Knebworth House and Barns

Honestly? From the moment we toured the venue that very first time, to our wonderful day yesterday we couldn’t have been happier with the communication, hard work and dedication from all the team involved. They were always happy to answer any and all questions we had and support us through the planning process. Our day went without a single problem, the operations team were brilliant and everything flowed seamlessly. Venue was stunning and eve

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding venue. From the moment we started planning right through to the end of our wedding day, the entire team went above and beyond to make everything absolutely perfect. A huge thank you to our incredible wedding coordinator, Katie. She was by our side every step of the way, making sure every little detail was taken care of. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and she made the whole experience completely stress-free. We truly felt looked after from start to finish. We also have to give a special mention to Martin, who was simply amazing. He stood outside in the rain making sure our drinks were never empty and that we were always looked after. His kindness, attentiveness, and genuine care made such a difference to our day and didn’t go unnoticed. Every single member of the team was so welcoming, professional, and accommodating. They went out of their way to ensure not only we, but all of our guests, had the most incredible experience. It’s clear they genuinely care about creating unforgettable weddings. We are so grateful for everything you did to make our day so special. Thank you for giving us memories that will last a lifetime

The surroundings of the gardens, fields is amazing for photography opportunities. The team been exceptionally from the Sales communication especially Katie who followed us throughout the planning stage, Martin the Operational Manager was absolutely amazing on the day, providing our drinks, dealt with minor issues with the Breakfast efficiently. Nothing was too small to handle. We are lost of words to describe the whole day itself as it was stress free, the vendors we used work in twine together as if they are family ❤️😊 Guests were praising the venue as being the most amazing gorgeous place to have a wedding. We fell in love at our first showcase and didn't look back as ot

I cannot recommend Knebworth Barns enough. They were incredible and an integral part in bringing our dream wedding to life. Not only is it a stunning venue, the staff are amazing and truly take care of you. Whenever I went in to seem them or had a meeting it felt like I was seeing an old friend. The day ran impeccably. They worked with us and around the weather. Made sure we were watered during the photos and the food was incredible. I have had so many compliments on the food, from the main m

Knebworth House is a beautiful venue, and despite everything, we had the most incredible wedding day. The food was fantastic and we would like to shout out the on-the-day staff as they were absolutely great, too! However, we unfortunately cannot recommend the venue to other couples if they value communication. We have sent feedback directly to the team which they have responded to, so our review here will not contain anything unknown to them. We will not go into great detail as they are now equipped to improve if they choose to action the feedback, but we felt it best to share part of our experience, in the hope that another couple will have the information they need to make an informed choice for them. One of the key points in our feedback was around communication. Both my partner and I value communication above all else, and unfortunately this is where Knebworth fell flat for us. We had a longer-than-typical engagement (approx. 2 years) and in this time there were changes in staff. Whilst this was beyond the team’s control, what was in their control is how this was communicated. We found out our wedding co-ordinator had left because I had emailed in some questions and received an automated response stating that she no longer worked there. Whilst I did receive a call after I emailed to ask for clarity, I feel this information could have been relayed more proactively, in a way that would have instilled more trust with the venue staff. We had a very similar thing happen again later, so we are confident this wasn’t a one-off communication error. And, even after forwarding my questions on after the follow-up call, it took 23 days to get a response. And I think the main point around their communication is that it wasn’t proactive, but very reactive. For example, we were told that menu tastings would take place 6 months before our wedding, but I had to email to ask when it would be scheduled, and was given a date that was originally within 2 months of our wedding day. This would have been just after Christmas, and would have been peak wedding prep time being so close to the big day, so it just wouldn’t have been sufficient time. This was rectified after a back-and-forth, but I feel again, things were just a bit disorganised and poorly communicated, and there were just too many instances like this for us to be comfortable with recommending the venue. There are several more points we could make, as our planning process unfortunately has many more examples of poor communication or other issues entirely. But as mentioned, the venue has been given this feedback and so this review is just to provide others with a view of our experiece. Communicating with the venue was our single most stressful part of wedding planning, and unfortunately this didn't change even on the morning of the wedding itself. We hope this honest review helps ano

We would like to thank Alison who took over from Faye and helped plan our wedding from start to end. She made sure all the planning ran smoothly and helped with all questions we had over the planning period. She was extremely kind and understanding with our disability requirements for family. Nothing felt like a stupid question and everything was handled quickly and efficiently. On the day we weren't blessed with the best weather but the team at Knebworth were very flexible and helpful which made everything 10x better. Martin our events manager was amazing, always on hand, very experienced and couldn't do enough for us. Martin made me feel at ease the entire day. From helping with brollys in the rain to checking the wine on the table. He was extremely helpful with the photos and helping us get some last minute photos when the rain did eventually stop. After what I can only describe as one of the best days to remember, Martin was there till the very end of the night. As the guests left very happy and a little drunk I told the dj to pack away and Martin was there making sure everything was going smoothly. I feel he was an absolute star and a massive asset to the team. We have bragged to many people of how well we were looked after. Also 1st class event specialists were amazing. we were blown away with the amazing job she did to make the venue match our personality best! After looking throug

