Saint Ewe Wedding almost ruined ********* Lower Barns Saint Ewe Spoiled wedding ********* After reading many reviews about weddings at this venue we decided to book Lower Barns for our elopement wedding. The reviews main content was how helpful the owners are, how they help make your day so special, how nothing is too much trouble for them, well our experience was the absolute opposite. If it wasn’t for the people we are, our wedding day would have been ruined. After driving 240 miles we were greeted by Mike, whom I presume is the husband, to show us to our accommodation. The owner, Janie whom I had previously spoken to via telephone and email didn’t We booked Lower Barns wedding venue purely on the reviews. They raved about how lovely Janie and Mike are and how they’ll help make your day special and nothing is too much trouble. Definitely not the experience we had. On arrival at the venue Mike came out Janie didn’t come out or in fact ever introduce herself at any time during our 2 nights stay. The only time I saw her was during our wedding ceremony as unfortunately we had previously arranged for them to be our witnesses. During our long drive down to Cornwall my sister telephoned to say her and my brother in law are already in Cornwall and have their wedding outfits ready and a bottle of champagne to celebrate. They wanted to surprise us and be our witnesses. We were so happy and excited they had done that for us.

Bearing in mind we had paid £1500 pounds for 2 nights and £450 for Mike to be our photographer. They now wanted another 10% so my sister and brother in law can sit with us for 15 minutes. At this point I will mention that my brother in law has terminal cancer and has made the rest of his life all about making memories. Myself and my husband were not only astonished but absolutely fuming at the sheer greed. I said to the back of Mike’s head (he’d carried on walking as he told us) but they’ve driven all the way from the Midlands to which he responded “it’s in the terms and conditions”. We then had to drive into town to tell my sister and brother in law who were obviously very upset. They offered to pay the £200 to be witnesses but after discussing it at length, we decided on principle not to be held ransom for £200. The joy had been taken out of the whole experience. We’d intended on drinking champagne in the hot tub and really having a lovely time together but the atmosphere changed. We felt unwelcome and uncomfortable and we both stated we couldn
