Wedding day✨
Our wedding at Hanbury Barns was nothing short of perfect — it truly was the day of our dreams, and we couldn’t be more grateful to the incredible team who made it all happen. From the moment we first visited the venue, we knew it was something special. The grounds were stunning, the atmosphere was magical, and every detail was beautifully thought out.
A huge thank you to Katie, our amazing wedding coordinator, who went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly — from being the calm and reassuring presence we needed in the morning, to racing to our pod because Gus had forgotten his speech! She was organised, kind, and always one step ahead, ensuring we could relax and enjoy every moment. Her warmth and professionalism made the entire planning process stress-free, and on the day itself, she was an absolute star — nothing was ever too much trouble.
Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the venue was and how seamless everything felt. From the ceremony to the evening celebrations, everything was flawless. We feel so lucky to have celebrated our day at Hanbury Barns, and we’ll cherish those memories forever.
Thank you again to Katie and the whole team for creating the most unforgettable experience — you truly made our wedding day magical! xxx -

Best venue ever
We had a perfect wedding at Hanbury Wedding Barn. We can't imagine our wedding elsewhere. Georgia, who was our wedding coordinator has been brilliant through our wedding process and was amazing on the day. Everyone who works at Hanbury is kind and helpful. There's lots of space in the venue to enjoy aswell. -

An amazing venue from start to finish!
When we first visited Hanbury, we were captivated by its charm and beauty—we fell in love instantly and knew without a doubt that it was the perfect venue for our special day. The stunning surroundings and elegant atmosphere made it feel truly magical, and we couldn’t imagine celebrating anywhere else.
From the moment we booked, Emily and the dedicated events management team were exceptional. They were always available to answer our questions, guide us through the planning process, and ensure that every detail was thoughtfully considered. Their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care made the entire journey stress-free and enjoyable.
On the big day itself, Emily’s presence was invaluable. She was there to offer support, coordinate the details, and make sure everything ran smoothly—allowing us to relax and fully enjoy every moment. Her calm and reassuring approach made all the difference, and we’re so grateful for her dedication in helping to bring our vision to life.
We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and feel so lucky to have had Hanbury and its incredible team as part of our wedding journey.-

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!!-
