Barn & Farm Wedding Venues in South East - England

OMG, this venue is really special, because of its quiet location, wonderful setting, it was an excellent day. Driving into the venue was special and when you walk into the Barn. It will take your breath away, Thestaff were very attentive to our requirements and I thought the sandals set out for tired feet were a winner. I do know there were blankets provided but not needed. I would certainly look forward to attending any event here. Lots of photos were taken in the garden, under a flower arch, which was set up, with seating around the garden also, which was great for mingling prior to the wedding breakfast, which was amazing. Thank you x

Going into our wedding, my now wife and I had some idea of what we wanted for our wedding day, a venue away from the hustle and bustle of civilisation, a rustic but well equipped barn, picturesque surroundings for as far as the eye could see. We thought we were being too picky, and that such a venue only existed in our imaginations. That was until my wife stumbled across Home Farm Stables. From the pictures we were excited, and so we quickly asked to meet the owners to take a look around. Lucy and Barry met us in the court yard of their wedding venue. It had been easy to find, and we were impressed by how close to Uckfield it was for our guests to find transport, but somehow felt like it was a hundred miles to the nearest person. We greeted them, and immediately knew this place was special. They were warm and welcoming, but interested and excited in what we had planned. As we started walking around, a cynical man could think this was all part of a sales pitch, but as you will read below, this was far from the case. The venue itself is stunning, the barn is rich with character, set in front of bright fields which blur into lush forrest. The facilities are excellent, more than ample for any decently sized wedding, and everything is nicely accessible those less able. As you leave the barn, and enter the fields beyond, your view is dominated by a wise oak that almost seems too perfectly shaped to be real. Lucy and Barry suggested we should have our ceremony beneath the enormous canopy of the tree. We were thrilled. Throughout the planning of the wedding, Lucy and Barry maintained a level of enthusiasm that kept us excited for our wedding, rather than anxious over the details. They kept up the that initial energy that had drawn us in on the first meeting, contributing a plethora of ideas and suggestions which we adopted for our day, and it wouldn't have been the same without them. Wandering back up the field, we passed along side the pig sty and cottage that come with the venue. Again, everything is wonderfully equipped, and beautifully furnished. In front of the pond, near the cottage, there sat a repurposed horse carriage, Barry suggested we could have cocktails from it after the food, and we did. They were excellent. We also decided to have Glamping tents set up in the field, which Lucy and Barry helped organise. This was completely painless too, with our guests turning up to drop off their belongings straight into ready prepared bell tents. Our wedding day was flawless. It was, and always will be, a day we will remember for the rest of our lives. This was in no small part due to the perfect venue, and the perfect hosts. This venue is a MUST SEE! It is the perfect place to celebrate, and enjoy the best days of your lives.

We had our wedding at The Tithe Barn in August 2024 and it’s a stunning venue, run by a fantastic, helpful team. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others - we were so pleased with how our day went!

We loved having our wedding reception at The Cartlodge last year. The staff were so helpful and communicated well. We had so many compliments on how lovely the venue was and we got some lovely professional photos from around the grounds too. 100% would recommend to others and we will host other events there when we need to!

From the moment we stepped foot in Farbridge, we knew it was the one. After visiting many local venues, there was something different and subtlety special about Farbridge. From its beautiful setting within the Southdown’s, to the gorgeous barn itself, it was simply our perfect wedding venue. All the staff have the finest attention to detail throughout the whole process, we had the pleasure of dealing with Ellie and Eleanor during the planning stages and we were definitely in safe hands. Having never been to a wedding as adults we were very green going into the process and barley knew where to start. Ellie and Eleanor guided us through the process and held our hand when ever we needed it, with attentive replies to messages and all the venue visits we needed. Something we loved in particular was the tasting evening hosted by the Farbridge staff, the barns were set and dressed as they would be on a wedding day. The execution of the whole evening gave us the ultimate confidence in all the staff and especially the chefs in the kitchen, as the food was simply incredible. It was also a great time to meet other couples who had chosen Farbridge and get some ideas from them for the big day. Nothing felt set in stone and the staff couldn’t have done enough to make sure the day was exactly as we wanted it and had to be done their way which we felt at some other venues. The menu was completely bespoke to us, timings throughout the day were flexible and the décor could all be changed to just as we wanted. Our actual wedding day was nothing but perfect. Ellie and the team saw our vision and created it, removing all of the stress from our big day. She dealt with a last minute change to our guest list as if it was nothing, as well as organising all of the suppliers on the day. We were absolutely speechless when we first saw what they done with the barns and the seamless transitions throughout the day just ran perfectly smoothly, we can’t thank them enough. We also have to give a special shout to Julie for making sure we felt no stress before the guests arrived on the day, she made sure the boys were all dressed on time and had the buttonholes ready and that the bridal party had everything they needed whilst getting ready. We truly believe that our calm and little to no stress approach to the wedding day is largely down the team at Farbridge and the confidence we had in them to deliver the perfect day. We have had so many amazing and heartfelt comments from guests about how amazing and beautiful the day was, so thank you to Farbridge for making our day and whole experience everything we could have dreamed off and more.

What an amazing venue! From our first visit to Cogges Manor Farm to our communication with Janette, to our actual wedding day everything was just perfect!! Cogges offered two fantastic rustic barns which we were able to add our own personalities too. This on top of the beautiful lawn and gardens which offer the ideal place for a drinks reception, especially when the Wisteria has a second blooming. Our family and friends all commented on the relaxed, welcoming setting which Cogges has and how it offered something for everyone. The goats also proved a huge hit with the guests and had everyone smiling, though you may want to double check none have gone missing!! Finally a big shout out to all the staff and volunteers at Cogges and in particular Janette who was an amazing sounding board who listened to all of our ideas, always responded quickly and her relaxed demeanour definitely saved us a lot of stress.

Despite a small team they work very hard to make your day special. They've been excellent at personalizing and helping us plan out our day. Perhaps we are a little biased but would 100% recommend.

The most stunning venue. We had so many compliments about how stunning the place is. The owners are so friendly and allow you to celebrate how you want. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Booked the Yoghurt rooms for our wedding this summer. The venue were extremely accommodating to our wants and needs. The beautiful barn, stretch tent, vinyard, camp ground and bandstand provided the basis for a beautiful wedding but also enabled us to dress it up and make it our own. Of course we couldn't have done this without the help of Laura and co. who work at the farm and helped bring it all together. Can't recommend enough if you want a venue designed around your tastes in a beautiful setting.

Words can’t really describe the feeling that takes over when you walk into LimeKiln. Despite seeing this first as a part construction site, we always knew this is where we would get married. The team at LimeKiln were professional and kept to all our agreed timelines for having the venue ready on time, the surrounding greenery and florals were alive and ready for our wedding and the venue was simply perfection. No detail missed. The venue staff were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the entire process and we cannot thank you enough for making our journey to marriage, despite the extremely tight timelines, an easy and enjoyable one. Carline, Sarah, Hannah and Isla, along with the rest of the team, you are superb. Thank you for everything.
