    The most perfect day!

    We just had our wedding at Cissbury Barns on Saturday and it was absolutely perfect, truly the best day of our lives. Cissbury is the most beautiful venue and everyone that works there is so helpful and kind. Michelle ran our day so smoothly and, even before the day, we met her and Helen and Christina several times at open Sundays and they were all so helpful and lovely. We never felt like we couldn't ask a question. I wish we could go back in time and do it all again. The most perfect wedding venue we could ever ask for!

    Cissbury Barns's reply:

    Thank you Elaine and Daniel for your lovely review. What a fantastic day you had, you were both so relaxed and fun to be around it was a pleasure to run your day.
    We all wish you a long and happy marriage from the Cissbury Team

    We just wanted to leave a positive review to say the BIGGEST thank you for making our day so incredibly special. Michelle & the whole team at Cissbury were just amazing at our wedding on August 29th. I felt so reassured going into the day, that I was just totally calm & relaxed knowing everything was under control. We have felt listened to, but carefully guided since we booked with you over two years ago. We just feel everyone went above and beyond, so thank you.

    We also loved our stay at The North Wing. Having that time with my bridesmaids the evening before was so special & it just was the perfect space to get ready. And of course, that very short journey back to the wing after the wedding together was perfect. It was so lovely that it has been tidied up as well before our arrival back after the wedding.

    And of course, the venue is absolutely stunning. You made our vision come to life!

    Not to mention the endless beautiful locations for photos & flexibility for catering, meaning you really can mould the day into your own.

    We couldn’t recommend Cissbury enough!
    Thanks all,
    Josh & Laura Newton

    We all wish you a long and happy marriage.

    We had the best day EVER!

    We just got married at Cissbury Barns and what can we say – we had the most incredible day! Despite the rainy, windy weather, everything ran like clockwork – both us and our guests were so well looked after, and the day could not have been coordinated more smoothly!

    From the moment we chose Cissbury as our venue, we couldn’t have asked for more. Helen was an incredible help right from the outset, offering us lots of guidance and advice, putting our minds at rest when we asked (many..!) questions, and reassured us when we wanted to blend some Assyrian traditions with a very English wedding!! Helen handed over the reins to Zoe in the evening who was an absolute delight – so lovely and helpful, and coordinated our Assyrian dancing entrance which is no mean feat!

    The setting and the barns are absolutely beautiful – but the real stars are the whole team that work behind the scenes to make your wedding day the best EVER! From moving all our décor around between ceremony and dinner to make the most of our flowers, to laying out all our centrepieces, to checking in on us to ensure we didn’t want for anything, to carefully packing up ALL of our bits the next day for an easy-peasy collection – everything was just perfect, and we want to say a huge thank you to everyone at Cissbury!

    A special mention to the North Wing Apartment which is located on site by Cissbury House – this is such a stunning place to get ready in with your bridesmaids and spend your first night as a married couple! We would highly recommend booking this if you’re getting married at Cissbury, just knowing you’re only a 5 minute drive away from your wedding venue takes the pressure off, and Geoffrey and the team at the barns communicated really well with us and each other! Thanks again 😊

    A truly magical day

    I didn’t want to do our review out of superstition. We got married a year ago on the 18th August 2023.

    The staff are fantastic and the venue is beautiful. Our host Michelle did everything possible for us. A credit to the business. She is kind attentive and truly went above and beyond to make our day special.

    The venue truly offers everything and it’s in a lovely private location.

    Jodi says still a year on says she wishes she could do it all over again.

    Thank you so much

    Cissbury Barns's reply:

    Dear Ronnie and Jodi,
    Thank you for your lovely comments. What a great day you had, I can't believe it was a year ago. I have no doubt your enjoying married life and we all wish you well for the future.
    All the best
    Michelle

    Wedding at Cissbury Barns

    We got married at Cissbury Barns in August 24. The venue is absolutely stunning and the staff are incredible. It was the most amazing day and I can’t thank the team at Cissbury enough for everything they did to make our wedding run so smoothly. They really took care of everything.

