Introducing our Twilight weddings: Romantic, Relaxed, Magical

A twilight wedding at Winters Tale Country Barn is the perfect place to celebrate with your family and friends in a totally relaxed style. After your late afternoon ceremony enjoy celebratory drinks in our festoon-lit courtyard, followed by casual dining in a style of your choice.

When night falls the venue is transformed with magical lighting from twinkling fairy lights to coloured mood lighting, creating the perfect ambience to dance and party the night away. Additionally, our cocktail bar opens on the upstairs gallery giving you the chance to indulge in one of our delectable cocktails or venture behind our secret door to relax in our sumptuous snug area.

In the summer months be mesmerised by the spectacular sunsets across the fields and capture those treasured golden hour photos in our extensive grounds including our flower filled secret garden. During the winter months enjoy the romantic magical atmosphere, whilst taking the opportunity to capture some beautiful photos under the starlit sky.

You and your suppliers will be able to access the venue for pre-wedding set up from 1pm on the day of your twilight wedding.

Our barn wedding accommodation is not included for twilight weddings, but can be booked at an additional cost.

If it’s raining on the day of your wedding, then celebration drinks can be moved into the marquee.

Midweek (Tue, Wed or Thur) twilight weddings can be held between March and November. Saturday twilight weddings can only be booked in March or November – the darker evenings make this time of year extra special.

A hidden gem in Buckinghamshire

I would like to say from myself an on behalf of my wife the biggest thank you to the team at Winters Tale as we could not fault a single thing about the venue and was so impressed with the organisation of the day and so grateful for all the hard work the team put in to make our day so special!
