Amelia Sent on 30/08/2026The perfect wedding venue!
We had such an incredible wedding day at Smeetham Hall Barn and would definitely recommend it 10/10.
We loved the venue from the first time we visited and we also liked the personal approach and flexibility from the get go (including being able to bring in our own alcohol for the reception drinks and wedding breakfast).
We were lucky enough to have our ceremony outside by the pond and it was a perfect day for us and our guests. The grounds are beautiful and so many guests commented on how much they liked the venue. We had so many great photo opportunities with the photographer too which we really enjoyed with our bridal party and family.
A BIG thank you to Sophie and Victoria for all their hard work and help. Sophie supported us with the planning from the beginning and was always there to answer our questions. Communication was great throughout and everything around the package and payments was clear and transparent from the start, which we appreciated.
They also coordinated with Splinters caterers and communicated with all the other suppliers when they arrived on the day. It meant we didn't have to worry about any of this.
On the wedding day Sophie and Victoria were superb! They kept me calm, everything ran smoothly and to plan. We could just enjoy our big day without worrying about anything at all. Tom also did a great job behind the bar and it was quick to get a drink, considering there were over 150 guests in the evening.
Sophie and Victoria, you both were amazing at our wedding. We couldn't have asked for better wedding coordinators!
Smeetham Hall Barn's reply:
What a read! Thank you so much to you both for this wonderful review. It was a fantastic day - The energy in the barn was exactly how you first described how you wanted your wedding to be and I am delighted that we fulfilled and exceed your expectations! Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness, love the SHB team x -

Tim Sent on 21/08/2026An amazing wedding day
Smeetham Hall Barn is the perfect wedding venue. We both fell in love with it as soon as we stepped onto the driveway. Victoria & Sophie are the absolute dream team to support you on your wedding day. They were so helpful and thoughtful that the day went off without an issue. They are incredibly quick to respond and know everything you need to know about the venue. Pair that with the amazing team at Splinters, and you really cannot ask for more.
We cannot recommend Smeetham Hall Barn enough!Smeetham Hall Barn's reply:

Alex Sent on 14/08/2026WOW What a venue
Smeetham hall is amazing.
We fell in love with this venue the moment we see it and had to book it for our wedding.
The staff are incredible, and will bend over backwards to help make your wedding a dream come true.
The barn and grounds are beautiful and very well looked after.
We booked a package wedding with smeetham so it included our wedding breakfast catering which by the way was also outstanding 👌🏻.
Smeetham hall is a family run venue and this immediately makes it feel more personal and less like a commercialised wedding.
Thank you Smeetham hall and all the team for making our wedding day so special xSmeetham Hall Barn's reply:
Thank you Alex - what kind words! It was a privilege to be apart of your big day - and what a special date it was, to be married on your 20th anniversary! HUGE congratulations to the two of you. Enjoy your honeymoon! Love the SHB team x -

Sophie Sent on 14/07/2026A Perfect Day!
From the moment we walked into Smeetham Hall Barn we knew it was the place we wanted to get married. Not only is it a stunning venue but Sophie and Victoria’s energy perfectly matched ours and we felt right at home.
Every question we had leading up to the wedding was answered quickly by Sophie and she reassured us at every step. We couldn’t have asked for more.
Once we got to the day, everything ran completely smoothly. It was a warm day but nothing was too much trouble and everything was done to make us as comfortable as possible.
The ceremony was out on the lawn and absolutely beautiful. The whole venue looked stunning. (It doesn’t need much in the way of decor, it speaks for itself!)
Zoe and Tom took over event coordination in the evening and we can’t sing their praises highly enough. They were so accommodating of the New Orleans street band we booked and the bar was fully stocked for our guests.
Our wedding couldn’t have gone smoother, everything was seamless and our guests all came to us to say what a brilliant time they had. This is all down to the amazing team at Smeetham Hall Barn. We would recommend it to anyone!Smeetham Hall Barn's reply:
Thank you for your review Sophie and Ben. It was a fantastic day to be apart of and we all really enjoyed being apart of it from when we met you nearly two years ago to the main day itself! The band were incredible, which was apparent with the full dance floor from your guests - we hope to have them back again soon. We look forward to seeing the photos and video soon. Love Victoria, Sophie, Tom and Zoe -

