Fabulous venue

We had the most incredible day and we cannot thank Ben and Laura enough. From our very first viewing to the wedding day itself, they have been incredible and supportive - nothing was too much trouble. They go above and beyond! They take the time to get to know you as a couple so that they can make sure your day is personal! All of their staff are friendly and felt like part of our day - dancing behind the bar, smiling and being accommodating!
We chose this venue because it was like no other venue we had been to see (we saw a lot!). We could not have been more pleased with our decision; there were so many personal touches and extras that you just don’t get anywhere else - the tractor ride and leaf! We would 100% recommend them to anyone!

Perfect Day!

From the first time we arrived at Sissions Barn we were greeted with amazing personal service. Nothing was rushed and we had not even booked yet.
Once we had decided on the Barn for our venue nothing was too much trouble, both Laura and Ben were on hand when required to answer our queries and keep us on track. Their expertise helped us to remain calm and plan the day we wanted.
We had the Barn all day before our wedding day to dress tables, again Laura was on hand to answer any questions we had.
The day, was simply everything we hoped for and more. We had so many compliments for our guests about the venue and the food. Laura had a solution to every problem from wasp stings to broken sandles.
From the bottom of our hearts thank you for giving us the most wonderful memories of our wedding day.

Staggs Wedding (23.05.26)

From the moment we booked our wedding at Sissons Barn, the whole team made the planning process feel effortless. They were incredibly accommodating to every request we had, and nothing ever seemed like too much trouble.

The meetings leading up to the wedding, along with their fantastic communication throughout, made everything so easy and stress-free. Ben and Laura were absolutely amazing—they made us feel so comfortable from the very beginning and answered every question we had promptly and thoroughly.

On the wedding day, they were incredibly supportive, organised, and calm, ensuring everything ran smoothly so we could simply enjoy every moment. Their attention to detail and professionalism were outstanding.

The venue itself is absolutely stunning, and the food was incredible. We received so many compliments from our guests about both the beautiful setting and the quality of the food.

Sissons Barn truly went above and beyond to make our day perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or team, and we would recommend Sissons Barn to anyone looking for an unforgettable wedding venue. Thank you for making our day so special!

Wow! Perfect evening

I booked Sissons Barn for a special birthday party with a sit down dinner. Ben and Laura couldn’t have been more helpful from planning until after the night and on hand throughout. The staff were efficient but unobtrusive. Keith’s menus were vast and catered for kids, gluten and lactose free.
The setting was lovely with plenty of outside seating in the beautiful gardens.
All my guests were very complementary.
I would definitely recommend Sissons Barn as a venue for your event

The Dream Venue

We honestly couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue than Sissons Barn. From the moment we booked until the final moments of our wedding day, everything was seamless, stress-free, and truly special.

A huge part of that was down to Ben and Laura. As owners who have been through the wedding experience themselves, they brought such a personal and relatable touch to every step of the journey. Their knowledge, guidance, and calm approach meant we never had to worry about a thing. They knew exactly what they were doing and were always on hand with advice, reassurance, and practical solutions, making the whole process feel effortless.

The venue itself is stunning, with so many unique touches that make the day unforgettable. One of our favourite moments was the tractor ride through the fields and along the river – such a fun and memorable experience, and a fantastic opportunity to take in the beautiful surroundings and capture some incredible photos. It's those little touches that make Sissons Barn stand out from other venues.

The venue is beautiful, but it's the people behind it that make it truly exceptional. We felt completely supported throughout and were able to relax and enjoy every moment of our day knowing everything was in safe hands.

It was genuinely one of the best experiences we've ever had, and we're already missing being there. Sissons Barn will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we can't thank Ben and Laura enough for helping create memories that will last a lifetime.

September sunshine wedding

We visited Sissons Barn for an open day in January 2025 and were impressed by what was on offer; a charming rural venue, modern but traditional building and tasty food. On arrival, the log burner was ablaze and there was a warm welcome. We also noted that modern air conditioning was installed for use in warmer weather.

We visited a couple of other venues but came back to Sissons Barn due to its location and our interest in supporting the rural economy and farm diversification. Other venues seemed to lack the style and sophistication we were seeking and in this respect, Sissons ‘hit the mark’. Once we had our date, everything fitted into place. We were guided by Ben & Laura and were impressed with how the day went. Our guests enjoyed drinks and canapés on the front lawns whilst we enjoyed photos in the gardens, a short tractor ride and a few glasses of bubbles. This was followed by a tasty 3 course meal prepared by Chef Keith and served up by Holly and team.

Our evening grazing table was of notable quality. The cheeses were particularly good and many guests commented on the quality of the evening foods. Everyone was suitably catered for with good service and enjoyed our wedding celebration. Thank you for a lovely day.

An incredible day!

