A Historic Venue with Timeless Charm
The Great Tythe Barn in Tetbury stands as one of the Cotswolds' most sought-after wedding venues, blending historic architecture with contemporary comforts. Dating back to 1800, this Grade II listed Cotswold stone barn offers a perfect setting for couples seeking a venue with character and charm.
What Makes The Great Tythe Barn Special
Having DJed numerous weddings here, I've come to appreciate what sets this venue apart:
- The grand, high-ceilinged main barn that creates a spectacular atmosphere for your reception
- Beautiful surrounding gardens that provide perfect backdrop for photos
- Versatile spaces that transition seamlessly from ceremony to reception
- Exceptional acoustics that make both speeches and dancing memorable
- Five acres of grounds offering plenty of space for guests to explore
Creating the Perfect Atmosphere
The Great Tythe Barn's stone walls and exposed beams create a naturally rustic elegance that needs little embellishment. However, the right lighting and sound make all the difference in transforming the space throughout your day.
As your DJ and host, I work with the venue's unique character, highlighting its features with subtle uplighting that enhances rather than overwhelms the natural beauty. When the evening reception begins, we can transition to more dramatic lighting effects that complement the historic surroundings.
Musical Considerations for The Great Tythe Barn
The barn's acoustics are excellent, but proper sound management is essential. With its stone walls and high ceilings, music and announcements need to be carefully balanced to ensure clarity while maintaining the perfect volume throughout different parts of your day.
My experience at this venue means I understand exactly how to achieve this balance, ensuring speeches are heard clearly and music fills the space without overwhelming conversation.
