Harriette Sent on 08/08/2022First class
I don’t think the words I’m trying to find even exist in the dictionary, to describe this truly breathtaking, spectacular, unique, initiate venue - VILLIERS BARN is out of this world and that’s all down to Juliet & Barry, the Venue owners & directors & their son Jonathan who offer a 7-star, first class service. All three are extremely passionate about their business & they go above and beyond from the moment we viewed, booked & then had our wedding (last Thursday), no job was too big for them.
We viewed VILLIERS during its renovation & as soon as we drove up the lane, there was something so very special about where we had just arrived, historic, traditional - but different from any other typical barn wedding venue I’d seen online / been to as a guest. VILLIERS holds something special & unique.
VILLIERS was the first & only venue we viewed - we knew it was the one for us. We went back to see progress & it just kept getting better and better. I can’t praise the venue, the setting, the owners & staff enough.
We had an Amalfi (Italian) Coast themed wedding, the barn is simply stunning & speaks for itself - our theme fitted in perfectly, but as would any other theme over the last year I’ve seen villiers host many weddings & no two weddings have been the same it’s incredible - versatile VILLIERS! 👏🏽
Every time we viewed VILLIERS after booking, I felt so choked in the ceremony room, the barn, by the lake as I just knew this was the only place I see myself getting married to my fiancé, our wedding day was perfect & we have had fabulous comments from family and friends - saying it was the best venue & best wedding they’d ever been to, spectacular settings & top class service and so well organised.
To Juliet, Barry & Jonathan and their wonderful staff - your passion shines through & we can’t thank you enough for having us & making our day perfect, I’m so sad our wedding day is over - but the memories we’ve created will last forever & will play out like a film in our minds.
I can’t recommend VILLIERS BARN enough, if you want the best wedding, then book the best venue.
Thank you all again,
Harriette & Charlie Blackshaw-Clare 🤍🍋💙 -

We cannot recommend Villiers Barn highly enough.
From the moment we first visited the venue, we felt a sense of comfort and belonging. Juliet, Jonathan, and Becky were incredible, treating us like part of their family. If you’re looking for a memorable wedding day without the stress of managing every little detail, this is the venue for you. You certainly won’t regret it. They addressed even the smallest inquiries and responded to our emails without hesitation, making everything feel effortless.
The day itself was flawless. It exceeded our wildest dreams, and our guests echoed the same sentiments about the exceptional service. Every staff member at Villiers Barn was incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel like family rather than clients. When we needed to make last-minute additions to our plans (on the day), Jonathan made it happen without a second thought.
For anyone considering Villiers Barn for their special day, do it. You’ll find not just a venue, but a team of people who are genuinely invested in making your wedding what you dreamt of.
Thank you for creating the most perfect, magical day EVER for us.
All our love,
Grace & Charlie Watts xxxxx -

Villiers Barn and the team were absolutely amazing, from the moment that we went to view the venue right up to the big day, nothing was too much trouble & everyone was so welcoming and friendly. They felt like family from the moment we met.
Our wedding day was absolutely fantastic all thanks to the team, they helped with everything and made the day run smoothly. Their warm and welcoming nature and kindness made us feel right at home.
All our guests had so many compliments about the venue, the staff and the food, it truly was a wonderful day, it was everything we had wished for and more! I really hope one day we can return as guests ourselves so we get to enjoy it all over again.
There are not enough words to explain how thankful we are for Juliet, Jonathan, Becky & the whole team at Villiers’s
We would highly recommend Villiers to any future bride and groom & to any of our friends or family who are planning on getting married!Villiers Barn's reply:

We viewed a few venues suggested to us by our wedding planner and as soon as walked into Villiers Barn we knew it was the one.
The team were so friendly and it had the exact vibe we were after with a stunning barn, beautiful ceremony room and lush outdoor space.
Throughout the process the team were super responsive and communicative with both us and our wedding planner. Even when we had to postpone a year due to a move abroad, they did everything to ensure it all still went to plan.
As for the day, it was magical. Everything we could have wanted and more. The staff were so helpful, friendly and supportive. The weather was perfect which made the venue shine and every single one of our guests commented on how beautiful it was.
The food was also amazing having catered for both meat eaters and vegetarians/vegans. We were stuffed by the end of the day!
We are so so happy and will never forget the day we had! Thanks so much Villiers Barn!Villiers Barn's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words and detailed review Cam & Rob, it was a true pleasure to host your celebration after meeting you all those years ago! And what a celebration it was!
We wish cherish those memories made with us, and hope to see you both again in the near future, love all the team at Villiers Barn -

We had the pleasure of celebrating our special day at Villiers Barn, and I can honestly say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The venue itself is stunning—beautifully rustic with charming details that create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff at Villiers Barn were absolutely wonderful; they were extremely kind, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Their professionalism combined with genuine friendliness made us feel truly cared for. If you're looking for a picturesque, welcoming, and well-managed wedding venue, I highly recommend Villiers Barn. It truly made our celebration unforgettable!