    The perfect wedding venue

    We just had the most amazing wedding at Cissbury Barns. From day one Helen, Michelle and Christina have been nothing but welcoming and helpful. On the actual day Helen coordinated it perfectly, listening to everything we had asked for and checking in regularly to make sure we were happy with how everything was going. In the evening Helen passed over to Zoe who was equally as helpful. The barns themselves and the surrounding areas are absolutely stunning, we had so many compliments about the venue with the guests commenting that they could see why we had fallen in love with it. I’f you are considering getting married here we can’t recommend it highly enough, you won’t be disappointed.

    Truly a dream wedding!

    We had the most wonderful wedding at Cissbury, the day we dreamed of. Everything was seamless and it made the day so relaxing for us, as absolutely everything ran smoothly and we were so well taken care of. All of the worries we had beforehand about ‘will this go well?’, ‘where do we go?’ Etc were needless as the team thinks of everything. Even meeting the team before I walked down the aisle I was given a glass of water and told when to enter - something I’d never have thought to arrange or ask for but just happened! I can’t thank the team at Cissbury enough for making our day so beautiful.

    Cissbury Barns's reply:

    Thank you for your lovely words. What a wonderful day, you looked gorgeous in your dress Zoe and I loved all your little touches. I particularly loved your table set up with all the beautiful flowers and the favour herbs in vintage cups. We would love you to share some photos.

    We wish you a long and happy marriage and all the best from Michelle and the Team at Cissbury

    Unforgettable start to finish

    After many months of looking at venues online, I narrowed it down to several options. Cissbury was the first venue I went to visit, and after meeting Helen, I had pretty much made up my mind that this was the venue for us.

    Cissbury is a unique and amazing venue , there’s two barns, there’s flexibility in catering options, no corkage, stunning countryside views, did I mention TWO BARNS?! Cissbury ticks every single box and the backdrop of the South Downs is beautiful.

    But I must give a special mention to Helen, possibly the world’s greatest event coordinator. Not only did Helen kept our day running smoothly, Helen was there for all my annoying questions in the 18 months up to the wedding. Helen is such a joy to talk to, her positivity really kept me going when faced with any problems in the planning stages, I honestly don’t know how I would have done it all without her. I should also mention the other ladies in the team, Michelle and Christina, were also fantastic in the times I spoke to them. The team here really is unlike any other venue, and having them on your side is what makes Cissbury such a special place. They are all so lovely, but also very knowledgeable, and are always on hand to offer sound advice and give their honest opinions.

    Our day was perfect, start to finish. We had non-stop compliments on the venue, everyone loved it. Choosing Cissbury was the best decision we made for our wedding, it was such an incredible day. Thank you Cissbury team for everything, it really was the best day of our lives.

    Also a quick mention to Geoffrey and Etta, the owners, and for our lovely stay at the North Wing apartment. We would highly recommend booking this beautiful apartment if you are getting married at Cissbury!

    Beautiful Venue

    We are delighted that we chose Cissbury Barns for our wedding venue and are still on cloud 9 from the day! All the staff made our day so incredibly special, it went off without a hitch and everybody said how the day flowed so smoothly. The team adapted our day to the rainy July weather and we didn’t even notice the rain because of their professionalism and organisation. We can’t thank Cissbury and the whole team enough, in particular Michelle & Zoe, for your exceptionally hard work and can’t recommend this venue more highly for future wedding couples. Thank you Cissbury Barns!

    Cissbury Barns's reply:

    Dear Phoebe and Jake,
    What a great day, you all looked to be having so much fun and certainly didn't let the wet weather dampen your spirits. Your photos were fantastic so I can't help but share some more!
    We all wish you a long and happy marriage together.
    All the best from Michelle and the Team at Cissbury
