The Ashes Barns Wedding Band
Stone barns and a country house in the Staffordshire Moorlands, booked for one wedding at a time. We have played here, and the barns are made for a 9-piece band and a packed dancefloor.
About the venue
Stone barns in the Moorlands
On Leek Road in Endon, between Stoke-on-Trent and Leek, The Ashes Barns and Country House is an exclusive-use wedding venue, so the barns, the house and the gardens are all yours for the day.
The day is split across two barns. The West Barn is used for ceremonies, and the East Barn hosts the wedding breakfast and the party, for up to 150 guests.
There is a dressing room in The Stables for getting ready, gardens for drinks and photos, and the Old Dairy wedding night suite, which is included in the hire.
The country house sleeps 16, and with the Coach House and the shepherd hut, up to 22 guests can stay on site. We have played a wedding here, so we know the barns and the set-up.
Vows in the West Barn, dinner in the East Barn, horns to finish.
Why a live band
