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.

The perfect Sussex venue

From arranging our first viewing, to fantastic on-the-day support, Julie and the Bury Manor Barn team have been sensational. The venue itself is beautiful and yet very functional too, with all the space you need to have an amazing wedding day. We were particularly drawn to BMB due to St John’s church being practically on-site, as we wanted a church wedding but the options for civil ceremonies are equally stunning. So many of our guests commented on how great the venue was and it really made our day so special. Our on-the-day coordinator, Sarah, was excellent and went above and beyond to smooth out any minor hiccups or decisions that needed to be made when me and my husband couldn’t be there ourselves (e.g the location of our drink reception was weather dependent) We cannot thank the team enough for all their hard work and support, you made our wedding day the best day of our lives. 5 stars doesn’t seem high enough!

Fantastic, dreamy, perfect venue of our dreams

This was the 3rd (last but definitely not least) venue we viewed in person, from countless venues we researched online and we fell in love with it immediately! The outdoor views with the ampitheatre and overlooking the hills were absolutely stunning. There are 2 separate barns (Inner and Outer barn) which cohesively separated the dining space and the dancing space and the interiors are so pretty and rustic, not much decorations were needed! Julie was amazing, accommodating and very responsive throughout. Gemma and Sarah - the inhouse on the day wedding coordinators were also so great and lovely to us since first contact. Overall Bury Manor Barn was the wedding reception of our dreams and both myself and my husband truly enjoyed ourselves and basked in how beautiful this venue was.

By far the most picturesque barn I have worked in.

As a wedding photographer, I had the pleasure of capturing a wedding at this venue today, and I must say, it is by far the most picturesque barn I have ever worked in. With its charming nooks and stunning backdrop, it's a treasure trove for enchanting photographs. From the river, the barn and the adjacent school building resemble a magnificent castle. My experience here was thoroughly enjoyable, and the photos turned out stunning. I wholeheartedly recommend this venue to any couple seeking somet

BMB is an incredible place to get married!

We had our hearts set on an outdoor wedding but wanted a venue where the indoor option was still beautiful if it rained. It did rain, and it was still perfect as the indoor spaces are equally amazing. The team at Bury Manor Barn were also incredible, nothing was too much trouble and they helped make our day run so smoothly! All our guests commented on how lovely the venue was too and we would highly recommend it!

Beautiful venue in a dream setting! Rianna & Andrew 3rd August 2024

We couldn't be happier choosing Bury Manor Barn for our wedding venue. As soon as we had looked around, and walked outside to see 'that' view we knew it was perfect. The venue is stunning, and the Tudor Barn gives so much charm in its surroundings. The backdrop and views outside are the best settings for photos and we were so pleased the weather was on our side so the guests could enjoy it. Our guests could not stop commenting on how beautiful it was! From the beginning Julie and the team were amazing with communicating with us and ensuring we had all the information and support we needed in the planning process and made it so stress free. Gemma and Sarah were our day and evening coordinators and thank goodness they were as the day would not have been as amazing without them. They managed everything, and we didn't need to worry about a thing! Any issues were resolved without us even being aware and they were just worth their weight in gold. We highly recommend Bury Manor Barn, for anyone looking for a beautiful barn venue in a stunning countryside setting with a fantastic team!

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! 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. 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!

Describe the best wedding that happened at Bury Manor Barn?

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!
