Maidens Barn

Words cannot do justice to the incredible team at Maidens who helped to make our Wedding day the best day of our lives. From the moment we chose MB as our venue, the team were able to assist us every step of the way. Alex, Sam, Mercedes, Natalia, Elliot and the whole team were so organised, professional but also kind, reassuring and helpful. The venue was stunning, we loved the modern feel combined with the rustic charm of the barns. The food provided by the in house caterers was superb and they were able to alter the menu for those with specific dietary requirements. The honeymoon cottage was delightful and it was great to have so many rooms available on site for friends and family to stay. We could not recommend Maidens Barn any higher, thank you so much for playing such a massive part in our special day.

We had the most incredible wedding day at Maidens Barn and cannot thank the team enough. From start to finish, the staff were amazing and made sure we were looked after every step of the way. Nothing was too much trouble, and they helped everything run so smoothly, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment. We've had so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the venue was and how wonderful the staff were. We couldn't have chosen a better place to celebrate our special day.

There is the additional feature of a bridal prep room as well as a dedicated room for the Groom and Groomsmen to get ready in which we did not find anywhere else when looking for venues.

The Honeymoon Cottage was incredible too, a great space to have for the night of the wedding as well as when you need 5 minutes away to reflect on the special day.

Highly recommend and we hope to return back one day!

We viewed a few venues across Essex of a similar style but maidens barn was just what we were looking for. The perfect size and style for the wedding we wanted. As a venue it was incredible, we had our ceremony outside as we wanted, the perfect mix of indoor and outdoor areas and with 14 rooms, lots of our guests got to stay and have breakfast with us the next day. The staff at maidens barn couldn’t do enough for us, they facilitated every ask we had and were so responsive and helpful to any questions we had. It was the perfect day and maidens barn contributed so much to make it what it was, we can’t thank them enough!

We had the most incredible day and so many of our guests commented on how wonderful the staff and food was. The whole team made everything feel so seamless and took away so much of the stress, allowing us to completely relax and enjoy every moment. The food was amazing and our guests loved it! The honeymoon cottage is lovely to spend after the day has finished and is tucked away to give that little extra privacy. The team are very responsive to emails and we’re happy to source Cornish cider for our wedding last minute which we loved! We would recommend this venue to anyone getting married we couldn’t have asked for a better day

We honestly had the most amazing wedding at Maidens Barn and couldn't have wished for a more perfect venue for our special day! From the moment we first visited, we knew it was somewhere truly special. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, and so many of our guests commented on what a lovely place it is and how perfect it was for our wedding.

A huge thankyou to the incredible team at Maidens Barn. From our very first meeting with Natalia, through to our final meeting with Mercedes, and everyone who looked after us on the day, the care, the kindness and attention to detail were second to none. Everyone went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and that we could simply relax and enjoy every moment - which we did!

We genuinely couldn't have wished for anyone else to be there to help make our day as perfect as it was. We felt so well looked after from start to finish. and we will always have the happiest memories of our wedding at Maidens Barn!

Thank you so much to the whole team for making our wedding day absolutely perfect! We could not recommend Maidens Barn highly enough!!!

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first visited Maidens Barn, right through to the morning after our wedding, we felt so well looked after by the whole team.

The staff are all incredibly friendly and welcoming, and you can genuinely tell that Maidens Barn is run by a team who really care about making your wedding day as special as possible. Communication throughout the whole planning process was excellent, and any questions we had were answered quickly and always with such helpful advice.

The wedding day itself was absolutely seamless. We felt completely cared for throughout the day, and the whole team worked so hard behind the scenes to make everything run smoothly. So many of our guests commented on the fantastic level of service and how friendly everyone was, which really says it all.

And, of course, the venue itself is absolutely beautiful. One of the things we always say is that we viewed Maidens Barn in pretty miserable, rainy, grey weather and still walked away completely in love with it — which we think is a pretty good sign! On our wedding day it looked absolutely stunning.

The accommodation was also fantastic, and the Wedding Cottage was amazing. We only wish we could have spent more time there! Staying on site made everything feel so much more relaxed, and breakfast the following morning was the perfect end to the whole experience. There was such a lovely, warm and homely feel to everything.

Maidens Barn will always be such a special place to us because it now holds so many happy memories from one of the most important days of our lives. We are so grateful to the entire team for helping make our wedding day everything we hoped it would be.

We would wholeheartedly recommend Maidens Barn to anyone looking for their wedding venue. You will be in incredibly safe hands. ❤️

We had the most incredible wedding day at Maidens Barn. From the moment we arrived, we knew we had chosen the perfect venue. The beautiful setting, charming surroundings and relaxed atmosphere created exactly the feel we had hoped for.

