Southend Barns Wedding Venue

I had a wedding booked, paid for a high season Saturday, and due to covid restrictions they were unable to continue with a wedding the size we had already paid for. Instead of swapping for one of the many Saturdays available the year after(according to the website and various friends who “enquired anonymously “, the venue said they could only accommodate off peak days Monday -Thursday and They were generally very difficult about most details before this. Venue noisy with traffic in outdoors ceremony too. Generally though, if they changed management and events team it’s a pretty venue

We had a great wedding and the staff at the Barns were really terrific. Very professional throughout however special credit should go to Emily whose calm organisation and authority on the day was just what was needed. All brilliant and you even organised the weather.

We really had the most incredible day at your lovely venue. A lot of people commented in the lead up about how calm we both were and I think it’s because your lovely staff, they were so helpful with all the pre planning. We had such amazing comments about the food and how delicious it was. Roots really did provide the best wedding food we have ever had compared to before at our other friends weddings etc. It was such a lovely touch to get back to the bridal suite to find some cake and pizza

We had such a phenomenal day, thank you. Everyone at Southend Barns & Roots Catering was so lovely, nothing was too much trouble, and everything was seamless. Our guests loved the venue, and enjoyed the day.

Massive thank you to the whole team for helping to make our wedding the best day we could have wished for. The venue was incredibly stunning, the food was insanely good and the staff were super attentive! All of our guests and us two were so impressed and happy! We would highly recommend you to everyone looking for a wedding venue!!

We cannot thank the venue and team enough for making our day so amazing! We honestly had the best day and are forever grateful we chose Southend Barns. From picking the venue last year, we were completely looked after and it made the whole wedding planning process so smooth and stress free. The wedding day itself was perfect and all our guests commented on how lovely the venue, food and service was. We could not have wished for a better day. Thank you again!

We had our wedding day at the end of August and had the best day! Every single person we had contact with throughout the whole process was kind, helpful and approachable - nothing was ever too much trouble. The venue is amazing and my guests haven't stopped talking about the food. If you're thinking of getting married here, don't hesitate. I want to do it all over again!

The three things we loved about our wedding venue was: 1. The layout - it’s such a beautiful set up and allows your guests to all be where they feel most comfortable (at the bar, on the dance floor or getting some fresh air) but without being too spread out. 2. The staff- they were sooo helpful from day 1 all the way to cleaning up at the end of the night. I never felt they were too busy to answer a question or support on the day. 3. The food - having a family that loves good quality food this was important to us. Roots created an incredible menu and topped it off with what everyone said was the best pizza they had at the end of the night. A massive thank you to Southend Barns!

Southend Barns, To the DREAM TEAM! What can we both say other than a massive THANK YOU! You have all made this day more than we could have dreamed that it would be. Organising a wedding from Dubai was not easy, however you were all there & so supportive whenever we needed you. The venue & your team have made this day so very special! Thank you again for everything, Laura & Lizzy xxx

The the team at Southend, Where to start!! There is a lifetime of build up to a wedding, people dream about that day so for us to be able to say that it was more than we could have imagined is a huge thing. Every detail was looked after, nothing was too much and you made us feel like the most special people in the world! The day was seamless, from arriving & having a bottle of champagne ready for the groom, to how safe you made me feel before I took my first steps down the aisle. The food was breathtaking, we both wish we weren't so nervous so we could have eaten more. The beef and pavlova were the stars of the show. You have given us the most incredible memories that we will keep for a life time, we can't thank you enough! Can we come and do it all again?? All our love, Jess & Nathan.
