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!Elms Barn's reply:
Thank you for such amazing comments it really does mean the world to us.
Your wedding was beyond stunning and reflected you as a couple so beautifully with all the personal touches you brought in. I especially loved that you chose to do a speech as the Bride and it was beautifully delivered.
I cannot wait to see what adventures you get up to in the future keep in touch and never stop dancing like no one is watching!

Our Wedding at Elms Barn – A Perfect Day
From start to finish, our wedding day at Elms Barn was nothing short of magical. The venue itself is breathtaking — full of character, charm, and natural beauty that made it feel both grand and intimate at the same time. The gardens were stunning, the barn was beautifully set up, and the entire atmosphere was everything we could have dreamed of and more.
A very special thank you to Ruth and Sarah, who went above and beyond to make sure everything ran seamlessly. Their kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail made us feel completely at ease throughout the whole process. From the planning stages to the final moments of the day, they were incredible — nothing was ever too much trouble, and their calm, reassuring presence meant we could truly relax and soak in every precious moment.
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.
Thank you x Mr & Mrs Warnes

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. 🤍Elms Barn's reply:
Thank you so much for this stunning review, I am so pleased we could help to create the wedding you both deserved. It was such a blast working this day and all your guests made everything so easy and really brought the energy on the dance floor. Keep in touch I cannot wait to see what you achieve together. Ruth xx -

Mr & Mrs Parr
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.Elms Barn's reply:
I am so pleased to read you had such a fantastic experience not just on the day but all the way through. I can only apologise that you now have in your wedding album that picture of me haha.
It was an absolute please to be a small part of your love story and to watch everything we had planned together become reality
Thank You
Ruth and everyone at Elms Barn xx -

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!Elms Barn's reply:
Thank you so much for these kind words they mean so much to us. I am so glad all of your guests enjoyed so much it is still talked about. You had a stunning winter wedding and I wish we could do it all over with you again

Our perfect wedding venue
From start to finish or experience with Elms Barn was nothing but professional, personal and truly magical. Ruth was amazing at helping us plan our special day the way we in-visaged it. Our day ran smooth from start to finish (thanks to Sarah, Ruth and the amazing team at Elms Barn)
They were nothing but accommodating not only during the planning stages but also on our special day. All of the little touches they did without being asked to I will forever be grateful for. I know every bride may say it but Elms Barn was the perfect venue we had been searching so long for. We would like to thank everyone at Elms Barn for making our wedding experience the best we could have wished for. Thank you.Elms Barn's reply:
Thank you so much for this amazing review. It was a joy to be part of your wedding and we will be talking out the cardboard cut out from the stag do for a long time! Completely Iconic Day start to finish -

Couldn’t recommend more!!
We had our wedding at Elms Barn, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. We booked with them after our first venue cancelled with us 6 months before the wedding. Elms Barn was incredibly flexible and was easily contactable throughout the whole process which put our minds to rest!
The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. From the initial planning stages to the day-of coordination, they were professional, attentive, and genuinely kind. Special thanks to Ruth for being so responsive and making us feel completely at ease. Everything felt so personal, like learning I was a swiftie and counting the Taylor Swift songs we played throughout the day! The staff got involved throughout the day including joining us on the dance floor throughout the night.
Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the food, the service, and the overall ambiance. Everything was exactly how we envisioned it—if not better. We got married in July and people are still talking about how amazing the food was(especially the chicken Caesar salad).
Being able to get ready on site made things so much easier and the morning was completely stress free. Having the venue for 3 day was definitely a game changer!
We truly couldn’t have asked for a more magical place to celebrate. Highly recommend Elms Barn to any couple looking for a breathtaking and stress-free wedding experience!Elms Barn's reply:
Thank you so much for this beautiful review it means the world to our whole team. We were honoured to be part of your day (and counting Taylor Swift tracks with you was a highlight! 🫶✨). Seeing you so relaxed, happy, and dancing the night away is exactly why we do what we do. Wishing you both a lifetime of love, laughter, and chicken Caesar salads! 💛 -

Vivien Sent on 18/09/2025Absolutely amazing vanue but they have the most unprofessional and arrogant florist you can meet in Suffolk & Norfolk.
Our wedding at Elms Barn was absolutely wonderful thanks to the incredible team there Chel’s food was amazing, Sarah, our day-of coordinator, was brilliant, the waiting staff were attentive and professional, and Ruth guided us perfectly through planning.
Unfortunately, our experience with their florist, Teena, was beyond disappointing. Unfortunately after you sign the contract you agreed you must use the house florist and no one else which made us nearly cancelling our wedding in the middle of organising as we didn’t know till meeting her she only orders her flowers from Holland. We had previous issues with communication and follow-through, which carried into the wedding day.
The day before, I had to pick up cosmos flowers (as she couldn’t source English meadow flowers) from another shop (The Southwould Flowershop Conpany) and had to incorporate them myself, even though Teena had agreed to do it. The two pillar arrangements were left visibly incomplete with minimal filling, and she never checked in before leaving. While we understand personal circumstances with her husband being ill, she could have sent a staff member to help especially we have payed £1000 when I have been quoted less from different florists for the same… but I would of ended up what I wanted originally but because of the contract that was impossible to do it so.
Our bouquets were also problematic. Just looked very monochrome focusing on 1-2 colour not what I was looking for. Did told to her on our meeting my main colours BUT did mentioned multiple times don’t be afraid of any different colours! But she is a very traditional old fashioned lady and you can’t tell her what to do because she knows best. We were fortunate to have purchased a second bouquet ourselves from the Flowershop Company (who have been really supportive with the situation with Teena and made me feel assured my feelings are valid and well reasoned.)
On the morning of the wedding, while I was getting ready, a window cleaner was outside, and because the curtains were open for lighting, I had to be mindful of him while preparing which wasn’t to bad but made me feel uncomfortable could of done it maybe an hour later when the ceremony starts… After that, our photographer informed us that Teena had complained to her about our dissatisfaction of her bouquet, which was upsetting. I ended up using it anyway in one of the vases as I know I already spent money on it as I had no choice.
While the florist caused the most stress, made me cry after both of our appointments, and was overall very disappointing and clearly cannot handle criticism as she had never received complaints before “as she claimed”
The rest of the day at Elms Barn was exceptional. They really have a great team behind them. We are deeply grateful to everyone else there who made our wedding beautiful and memorable.Elms Barn's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words about our venue, team, and catering we’re truly delighted to hear that your wedding day at Elms Barn was a memorable and joyful celebration.
We are, however, saddened to read your comments regarding our in-house florist, and we’d like to provide some clarification for the sake of accuracy.
All couples, including yourselves, are made aware before signing the contract that working with our in-house florist is a requirement and that a minimum spend applies.
Regarding the flower choices, cosmos were never unavailable, but our florist, who has 24+ years of experience, advised that, due to their delicate nature, they would not survive in an oasis arrangement as you had requested. For this reason, she cautioned against their use in bouquets and table pieces. Sadly, this proved correct when the cosmos you added in wilted before the wedding day began.
Our florist team met with you several times and did their best to interpret your vision within the agreed framework, and it’s important to acknowledge the care and pride they invest into every wedding they create.
We are genuinely pleased that the rest of your experience including the food, coordination, and overall service exceeded your expectations, and we thank you again for choosing Elms Barn.
We wish you both every happiness in your married life.
Warm regards,
Ruth & The Elms Barn Team -
