Last update: June 2024

Combe Manor Barns is a boutique wedding venue offering true exclusivity and uninterrupted views just outside Hungerford, Berkshire. Immersed in the rolling valley of Combe, this historic setting boasts a selection of 19th-century barns nestled on the sprawling estate of a 17th-century manor. Here, flexibility, privacy, and style intertwine to help you host the country destination wedding you deserve.

Facilities and Capacity

Down a single-track road awaits Combe Manor Barns, offering quiet solitude but an easy 90-minute drive from London. Boasting a distinctive selection of licensed civil ceremony settings, this open venue can easily host any wedding theme. The two great barns angle together to form a versatile space that can host a ceremony and a later reception party. This elegant rustic site has been recently redecorated; the interior palette lightened beautifully to show the antique beams. The Grade I listed Norman chapel is just the place for a religious ceremony, nestled next door to the manor house. After your first kiss as newlyweds, your guests can make their way to the barn courtyard while you may take portraits in the manor house and gardens. The formal Drawing Room is a particularly favoured spot for intimate group photos. A beautiful get-ready suite is also available for you to refresh and prepare for the next exciting stages. Afterwards, loved ones can celebrate the day's festivities in the dining barn, toasting your union over a bespoke meal.

Services Offered

The family-run team have been hosting weddings, parties, and theatrical events at Combe Manor Barns for over 20 years. Being a dry-hire venue, you are free to enlist outside vendors and services to form your own custom package. The team endeavour to do all they can to ensure you have a wedding day that feels entirely personal to you. This includes providing access to the space for several days before the day and giving ample time to collect any items afterwards—ideal for DIY weddings. Backed by their extensive experience, they are happy to lend advice on sourcing outside caterers, bar staff, florists, and more to best serve your budget. On the venue website, you can find helpful guidance and tips for hiring vendors and organizing the day with ease. The team looks forward to showing you their unique venue and possibilities.

Magical venue

Combe Manor is a truly magical place to get married, we couldn’t be happier with the service provided by Sybille, Jason and the team. All our guests commented on how beautiful the barns are and how magical it felt.

Stunning Wedding Venue

We were looking for a venue that could accommodate a wedding service, and felt rural, pretty, rustic and tranquil. Combe Manor Bard surpassed all our expectations.

From the moment we messaged, Sybille and her team were fantastic. We were able to view the venue multiple times leading up to the wedding, and were able to set up from two days before the event itself.

One thing we loved was the fact we could really personalise the venue to our tastes, and Sybille gave us some fantastic recommendations for caterers and other vendors. The space itself is beautiful - the indoor and outdoor spaces flowed really well so while our guests had space to explore and spread out, everyone stayed close by. Our day felt absolutely magical.

Magical Combe Manor

Combe Manor Barns is the most magical wedding venue we could have possibly asked for. From first visiting the venue to leaving happily married Sybille has been there to answer any queries and questions we had, which made the whole experience relaxed. Having the venue for a few days meant that we could decorate the already stunning venue to make it our own special place. We couldn't have wished for better place to celebrate our new adventure together.

The best venue we could have found!

We highly recommend Combe Manor Barns. From the moment of meeting Sybille, to the day of our wedding, the whole experience has felt very easy and just what we were looking for. The Barns and grounds are absolutely beautiful and we had the most amazing day here. We highly recommend contacting Sybille if you're looking to host an event in such exquisite surroundings. Thank you!

The best wedding venue with the flexiblity to make it your own and fully personalised

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding than Combe Manor Barns. Every moment was magical, thanks in no small part to Sybille, who was simply exceptional from beginning to end. Her flexibility and willingness to accommodate our wishes, from decorating the venue to choosing caterers, made the planning process seamless.

Sybille went above and beyond to make our dream of an outdoor ceremony a reality, even providing chairs for our guests—we were the first couple to exchange vows outside the venue. Additionally, the use of a room and bathroom in the main manor house for getting ready was a thoughtful touch that added to the convenience and charm of the day.

One of the highlights was the absence of a corkage fee, allowing us to personalise our drinks selection and create a bar that perfectly suited our tastes. It was an unforgettable celebration, made all the more special by the wonderful team at Combe Manor Barns.

Perfect venue for out wedding

We held our wedding at Combe Manor Barns in October and the venue and our host Sybille we both absolutely stunning! The barns and their setting are beautiful and it was great having the flexibility to really make the day so unique and special for us. Sybille was friendly and accommodating throughout the organising process and was on hand to help make sure the final preparations and the day went smoothly. We had access to the barns in the run up to the wedding so we could add our own decoratiosn which helped make the day so magical. Could recommened more highly!

