Oxfordshire barn venue opens doors for prospective wedding couples

Oxfordshire wedding venue The Tythe Barn in Launton is holding an open day with a twist on Sunday 9th June, as the 14th-century barn hosts its very first pretend wedding day.

Owner Emma Deeley says, "We want the day to be as close to the feel of a real life wedding as possible so that our couples can get a really good insight into how the venue works. We will be pulling out all the stops to create a fictional 'wedding day' and that will include a variety of ceremony set ups, lighting options and having all of our Hire Shop items out on show."

Says Emma, "We are keen to demonstrate how adaptable the space is and how easy it is for our couples to interpret the barn in a way that is perfectly tailored to their own personal style and personality." From flexible seating layouts which include banqueting lines or individual tables, to the array of lighting options there are a host of possibilities.

Emma has also invited hair and make-up experts Katie-Jane Whitlock and Katie Burt along to base themselves in The Nook, the luxurious bridal preparation barn, so that they can chat to brides about the ins and outs of getting ready for the big day.

The venue will be open between 11am and 3pm, but you must preregister by emaling info@thetythebarn.co.uk, which also gains you entry (after registering on the day) into a prize draw to win a luxury bridal hamper.
