Notley Abbey was the very first and only wedding venue we visited – and we fell in love with it instantly. The charm of the historic buildings, the stunning countryside setting, and the beautifully maintained grounds completely blew us away. It was everything we had dreamed of and more. We had always envisioned an outdoor wedding, and the walled garden area brought this dream to life. The setting is magical, surrounded by vibrant flowers and lush greenery – it felt like something out of a fairytale. One of the other biggest advantages for us was having on-site accommodation with a bridal suite and rooms for immediate family. It meant we and the rest of our guests with small children could put our children to bed for the night and still enjoy the rest of the celebration without worrying. The exclusivity of having the entire venue to ourselves for 24 hours made the whole experience feel even more special and intimate. Then onto the Planning, this was done via an online planner – a really helpful tool that streamlined the process. That said, you do need to stay on top of everything, as you’re in charge of inputting all the details from start to finish, but any questions you can contact the team very easily and they get back to you very quickly. The food tasting evening was also such a great idea a few months prior to your wedding day, we sampled so many tasty options of food and wine and were able to choose our menu instantly after the tasting. One point to consider is that you are not able to access the venue until 11am on the wedding day, this meant we had to start the process of getting ready at home, we were completely aware of this and made prior arrangements to make it work, but it’s just something to think about with regards to timings to allow for the extra touch-ups after transitioning. On the wedding day, the team at Notley Abbey made everything run like clockwork. Their attention to detail was second to none. On arrival the staff greet you warmly, help you unload and carry items from your cars, and set up all the extra personal touches. The food was a standout – absolutely delicious! Our guests are still raving about the main course - the ‘coffee-rubbed beef’. The way that the waiting staff all placed the plates down at exactly the same time for each course was a perfect synchronisation. The venue transitions were seamless – one moment everything was beautifully set up, and the next it was magically cleared and reset for the next part of the day. No flowers were wasted or ignored , they just kept reappearing into the next part of the day. The rooms, particularly the bridal suite, are full of character and history – a truly romantic setting to get ready in and spend your first night as a married couple and the breakfast the next morning, both cooked and continental, was a lovely way to round off the experience. Overall Notley Abbey was the perfect venue for a perfect Wedding day.

We recently got married this summer at Huntsmill Farm and had an unforgettable weekend celebrating. Saskia was so helpful and attentive the day before the ceremony and the day of. Communication with the team from initial booking right through to our big day was excellent. Having exclusive use of the cottages and venue for the whole weekend was so useful and just what we were looking for. Our guests commented on how beautiful the venue and grounds were and we’ll never forget the stunning setting of our big day. Thank you to the team for making our day so special.

The venue was fantastic and all the staff was great, for the prefect wedding.

The barn and grounds are beautiful! The whole team were amazing! So well organised, professional, supportive and communicated well with us. We had the perfect wedding thanks to their help. The venue has got everything! The in-house DJ was great and tuned in to the music we wanted. The suppliers were fantastic too! The food was to die for!! All our guests commented on the amazing food from the chef and his team. There are lots of extras available to hire. We hired a new member of the team for drinks, photos and cuddles, 'Ian' the beer donkey! He was a huge hit with all the guests. Everyone said it was the best wedding they have been to. We can't thank the team at Notley enough for all their help in making our day so special. We highly recommend them!

Beautiful venue! It recently went through some work and it was prettier than when we first scouted the barn. Val was so helpful throughout the process and there was no stress on the day. I had a guest who had a wardrobe malfunction and was so quickly sorted out by staff at the barn. There was high praise from all our guests about the delicious food and professionalism. David and I would highly recommend them.
