Barnsdale Gardens is a beautiful Rutland wedding venue for couples who want their day to feel relaxed, personal and completely their own. With its multiple famous gardens, outdoor ceremony space and plenty of flexibility when it comes to your reception, it’s somewhere you can create a wedding that genuinely reflects the two of you.

An Outdoor Wedding Ceremony

The wedding ceremony space at Barnsdale Gardens is beneath the wooden arbour, surrounded by the greenery and seasonal colour of the gardens. You can hold a civil ceremony here or choose a celebrant-led ceremony, giving you more freedom to include personal readings, music and traditions.

The gardens provide a naturally beautiful backdrop, so you don’t need to add lots of decoration unless you want to. They also give you plenty of gorgeous locations for photographs without needing to leave the venue.

A Wedding Reception That’s Completely Yours

From 4pm, you have exclusive use of Barnsdale Gardens, so the venue becomes completely yours for the evening. There’s something very special about having the gardens to yourselves, and it gives wedding receptions here a wonderfully laid-back, private feel.

You can bring in a marquee or tipi and create almost any style of celebration, from relaxed garden party to colourful festival or elegant countryside wedding. As Barnsdale Gardens is a dry-hire venue, you can also choose your own caterers and suppliers, giving you much more control over the food, styling and overall experience.

Wedding Cakes at Barnsdale Gardens

The flexibility of the venue means almost any weddg cake would work beautifully here. A floral tiered cake would look perfectly at home surrounded by the gardens, while a colourful Lambeth cake could add something playful to a relaxed tipi wedding.

A dessert table works particularly well at Barnsdale Gardens. Guests can help themselves to cake, brownies, cupcakes and other treats throughout the evening, complementing the informal atmosphere of having the gardens completely to yourselves. Cupcake bouquets, individual table cakes or a simple cake decorated with fresh berries would also look lovely.

Love Life Eat Cake is a recommended supplier at Barnsdale Gardens and, being based just down the road, I know the venue and how cakes and dessert displays can work within the space.