Sissons is a stunning venue, with a lovely, relaxed feel to it. Ben, Laura and the staff are the consummate professionals - both in the lead-up and on the day itself. They clearly know what they're doing - everything ran like clockwork - but they do it in such a relaxed way, you never feel like you're being rushed for anything or having to stick to a regimented schedule- despot needing to of course ;)
Adding in the tasting evening prior to the wedding and no change or request being too much for them, we just can't recommend them highly enough.
All we can say is, put Sissons on your short list and check them out before you make your final decision.

A Magical Wedding 🥂

Sissons Barn

A Dream Wedding at Sissons Barn 💕🥂

From the moment we arrived at Sissons Barn, we were swept away by its rustic charm and romantic setting. Nestled in the countryside with serene views along the river, it was everything we had hoped for — and more.

Ben’s words of wisdom, “trust the process and follow my guidance,” rang true throughout our journey and none more so With the bride's entrance. With Ben and Laura by our side, everything felt possible — and somehow, it always was. Their support was unwavering, their energy infectious, and their attention to detail truly remarkable. Helpful, friendly, and genuinely engaging, they made us feel not just cared for, but understood.

We cannot speak highly enough of the entire team, the stunning venue, and the exceptional catering staff of Beetroot Caterers. Holly, in particular, was superb — attentive, gracious, and a true professional on front of house. Our guests showered us with compliments, echoing our own feelings about the day.

To Ben and Laura: the biggest of heartfelt thanks. Through this process, we feel like we’ve gained not just a perfect wedding day, but two wonderful new friends. We recommend Sissons Barn with all our hearts — it’s a place where magic truly happens. ❤️

If anyone is contemplating a wedding, don't hesitate, go and have a look & chat, there are many open days too.

Wonderful venue, incredibly helpful hosts

Ben and Laura could not have been more helpful. From day one we felt welcome at the venue and knew they would look after us and help us to create a very special wedding. Their insight and expertise were invaluable throughout the planning process and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking to book a beautiful wedding venue.

We couldn’t have hoped for a better experience!

We had the pleasure of having our wedding ceremony and reception at Sissons in August 2025. We booked in 2022 after viewing a couple other venues and then walking into Sissons and just instantly knowing it was the place for us. Ben and Laura are incredible - they looked after us and were on hand from the moment we walked into the venue in 2022 to the morning after our wedding day. Everything ran smoothly, when the weather turned the guys were on it within minutes getting decorations inside etc. We couldn’t have wished for a better venue or better hosts - thank you both!

The most perfect day

We cannot even begin to thank Ben and Laura for going above and beyond on our big day. Sissons barn is the most beautiful venue and it is family run which makes it all the more personal and special. They both worked their socks off day and night to make sure everything from music, drinks and cocktails, tables being moved and reorganised, windows cleaned and the grass cut to perfection. They both allowed us the pleasure of exploring their family space to have photos taken which are just incredible outside their house and in the gardens. Truly an outstanding venue and excellently priced also. During the day I didn’t even see all of the behind the scenes organisation going on it flowed perfectly and discreetly it was fantastic. Huge huge thank you. Our photos are just magical!

The perfect venue for a perfect day!

We could not have chosen a more perfect venue than Sissons Barn for our wedding reception. From the very first visit, the relaxed, warm and friendly hosts (Ben and Laura) made us feel so welcome and completely at ease. Their professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care shone through every step of the way, and nothing was ever too much trouble.

The barn itself is absolutely stunning, set in the most beautiful, countryside surroundings, that gave us the charm and relaxed elegance we envisaged. Everything ran seamlessly on the day thanks to the team’s incredible organisation and attention to detail – we didn’t have to worry about a thing.

The in-house catering team (Beetroot Catering) provided the most delicious food. Every plate was beautifully presented, full of flavour, and thoroughly enjoyed by all of our guests. The catering team were attentive, professional, and went above and beyond to make the dining experience memorable.

Our expectations were exceeded in every way, and we had the most wonderful, joy-filled day. The feedback from our guests has been nothing short of fabulous; everyone commented on how special the venue was and how well looked after they felt.

We will forever be grateful to the Sissons Barn team for helping to create memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. If you are looking for the perfect wedding venue – with outstanding food from Beetroot Catering – look no further. This place is truly exceptional and will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Hi, I’m Ben, along with my wife Laura, we’ve been hosting weddings on our family farm for over 14 years. We built Sissons Barn in 2019 to bring all that experience to life, whilst adding our own personal touches to every corner of the venue. We love making couples dreams come true, whether through decorations, food, or the magic of a personal ceremony. One of my favorite parts of the day is taking the couple out for their golden hour photoshoot, we have a lot of fun and create unbelievable memories together.

Hi, I’m Laura, I’ve always had a passion for creating beautiful spaces, and at Sissons Barn I’ve poured that love into designing all our gardens and shaping the barn itself, even drawing inspiration from Westminster Hall in London for our stunning hammer beams. I love making sure every couple’s day runs smoothly and one of my favorite moments is spending time with them just before the ceremony, it’s those special moments and the joy and excitement we share with each couple that make this work so enjoyable.
