Your West Midlands Wedding - April/May (Issue 79)

BENNETTS WILLOW BARN, WR2 4BS 01905 590 016 | www.bennettswillowbarn.co.uk Situated on a working dairy farm and surrounded by grazing fields, Bennetts Willow Barn has been built within a woodland next to a charming lake. The exterior boasts beautiful flowers throughout the year, picturesque log walls, fairylights, willow trees and a firepit. CELEBRATE IN STYLE Outdoor ceremonies are very popular, but couples can choose to run the day how they want, holding ceremonies outside in the gardens, in the yurt marquee or the barn. The 20m long yurt marquee is full of rustic charm. If couples hire the yurt marquee, they will have private, exclusive use of the adjacent gardens, including the firepit and outdoor space for garden games or even a bouncy castle. It can seat up to 140 people or 150 guests without a seat each. The barn is slightly smaller and can seat up to 100 guests at any one time, with a maximum capacity of 150 people for the evening party. WE LOVE... There is a glamping site on the farm, so accommodation can easily become part of the wedding celebration. Bennetts Willow Barn offers a discount for hiring the barn or yurt marquee for a first-anniversary wedding celebration or engagement party. The property isn’t currently licensed for ceremonies but is perfect for a celebrant-led celebration. SAFARI VENUES, DY12 1LF 01299 406 460 | www.safarivenues.co.uk Safari Venues is situated within the grounds of the West Midland Safari Park and is home to three gorgeous wedding locations. Couples will experience animal encounters, special safari-inspired gifts and a four-mile safari drive-through, which can be incorporated into wedding celebrations.

There are a variety of rooms to cater for all numbers, including the use of a private bar and lounge facilities.
