About Venue
Milling Barn at Bluntswood Hall is an idyllic setting for your wedding celebrations. The venue enjoys an unrivalled location within the beautiful North Hertfordshire countryside, set on a charming family-run farm.
The Milling Barn is a delightful 17th Century oak barn, while the adjoining Dairy Barn is a converted milking parlour. Both barns are licensed to hold civil ceremonies, allowing you to spend your whole day at our exclusive venue. Alternatively, for something a bit different, you can choose to exchange your vows outdoors in the beautiful gardens or woodland setting.
Whether you plan to get married here or in your local church, both the Milling Barn and the Dairy Barn are perfect for your wedding reception, accommodating 180 and 150 guests respectively. The flexible barns, complete with licensed bars, can be arranged to suit the unique feel of your wedding from formal to more relaxed.
Weddings are our speciality at Milling Barn. We have played host to a number of bespoke wedding ceremonies, services and receptions for over 15 years. Every wedding held here is greeted with the same enthusiasm and attention to detail, and we take a personal approach to meet each and every couple’s specific ideas, needs and requirements. We strive to provide your dream day in a truly wonderful location.
To make the most of our beautiful setting here at Milling Barn, we have teamed up with acclaimed local catering company The Chopping Block to provide our wedding catering. The Chopping Block have been catering at numerous wedding venues for over 10 years and as such have built up an amazing reputation for great tasting food, imaginative ideas and excellent service.

We had an absolutely amazing time at Milling Barn. The day was absolutely flawless and we put that down to the exceptional professionalism of the staff. Everything was on time and we didnt have a single worry the whole day. Niamh was exceptional throughout the planning processes, very responsive to email and available for phone calls when we were unsure on planning decisions.

Lauren, Rosie and the team at The Milling Barn could not have done more to make our day the most amazing, magical, wonderful experience that it was! Nothing was too much and they went above and beyond to make our dreams come true! Right from the beginning they made us feel reassured everything was in hand, on the day they were so attentive, we had everything we needed and more! Our dog was also looked after, they bought her a water bowl! The accommodation is comfortable and clean, the meal was amazing, I also love that they made sure we got drinks and canapés, we were made to feel very comfortable and special, thank you for all your hard work and for making sure we had a magical day! Love to you all, Brioney & Philip

We had our wedding at Milling Barn and we wanted to say a massive thank you to the team for making our wedding day so special. The team on site were incredibly attentive, their communication was great and everything ran on time thanks to them. The staff even made sure that we (the bride and groom) got canapés and reception drinks despite having to run off for pictures. The food tasted great, the service was really quick (even guests commented on how good this was). The evening pizzas were also really popular with guests. The team even responded positively to last minute changes in circumstances on the day (including adding a guest and changing dietary requirements for a guest). The dressing room is also really spacious (enough space for 8 of us, plus two make up artists and a hair stylist) and Niamh kept checking in to see if we needed any help in the morning too which was fantastic. The venue itself is beautiful and is perfect for pictures. As everything is super closely located on site, it also helped the whole day run really smoothly. Thank you to Niamh, Grace and the Milling Barn team for helping the day run more smoothly than we could’ve imagined!
