The most amazing venue & team!

From the moment we drove up to Curds Hall Barn, we were pretty certain that we would choose this as our wedding venue. Driving away after that first meeting we couldn't stop smiling, and it was a joy to work with Eleanor and the team at CHB, both in the lead up to the big day, and on the day itself! The venue was absolutely beautiful, with the right amount of space so that everyone felt involved at all times, without being crowded. Having our wedding breakfast in the Woodshed was intimate and the drinks reception out on the grass was perfect. When we told Eleanor that we wanted a Mexican themed wedding, she suggested Beat Banditos, a mariachi trio who play modern songs with a Mexican twist, and they were amazing!! it was such a great addition to the day. We also stayed in the Old Coach House over the wedding weekend which was simply wonderful - modern kitchen, comfortable beds and so close to the main barn. We cannot thank Eleanor enough, for all of her support and advice, who was alway ready to answer any and all of our questions. Truly a perfect day and we are so thankful to CHB for helping to make it so! 100% would recommend!

Wow! Thank you

We got married in July 2024 and it was without doubt the best day EVER!

The whole team at CHB are amazing. Eleanor was fantastic and so organised. She made us feel at ease throughout every step of the planning process. Nothing was to much trouble. She had lots of advice and recommendations, and was always on hand to help with any questions.

The barn itself is beautiful. It was the first and only venue we viewed because as soon as we visited we knew it was the place we wanted to get married.

If you do get a chance to hire the Old Coach House then we would highly recommend it, it just added to the whole experience and meant we could live in that newlywed bubble for a little bit longer with our nearest & dearest.

Thank you to everyone at CHB for making it a day to remember.

Exceptional

We literally had the best day!!! It was everything we hoped for and more. We are still on such a high from it all, I haven’t really slept much since hahaha. 

I honestly can never thank you Eleanor and her team enough for everything they did. Eleanor was utterly amazing the whole way through. 100% the best decision we made to choose Curds Hall for our wedding! All the staff were incredible. Everyone was so complimentary of Eleanor and the whole team. 

I have so many highlights and memories I will treasure forever and I genuinely feel so lucky to have had Eleanor as part of our special day. We will treasure forever. The fact she was out in the rain bringing ice creams and pizzas. She literally went above and beyond to make our day as special as it was. We could totally relax knowing everything was in hand the whole day. Gosh I need to go grab the tissues, I’m off again 😭😭😭. 

Eleanor made the whole wedding planning process relaxing and fun. She was always available to answer any questions we had and was very accommodating of any ideas we had.

Couldn’t have asked for more!

Simply perfect

Where to begin! Everything at Curds Hall Barn from start to finish was just amazing, it was the perfect venue for our wedding. Annabelle, our coordinator and the team from the very beginning went above and beyond to ensure we had our dream wedding. We are beyond grateful and during the whole process leading up to our wedding and during, we felt completely at ease. All of our guests have commented on how lovely the venue and grounds are. We also stayed in the Old Coach House with our family/friends for our wedding weekend. Again, such a beautiful house and would definitely recommend for other wedding parties. The honeycomb old fashioned was a great hit and I am forever grateful for you saving my veil as it blew away in the wind! It is a truly amazing venue and we are just so grateful for everything.

Dream Venue

Curds Hall Barn was the most perfect venue for our wedding, everything from the team, the barns, the accommodation and overall experience for our guests was amazing. We could not have wished for a better day.
We are so grateful to the team, particularly Annabelle who leading up to and on our wedding day truly went above and beyond to ensure the day flowed perfectly so we were able to relax fully. There's no way we could have done it without them and coordinating a surprise firework display was no mean feat!
As a DIY venue its fantastic to allow you to put your individual touches without hidden costs and nothing was too much trouble for the team. They even accommodated our quirky request to have some of our sheep join in on our big day!
We also made use of the Old Coach House to get ready and for the family to stay in for the weekend. It is beautiful and we would recommend this for other wedding parties.
Curds Hall Barn is truly an amazing venue in Norfolk, we can't wait to see how it develops in the future and we are so lucky we got to have our special day here.

the PERFECT Norfolk venue.

