We can’t say enough about the amazing team at Southend Barns! Planning our wedding from Australia was a breeze, thanks to their support. They truly go above and beyond to create the wedding of your dreams and are incredibly accommodating with last-minute changes. The team manages everything seamlessly, allowing you to fully enjoy the day and cherish those special moments. The Roots catering team exceeded our expectations—the wedding breakfast was so delicious that we’re still receiving compliments a month later! We couldn’t have picked a better venue, and we’re especially grateful for the option to move the ceremony indoors at the last minute. Thank you for making our dream day a reality! -

Wow, wow and wow! Where do we begin to even put into words how incredible Southend Barns were for our wedding!
If you are looking for a gorgeous wedding venue in the South that has it all, you’ve just found it because these guys are at the absolute top of the game and are the best of the best, we are SO pleased we found Southend Barns and chose them to host our wedding day in October 2024.
Southend Barns is such a stunning venue, and so much care goes in to every single inch of the venue, from the gorgeous barns, the outdoor space, the courtyard full of roses and the bridal suite to the grounds, its all kept to such a high standard. From the moment we stepped in to view the venue we fell in love, it has such a calming feel, everything was clean and high quality and this stayed consistent through every visit. We enjoyed the love at first sight open evening, a lovely tasting evening which felt like we were at a wedding and loved visiting for the wedding fair where we found some of our suppliers and our planning meeting! We were looked after throughout out planning by the lovely Sophie who made us feel instantly welcome, at ease and she had it all under control, from start to finish Sophie was so lovely and we are so grateful for all her help in the run up to our wedding.
On the day our event manager was Kelly, who was our angel and is SO good at her job and ensured the day ran seamlessly without us needing to do a thing, after months of preparation and crafting this was so appreciated as it meant we could sit back and enjoy the day to its fullest! After meeting Kelly the day before at our handover meeting, we both instantly felt in safe hands and nothing was too much trouble for her - even some of our more quirky ideas. She was incredible and we are so grateful for everything she did for us.
All of the team on the day from the bar staff, waiting staff, Roots chefs and cleaners all made sure our guests and us were well fed and watered and all our guests commented on how incredible the food was. The Roots team are total artists when it comes to food and every single bite was delightful, from the delicious canapes (that our lovely lady - with the lovely eyeliner flicks made sure we got to enjoy), to the incredible homemade focaccia and butter, delicious 3 course dinner (the sticky toffee pudding was STUNNING!) and our amazing smores station and evening bacon baps and chips. If you opened up a roots restaurant, we’d be first in the queue to visit!!
We are so grateful to Kelly, Sophie and the whole team at Southend Barns for making our dreams come true and helping us to have the day of our lives - not only just for us but for all our friends and family too. It was so special in every way and the amount of detail that goes into the behind the scenes of the venue is second to none, everyone who is part of this venue should be so proud to play such a part in such a milestone moment in couples lives, we are so thankful and so pleased we chose Southend Barns for our day. -

Where do we start … Southend Barns you are incredible!
From the moment we first visited the venue two and half years ago to now as Mr and Mrs Hewitt we only have positive things to say. I mean, how rare is that!
Anyone looking at wedding venues please make sure you add Southend barns to your shortlist. You will not be disappointed!
We instantly fell in love with the venue, the team and of course the food❤️! Everything was taken care of by the team on the day meaning we could relax and enjoy every moment. Nothing was too much trouble and we really felt that each and every person we met during the planning process and on the day wanted to do their best for us! Toby and Olivia we cannot thank you enough for all your support on the day.
We are already desperate to come back … We must plan a vow renewal 😂. -

When planning our wedding, Southend Barns was the first venue we viewed. The following venues we found simply didn’t compare and so we ended up booking, mostly because of the stunning and picturesque grounds and decoration. The other reason we loved Southend Barns is because it only has the option of using their in house caterer - Roots. Choosing a caterer would have been difficult and time consuming so this was perfect for us. And the food was incredible!
Every detail is thought of, the team at Southend Barns clearly know what they’re doing and have so much experience you feel like you don’t even need a wedding planner to help guide you. We certainly didn’t have one! With the support from Southend Barns team we had a seamless and perfect day, we couldn’t be more grateful.
