Maidens Barn

This old Essex barn has been beautifully restored and modernised to provide the perfect venue for weddings.  Near Great Dunmow in Essex, it is twenty minutes from the M11 and Stansted Airport, so is within easy reach of London.  Set in peaceful countryside, there is a lovely secluded garden with soft lighting which is ideal for sitting outside on warm summer evenings.

The Barn can seat 200 people comfortably with space for dancing but it can also be personalised to make a more intimate setting for smaller groups.  With a reception hall, raised gallery, bar and a small marquee outside, it is perfect as a wedding reception venue and is also licensed for civil ceremonies.  The Barn and garden make a lovely backdrop for photographs.

Being a small family business Maidens Barn can offer you the flexibility to arrange the day to meet your individual requirements.  The aim is to make your wedding day arrangements as relaxed and as personal as possible.

      A big thank you for everything! Our wedding day was perfect (despite the rain) and you couldn't have been more helpful on the day or the long lead up to it! Maidens Barn is a beautiful, relaxed venue with fantastic staff.

      We wanted to say a huge thank you for all your help and hard work with our wedding reception at Maidens Barn which was absolutely perfect. We had such a wonderful day and we owe a lot of that to your attention to detail as the whole day went perfectly. We've since had so many fantastic comments on the venue and we could not have asked for more.

      We wanted to say a big thank you for making our day such a special one. It was really the most wonderful day for us both and we have special memories to last us a lifetime. We have received many lovely comments about the venue and are so pleased we chose Maidens Barn - especially as we were so lucky to get married outside - who would have thought it in October! Many thanks once again.

      I and my husband would love to thank you once again for making our daughter's wedding such a very special occasion. Everything went like clockwork, with smiles and caring from yourselves and your marvellous staff. Thanks to you and your recommendations on caterers, disco, etc., everyone had a fantastic time. It could not have been improved on by anything.

Everyone commented at such an intimate venue and we cannot express our thanks enough for you and your team helping to make our day and evening run so well".

      "Your venue is quite simply breathtaking and even though we had been there on three other occasions on the run up to the day it still had that magical ability to make you stop and admire when we arrived. The grounds are beautiful and the building is gorgeous and has an amazing character - it is both elegant and inspirational. So we wanted to let you know how pleased we were that we found Maidens Barn and met you and the rest of the staff at the venue. You really did manage to provide THE PERFECT VENUE and your ability to make our day run ultra smoothly and perfectly was very very much appreciated. Once again we thank you so much for making our day perfect and allowing us to use your wonderful venue"