The team at Maidens Barn were fantastic throughout the whole experience. They were attentive, helpful and made sure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to enjoy the day without worrying about the little details.

Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the venue was, and we couldn’t agree more. It provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony, photographs and celebrations.

We are so grateful to everyone at Maidens Barn for helping make our wedding day so memorable. We would highly recommend it to any couple looking for a beautiful, welcoming and truly special wedding venue.

We really don’t know how to keep this short because there’s so much to cover but here goes…
Firstly, you guys made our day everything it was - perfectly & wonderfully seamless and full of joy. Every single one of you - Mercedes, Elliott, Sam, Alex & everyone else behind the scenes - you’re amazing, genuinely amazing. It is so clear that you love your job & your unwavering dedication to make our wedding as wonderful as it was. We’ve never worked with any supplier that was so forthcoming with info - every query we had in our minds was answered before we had a chance to ask it!
Mercedes, you work tirelessly & your devotion to making sure our day is everything it can be is unrivalled. And you do it all so effortlessly, with a beautiful smile on your face!
Elliott, you’re an absolute joy! It was like having a mate handle everything. Humour, love & ease with everything.
It’s all the little touches you probably don’t even realise you’re doing.

The catering - we’ve had so many people compliment the food & sheer amount of it. It was delicious & never ending! Even Big Tel (FoB) couldn’t believe the amount of food - IYKYK!!

The accommodation - those beds 😍 comfy on new levels! And everyone’s all in one place, a 15 second walk from where the party is at. Perfect!!
We are gutted we only got a few hours in the Honeymoon Cottage (due to running back to have brekkie with family/friends) - we could have stayed for a few days!!

Future brides & grooms - we’re actually jealous you get to experience your big day at Maidens Barn. We would do anything to do it all again. Genuinely.

We had the most fantastic wedding at Maidens Barn on 22.07.2026. It really was our dream fulfilled and the staff and venue were fundamental to this.

We chose maidens barn over other venues for its beautiful grounds, gorgeous ceremony room, the fact that all of the guests would stay in one close area on the day and its great menu choices. We also were particularly impressed with the vast number of guests who could stay on site and all were impressed with the Hayloft barn rooms and the beautiful breakfast served the next day.

From the moment we booked, our wedding felt like it was super important to the staff. They answered queries constantly, offered advice and were extremely accommodating to our requests. A particular note to mention how helpful and friendly Sam was throughout and how responsive Mercedes was on the email account. Thank you to both!

We were able to set up the day before which was a fantastic opportunity and being able to get the bride ready on site and the groom party able to arrive beforehand for some drinks was just incredible. Our guests being able to check in before the ceremony was also a huge benefit.

When our big day rolled around, it felt completely seamless. Sam was able to explain the running of the day and helped to calm the brides nerves and if anything did go wrong we were completely oblivious as a couple! The guests were kept happy with drinks and gorgeous canapés and the service during the reception was amazing. We were able to bring in our own DJ, Photo Booth and sweet treat table which gave us the evening extras exactly as we wished. Staff were accommodating with our favours being on tables and helped us move furniture around to accommodate our set ups too. A particular mention also to Elliot who was so kind and helpful on the evening and when we collected our things over the next few days.

We were asked only to remove chair covers on the evening which was easy to do and everything else was cleaned up and packed away by the staff which made our evening so seamless and meant we could enjoy right up to the final moment. Our stay in the honeymoon cottage was lovely and again, the staff were really helpful getting us there and left us some refreshments for the morning.

I could write more as I was so impressed by Maidens Barn and our guests were too! Thank you for making our wedding the very best day!

When we first booked maidens barn in 2024 for our wedding we instantly fell in love with the venue. The staff were so friendly and the grounds were immaculate. Throughout the planning process the staff were so good with answering questions and making changes when we had them. I arrived at maidens the day before to set up and Sam, Alex and Elliot were to help if we need, answering all my questions and going through what will happened the next day. We was able to set up and un pack, had the gorgeous granary to steam our dresses in. I can’t even put into words how amazing the day was, we’re still not over it and I don’t think we ever will be. The day ran so smoothly, nothing at all went wrong. The ceremony was beautiful, everything was timed perfectly The drinks at the drinking reception didn’t stop flowing, the staff made sure everyone had a full glass. The food by Host was incredible everyone was complimenting it and finishing everyone’s dinners. The whole day just went amazing. Even down to Elliot helping me with my dress when he dropped us off at the honeymoon cottage! I cannot fault the staff at maidens, they’re all brilliant at their jobs and you can truly see they care about what they do. The gardens and barn is so clean and well looked after. I highly recommend maidens to anyone looking to get married in the near future or for any event. We had the most magical day and a massive part of that was the staff. Thank you all again so much for everything!