How lucky are we to have had our wedding at the absolutely gorgeous @knebworth_barns?! We toured A LOT of venues (it turns out more than the average person does lol) and we just knew as soon as we saw Knebworth it was where we wanted to get married. We couldn't have asked for a better team than Rachel, Martin & the Knebworth staff. Rachel looked after us so well in the lead up to the wedding (she matches my spreadsheet energy and I promise it's important to find haha) and Martin & the team couldn't do enough for us on the day. Everyone

Knebworth House was the first venue we viewed and we instantly knew this was our venue. We got married in the Manor Barn and had our reception in the Lodge Barn. Kelly helped us planning our big day. Having no idea how to plan a wedding, Kelly's expertise and calmness was very much appreciated and welcomed. She helped us making the day our own. Martin, Brock and Joanne, thank you all so much for your work on our big day and making sure it went so smoothly. Special thanks to Martin who stood around with drinks for me and my husband when we took our photos! Such a little detail which made us feel very special! The barns themselves have such nice character and the fairy lights created a very romantic atmosphere. The team quickly rearranged the Manor Barn from the ceremony setting to the wedding breakfast setting. They did all the work and I did not have to worry about it. We had a wedding tasting earlier in the year and we go to try a starter, main and dessert each. All of our guest have, since the wedding, said how much they loved the food! My husband and I agree, it was very n

Our wedding at Knebworth House and Barns was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning surroundings – the historic grandeur of the house and the rustic charm of the barns created the perfect blend of elegance and warmth. The team went above and beyond to make sure every detail was flawless, from the setup to the personalized touches that made the day feel truly unique to us. The ceremony in the beautiful gardens was like something out of a fairytale, with breathtaking views of the stately grounds as our backdrop. Our reception in the Barns was equally unforgettable – the space felt intimate yet grand, with its high wooden beams and twinkling lights. The staff were incredibly attentive and ensured everything ran smoothly, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment with our guests. The food was outstanding, with our guests raving about the quality and presentation of every course. The attention to detail throughout the entire day was impeccable, making it clear that Knebworth House and Barns truly care about creating an unforgettable experience for every couple. If you're looking for a wedding venue that combines history, beauty, and exceptional service, I c

Our wedding day was absolutely amazing and we can’t thank the team at Knebworth House & Barns enough for everything they did. The whole planning process from start to finish was made incredibly easy by Rachel and no request was too big. Whenever we had a question, she would always respond promptly and we really appreciated her flexibility and help in making our wedding day so perfect. The day itself was very smooth and just wanted to give a special shout out to both Martin and Jadine who did a brilliant job of coordinating all suppliers and guests to ensure everyone knew where they needed to be. The attention to detail was amazing and it was very evident to everyone how much the team at Knebworth House & Barns all cared about making our wedding such a special day. All the guests were in awe of the venue and had a great time both during the drinks reception in the Sunken Lawn but also in the Manor & Lodge Barns which looked stunning. Everyone loved the food, from the canapés and wedding breakfast to the evening baps, which were all delicious and presented beautifully (a special shout out to the chefs for working with us to tailor the dishes and for such a stunning menu!). All the team and staff on the day were incredibly friendly and helpful and were very popular with all the guests. Without a shadow of a doubt, we would highly recommend Knebworth House & Barns to any couple considering a venue for their wedding and just wanted to say a HUGE thank you again to Rachel, Jadin

We had such an amazing wedding day at Knebworth. Rachel was brilliant throughout the whole process, really looking after us and responding super quickly to questions. We had several pre wedding meetings to make sure everything was as we wanted on the day and nothing was too much trouble. Martin, Rachel and the team also looked after us so well on the day. It was so obvious how important it was to them to make sure we had the best wedding possible and they really delivered. They looked after us and our guests ever

Knebworth were amazing with planning our wedding! Anything requests was taken into account and the team were so flexible to make

Everything from the venue, to every individual member of staff, were absolutely fantastic!! Our wedding planner was brilliant all the way through, and the staff on the day were 100% the reason for why everything went so smoothly. Our day was even better than we imagined, and these guys were the reason!! Re

Perfect venue for the perfect day. The staff went above and beyond to help make our day amazing, 10/10. In particular, we are so grateful to Alice, Jadine, Laura, Sid

The Knebworth team went above and beyond for us. Laura, Sydney and Jadine ensured our day was the best it possible could’ve been. The feedback from our guests was so positive and they said it was one of the best venues they had been too. We can’t thank Knebworth enough for making it the perfect day for us. Highly recommend!