Beautiful venue with multiple different locations for photo opportunities, outside activies and adventures for the children. Great communication in the build up to the wedding and on the day someone was always available to help us with any queries we had. Hopefully will be back soon to work with Combe manor Barnes and their team again

Stunning Venue with the Loveliest of Hosts

Combe Manor is stunning! The barns, house, and surroundings all make for a perfect wedding day. Nothing felt like too much for the owner, any query big or small was answered promptly and on the day we set up she was there offering support and anything we needed to set the barns up for our special day. On the day she was with us all the way, even taking some candid photos which was lovely to see a couple of days later while waiting for the professional ones.
I can't say anything negative about our experience with Combe Manor Barns, other than it went past too quickly!

Excellent - the perfect venue!

We could not be happier with Combe Manor Barns - the venue owner, Sybille, was incredibly helpful, responsive and flexible, enabling us to host the most wonderful day in her beautiful barns. We, and all of our guests, would most certainly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a unique space to celebrate their special day. Thank you so much for making our wedding such a memorable occasion for everyone involved!

Amazing venue!

Combe Manor is an exceptional venue and was absolutely perfect for our wedding day in August this year. The rolling countryside is an absolutely stunning backdrop and we had so many compliments from our guests on the setting. Being able to put our own touch on the venue through decoration etc only added to the day and made it that extra bit special to us. Sybille is very friendly, helpful and flexible. She made plenty of suggestions to help organise our day and was on hand throughout to make sure the day went smoothly. Combe will always be a special place for us and we feel very grateful we had our wedding day there. Thank you again to Sybille and her team!

Perfect in Every Way

My daughter and her fiancé wanted a wedding they could design themselves and in a picturesque setting. Combe Manor was the perfect solution. The support and involvement of the owner Sybille helped make the day a huge success.

Gorgeous venue

We had our wedding here late April 2023 and the venue was simply perfect. Having access to the venue a few days before was so helpful, which allowed us to design and implement our special day exactly how we wanted it. What’s great about this venue is you get the time to enjoy the set up and that part of the process, in the lead up to your day.
Sybille is a fantastic, reliable and caring host. She and / or her team are present on the day to help you too.
The shape of the venue worked perfectly for us too. It’s an L shaped barn. We had our ceremony on one side and kept the wedding breakfast area closed off as a surprise, on the other side. There is a large curtain that divides the two areas and you can have lots of fun with this; drawing back the curtain for both entrances to the ceremony area and at point of entering the wedding breakfast. There’s also a stage where the music is typically played from. We had a live band who played up there. It’s a really professional looking space and the tech behind the stage was good too.
We would highly recommend Combe Manor Barns and the fantastic Sybille for your special day!

Our perfect Wedding 1st July 2023

My husband and I had been planning our Wedding for over 3 years having postponed it twice due to Covid restrictions.... When choosing a venue we wanted somewhere spectacular that was gorgeous in its own right but has the potential to showcase our own ideas! Our Wedding was a very chilled and relaxed event with our gorgeous family and friends laughter and smiles being the backdrop of the day.
Every single person that attended had a fantastic time, with remarking on the beautiful venue and how idealic the surrounds were... Many of the guests where amazing by the beauty of Combe with many not even knowing it was here despite living less than 13 miles from the venue! Sybille was fantastic from the moment we viewed Combe Manor back to 2020, we instantly fell in love with the Venue and Sybille's relaxed and nothing is too much trouble attitude. Sybille was flexiable and really let us have free reigh of decorating the Venue. Combe Manor Barns was the perfect choice for perfect Wedding Reception and it will always hold a special place in our hearts!
We aren't sure which is higher A* or 15/10!!! Although Sybille you deserve both!!!

Would 110% recommend

It is difficult to know where to start when Sybille carried us through the whole process with such professionalism and subtle humour!
We really didn't now where to start and, being an 'older couple' wanted as little fuss as possible. Combe Manor Barns proved the perfect venue for us, with so much flexibility, so much already available in situ and with Sybille there in the background to answer every question by return.
The weather was not on our side but the sun came out, we were able to use the outside space for our reception, the lawns had all been mown, chairs and parasols were already out and guests could just relax. There were so many possibilities for photographs, the well equipped kitchen made the evening meal possible for our wonderful caterers, Vaughan's Kitchens, who were recommended by Sybille and the band were shown any equipment that they needed. We really couldn't have asked for more and would 110% recommend Combe Manor Barns for all that it provides in such a beautiful setting. Nick & Jane
