Bury Manor Barn Full Description
Bury Manor Barn offers a range of stunning spaces for couples to use as a backdrop to their special day. Couples who are exchanging their vows in the summer can make use of the amphitheatre, which provides spectacular views of the river and castle. The walled garden offers a remarkable setting for one-of-a-kind wedding photos, as well as a serene space for walks through the blossoming shade. The woodland area also provides a splendid choice for pictures. The barn itself offers a remarkable setting for receptions. It split into two rooms, to create a flawless flow throughout the events. The inner barn offers an elegant space for ceremonies, accommodating up to 120 people. Guests can then move into the outer barn, which can host up to 140 for banquets, before returning to the inner area for the dancing portion of the evening. This barn has a historical church within walking distance, offering easy access for those who wish to have a church wedding. Alternatively, humanist, civil ceremonies and celebrant-led ceremonies can also be conducted on-site.

Amazing wedding venue

We hired Bury Manor Barn for our wedding and had the most amazing day. Julie, Gemma and Sarah are all amazing and nothing was too much. The venue is flexible and allows you to bring your own alcohol for the day with no corkage which saved us tons! We had a bit of rain for part of the day so having the covered terrace was ideal and still meant we could take advantage of the amazing views. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to book their wedding or event.

I honestly couldn’t recommend this venue more!

We celebrated our wedding at Bury Manor Barn on the 1st June 2024, and it was the most incredible day! All of our guests raved about how wonderful the venue was and could not get over the views across the river! The grounds were beautiful, and the two sections of the barn make is so convenient for the party, as you don’t have to wait for any of the rooms to be turned around between different parts of the day.

We celebrated our wedding at Bury Manor Barn on the 1st June 2024, and it was the most incredible day!

The grounds were beautiful, and the two sections of the barn make is so convenient for the party, as you don't have to wait for any of the rooms to be turned around between different parts of the day. I honestly couldn't recommend this venue more, having the opportunity to come in the day before was also fantastic, as it meant we could do all the decoration and set up ourselves, which turned out to be a really fun part of the wedding prep, with our families there to help us. On the day, everything went exactly as planned, and the co-ordinators at the venue were there to help with anything we needed! Nothing was too much to ask! They were also a massive help with the clear up the next day!

Epic!

This is the most magical venue. Views of the south downs, on the river, 12th century buildings...what more could you want?! The event staff are super helpful and made sure everything went seamlessly. We had the most incredible day here. There is everything you would need come rain or shine. Epic! Can't rate it highly enough :)

We couldn’t recommend Bury Manor Barn enough!

We had such a fantastic experience getting married at Bury Manor Barn. From our first visit through to sorting out everything post-wedding, Julie, Gemma and Sarah were extremely helpful and meant our wedding planning was straightforward despite it being a dry hire venue. As well as being in absolutely incredible setting, the barn itself is beautiful and the layout allowed us the flexibility to work around whatever the weather decided to throw at us. We couldn’t recommend Bury Manor Barn enough!

A beautiful and seamless wedding at BMB

We had SUCH a fabulous time at our wedding at Bury Manor Barn. The setting is simply stunning, with so many beautiful areas both inside and outside. The views are absolutely beautiful and guests were very impressed with the venue in general. As the bride, I barely noticed the BMB team on the day - which was perfect! They had everything running so smoothly I never needed to look for someone, and all of my time was focussed on interacting with our guests rather than worrying about timelines or what was happening. They allowed us a good amount of time to set up and take down, and were brilliant at co-ordinating with suppliers. Overall - I wouldn't have had our wedding anywhere else.

Unforgettable Memories: Our Perfect Wedding Day at Bury Manor Barn

We celebrated our wedding at the wonderful Bury Manor Barn in March 2024, and we cannot express enough how delighted we were with our experience. From start to finish, the entire day was magical, and we owe a huge thanks to the incredible team at Bury Manor Barn. Firstly, the setting of Bury Manor Barn is simply stunning and is the main reason that we chose the venue. Nestled in the South Down, the setting and charm of the barn provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. The gardens and picturesque view made for amazing photo opportunities, capturing unforgettable moments that we will treasure forever. The staff were outstanding. They were not only professional but also genuinely warm and accommodating. Right from our initial enquiry through to the day of our wedding, they were always attentive and helpful, ensuring that every detail was taken care of. Special thanks to Julie, Gemma, and Sarah, who made sure everything ran smoothly. The facilities at Bury Manor Barn were perfect. We had our ceremony at St John the Evangelist Church which is a short walk to the covered terrace where we had our Drinks Reception. The barn itself is tastefully decorated, blending rustic charm with modern amenities. The variety of spaces available at Bury Manor Barn allows you to curate your day and offer options that suit the weather and time of year. We had a typical spring day with rain, hailstones, and sunshine! What truly sets Bury Manor Barn apart is the personal touch they bring to each event. They made us feel like our wedding was the only one they were focused on, accommodating our requests, and offering valuable suggestions along the way. They were flexible and understanding, making the entire planning process stress-free and enjoyable. The team worked seamlessly with our vendors to bring our vision to life. Our wedding day was everything we had planned for and more. We have received countless compliments from our guests on the venue and the overall experience. If you are looking for a beautiful, romantic, and well-managed venue for your special day, we cannot recommend Bury Manor Barn highly enough. It truly exceeded our expectations, and we are grateful to have had our wedding celebrations at such a beautiful venue. Thank you once again to everyone at Bury Manor Barn for making our wedding day unforgettable. We will cherish the memories made here for the rest of our lives and love that we can visit again with walks along the river and services at the church.

Just to many to mention. My most special days were the ones after lockdown... it was so wonderful to have families and friends come together. Makes me cry now thinking about it!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Move around flowers/lanterns/lights etc during the day so you get the best use of them... i.e. - ceremony table flowers move to top table, lanterns - move from ceremony room to the barn steps.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

Wellies full of flowers lining the aisle for the civil ceremony! This was for a groom who was a dairy farmer!
