About Tall John’s House

We have lovingly restored and rejuvenated our beautiful stone barn to make the perfect space for you to create the wedding of your dreams.

The barn is a blank canvas venue - it is yours to style as you wish, to create a space that is personal, individual and unique to you. We know every bride is different, every couple is unique and your wedding day should reflect that. To help you create the wedding day you have both dreamed of, we offer you the chance to make the barn your own - your friends, your family, your style.

Using our extensive and varied supplier list you can decorate, furnish, light and characterise the barn to your own tastes, and your own budget. So if you’re after that certain flower from your first date to hang from the beams, or the bunting in your favourite colours or maybe a light up bar and the mirror dance floor to really get the party started- then not only will we let you do it, we’ll show you where to find it. Remember that we are a blank canvas venue, so if you’d rather source your own suppliers then that’s fine with us too.

The icing on the (wedding) cake is that as well as the use of our beautiful barn, you have access to to the enchanting, private courtyard behind the barn. The enclosed courtyard has an attractive wooden trellis over the paved floor and we can offer a transparent rain cover for gloomy days. To the front of the barn is plenty of access for your suppliers, disabled access and parking for disabled guests.

On the day of your wedding you will also have the use of the exquisite grounds at Tall Johns House, including the stunning walled garden with its rose bower, rill and double swing. This is the ideal setting, for pre-dinner drinks and wedding photographs.

    From when we arrived to when we left we felt welcomed and at home at Tall John’s; the whole weekend was amazing. In fact, if we could, we'd do it all over again!!

    Mike and I had our wedding at Tall John’s House in December 2022. And we honestly couldn’t have picked such a perfect venue. From the moment we viewed Tall John’s, we completely fell in love with the place- the house, barns and grounds are beautiful, and it was exactly the kind of ‘blank canvas’ wedding venue we were searching for. Even better-it’s dog friendly, so our little pooch could be included in our day too :). The whole planning process was a dream- Liza was so helpful and relaxed throughout. The place was so flexible with your plans, and the whole experience was stress free. Even with some last minute changes that were out of our control, Tall John’s staff were understanding and reassuring, and everything went so smoothly. Archie was great and very attentive throughout, and was there during the day for us and our guests if we needed anything, which was a great help too! The fact that the place is exclusive for the weekend of your wedding made it such a personal and relaxed place to be. We could make the weekend exactly how we wanted it to be! Ken cooked a lovely meal for us and the immediate wedding party the night before the wedding, and nothing was too much trouble! It was a lovely way to spend the night before the big day once we had finished decorating, and we really enjoyed ourselves. We got married in the main barn, and had our drinks reception in the Granary, with the reception then back in the main barn, as it was during the Winter. The main barn was so beautiful, and looked even better than I ever could have dreamed of! Everyone loved the Granary too- and were loving the secret room with the pool table! We had some lovely photos and videos in the grounds too. We used the Doctor’s Orders bar for the evening, which Archie and Sophie provide. They were so lovely to plan with, and they were fab on the night- everyone commented on how friendly they were, with a great selection of (very reasonably priced!) drinks. The cottages were spotless and such a lovely place to stay. Our guests stayed in the cottages, stables and Manor House - many said to us afterwards that the beds were the comfiest they had ever slept in, and were full of praise for the breakfast the next morning, which was a lovely way to end the weekend. Our only regret is that we didn’t book another night to relax for the day after the wedding. I honestly couldn’t recommend this place enough. My husband and I, as well as all of our guests had the most fantastic weekend, and are so grateful to Liza and all the team for truly making this the best weekend ever!!!

    The second we pulled up outside Tall John’s House we knew it was the one. The grounds and views are just incredible. Then when we got into the barn where we’ll be getting married it made us feel so emotional and that confirmed it for us!

    Thank you all for all your hard work and helping us make our wedding a dream come true. I couldn’t have done it all without your help and support. We couldn’t have wished for a more beautiful venue for our small and intimate wedding and Ken’s catering was at another level of mouthwatering goodness, Liz was amazing - she is just an amazing person to be around - and Archie helped keep everyone calm on the morning. We cannot thank everyone enough, they all were fantastic and made our day completely magical. We didn’t want it to end. Thank you.

    Many traditional venues only offer a handful of structured packages, hidden with obligatory choices, ‘must haves’ and hidden extras which can leave couples feeling constrained, hemmed in and with no flexibility, control or power to create the day they really desire. Weddings at Tall John’s House give you complete control to take over the barn from Friday to Sunday and transform it into the space YOU want for your wedding day.
