At Harefield Barn, this takes place in The Leveret Suite which is much loved by everyone! We’ve designed the room with loads of space and a quirky boudoir feel, where comfort and style work together with all the practicalities you need for the morning of your special day. There are plugs and mirrors aplenty, a private loo and shower, and the recent addition of a fridge makes sure that your fruit stays fresh and your bubbles stay chilled.

This set of beautiful photos by Kathryn Clarke-Mcleod shows Ruth and her besties having a fabulous fun-filled morning; and the girls made sure there were plenty of surprises throughout the day, including the mid morning arrival of Bridal Brunches with a cart full of delicious food and drink to keep everyone going!

The Leveret Suite is just off the Barn’s Gallery area, so it’s easy for the bridal party to slip back during the day ro refresh their make-up, and it can also provide a lovely private area for the happy couple to escape for a few moment’s peace. It’s even the perfect spot for breastfeeding mums whose little one is being distracted by the festivities!

For couples who may be getting ready elsewhere, the Leveret Suite makes for a perfect evening ‘drawing room’ for friends and family who may want a slightly quieter environment; but be warned, if you and your bridal party use it for morning preparations and you’d like to open it up to guests in the evening too – a tidy up might be required! It’s amazing how much ‘stuff’ can accumulate from a bride and her tribe – but then, that’s why we made it so big, and that’s what wedding mornings are all about – relaxing and having fun!
