    Beautiful venue, but I feel we were short-changed

    We booked Hanbury just before they were taken over (if we had known we would have chosen a different location), we were promised a load of things like being able to setup the day before etc etc when we booked and when the new owners took over that was no longer the case which caused alot of panic for us.

    While the team handled alot of the questions and queries, there was a lack of communication between the team as I ended up repeating myself many times over and fighting the same fires throughout the process.

    On the day, while things were setup on time things were missed or not done correctly in line with the notes that I had left such as napkins on the table, signage etc. It's one of those things but could have been avoided if we could have setup the day before - especially as there wasn't a wedding. It ended up being a busy and stressful morning for me and my wedding party trying to get everything done ahead of trying to get ready.

    I feel that the venue doesn't cater for DIY weddings so just be warned if this is something you did want to do, as this may not be the venue for you.

    The pods were great and clean, but one of the staff was rude to my family when checking in which caused unnecessary stress for them.

    On the whole, lovely venue, but improvements for DIY brides need to be considered, the team had the lists of everything that was coming to venue and how I wanted it setting up, if me and my bridal party didn't setup what we did, it wouldn't have been done in time. Apparently the tables weren't set-up in time when the ceremony finished either. Especially if there isn't a wedding the day before, you should be allowed to setup as much as you want or need to. As it was so stressful when it didn't need to be!!

    Hanbury wedding barns

    I couldn't recommend hanbury barns enough, from the moment we looked around right up to our special day was just amazing.

    We were able to personalise our day with everything we wanted which was just amazing

    The day was chilled, fun, eventful and everyone of our guests had the best time.

    We made memories that will last a lifetime

    Great service, very friendly and helpful

    Thank you to everyone in the Hanbury team. You were all so helpful both during the planning stages and on both of our wedding days! Thank you for being flexible with our requests, for creating a relaxed environment for us to enjoy our big day. We appreciate all your support and hard work!

    Disappointed

    We were so excited to find Hanbury Barn to celebrate our Wedding day, it offered an amazing and magical feel. We were due to get married in the November but sadly in the January received some devastating news and was diagnosed with cancer and uncertain to what the future held with made a difficult decision to cancel our wedding.
    Due to the exceptional circumstances we asked Hanbury if we could be refunded our deposit, all other providers had acknowledged our circumstances and had fully refunded.
    Hanbury Barn were quite the opposite and showed little compassion or understanding of our position and their handling of it was very cold and matter of fact and so disappointed with their response and support it would not be a place we feel we could chose when that time is right again
    :(

    Beautiful Venue

    We got married at Hanbury a couple of weeks ago and we had the most perfect day. Sarah made sure our day ran so smoothly and we can't thank her enough. The venue itself is so beautiful and we really felt looked after. We thought it was such good value for money, especially compared to other wedding venues of a similar style, however we did book it nearly 2 years ago now.

    Hanbury Barns Wedding Venue's reply:

    Hi Elisabeth, It is so lovely to hear from you. Thank you so much for your kind words and thank you for letting us celebrate your big day with you. We wish you all the best and don't forget to send us some photos!

    Brilliant venue

    Hanbury was on our list from the very start when we wanted a barn style wedding venue. The venue was perfectly situated and was wheelchair accessible- a must with four wheelchair users attending our wedding! In addition, dog friendly so our four legged family member could also attend! From the very start we were made to feel welcomed by Hanbury- our wedding coordinator Sarah was fantastic! We had nothing but compliments from our guests and I would recommend the venue to anyone getting married- even if I feel a little protective over it! It’s our wedding venue!
