One of the joys of hosting your wedding at The Barns at Delbury Hall is the opportunity to make the space truly your own.

While the venue already provides a beautifully styled backdrop, we warmly encourage couples to add personal touches that reflect their individual style and vision for the day.

Throughout the venue you will find thoughtful details designed to create a warm and romantic atmosphere, including abundant greenery, soft lighting and fairy lights, which are carefully arranged to enhance the character of the spaces throughout the year. Many couples find that these existing features provide a lovely foundation, allowing them to keep additional décor simple while still creating a stunning setting.

The following guidelines are designed to help ensure that any additional styling works seamlessly within the venue, while also allowing our team to prepare the space smoothly for each celebration. Our aim is to make the process as easy and enjoyable as possible, while helping you create a day that feels beautifully personal.

Décor Collection & Removal

Smaller décor items left in the venue at the end of your wedding will be collected by our events team and stored safely for you, ready for collection the following morning.

For floral installations and large décor pieces, we kindly ask that these are designed with same-night removal or early morning collection in mind.

Key Timings for Large Décor Collection & Removal

  • 12:30am – Latest time for suppliers or designated representatives to collect large décor items on the night of the wedding

  • 8:30am (following morning) – Latest collection time for any large décor items left overnight

We have included some additional guidance further below.

Floral Archways, Mandaps & Other Large Décor Items

To ensure our team can prepare the venue beautifully for each celebration, and that every couple enjoys uninterrupted access for their own set-up, we kindly ask that large décor items (including arches, plinths, floral installations, backdrops, signage structures and hired furniture) are removed on the evening of your wedding wherever possible.

Items may be collected by 12:30am by either your professional supplier or a clearly designated, sober representative. The person responsible for collection should be confirmed at your Planning Meeting, so our team knows who to expect. As our team begins venue reset shortly after the event concludes, we are unfortunately unable to facilitate collections after 12:30am, and any remaining items will need to be collected the following morning.

For any large décor items left overnight, please arrange collection by 8:30am. After this time our team will begin preparing the venue for the next event, and items remaining in the main spaces may need to be moved into storage and dismantled if required.

While we will always handle items with care, we are unable to accept responsibility for any damage that may occur when moving décor left in situ. Items remaining beyond 8:30am may also impact preparations for the following event, and additional charges may apply to cover staffing, handling and operational disruption.

We are very happy to work with your suppliers to ensure collections are arranged smoothly and with minimal disruption to your celebrations.

Sorry, but we Don’t Allow…

  • Chinese Lanterns or Balloon Releases due to our rural location

  • Fireworks. This includes “silent” fireworks, since they can still cause distress local livestock (we do allow sparklers outside)

  • Naked flames inside the venue (candles are permitted providing they are in a lantern or other protective holder)

  • Plastic or metal confetti, confetti balls or guns

  • Hay Bales

  • We provide the furniture at The Barns at Delbury Hall and do not allow other furniture to be used

If you’ve got an idea for something and you’re unsure of whether we’ll allow it or not, just ask us. We’ll always try to be as accommodating as possible.

Chair Sashes

Sadly we cannot fix chair sashes in place for you due to the amount of time it takes on the morning of the wedding. However, we have a fantastic selection of stylists on our Recommended Suppliers list who can supply and fit your chair sashes from 10am on the big day.
