Hannah Sent on 18/11/2025The most perfect day!
We got married here in September and had the most amazing day. Not only is the venue beautiful, the staff could not have been more helpful leading up to the day, and on the day itself - helping with styling decisions, how we would adjust the day depending on the weather, amongst so many other things. We had so many comments from guests saying how well run things were, down to the smallest details. Would highly recommend to anyone who is considering having their wedding here - it could not have been more perfect! :) -

Becky Sent on 23/09/2025Absolutely fantastic venue and team
Cissbury Barns is an absolutely stunning venue and we could be happier that we picked it as our wedding venue.
Firstly, the team are exceptional. They are so organised and made us feel totally relaxed on our wedding day and during the build up. They run an incredibly slick operation and don’t miss a thing. The whole team including Michelle, Charlie, Etta and Geoffrey are so committed and passionate about what they do.
The venue itself has everything you could ask for. We loved the fact that everything was all in one location which made things so much easier on the day and for our suppliers. They also have recommended suppliers who are fantastic and have a great relationship with Cissbury which again makes the whole process so much easier and smoother.
Cissbury is absolutely beautiful - you really don’t need any additional styling elements. We were lucky enough to have our ceremony outside which was breathtaking. They also have a ceremonial barn which is just as stunning so we felt very lucky to have this as a wet weather option.
We would highly recommend Cissbury Barns, we feel so lucky we found this venue and team.
Thank you to the Cissbury team xxxx -

A Beautiful Venue with an Incredible Team
Cissbury Barns is a truly beautiful venue with stunning views, a ceremony space beneath the trees and barns that hardly need any extra decoration. We loved the option of moving the ceremony indoors if the weather changed, which gave us real peace of mind. The layout also worked perfectly for our day as the outdoor seating, bar and dance floor are all close together. It felt inclusive and our guests could easily move between spaces without anyone feeling separated.
The team at Cissbury were fantastic from start to finish. Christine was always quick to respond and worked closely with us to make sure every detail was covered. The master event schedule they provided helped us stay organised and ensured everything ran smoothly. On the day itself Christine and the team were so supportive and we felt completely looked after.
We chose our caterers from the recommended list and the food was absolutely outstanding. If the rest are of the same quality, couples are in for a real treat.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Cissbury Barns to anyone looking for a wedding venue. It is a beautiful place with a professional and caring team who helped us create the day we had hoped for. -

Stunning Venue!
Wow, what can I say - Cissbury Barns is an absolutely stunning venue that will forever hold a special place in our hearts. The variety of spaces and the freedom to add our own touches meant so much to us. From our very first viewing, the team’s passion and enthusiasm made it clear this was where we wanted to celebrate the best day of our lives. I gave Christina and the team the most detailed master event pack imaginable, yet they executed everything flawlessly and brought our vision to life. The entire team was fantastic, from initial enquiry through to the day itself - we truly cannot thank you enough! -

We had the most wonderful experience with Cissbury! From start to finish, the planning process was so easy and stress‑free. Michelle was incredibly helpful every step of the way – from our very first visit to the venue right through to helping with all the organising details and of course on the actual wedding day.
The venue itself is absolutely stunning setting, with a truly beautiful space and the perfect blank canvas to make our day feel completely personal and unique.
On the day, the whole team were amazing. They worked so hard behind the scenes to make sure everything ran seamlessly, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment.
We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our wedding. We would 100% recommend Cissbury to anyone looking for a breathtaking setting and a supportive, professional team! -

Amazing team and a stunning venue for a wedding!
Helen & Michelle were always helpful and on hand for any questions throughout the months of planning with suggestions and ideas whenever we needed, and really made the process seamless and as stress free as possible.
On the day, the entire team were invisibile but making everything run perfectly in the background.
We could not imagine a team out there more hands on and supportive.
The venue itself is beautiful and feels so natural in it's environment, surrounded by amazing views and fields. The ceremony barn feels intimate and spacious at the same time and the outside areas were perfect for all our guests to enjoy the day together.
We would 100% recommend any form of celebration at Cissbury. -

Helen Sent on 06/07/2025If getting married in West Sussex, this should be your venue
If you're getting married in West Sussex, I really feel like Cissbury Barns is the perfect place. Especially cause it's so set up for British weather! You have the option of an indoor or outdoor ceremony. There's loads of beautiful outdoor space for a good weather day, and still cover for shade, or potentially more likely, rain. We got both on the day, so really got to experience it's full potential!
The barns are lovely, the bar area is great, the staff are amazing. I especially loved that as I was the bride whenever I went near the bar they immediately looked at me to get me a drink. In day to day life for some reason I'm so slow to get served, and that felt oddly special.
Of course the area is great with fields as well, and we even got to see a horse when we did a mini walk for photos. I love that tables and chairs are included in the cost, as some places charge extra.
There is phone signal for anyone that forgets to order a taxi as well. And it sounds silly, but even the toilets are nice. They look nice, and are clean obviously, but we saw some other lovely barns but very meh toilets. And they have little extras for guests in there and also a bigger stall for the bride for is she has a big dress or needs someone else in there to help with their dress!
Then, the staff. When we got showed around, it was Helen as much as the barns that sold us. She gave us such a great run through of the day that we could tell we would be taken care of and you could just picture it all happening. She had all the answers to any questions we may have had before we even asked them, which gave us so much confidence.
Communication on the build up to the wedding was great, and we were advised it would be Michelle who was then looking after us on the day. She answered all my hundreds of emails and helped everywhere possible. We didn't have anyone coming in to help with decorative things (which in my opinion, the barns are so nice as they are it's really not necessary to be adding more, which is a win!), but they were kind enough to help with doing the chair covers and any little bits we had for us, rather than us having to do it ourselves.
And Michelle was so good on the day and just really making sure everything ran smoothly, she was great at organising everyone, giving encouragement and also firmly instructing people when we were faffing to make sure it didn't all run away from us. And flowers got moved around and things cleared away as it happened, so it always looked fab and also everything was ready for us to take away the next day.
I've been on honeymoon since, but I've heard my family have still been in touch with regards to any lost items and extra bits and they've still been taking care of us.
I can't recommend enough :)
