Smeetham Hall Barn

At Smeetham Hall you will find a 16th century barn that has been beautifully converted into the most stunning of venues for the most stunning of brides. Set in the rolling countryside of the Belchamps, South of Sudbury, our grounds are fronted with a willow bordered lake stocked with carp. We believe that your wedding day should be the most amazing day of your life and we want you to have everything as you think it should be. We are happy to supply a list of companies that will provide the catering. We also understand that you will probably want to supply your own wine and if so, we do not make a corkage charge. The barn also contains a large dance floor and both the barn and the marquee can be heated to ensure the temperature is perfect. For a summer or winter wedding, 40 or 150 guests, extravagant or relaxed, Smeetham Hall Barn will provide you with a day you will never forget.

      hi bridgette, just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your help on our big day and just wanted to let everyone know how fabulous this venue really is. As soon as we set eyes on the barn we knew it was exactly the venue for us, and after looking around many others nothing even came close. The character of the barn is stunning and went so well with our shabby chic theme. Everybody commented on the surroundings of the barn and we have some fabulous photos to show for this. Bridgette was an absolute star in the run up to the wedding and was quick to reply to my numerous emails. Our day couldn't have been more perfect. Thank you

      Thank you
      Our wedding day was booked for 17th July 2010.From the very beginning Lisa, the bride to be, had made her mind up that this was the venue to make her perfect day complete. After viewing the venue and meeting with Bridget, Lisa's mind had been set on having Smeetham Hall and neither of us needed to see another wedding venue. Set over such beautifully well kept grounds that sparkle against the lake's backdrop and coloured by the luscious greens of summers array of beautiful flowers and trees our fairy tale day had started with all the ingredients necessary to be nothing shorter than fabulous. Bridget sold herself equally with her charming warm enthusiasm and her zest to see that we did indeed have the perfect day. You can meet many a person during one's life, but you can normally only list a few that carry with them a sparkle that immediately warms you to them. Bridget, to us you were fantastic, your charisma guided our planning of the big day all the way through to the wondrous finale that was enjoyed by all.

      Dear Bridget, Following our wedding reception at Smeetham Hall Barn we wanted to take this opportunity to thank you so much for such a fabulous wedding venue. From the moment we first met until the day of our wedding you were always so friendly and helpful in answering all of our questions and in recommending suppliers to us. We had the most amazing wedding day. It was everything we dreamed it would be and more!

      Bridget, Can I thank you for not only the pleasure of using your venue but the pleasure we have had working with you - your friendliness, help, enthusiasm and support has been much appreciated by us all. I'm so glad Katy decided to choose Smeetham as her venue. We all had a very memorable and magical day and a great deal of joy was shared by us all.

      Thank you
      Dear Bridget, Well, it's hard to believe it's almost a year since our wonderful wedding at Smeetham Hall and also that we're only now sending you photos from our big day! Thank you so much for all your help both in the lead up to our wedding but also throughout the day itself. And, all your recommendations were spot on too! If only we could get married at Smeetham every year! We had snow here in London recently and it took us right back to the week of the wedding. It really was absolutely perfect and we are so grateful for all your help and support".

      Thank you.
      Dear Bridget and Anthony, We really don't know where to start! You really made our wedding day so perfect. Smeetham Hall was so much more than what we had ever imagined. You made everything flow so smoothly and we really enjoyed every minute of it - from the arrival to the service, our wedding breakfast and our reception and we really couldn't have wanted more. We are returning later this year as guests of our friends at their wedding and I can't wait! Once again, many thanks.
