January at The Oaks Barn
What a January it’s been! Although we don’t host weddings within this winter month, we’ve had a fantastic and fun packed couple of weekends welcoming couples to our VIP viewing days. With the festive period traditionally being the engagement season, couples booked a time to come and see us and our team guided visitors around the barn. Talking through how the day could be shaped and making suggestions to help incorporate the twists and turns that make each day unique.