We got married in October 2023 and we knew as soon as we walked into Curds Hall Barn on one of their open evenings that we'd found the one (this was confirmed by the uncontrollable happy tears I had once we left!)

Eleanor was ever so welcoming and friendly and was our first contact on the open evening, she answered all of our questions and any little queries we had before booking very quickly! We were lucky enough to have Annabelle as our co-ordinator who I couldn't thank enough for being just the best person at keeping me cool, calm and grounded during the planning process, on the day and on the clean up the morning after! (although I believe she has now moved on!)

Curds Hall offered everything we wanted and more for our wedding day, a slightly more modern twist on a barn but with all the rustic features we love such as timber beams and stone walls, which made for perfect photos both inside and out!

The dark wood (we're monochrome lovers so this was a win for us!) in the woodshed offered the perfect setting for our intimate wedding breakfast whilst the main barn is perfect for partying!

The mezzanine level was the perfect place for our audio guestbook and makeshift photobooth which whilst being quieter, isn't separate from the building so you still felt part of the party! Another win for us was that you have pretty much complete freedom to decorate the entire venue as you wish AND, with ours being an October wedding, the barn is heated perfectly, or open the doors and enjoy the outside space they have if it's a warm summer wedding you're planning.

We were lucky enough to be one of the first weddings with the new and improved bar and toilets which were spotlessly clean and the bar was run to perfection. Whilst we didn't use the accomodation, we did look at it on the open evening and it was stunning, perfect for the bridal party getting ready on the morning of or for guests to stay in after the wedding!

If you're thinking about Curds Hall Barn as a venue for your full wedding day or just the reception, or any life event for that matter - do it! you won't regret it!

I wish I could throw every event or party at Curds Hall, it truly has a special place in my heart and we can't thank everyone there enough for everything they done for us🤍✨

Magical and relaxed wedding

We honestly cannot speak more highly of Curds Hall Barn and their events team.

From the moment we booked Curds for our wedding, they were incredibly responsive to our emails and no request was too difficult. From changing our date, to organising a second bar for our guests, to making sure our slightly untraditional set up ran without a hitch, the entire team at Curds Hall made our wedding so memorable and stress free.

In addition to the amazing service, the venue is unbelievably beautiful. Everything is finished to a high quality and every time I arrived at the venue I was blown away by how gorgeous it was, and so many of our guests were gushing about how amazing the venue was at how worth it it was to make the drive. I would 100% reccomens Curds Hall Barn to any couple looking for a wedding venue.

Perfect Venue

Myself and my now husband got married on the 15th of June 2024 at Curds Hall Barn and it was honestly the best day of our lives, and one of the main reasons for this was the absolutely incredible venue that is CHB.
We started looking at venues back in March 2022, we viewed over 10, but CHB stuck out to the both of us from the moment we walked in there, we knew it was the venue for us.
The views of the fields that surround the barn is just one of the many reasons that we loved it, let alone how incredible that barn itself is.
Eleanor, Annabelle (before she left) and Evie were absolutely brilliant from the start of the wedding process back in 2022 to after the wedding day.
They were on hand to answer all of my many and crazy questions, and nothing was too hard for them to sort.
I was having a major panic about the weather the week of the wedding, but Evie & Eleanor were amazing and were so reassuring and helpful.

We will never be able to truly express how grateful we are for the above named people, and for allowing us to have our dream wedding.

Curds Hall Barn is absolutely perfect and I cannot praise it enough.

Thank you.

The BEST venue!

The moment we saw Curds Hall Barn online we knew it was special. We managed to view it quickly and were lucky enough to catch one of their open days to see the full potential this beautiful barn had. At this point, the venue had only had a wedding season or two but that wasn’t off putting in the slightest, especially when we met the venues lovely wedding coordinators. We quickly secured the barn for our chosen date and then went from there. Eleanor and her team supplied us with the top suppliers in Norfolk and offered valuable advice to us throughout our two years of planning. They made our planning process so exciting and guided us as and when we needed it. We were invited to all of their incredible open days and enjoyed every moment of them with our family and friends. Each time we were reminded why we had chosen CHB.

