Great venue, great views, incredible freedom

Loved Suffolk Barn, we had a dry hire with the freedom to customise our day, from street food and garden games to bespoke lighting. We wanted a relaxed day, that felt like a festival as opposed to a formal day. Would highly recommend the location and the team managing our day!

Best day of our lives

My husband and I wanted a super chilled out venue where we could do everything we wanted our way and the Suffolk Barn was perfect for that! In the build up to the big day both Georgie and Rupert were super helpful, they checked in on the set-up the day before and made us feel at ease. Rupert’s son helped to make the day seamless and knew what was needed and when - he was even super supportive when a couple of guests had taxi issues in the evening and couldn’t get off site. I couldn’t imagine having our day anywhere else!

A fantastic experience!

This venue was absolutely perfect!! As soon as we saw it- we knew it was the one. The outside space is gorgeous and the inside is just as incredible. We loved that we could put all our own touches on the day. We cannot thank Georgie enough- she helped us with advice, visits before the wedding day and was an incredible asset to the day ( especially keeping me calm before I walked down the aisle!) Our guests loved the venue and we cannot recommend it enough. Thank you to the incredible Suffolk barn team!

Beautiful wedding venue

We held our wedding at Suffolk Barn in September 2021 and were so happy with everything. We loved that you're free to put your own stamp on the day. We did a dry hire and brought in our own suppliers. Rupert, the owner, is really friendly and relaxed, he had very helpful advice when we needed it and also gave a lot of freedom with how we could use the space. Everything was really easy and low-stress. The venue is beautiful, with so much history, plus well equipped with good lighting, great sound

The Perfect Wedding Venue!

Beautiful place to have a wedding! Admittedly the bride and groom did a significant amount to dress the venue and the glorious sunshine helped but it is a lovely rustic barn that has been sympathetically restored. It’s laid out in an L shape to allow for ceremony, dinner and dancing all in one place. Perfect size for a 80-100 person event and surrounded by green fields and countryside.
