Kayleigh & Andrew | Real Weddings at Bachilton Barn

Kayleigh & Andrew's wedding day finally came in December 2021 after 3 rearranged dates! They had a beautifully playful day which included their dog and an iconic cake piñata... Here's what they said about planning their wedding at Bachilton Barn!

How did you two meet?
We were part of the same bridal party but as Andrew had recently returned from living in the States we were only introduced a few days before the wedding in the gym. At the wedding we became inseparable and the rest is history.

What was it that made you choose Bachilton Barn?

It was the only venue we looked at, after seeing it for the first time we knew it was the one for us. The surroundings are beautiful, the spaces within the barn and the lovely cottages all fitted with what we needed.

What was important to you when planning your wedding?

Having the ability to do a lot of DIY aspects and including our dog.

Tell us about your big day! What was your favourite part?

Our ceremony was by far our favourite part! The room was stunning, Kayleigh’s Dad built our yellow triangle arch which was a talking point. Our local Humanist Brian was fantastic and had our guests in laughter or happy tears throughout. Having our dog there made it very special and comical too. If we could have a second favourite, our wedding piñata cake was a hilarious alternative to a cake cutting moment!

What tips and tricks would you give to other couples planning their wedding?
The biggest tip would be to make decisions based on what you want as a couple, rather than trying to please all your guests. From location, to food and everything in between, everyone will have something to say. However on the day, as long as you do what you wanted the only thing your guests will be speaking about is the amount of love in the room on the day.

How are you enjoying married life?
After 3 rearranged dates and getting married on the 4th time, the weight of the worry lifted as soon as we said ‘I do’, it has been wonderful to relax together over the last few weeks and look forward to a honeymoon some time in 2022.
