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.

The best day of our life's (grooms words)



We had our wedding at Sissons Barn and honestly, it was nothing short of perfect! From the very first visit to the big day itself, the whole team went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly. Their attention to detail was incredible – they truly cared about making our day as special as possible.

Every member of staff was so warm, friendly, and genuinely enthusiastic about making our wedding magical. They were always on hand to help, keeping everything organised without ever making us feel rushed. We felt completely supported, and they made every single guest feel welcome and valued, which so many people commented on afterwards.

The day flowed seamlessly, and that’s all down to the dedication and professionalism of the team. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or better people to share our wedding with. If you want a beautiful setting, a stress-free experience, and a team who genuinely want the very best for you, Sissons Barn is the place to be!

10/10!! Best venue

We cannot fault the staff and barn! From the first day visiting to the day of the wedding, they were all round fantastic. Communication was brilliant and no question was a silly question! On the day, everything flowed seamlessly with no hiccups, staff were professional and friendly with big smiles. All of our guests complimented the beauty of the barn and how fantastic the staff and running of the day was. The barn provide so many special moments from the sunset tractor ride to the copper leaf. We cannot fault Sissons! 10/10 in all areas

Flawless - Our dream wedding brought to life

We simply could not have asked for better service. From the moment we booked just under a year before, Ben, Laura and the team were incredible — calm, organised, and always one step ahead. Every detail was covered to perfection, and their accommodating approach made the whole planning process a joy. We arranged catch-up meetings at our own pace, and nothing was ever too much trouble.

The venue itself is absolutely stunning — beautifully maintained and full of charm. Simply being perfect for pictures. Our guests were blown away by how flawless everything looked and ran. So many commented on how smoothly the day flowed and how perfect the setting was.

The food, provided by Beetroot Catering, was OUTSTANDING. We’re still receiving compliments weeks later! The pizzas in the evening were also a massive hit. The staff were attentive and professional, but discreet — always available without being intrusive.

The vintage tractor ride provided by the venue was such a lovely and memorable touch, adding a unique and personal element to the day. We were especially grateful for the attention to detail — the gesture of setting up both the Union Jack and American flag as a tribute to our love story was incredibly thoughtful. We couldn’t have appreciated those little details more.

Sissons Barn truly made our day unforgettable. We can’t recommend it highly enough!

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.
