Kyle & Kim Wedding 16/05/2026
We had our wedding at Elms Barn on 16/05/2026. It was the first venue we viewed but as soon as we walked round the Barn and gardens we knew it was the perfect venue for us. The whole day was just out of this world and all the staff were amazing, friendly and worked so hard to make the day as special as it was.
A special mention to Ruth and Sarah, they made the day run so smoothly and nothing was ever too much to ask.
The Barn and the surrounding gardens and areas are so stunning, the photographer was spoilt for choice!
The food was 10/10 and everyone commented how delicious it was.
They also have an in-house florist. Teena took our ideas and turned them into something even more stunning than we could have imagined, they were just beautiful.
Having the accommodation from Friday to Sunday was a lovely extra too meaning all our closest family and friends could enjoy time together at such a special time.
We truly had the perfect wedding experience with everyone at Elms Barn x

The most perfect venue!
From the moment we arrived at Elms Barn to view the venue, we fell in love with it. Not only is the venue stunningly beautiful, the vision Ruth Melton (Wedding and Events Director) helped create was second to none. Every question was answered with ease and complete flexibility.
Taking the stress away of needing to sort our own caterer or florest was a massive help for us - Elms Barn have their own amazing team of chefs and in-house florest. Their dedication and eye for perfection is just beyond words so I will sum up with completely fabulous !
The value for money is great, with three different price range options for meals, a huge selection of wines available with varying prices and a ‘no pressure zone’. It really was our day to plan and budget, with Ruth’s understanding and guidance.
The accommodation was also perfect… the convenience and cleanliness was immaculate. I would recommend to any bride and groom that they stay at the Stackyard Lodge!
The given recommendation of suppliers, services and vendors were perfect. It was easy to tell that so many vendors had been involved in previous weddings at Elms Barn and it made the day even more seamless for it. Everyone was working perfectly together and clearly having an amazing time.
Thank you Elms Barn for helping us create the day of our dreams.

Excellent venue, gorgeous barn with so much accommodation on site for the whole weekend
Ruth, Sarah and the team were amazing from the start of the planning process. They were very responsive via email and kept things on track. The venue is stunning, a beautiful barn, gardens and surroundings. And what really drew us in was the fact that they only do maximum of 2 weddings a week so you get time to add your own details and it’s not a rushed turn around. There are also 3 beautiful houses on site where 24 people can stay. This made it such a lovely long weekend for all our family and bridal party. The venue were so accommodating to all our little personalised requests for the day, nothing was ever a no!
The flowers from the in house florist Teena were also absolutely stunning, exactly what we had requested.
We had the most amazing day, I would love to relive it and would really recommend Elms Barn for your wedding!

Stunning wedding venue in Beccles
We got married at Elms Barn on 08/04/2026 and it was the most wonderful day. We booked a viewing for Elms Barn in April 2025 and knew it was the perfect venue for us - we weren’t even engaged yet! The beautiful exposed beams, red brick and gorgeous gardens won us over. The fact that you get exclusive access for three days was the cherry on top.
Ruth was absolutely fantastic in helping us organise the most perfect two days (we had our legal ceremony in the barn on the Tuesday evening). She was exceptionally quick to respond to our emails and was very knowledgeable about vendors, what worked in the space and recommending timings to ensure a relaxed wedding day. Her knowledge is exceptional.
Our coordinator for both days was Sarah. We had a meeting with Sarah on Tuesday who answered all our last minute questions and took the extra time to calm our nerves. We didn’t have to worry about managing any of the timings and the day went off without a hitch. She was an excellent and calming presence throughout the day.
The food by Shel was incredible (we had the pork belly and herby polenta with goats cheese fritters for our main courses - they were both delicious), and the whole team made the wedding breakfast run seamlessly. Teena is a fantastic florist, and she helped suggest so many different kinds that would work for our idea of soft pastel bud vases. Loads of guests commented on how beautiful the flowers were! The bouquets and button holes were also so beautiful.
If you want a really personalised wedding, a responsive team and a beautiful venue, Elms Barn gives you all three. A perfect venue for a perfect day.

