The Venue
The Barns
If you have always dreamed of a wedding venue in a beautiful country setting, with rustic charm and the ability to make it your own then Balfreish Barns is the perfect place. We want to offer you this beautiful venue where your imagination can take over. We prefer to host weddings during the summer months - the gardens and surrounds just look so much better in the warmer months, but we are sometimes open to persuasion! We provide the venue and as much or little help as required. We can recommend excellent local suppliers – from florists and cake makers to photographers and pipers and anything else in between.
The venue comes with extras such as barrels, old farm props, fire pits for toasting marshmallows, outdoor furniture and blankets just in case it gets chilly.
There are many pretty spots around the venue suitable for an outdoor ceremony with either the Long Barn or the Cow Shed offering space for a plan B if the weather is poor.
We offer you access (by arrangement) prior to your wedding as well as a minimum of 3 days access to the venue at the time of the wedding, i.e. the day before , the special day and the day after to tidy up. We also offer, at an additional cost, the venue for the day after the wedding if you would like to extend the celebrations in the form of a BBQ/buffet lunch. This would be until 8pm in the evening.
And if you really don’t feel like clearing up this can be arranged for an additional cost.
You just need to add good food, drinks, music and of course, good friends.
Why not call us today to arrange a viewing of this wonderful rustic venue and start the journey on making your Wedding day perfect!
The Long Barn - the Long Barn can seat up to 90 guests for a formal meal at long tables and is an ideal space for a Ceilidh or disco in the evening.
The Cow Shed - this barn can seat up to 50 guests for an indoor ceremony. It is also an ideal quiet space where guests can mingle with a drink if the weather is particularly Scottish or they would just like some time out from the music!
Hamish’s Tavern - this old Bull Pen has been renamed after one of our dogs and as the name suggests is the bar area. Fridges are provided to keep drinks cold and there is a freezer to ensure lots of ice is on hand.
The Games Room - there is a pool table and darts board in this barn should any guests feel like playing some indoor games.
The Gardens
Within the gardens there are lots of beautiful photo opportunities as well as spots for your wedding ceremony. Around the barns there are half barrels filled with flowers to enhance the setting and numerous tables and seats/benches dotted around.