When it came to the day of set up, Eleanor was there with kindness and support. By the time we had finished, the barn looked as we had always pictured. Needless to say, you could do nothing to this beautiful venue and still be married in picture perfect surroundings! We also booked to stay in the lovely Coach House for the weekend, which really was a great decision. It was the ideal set up and we created memories for life from a weekend with our loved ones there.

The wedding itself was quite a wet one and even though it wasn’t what we had planned, everything went perfectly and I do believe that is thanks to Eleanor and the team. Our wedding really was the best day of our lives and we honestly don’t feel there is another venue that would have given us a better day. CHB will always have a very special place in our hearts and we are extremely thankful.

The Mannings.

Amazing wedding venue

We had such a brilliant time getting married at Curds Hall Barn. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, the staff could not have been more helpful (especially Eleanor our main coordinator and Evie who helped us closer to the time as well!) and we will never forget the brilliant time we had. All our guests commented on how beautiful the setting was and how much they enjoyed themselves. This venue has it all and there is something for everyone. I love that there were separate areas for people to spend the evening. They could party on the dance floor, chat in the wood shed or relax upstairs…wherever they went, people still felt close together and connected, something that was important to us! We can’t thank the incredible team enough and we loved our time at CHB and the Old Coach House. It was all absolutely perfect!

Curds hall barn. What a dream day.

Myself & Brett got married here on the 16/12/2023. What an incredible experience we had. From start to finish, Eleanor our coordinator was on hand & helpful for the whole year we spent planning. From helping me chose my wedding dress, Eleanor was incredible. The whole day went so smoothly even with a few of our guests being a bit to silly. Eleanor kept me and brett away from any issues & sorted any problems we had without us even knowing! Eleanor was on hand to help me calm my nerves just before walking down the aisle & gave me a massive hug as I got to the venue. The day ran super smoothly & I couldn't of asked for a better venue. We were allowed full creativity & were pointed in the right direction for food vendors, decor, dropping etc. It was just perfect! We are still on cloud 9 & want to take the time to tell the curds family how grateful we are.

Lots of love

MR & MRS STANFORTH ❤️

Beautiful, professional, flexible, stress-free

What a venue! We do not live in Norfolk but we travelled especially because Curds Hall Barn had everything that we were looking for in a venue. I loved that we were able to decorate the venue ourselves and the venue were so accommodating with all of the ideas that I had. From the get go, the staff were so supportive and great at responding to my 100s of emails! Annabelle made the process so easy for us and all of the other staff that we met were lovely too - they did everything they could to help us feel at ease and as stress-free as possible. The venue itself is absolutely stunning - we had so many compliments on the day about the setting including the grounds, the buildings and the interior. We had the best possible day and everything happened flawlessly - the attention to detail and precision to our requests exceeded our expectations. We could not have asked for anything more - it is the perfect venue and we had the perfect day. Thank you for everything!

The perfect venue

We could not have asked for a better venue for our wedding than Curds Hall Barn. Everything about it is what we imagined for our ideal wedding and more. Curds Hall Barn is in the most idillic setting, in rural Norfolk. The barn is absolutely beautiful and fitting perfectly with the rustic design we wanted. Eleanor and Annabel were dedicated to making our wedding the perfect day. We had many meetings to ensure that everything was how we would want it and that everything on the day would run smoothly. On the day of our wedding Eleanor went above and beyond and her attention to detail was second to none. The absolute cherry on the cake was when the owners at Curds Hall arranged for a tractor and combine harvester to arrive in the field next to the venue. My husband was over the moon to see these and every child at our wedding was gobsmacked. We had our ceremony outside and our wedding breakfast in the beautiful wood shed. We would high recommend this beautiful venue.
