Description
Description
The Cherry Barn is within the most beautiful and perfect location (we’re a 400 acre farm, by Rye and very close to the beach), but instead of having to organise a tipi/marquee, generators, portaloos and kitchen, you have a stunning 17th century barn that has been completely restored with all the amenities. The Cherry Barn is also in an area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB). The setting is incredible overlooking apple orchards, some cherry trees and rolling hills all the way to the North Downs, Rye an Udimore; 360 degree views!
The Cherry Barn is already a beautiful space, but where couples will be able to make it their own, tailor made to their own personal style and hold the wedding party of their dreams!

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs
Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
It's really hard to choose, as all weddings have been completely different, unique and special in their own way.
We do have some amazing highlights; the chef's friends who did all the catering; the grooms best friends who decided to do an amazing improvised rap; the incredible soul singers; the secret waiters; the radio dj who created the rave shed and each of her dj friends did a set...
We also fell in love with two opposite weddings; a 30 people, full 48-hour, glamping, bbq in the field and taster wedding breakfast! And a 200 people party where there was live music all around!!! They were all great celebrations!! We do have the best parties!!
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
My main tip is for the wedding day! Make sure you have fun on your wedding. The best weddings are the ones where the couple is having fun. You are the thermometer of the party, be selfish, have fun, it's your day!
Another tip for the day is make sure you savour the day, otherwise it goes too fast. Every hour or so, take a couple of minutes together, take it in, and go back. This will prolong the day.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
That's it! A personal touch! Make it your own. It's your wedding. It's about you:-)
We've had the rave shed (Radio DJ was the bride); Kayleighs (Scottish groom), West End performances (bride again), Vietnamese evening food, space hoppers, bumper cars, Glastonbury and so on.
Describe your venue in 5 adjectives.
Stunning, Nature, Happy, blank canvas (make it your own!), Best Parties Ever!!!!
Where’s the best photo spot at your venue?
There are too many spots!! We're in a 400 acre farm! The orchards are beautiful; the bridge is super romantic; the overgrown meadow is striking; the views are incredible. Photographers seem to love our farm shed and stacked apple bins! We would always suggest to come for a lovely walk with your photographer before your wedding day.
Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at your venue?
Yes! From a few different industries (TV and music). We also have a Beatles member living ‘beside’ us.
What’s your favourite canapé?
Really?! One favourite?? That’s impossible!!
What’s your favourite midnight treat?
Same as above!! Best ones have been sourdough pizzas, toasties and chips, crepes, pimp your mac n cheese, tacos, burritos, vietnamese street food... you can't really go wrong! Make sure it is visible though, that's why food trucks are great!!!!
What is your venue's most unique feature?
We love our bathrooms! The boys have a stylised keg for a urinal. I also love our blind wall made out of the silver birch trees from our woodland. I mustn't forget the fire pit made with a vintage tractor wheel. But I guess the fact that it's a bright barn (lot's of natural light) and that there's no turnaround needed.
What part of your business are you most proud of?
Our couples!!!! We have the best couples!!!
