Decorations & Fire Safety

You may decorate the barns and site being mindful of fire and safety. Candles and naked flames are NOT ALLOWED indoors under any circumstances. You may use the fake LED candles with flickering lights. These are very effective and look like the real thing in pics. We are happy to make exceptions for indoor caterers BY ARRANGEMENT. Chinese lanterns that float away and burn are NOT permitted.

• Disposal of bar and catering waste

Waste disposal is included in venue hire, BUT all decorations should be taken down and taken away if they belong to you. If you want to leave any behind, please ask us as we have limited storage space. Our decorations may be left outside the store room at the back of the barn so that we can check and put away. All rubbish and waste should be collected together in bin-bags or bins as appropriate. You should walk around the site and pick up any rubbish, including cigarette ends, and place in the bins. Please leave the site as you found it.

You must do the following yourselves:

• Give notice of Marriage in your district
• Book a Shropshire registrar to legalise your wedding ceremony at Barnutopia (licensed for ceremonies) if you choose to get married onsite

You may self-cater, use mobile caterers or enquire about Barnutopia event catering for part or all of your catering on any of our packages.

Only water soluble biodegradable contetti may be used. No paper, foil or flower petals permitted.

We often take pictures of the site, events and guests during an event. We may use these images for marketing and promotion purposes. Of course, we won't post on social media until you have posted your own images (or when you tell us it's okay to do so). We're also happy to share our images with you; however, we are not professional photographers and we cannot guarantee the quality or pics of a particular moment.

Professional Photographers

We strongly recommend that you hire a professional photographer if a picture record of your event is very important. We would appreciate permission (from you and your photographer) to use at least a few images for the purpose of information and promotion. For example, on our website and social media. We will of course attribute the image correctly to the photographer.

You are welcome to hire a mobile disco, band or other musical enteratainment for your wedding or event.

Noise Policy

You can play loud music or have a DJ/band in the event barn but you cannot blast music at concert levels. It is not necessary. One of the reasons guests choose Barnutopia is because of its location in the stunning and peaceful Shropshire countryside. That is also the reason many choose to live in the area. Please be mindful of excessive noise at all times.

Many couples like to organise or do these optional add-ons themselves. However, we are happy to quote for any of these items if you won’t have the time to arrange everything yourselves. Please enquire.
