Barn wedding venue near Newbury, Berkshire
Your day,
done your way
The Post is a beautifully modern take on a countryside wedding venue. Our English oak barn brings together slick, contemporary architecture, bespoke design, and a personalised approach to planning - right down to the last detail.
The amount of people who said it was the "best wedding ever" is thanks, in no small part, to the team and beautiful venue.

- Nikki + Billy // August 2025 A dose of summer wedding inspiration for you - the parasols, the florals, the bow ties - we couldn’t love it more. And would you look at that, the sun stayed all day! A huge thank you to this gorgeous couple for letting us capture some snippets of their beautiful day ???? Great to work with: Photographer: @thekensingtonphotographer Florist: @thefwordflower DJ/Sax: @clubkudo @ads_on_sax Magician: @darrencampbellmagician Singing waiter: @singerssecreto
- Trés chic, wouldn’t you agree? But seriously, let’s talk parasols. Here’s why we love them: 1. Sun protection ????️ - it’s been one long, hot summer and as gorgeous as outdoor ceremonies look in the sun, it can be super hot sat under it as a guest! These offer shade for your guest’s comfort without compromising the aesthetic. 2. They’re so cute! - they add a vintage, romantic and whimsical feel that fits the English garden vibe perfectly. 3. Fun photo props ???? - soft, dreamy imagery. A cohesive look amongst guests. Need we say more? 4. Functional favours - they double as a thoughtful, reusable favours for guests to take home. You could even personalise them! So, are you guys loving this trend too? Did you or would you have these at your wedding? (A huge thank you to Nikki + Billy for letting us capture content at their gorgeous wedding ????)
- We can always rely on @harrisonandgreen to nail the brief ???? We hosted a fabulous client event at the weekend so we took it as an opportunity to play around with a different set up. We’re loving the rise in the serpentine tablescape trend this year, so we just had to try it out - this would be the perfect set up for an intimate wedding ???? Let us know what you think ????
