The Little Green wedding barn Full Description
The Little Green Wedding Barn isn't just 'another wedding venue' and was crowned Best Barn Venue in the East of England in the 2022 Wedding Industry Awards. The Wedding Barn is a traditional Suffolk Barn from the 17th Century which is Grade II Listed. It’s an impressive structure that offers a perfect blend of rustic charm alongside contemporary elegance. We know just how much there is to think about when planning a wedding, which is why we keep things simple by offering a straightforward pricing structure. We offer exclusive use of the entire venue, which consists of: The Granary, The Great Barn, The Courtyard, the Modern Glazed Extension and all their amenities. Once you book with us, we ensure that you enjoy every aspect of your wedding here at The Little Green Wedding Barn - from the planning and preparations, to setting up on the day before, to the Wedding Day itself, of course! We make a point of offering personal and professional assistance in the build-up to your wedding - just call or email us with your questions and we’ll get back to you with useful tips and guidance to help you on your way! When your Big Day finally arrives, you have the day before to set up and make the venue your own, so there's no rush or no stress! On the day, Paul will be onsite to ensure everything runs smoothly. This includes liaising with your suppliers, welcoming guests and looking after the couple, so you don't have anything to worry about. Wedding Ceremonies are held in The Granary (90 seated) – a very special intimate building and the perfect place to say ‘I Do’. Alternatively larger numbers can be accommodated in The Great Barn or out on the lawn for an open air ceremony (up to 150 guests) In 2024 our brand new fully air conditioned bridal suite will be available for up to 12 people, which consists of six double bedrooms with open plan living space with countryside views.

Jephs (Steph & Jake) Wedding

We originally didn't think we'd find a wedding venue we would like in the UK, until we came across The Little Green Wedding Barn. We found it very personable, not too over the top but absolutely stunning with an old and new feel to it. We didn't quite know what we were looking for until we came to this venue. Paul topped it off with his welcoming and accommodating service - talked to us what is exactly included and what is possible to add on. He was not pushy at all which again made us feel more comfortable. We are proper foodies and when Paul said that they also run a restaurant we could see his food was right up our street - top quality, fine dining with a twist of different infusions. The venue has both indoor/ outdoor ceremony options, we originally wanted to get married outside by the willow tree as this in itself is a beautiful backdrop. However the weather conditions were a bit iffy - we ended up getting married indoors, all the guests said how stunning it was and we didn't regret our decision. Paul and Rosie were very communicative throughout the planning a year prior, we were able to visit as many times as we'd like, the tasting was delicious and adapted to what we liked. The guests complemented how great quality the food was and they wouldn't expect anything less from us as well as being very beautifully presented, the canapes were also delightful- everyone was well fed. We chose to provide drinks for our guests which is optional of how much you'd like to provide or not at all. The venue is stunning itself and doesn't necessarily need much decoration which is another reason we picked it. The team themselves on the day were very professional and personable. They were very attentive topping up drinks, efficient bringing out the food and making sure everyone was having a great time. We can't thank you enough for making our day as special as it was - a massive thank you to the little green wedding barn team and we will be back again! Possibly for a new years event as it will always hold a special place in our hearts xx

Perfect venue for a perfect day

Rosie and Paul were absolutely amazing throughout the whole planning process. Always at the end of an email for any questions and great for recommendations for other suppliers. They made the whole process so easy. The food was perfect and got so many compliments from guests! The staff on the day helped the day run smoothly and were all so lovely. It was amazing to be the first people to be able to stay in the bridal suite, the perfect addition to their already amazing venue.

Beautiful, fresh, modern venue

So much to love about this venue! The rates were the most reasonable, we liked that it was all in one place and worked for everyone and every weather. Communication between us and the venue was always quick and easy. We attended the venue several times and the owners were always so flexible and made us feel very comfortable. The food was excellent! Would 100% recommend! Best venue in Suffolk!

Perfect in every way

The little green wedding barn was perfect in every way & we couldn’t have asked for more for our special day. Paul & his team were amazing from start to finish and helped us to make our wedding a memorable one. The catering is all done by the in house team & we got so many compliments on it, people are still talking about it to us now over a year later. The venue itself is the perfect blend of modern and traditional with beautifully manicured gardens, we looked around several venues before visiting the wedding barn but it was love at first sight & we knew it was the one for us. The only negative is that we can’t do it again!

Long awaited wedding!

We had the best time at our long awaited wedding day and couldn’t recommend it enough! The venue was beautiful and was everything we had hoped for and we have had so many comments about how amazing the food was! Nothing was too much trouble, from fussy eaters to providing spare batteries when a camera wouldn’t work! We wish we could do it all over again and it was definitely worth the wait!

Absolutely stunning!!!

Was a guest at a wedding here and it was like a fairytale! There were fairy lights, swings hanging from the tree, a rustic barn where the ceremony took place, and incredible food and staff. This is where I would like to get married one day. Didn't get great pics of the actual venue, but these should give you all the fairytale vibes !

We got married here 22.07.2023. Paul and the team made the day run SO smoothly. Excellent food, nothing was too much trouble, good prices on the drinks of which we had many! While the people who come to your wedding equally make the day, we wouldn’t have wanted it anywhere else. If you’re considering this venue it gets a massive thumbs up from us! Thanks again!
