Projects: Wedding Venue Finishes on Site

New Bar

New Bar

Our Wedding Venue barn conversion project in Essex has now finished on site, right on time for the start of wedding season.

The barns have been converted from an old agricultural store into a warm and dry venue space, complete with fully stocked bar, catering kitchen and toilet facilities. The barns original ageing cladding was removed, the intricate steel frame refurbished and then the whole barn was wrapped in new insulated corrugated cladding. We installed three large sets of bifold doors to flood the space with light.

Our contractors were Warmhouse Ltd , based in Essex, who did a fantastic job for us.

Proper photos to come soon, but a couple of quick before photos below to show how far we’ve come!
