    What a beautiful spot to get married!

    We got married at Southlands Sep25 and had THE BEST experience. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. Southlands team who helped us with the planning is incredibly helpful and accommodating. From the first viewing up until the day after the wedding they have been treating us like part of the family! The planning months have gone really smoothly, and they were incredible on the wedding day - taking care of all the details and working with suppliers based on our requests. We would not have changed a thing!

    WE LOVED IT! 💖 The most gorgeous venue & amazing staff

    We honestly can’t recommend Southlands Barn enough! We had other venues lined up to view, but as soon as we walked into Southlands (our very first viewing!) we instantly fell in love with the stunning countryside setting, the cows in the fields, the beautiful peacocks wandering around, and most of all, the warmth and energy of the team. We cancelled all our other viewings that same day because we just knew this was the one.

    From start to finish, the whole experience was incredible. The team at Southlands are absolute stars, so helpful, organised, and genuinely lovely to work with. The wine tasting night was such a brilliant touch as it gave us a real feel for what a wedding there would be like. Being able to bring four guests along made it such a fun and memorable evening and helped us pick our wedding wines in style.

    One of the biggest highlights for us was having the venue from Friday to Sunday. It meant we could take our time with setup, do all our own DIY styling, and save on the cost of decorators or stylists. It also gave us the chance to host tea and cake on the Sunday for a relaxed take-down day with family and friends, which was such a lovely way to round off the weekend.

    Southlands are also incredibly flexible when it comes to suppliers, which made a huge difference. We weren’t tied to specific caterers or limited in our choices for photographers, florists, or other suppliers, so we were able to make the day completely personal to us. Every detail reflected us, and that’s something we’ll always be grateful for.

    The free shuttle service for guests staying locally is such an amazing extra touch and another example of how thoughtful and guest-focused the team are.

    Our day was absolutely perfect from start to finish, and we had so many compliments from guests on how beautiful the venue was and how amazing the team were on the day. We truly can’t thank everyone at Southlands Barn enough for making our wedding weekend so special 💖

    Wonderful Wedding Venue!

    The most wonderful venue! Can't say enough good things about it. My daughter got married there on 26 June 2025 and it was perfect. The venue has so many different rooms, so guests can choose to dance, talk, relax or simply roast s'mores over the fire. The outdoor space is lovely, lots of green space and even cows to add ambience. But, even better than all this, are the kind and thoughtful people who run the venue. Nothing is too much trouble for them, and they go out of their way to make this special day perfect. Thank you all so much!!

    A stunning place for our daughter’s picture perfect wedding in May. The most professional and kind people catered for every possible need and anything more that could have been wanted was provided in a calm and beautiful manner. I could not recommend Southlands Barns highly enough. Just an amazing wedding experience in every way.

    Exceptional!

    Our wedding in October 2024 was perfect, thanks to the staff and Southlands. It may sound cliché, but they genuinely made us feel like part of the family from the moment we went for our first viewing to them helping us pack up the next day.

    They went above and beyond which made our day even more memorable. The venue and surrounds are incredible, and the staff could not do enough for us to make the day run seamlessly.

    We only viewed one venue, and it was Southlands. We're so glad we did, it's the best wedding planning decision we made.

    Thank you to all of you, we cannot recommend Southlands enough!

    Mr and Mrs Knight

    From the moment we knew Southlands barn would make our day special, the team were absolutely amazing. From how the barn is decorated to the kind and thoughtful hospitality from all the staff, we felt right at home. Our guests said it was the most magical venue and we loved the countryside vibe. We had the most perfect day and would go back to Southlands barn to do it all again if we could.

    The best venue

    We had the most amazing day for our wedding at Southlands Barn. I work in weddings myself so I have seen a lot of venues in action. And I can honestly say Southlands Barn is not only the best venue visually but the staff are incredible. I cannot recommend this place anymore!!!

    The dream wedding venue!

    We had the best day of our lives at our wedding in May and we can’t thank the amazing team at Southlands Barn enough!

    We fell in love as soon as we walked through the doors for a tour (even with horrific January weather) and Amy was just so helpful through the whole planning process.

    The wine tasting evening a couple of months before was such a fun and special evening (great atmosphere and lots of amazing wines to try).

    Setting up the day before was a really lovely, relaxed experience (and we loved the fact you had the venue for 3 days). Sitting down with Jackie and Liv to do a run through of everything at the end of the day meant we had no nerves or worries at all.

    On the wedding day the team made everything run so smoothly from start to finish. From a ridiculous pre-6am start for Jackie who let us into the prepping parlour first thing, to us being given a lift back to our cottage in the village once all the guests had gone home at the end of the night. Just the best!

    All of our guests absolutely loved the venue and having all the different areas was amazing (the games room was never empty!).

    We felt so looked after and honestly loved every second of the lead up and the day itself. Thank you so much Jackie, Liv, Amy, Phil (the best MC!), Jamie and Harvey (and not forgetting the peacocks!). Most amazing team and venue ever!

    August wedding at Southlands Barn

    We got married at Southlands Barn in August 2024. We found them at a wedding fair arranged to go to the Barn and when we got there immediately fell in love with it.
    The setting is perfect, the barns are stunning. The staff could not be any friendlier or more helpful. They put us at ease and helped make the day run as smoothly as possible as well as making it special.