Our Wedding at Elms Barn
Elms Barn
From the moment we first viewed Elms Barn almost a year before our wedding, we knew it was the perfect venue for us. It had everything we could have dreamed of and more.
The accommodation was incredible, and having it the night before meant our whole wedding party could settle in, relax, and really enjoy the build-up to the big day together. It made the whole experience feel so special and unhurried.
Sarah and Ruth went above and beyond throughout the entire process to ensure everything ran perfectly. They genuinely felt more like friends than wedding coordinators, and their care and attention meant everything to us.
The flowers from Teena were absolutely spectacular—exactly what we wanted and somehow even better. The food was incredible, especially the vegetarian options. As a vegetarian myself, this was really important to me, and it was amazing to feel so well catered for.
The atmosphere on the day was just perfect, and that is completely down to the beautiful venue and the amazing people who work there. We can’t thank everyone at Elms Barn enough for all of their help, not just on the day but in the months leading up to it. It was everything we hoped for and more 🤍

Our perfect venue
On the 8th of November 2025, we tied the knot at Elms Barn. We had been planning this day for 2 years with the help of Ruth and it exceeded every single expectation. Firstly, the venue itself is stunning, the accommodation is spacious but homely. The ground themselves are vast and wonderful to wonder around as we did the day before and the morning after our wedding. The barn was so intimate for our ceremony and felt like such a special place and thanks to Ruth and the staff, during the changeover periods, the rooms took on new feelings each time we returned.
The flowers from Tina and the florists were stunning and exactly what we wanted. The food was amazing, especially the bangers and mash we had for main! And all of the staff there on the day were so lovely to everyone through the whole day, never slowing down and always having fun.
This was the first wedding venue we looked at when we started planning and we left knowing that we were going to book. This was for all the reasons above relating to the wonderful venue and the packages they offer but also because of Ruth who was instrumental in helping us plan and execute the day of our dreams. We really didn’t know how it was all going to come together, but thanks to her, it did, seamlessly. She is professional, but also kind and fun and she made the whole experience so wonderful and we cannot thank her enough!
Thank you to Ruth and everyone at Elms Barn for being so amazing and for helping us make the day of our dreams!!

Our Dream Venue!
We got married at Elms Barn on 11.10.2025 and couldn't be happier or more proud to say we had our wedding at Elms Barn!
From the first viewing where we met Ruth, we were met with not only a stunning venue, but such a high level of professionalism and support. The Barn, marquee and accomodation were all perfect.
We arranged multiple meetings with Ruth and she was always so responsive in the lead up to our day. On the day itself Sarah and the rest of the Elms Barn team were amazing, my Husband and I didn't need to think of anything on the day, they had it all handled.
The flowers Teena prepared were beautiful and the food was exceptional. We had countless comments on how amazing everything was!
We couldn't recommend Elms Barn more- our dream venue and team for our dream day!

Our Wedding at Elms Barn – A Perfect Day
From start to finish, our wedding day at Elms Barn was nothing short of magical.

We honestly couldn’t have wished for a more perfect day. Elms Barn will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and we’re so grateful to everyone who made our wedding so unforgettable.

Chloe & Jack’s wedding 31.05.2025
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more incredible wedding day. From start to finish, the team at Elms Barn were absolutely amazing — so accommodating, so professional, and yet so genuinely kind and personal. Every little detail was beautifully thought out, and the whole day ran SO smoothly that we were able to just relax and soak up every moment without an ounce of stress.
A special shoutout to Ruth, our wedding coordinator, who was an absolute superstar. She made sure everything flowed perfectly, kept everyone calm and happy, and went above and beyond in every possible way — even joining us on the dance floor later in the evening! Her energy and care made the day feel truly special, and we’re so grateful for everything she did behind the scenes to make it all look effortless.
Our guests haven’t stopped saying how beautiful the venue was and how seamless everything felt. It really was the most incredible day ever, and we’ll be forever thankful to Elms Barn and Ruth for making our dream wedding come to life. 🤍

It’s so hard to even put it to words how grateful we are to Elm Barn for our wedding. The price was incredible especially as you get three day exclusive hire of the entire venue. The staff are absolutely incredible and we had so many comments from our guests who also noticed how lovely each and everyone was. The support is there from the very beginning and Ruth and her team were so helpful throughout the planning all the way through to the big day! Ruth was always so helpful and got back to us so quickly with any queries we had. The whole team brought our vision and dream day to life and it couldn’t have been more perfect.

The best day ❤️
We simply could not recommend Elms barn more! The barn itself is so stunning with the most gorgeous surroundings - perfect for photos! Ruth was on hand to answer all of our questions and helped us plan and prep for our perfect day. Every member of staff were so friendly and they couldn't do anything more for us. Teena who provided the flowers created such stunning pieces and her ideas helped us a lot. The catering was amazing with the best canapés and the most delicious wedding breakfast - there were also plenty of options to choose from. The accommodation was so lovely to have on site so friends and family could stay. And having the added touch to be able to stay the night before made it more intimate and special for the bridal party getting ready. For anyone thinking of booking Elms barn definitely do it! 6 months on and we still get comments from our guests how perfect our day was. It was simply amazing!