If you are looking for a venue that combines rustic charm with a team that actually cares, use Maidens Barn.

We recently celebrated our wedding there, and perfect doesn't quite cover it. Not only the venue, but the team at Maidens Barn were on point. A massive thank you to Alex, Sam, Elliot, Natalia, and Mercedes. The way the entire team got involved was incredible—it felt like having a group of close friends help plan your big day.
It is seriously impressive how they managed to keep the venue looking stunning and the flow of the day seamless, even with the weather against us.

To the whole team, thank you for making this one of the best day of our lives.

See you at the anniversary party!

Leona & Nick

Thank you for the best day of our lives, memories we will cherish forever xx

My wife was enamoured with Maidens Barn just from their website, photos she’d seen posted, and the reviews she’d read, but of course we still wanted to view the venue in person before locking in a decision.

She was right.

We attended an open day in February 2024 and everything looked amazing. The staff were so friendly and helpful and the venue was beautiful. The team kindly invited us to visit again in a few weeks so my family could also have a look around, and likewise they loved the venue. We booked for our Feb 2026 wedding and never looked back.

Throughout the two-year process the team at Maidens Barn were communicative and professional every step of the way. We were probably quite needy but honestly the team couldn’t do enough for us.

We were lucky enough that the barn was not in use the day before our wedding, so we were invited to come and set up for our big day. We did so and being able to look around the venue again and get our decorations and things in place help to calm our nerves. We also got to test the music system with our setup and it was reassuring to know everything was ready to go.

On the day itself, everything went perfectly and we know this was due to the team working so hard behind the scenes. Our guests were full of praise for all of the team members who were friendly and professional throughout, and so very helpful. Everyone also loved the venue as much as we did – they were telling us how beautiful the barn looked and also how nice the onsite accommodation was.

The next morning we had a continental breakfast with our guests that was included in the price of the overnight stays. Everything was delicious and locally sourced and it was such a nice touch to round off the event. Again the guests spoke very highly of it.
After the wedding, without being asked Maidens Barn reimbursed the leftover drinks tab. The team are honest and hardworking and genuinely invested in giving you the best experience possible and making the day how you want it to be. They care about what it is you want and are incredibly flexible and passionate.

We are so glad we chose Maidens Barn for our special day and cannot thank their team enough. We have no reservations whatsoever in recommending this venue. Such a beautiful location and an amazing team who will not let you down!

From the very first moment we stepped into Maidens Barn, we knew we had found something truly special. The venue is breathtakingly beautiful — the barn itself is warm, romantic, and utterly gorgeous, creating the most magical and unforgettable setting for our wedding day.

Our first visit is a memory we will treasure forever. Elliot showed us around and provided our initial quote, and we can still remember the butterflies we felt as he walked us through the venue. He was so kind, patient, and genuinely caring, especially towards my disabled mum. The warmth, respect, and understanding he showed her meant more to us than we can ever put into words — it was one of the first moments where we knew this venue truly cared about people, not just weddings.

Elliot’s support didn’t stop there. Having him present and helping on the day itself meant so much to us. Seeing a familiar, friendly face who had been part of our journey from the very beginning was incredibly reassuring, and his continued care and attention helped everything run effortlessly.

A very special mention must also go to Alex and Natalia, who looked after us throughout the day. Their calm, caring presence and exceptional management made the entire day feel completely seamless. Everything flowed perfectly, and we never once felt stressed or rushed. They anticipated every detail, guided us gently through each moment, and allowed us to fully relax and be present — something we will always be grateful for.

The level of care and inclusivity shown by Maidens Barn is something we will cherish forever. We had visited several venues that claimed to be wheelchair accessible, but none of them compared. We had prepared ourselves for the possibility that my wheelchair-bound mum might miss parts of the day or be unable to fully take part — but Maidens Barn made absolutely sure that never happened. She didn’t miss a single moment and was even able to stay overnight comfortably. The facilities provided for her were genuinely better than what she has at home, which gave us an overwhelming sense of relief, gratitude, and joy.

From start to finish, every member of staff was accommodating, thoughtful, and deeply caring. Maidens Barn didn’t just host our wedding — they embraced our family, our needs, and our story. They gave us a day that was not only stunning, but inclusive, stress-free, and filled with love.

We will always hold Maidens Barn close to our hearts. They gave us memories we will treasure for a lifetime, and we cannot recommend this venue highly enough to any couple looking for somewhere truly extraordinary.

Recently had my wedding here and cannot write a single fault. Their responses to emails were impeccable and nothing was too much trouble. The whole day went without a single issue (as far as we are aware!).

We had Natalia and Alex on the day of our wedding and they were fantastic. Elliott and Joshua were there for the evening and were also just as fantastic.

100% recommend Maidens Barn as a wedding venue.