Annabel Sent on 25/06/2026The Wedding Venue of Our Dreams
We fell in love with Smeetham Hall Barn the first time we visited. It felt like we were being welcomed into a family. Victoria and Sophie were wonderful coordinators both during the planning phase and on the day itself. We felt very well supported, they replied promptly to our questions and are always calm and professional. The venue itself is stunning. It feels like stepping into a storybook when you drive past the lake and up to the barn. There are endless spaces for guests to enjoy, from the main barn and marquee to the front lawn and courtyard. We loved the no corkage, as this gave us flexibility with which drinks we wanted to bring. The catering company Splinters we're fantastic , the waiting staff were very attentive and there were numerous food options, all of them delicious. The facilities are also excellent. There is ample parking, clean and pretty bathrooms with an accessible loo too, and even a bridal room for getting ready pre-ceremony. We received a list of recommended suppliers and chose our florist, photographer, Ceilidh band, accessories and lighting from this list. We were thrilled with every single vendor. Our photographer had the best day finding beautiful parts of the venue to photograph and we have so many wonderful photos that we'll cherish forever. We couldn't have asked for anything more from Smeetham or Victoria and Sophie. Simply the best day and we're so grateful we chose Smeetham. We strongly recommend Smeetham to anyone wanting an exclusive venue with character, charm and warm, welcoming owners.Smeetham Hall Barn's reply:
Annabel and Alex, thank you for your incredibly kind words. I was delighted you chose SHB as your venue from the moment I first showed you around. Annabel you looked beautiful, the flowers, decoration, guests, drinks on the front lawn it was all perfect. Wishing you all the best for your married life together. Best wishes Victoria, Tom and Sophie X -

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding venue than Smeetham Hall Barn. From the very beginning, the whole team were so supportive, organised and genuinely invested in making our day everything we’d dreamed of.
A huge shoutout to Sophie, Victoria and Tom for all of their hard work, support and effort in the lead up to the wedding, as well as everything they did behind the scenes on the day itself. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and knowing everything was in such safe hands allowed us to completely relax and enjoy every moment.
The venue itself is absolutely stunning, and the whole day ran so smoothly thanks to the amazing team. We’re so grateful for everything you did to bring our vision to life and create such an unforgettable day for us, our family and our friends. Thank you so much!Smeetham Hall Barn's reply:
What a lovely review to read, thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! Your wedding was beautiful, your outside wedding on the front law with the sunshine (!) started it off perfectly and we cannot wait to see the photos when they are ready. We are so pleased you chose SHB and wish the three of you all the best. Victoria, Sophie and Tom -

Hannah Sent on 10/05/2026A beautiful venue with an incredible team!
When we first found Smeetham Hall Barn, we immediately fell in love with it and its beauty. The barn is absolutely gorgeous and provided the perfect setting for our wedding! Everything felt so naturally special from the moment we saw it. We initially met with Victoria to show us around and we loved that it would be a small team (herself, Sophie and Tom) who would be helping us plan and run the day! This gave the whole experience such a personal and thoughtful touch throughout.
We had such an amazing wedding day; it was truly magical and we couldn’t have asked for more. From start to finish, the SHB team were incredible. Throughout the planning process, they were always on hand to answer our questions, offer brilliant supplier recommendations, and help us navigate all the logistics of the day with ease.
On the wedding day itself, everything ran so seamlessly. The coordination was flawless, and it honestly felt effortless from our perspective; a complete dream. Many of our guests commented on how well-run and smooth the entire day was.
Most importantly, you took all the stress away from us, allowing us to be fully present and just enjoy every moment of our wedding.
We are so grateful for everything you did to make our day so special and would wholeheartedly recommend SHB to any couple planning their wedding. -
