Award Winning Wedding Venue
Best Wedding Venue
You Made it All Possible
The Ashes is an Award Winning Wedding Venue! Winning Best National Wedding Venue 2014 at the Wedding Industry Awards was just incredible and to have been voted Regional Winner for Best Wedding Venue West Midlands three years running!
The Wedding Industry Awards are incredibly important to us, as it is only the Brides and Grooms who got married at The Ashes that can vote for us. For so many of them to have given us such glowing recommendations means the world to us.
The Ashes Barn Wedding Venue is a family owned wedding venue in the West Midlands and we never forget what an honour it is to welcome couples for their incredible day.
Here’s just a brief overview of what our couples love about The Ashes:
Stunning Setting
Rustic Barns
Couples can enjoy an intimate wedding ceremony in The West Barn, one of two Grade II* Listed wedding barns at The Ashes; licensed for weddings, this magnificent stone barn can seat up to 150 guests comfortably.
No Corkage Wedding Venue
It’s your big day and we believe you should be able to serve the drinks you love. The Ashes is a no corkage charge wedding venue; we give you the option to supply your own daytime drinks and we don’t apply a corkage charge.
Fabulous Food
The East Barn at The Ashes is where you can look forward to enjoying a fabulous Wedding Breakfast. The Ashes works exclusively with one of the most respected independent caterers in the UK to ensure that your wedding food is remembered as one of the highlights of your wedding day.
Exclusive-Use Wedding Venue
You are our sole priority on your wedding day, you enjoy exclusive-use of The Ashes Barns and our focus is on getting everything perfect for you.
It really does make a difference when you know that everyone at the venue is an invited guest. It makes it so much more relaxed for you and so much easier for your guests to mingle.
About The Wedding Industry Awards
"The Wedding Industry Awards really have become the gold standard for wedding excellence in this country and, as our regional award ceremony proved, the wedding industry in the West Midlands is packed full with passionate, innovative and committed suppliers."
“It’s becoming harder and harder for our judges to pick winners from such amazing shortlists where everyone demonstrates such skill. It was great to celebrate everyone’s achievements and then party all night!” Founder of The Wedding Industry Awards - Damian Bailey.
We Fell In Love With The Ashes Barns
"The Ashes is the most perfect wedding venue and we still feel so lucky to have gotten married there. The venue itself is lovely but the real beauty comes from the owners and staff who are so flexible and unbelievably helpful, even when faced with our odd ideas! We can’t thank them all enough."