Charlotte Sent on 02/06/2025The most beautiful experience!
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding than Villiers Barn. From the start, Juliet, Jonathan and Becky were so kind, attentive and endlessly helpful throughout the entire planning process. No question was ever too much trouble (and I had plenty!), and they always made us feel completely at ease.
They have the ability to make every element feel so personal and made us feel like we were the only couple to ever get married there. Not once did it feel like a production line or that we were being “churned out.” Every detail was handled with care, and it felt like our day from start to finish.
The venue itself is stunning and we had so many compliments from guests about the beautiful grounds, the gorgeous barn, and delicious food. The brownie is a must!
The whole experience was genuinely flawless. We can’t thank the Villiers Barn team enough for helping to create the most perfect day of our lives xx -

21st March Spring Wedding 🩷
Where do I even begin with this beautiful venue?! From the very first visit to Villiers Barn, we knew this was the venue for us! The whole family were super friendly and helpful when showing us around after the first viewing we were hooked and knew we had to have our wedding here!
Throughout the whole year Jonathan was especially helpful with all the communications, questions and on hand to help with anything, nothing was too much trouble!
When it came to the wedding day everything happened with such ease, Jonathan, Becky and Ellen were on hand and made the day super smooth including the help setting up the venue making it perfect!! They gave us the wedding day of our dreams! It couldn't have been more perfect and everyone was so attentive in getting our drinks, taking us where we needed to be, the food was INCREDIBLE also and will be dreaming of that for a lifetime! Also the new seating area outside with the log heart is a lovely touch!
I couldn't recommend this venue highly enough and can't thank everyone at Villiers for the most memorable day!Villiers Barn's reply:
Our lovely Chloe & Nick! We are so incredibly thankful for the indepth review you have left for us all. We can honestly say you will both hold such a special place in our hearts, and the memories you have made with us we will cherish forever!
We hope to welcome you back soon, and have no doubt your future together will be filled with love, laughter and happiness.

29.03.25 - the perfect day!
Where to begin?! Villiers barn is such a beautiful wedding venue inside and out, the grand barn is incredible and the grounds are stunning! The separate spaces for the different parts of the day are brilliant; the bridal suite has everything you need for the morning and the honeymoon lodge looking across the water is idyllic.
The team are absolutely fantastic, from first viewing through to the wedding itself, they were all so friendly and helpful. We had the most incredible day, it was so well organised and the staff were so attentive to us and all our guests. Everything was taken care of, we didn’t have to worry about a thing! Honestly couldn’t recommend Villiers enough, it is such a special place. Thank you so much to all the wonderful staff!!

Amazing Venue
5 stars is not enough. We got married here on 22nd March 2025 and from the moment we booked the whole team were so responsive and helpful. The whole day went so smoothly thanks to the incredible team. A big thank you to you all for helping set the venue up exactly as we wanted and talking the time to ask questions where needed. The food was delicious and the portions were perfect, we received comments all day long from our guests saying how much they enjoyed all the food and drink on offer. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. Neither ourselves or our guests wanted for anything all day long as the service was outstanding. Truly thank you for helping us have one the best days of our lives.Villiers Barn's reply:
The most incredible couple! What an honour it was to be part of your special day! You are the kindest people and we have no doubt your future is going to be full of so many beautiful memories.
Thank you for everything and we cant wait to see you all again soon!
Love all the team at Villiers -

Our dream wedding venue!
Wow where do we even begin?
We got married at Villiers Barn in December & it was truly our dream venue. After visiting a few venues in Essex & Suffolk (which hadn’t ticked all our boxes), Villiers was the last venue we visited & wow we did save the best until last! The venue itself is gorgeous and suitable for any wedding across the seasons. The venue has a mix of a classic/rustic feel but also really modern and elegant. We fell in love as soon as we saw it. Juliet showed us around initially & we fell in love with her too!! She is so passionate about what she does & cares so much about you, making you feel so welcome! She makes you feel so special and taken care of. We loved that Villiers is also a family run business & knew this was the venue for us.
We really can’t fault the Villiers Barn Team.…Jonathan was BRILLIANT at providing information and responding to all our questions over the two years we spent planning. His replies were always so quick and this was honestly so reassuring for us, and made us feel like we were in very safe hands. He arranged our taster evening for us (which we highly recommend) where we essentially had a private dinner date at the venue, tasting the food options. He also helped arrange any visits we wanted at the venue in the lead up.
Becky helped us to set up the day before our wedding & also co-ordinated the wedding day for us with Juliet. We can’t thank Becky enough for all the help, support & love she showed not only us but all our bridal party and guests. She went above and beyond to make sure everything ran seamlessly for us (along with the rest of the Villiers team we had on the day).
The day itself ran so smoothly, with all our guests complimenting us on how beautiful the venue was. Even in the storm, wind & rain, the venue is just beautiful. We also had such delicious food that came out piping hot - all our guests were raving about how good the food was throughout the day.
At the end of the wedding day, we stayed in the honeymoon lodge accommodation which was so convenient & so lovely waking up the next morning with breakfast already prepared for us.
We really had the best day and are so grateful to everyone at Villiers Barn! We can't thank you enough! We really hope we get to visit again as guests for a wedding in the future.
Lots of love from Mr & Mrs Stanway xxVilliers Barn's reply:
Mr & Mrs Stanway!
We are completely lost for words after you leaving us such a beautiful detailed review from your special day!
It was a true pleasure getting to know you both so personally over the years of wedding planning, and we couldn't be happier you had the wedding day you had always dreamed of.
Wishing you both a happy life together, and do hope we get to welcome you back to Villiers again in the near future, love all the team at Villiers -
