Choosing your wedding venue is the first supplier you’re likely to choose and book because it means you have a date secured and you know the space you’re working with.

Hazel Gap Barn
Hazel Gap Barn is a hidden gem on the Welbeck Estate in Nottinghamshire and is located in beautiful countryside.
The Barn and the Farmhouse, two traditional red brick farm buildings, stand on either side of a stunning courtyard with a fountain, benches, trees, and planters, sheltered from the wind and ideal for post-ceremony drinks.
The Barn has been re-roofed with traditional oak timbers, and a fireplace, fairy lights, and massive candelabra have been added to create the ideal Ceremony Room.
A barn is always a lovely space to design with florals because when wood meets timeless flowers and colours, they stand out wonderfully.
