The Courtyard Barn
Ceremony Layouts
The Courtyard Barn can seat up around 100 guests for a ceremony, normally in rows of six, however with the flexibility to choose from four different layouts!
The Traditional Aisle
We can present the traditional aisle in three different ways. We sometimes find guests are invited to your wedding in pairs or possibly families of four. This means you have the option to choose from either a 3&3, 2&4 or 4&2 aisle layout, all depending on how you want the room to look.
The 3 & 3 gives you the symmetrical aisle center to the room, where as the 2 & 4 or 4 & 2 keeps the families and pairs more together.
Please see below photos and lay diagrams! Please click on the heading of the layout to download a plan.

Depending on your final numbers there may be space at the end of the barn for either the drinks station, your wedding cake or even some live music for your ceremony and drinks reception.
​
Intimate Layouts
For those looking for more the smaller intimate ceremonies with up to 40 guests but still want a long traditional aisle! We can set the Courtyard Barn with a beautiful 2 & 2 layout which still gives you a lovely aisle, utilizing the whole barn.

Middle Layout
​
Lastly we can also set up the Courtyard Barn with what we call our middle layout!
​
This is ideal for smaller, more intimate weddings. The bridal party would enter the barn through the middle double doors and use the courtyard in their aisle walk.
Guests all have a great view of the ceremony and it allows for a cosy and welcoming feel. This layout is still suitable for up to 100 guests so if you love this layout you can definitely still use it!

The Catesby Barn
Traditional Aisle
The Catesby Barn is a beautiful setting for your wedding ceremony and is especially favoured by those opting for a smaller, more intimate occasion.
​
The double height ceiling along with the option to have either our candelabras or your own colourful lanterns can really make an amazing atmosphere.
​
You can opt for the traditional layout in the Catesby Barn. This consists of four seats on the side furthest from the courtyard, with rows of two and three on the other and 14 seats under the mezzanine. This allows for more seating than the middle layout, yet still offers that cosy, intimate feel. The maximum number for this layout with a seated meal in the Courtyard Barn is 60 guests.

Middle Layout
For weddings of up to 18-20 guests, the middle layout allows you to use lots of the space up in the Catesby Barn without being too spread out. Chairs are slightly angled or curved to provide a good view for all your loved ones.
