As a recommended supplier at The Barnsdale for over 11 years, I can confidently say that this beautiful Rutland wedding venue is one of my absolute favourites. Nestled in the heart of the countryside, The Barnsdale offers the perfect blend of modern elegance and rustic charm, making it a dream setting for your wedding day – and, of course, for your wedding cake!
The Barn itself is full of character, with its exposed beams and warm, inviting atmosphere. It’s stunning in every season – whether you’re going for cosy winter vibes with candlelight and rich, deep colours or a light and airy summer feel with fresh florals and soft pastels. The beauty of this space is that it adapts to your vision, allowing your personality to shine through in every detail – including your cake!
One of the things I love most about designing cakes for The Barnsdale is the opportunity to place them against a blank wall. This simple trick lets the cake take centre stage, allowing the design to truly stand out in your photographs. Whether you’re dreaming of a sleek modern masterpiece, or something bold and colourful that reflects your unique style, this venue provides the perfect backdrop to showcase it. The neutral tones of the barn complement any design, meaning you’re free to be as understated or as extravagant as you like – and I’m here to bring your vision to life.
Beyond the aesthetics, what really sets The Barnsdale apart is the incredible team behind it. From both a supplier’s and a couple’s perspective, Beth and the team are simply wonderful to work with. Their attention to detail, seamless coordination, and genuine warmth make the entire process feel effortless. Nothing is too much trouble – they go above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly, leaving you to relax and enjoy your day.
Outside of weddings, I’ve also had the pleasure of hosting cake decorating workshops at The Barnsdale as part of their expanding events programme and incredible support for local businesses. These sessions are designed for all skill levels, from complete beginners to those looking to refine their techniques. It’s always a joy to share my passion with others in such a welcoming and inspiring setting. If you'd like to learn with me and improve your cake decorating skills, contact me for more information.
