Beautiful venue with fantastic service!

We got married here in June 2021 and would pick this venue over and over again. We experienced the most friendly yet professional service throughout our whole wedding journey and nothing was too much to ask for Adrian and his team. We desperately wanted to get married outside and Adrian was hauling chairs out of the barns on our wedding morning (the sun had finally appeared) to make this a reality! We've watched the barns develop from the beginning and the final picture is more than we could have ever imagined. The barns are of the highest standard and we promise you wont look anywhere else after viewing Hanbury!

Wow wow and wow again 😍

I recently had my wedding at Hanbury Barns and it typically coincided with storm darrah! Despite this our day was absolutely perfect from start to end! Our event planner Jordanna went above and beyond in every way and we were so lucky to have her! The barns are the perfect backdrop for every season but our winter wedding was stunning. Having the barns split into 3 seperate function rooms feels like you’ve got plenty of space but not too much that your guests don’t fill it! Each room is perfect in its own way. Having access to the bridal prep room meant I was already on site and had all mine and my bridesmaids hair and makeup done there without the worry it was going to get ruined on the way to the venue. The wedding breakfast room was spectacular and laid out exactly how I wanted. In the evening the dance floor was plenty big enough for everyone also with lots of seating for the older guests without them missing out on the action. The pods on site accommodation were super cute and so convenient for us and our guests. For those overflow guests there are plenty of hotel options around close by to suit a variety of budgets. I would absolutely recommend Hanbury Barns wedding venue in a heartbeat 💓

Lovely venue but not very flexible

Positives:
Beautiful setting and venue. Warm and welcoming. Professional. Cosy and warm pods. Spacious and lovely atmosphere. Great to have no corkage until 7 pm so we ordered Majestic delivery. Bar also available. Clean and modern venue. Communicative on the day.

Room for improvement:
our event manager changed multiple times. Caterers and venue are independent parties and do not communicate causing duplication. It felt disjointed and repetitive. We had to pay extra £95 for the bar to be opened in the day. We had to take all rubbish away, leftover cakes, packing boxes, flower arrangements immediately after the wedding by 10:30. Considering that we paid £5,000 for the venue hire, it did not feel like value for money. At drop off the day before, you only get 30-60 min window which is stressful. They followed most of the set up brief but there were room for improvement I.e no spoons were given for evening cakes until we asked and they gave us few wooden spoons. The cake boxes were not used or displayed for guests to take home.

Beautiful venue, but I feel we were short-changed

We booked Hanbury just before they were taken over (if we had known we would have chosen a different location), we were promised a load of things like being able to setup the day before etc etc when we booked and when the new owners took over that was no longer the case which caused alot of panic for us.

While the team handled alot of the questions and queries, there was a lack of communication between the team as I ended up repeating myself many times over and fighting the same fires throughout the process.

On the day, while things were setup on time things were missed or not done correctly in line with the notes that I had left such as napkins on the table, signage etc. It's one of those things but could have been avoided if we could have setup the day before - especially as there wasn't a wedding. It ended up being a busy and stressful morning for me and my wedding party trying to get everything done ahead of trying to get ready.

I feel that the venue doesn't cater for DIY weddings so just be warned if this is something you did want to do, as this may not be the venue for you.

The pods were great and clean, but one of the staff was rude to my family when checking in which caused unnecessary stress for them.

On the whole, lovely venue, but improvements for DIY brides need to be considered, the team had the lists of everything that was coming to venue and how I wanted it setting up, if me and my bridal party didn't setup what we did, it wouldn't have been done in time. Apparently the tables weren't set-up in time when the ceremony finished either. Especially if there isn't a wedding the day before, you should be allowed to setup as much as you want or need to. As it was so stressful when it didn't need to be!!

Hanbury wedding barns

I couldn't recommend hanbury barns enough, from the moment we looked around right up to our special day was just amazing.

We were able to personalise our day with everything we wanted which was just amazing

The day was chilled, fun, eventful and everyone of our guests had the best time.

We made memories that will last a lifetime

Disappointed

We were so excited to find Hanbury Barn to celebrate our Wedding day, it offered an amazing and magical feel. We were due to get married in the November but sadly in the January received some devastating news and was diagnosed with cancer and uncertain to what the future held with made a difficult decision to cancel our wedding.
Due to the exceptional circumstances we asked Hanbury if we could be refunded our deposit, all other providers had acknowledged our circumstances and had fully refunded.
Hanbury Barn were quite the opposite and showed little compassion or understanding of our position and their handling of it was very cold and matter of fact and so disappointed with their response and support it would not be a place we feel we could chose when that time is right again

Beautiful Venue

We got married at Hanbury a couple of weeks ago and we had the most perfect day. Sarah made sure our day ran so smoothly and we can't thank her enough. The venue itself is so beautiful and we really felt looked after. We thought it was such good value for money, especially compared to other wedding venues of a similar style, however we did book it nearly 2 years ago now.

Brilliant venue

Hanbury was on our list from the very start when we wanted a barn style wedding venue. The venue was perfectly situated and was wheelchair accessible- a must with four wheelchair users attending our wedding! In addition, dog friendly so our four legged family member could also attend! From the very start we were made to feel welcomed by Hanbury- our wedding coordinator Sarah was fantastic! We had nothing but compliments from our guests and I would recommend the venue to anyone getting married- even if I feel a little protective over it! It’s our wedding venue!

A Perfect Day!

We booked two years before our date just before Covid began. The team were brilliant at keeping us updated with everything going on. Leading up to the day Emma was brilliant always a email or phone call away to help and answer questions. All our guests havent stopped mentioning how beautiful the venue is. We just missed out on the accomodation however they look like a brilliant addition.
