THE best wedding venue

As soon as we met Ben, we knew Sissons barn would be the venue we would pick! Ben made us feel so comfortable from the very beginning. We had a few mishaps in the road but Ben, Laura and Alex went above and beyond to help. We couldn’t have picked a better venue. The scenery was beautiful and the support from the team was fantastic all the way throughout the planning. If anyone needs a wedding venue around the Cambridgeshire area, I’d highly recommend Sissons barn to anyone!

A venue with a really special spark!

We had our wedding at Sissons Barn on 10th August 2024 after booking back in January 2021. Sissons was the only venue we looked at, as soon as we walked through the doors and met with Ben to show us around we knew it was the right place for us. With the choice of 3 areas to have the ceremony, an absolutely beautiful barn in equally gorgeous surroundings, we had a search online afterwards to find something to compare it to and nothing anywhere locally came close.

Ben, Laura and Alex were all fantastic, answering any questions we had along the planning stages, meeting with us on a couple of occasions to ensure they totally understood our requests and requirements for the day.
The day itself was perfect. Unknown to us, a few hiccups happened along the way, but Alex and Ben quickly solved these, only making us aware as absolutely necessary and when we had a chat after the event! They were on hand throughout the day ensuring that the day went smoothly and was enjoyed by all. We really had the best day ever with lots of really magical moments. Even the pack down was made a lot easier as Alex had asked prior to the event which things were ours and which were suppliers, so all of our things had been packed into the entrance way ready for us to collect the next morning without having to worry about taking these down.

We would 100% recommend for other couple's to use the venue. A gorgeous venue with a top class team running it!

Fantastic in all areas

We fell in love with Sissons from the moment we arrived at an open day event. Everything about the barn and grounds is stunning and is maintained to an impeccable standard.
Ben and the team were attentive and answered all of our questions after we booked, and were such a calming presence the day before the wedding when we were setting up.
They made sure that everything ran smoothly on the day and we couldn’t have asked for a better, lovelier team of people to make our wedding day as perfect as it was!

Wonderful venue run by wonderful people

We held our wedding reception at Sissons Barn in late July. The day was perfect, helped by the excellent service we received from our initial viewing through the end of the celebrations.

Ben, Laura and Alex ensured our day was seamless and an amazing celebration. The barn is a lovely venue in a serene, English countryside setting which is an ideal backdrop for a wedding.

The extra touches - including pre-wedding wine tasting and a ride on the tractor to ensure a perfect photography setting - just added to the first class service we received.

We can’t recommend Sissons Barn enough.

Forever memorable

Sissons is a picturesque Barn tucked away from the busy road to Peakirk.
Surrounded by meadows, a fresh cut lawn leads to a romantic corner with a huge willow tree, just one of the options given to whom ever the lucky couple are, to marry under.
This was our choice.
On the 4th July our wedding day gift was to see our wonderful family and friends truly enchanted by this beautiful hidden gem.
Following the ceremony you're lead onto the lawns infront of the most beautiful barn conversion.
Imagine, high ceilings, rustic timber finishes, oversized windows that frame the outside area perfectly.
As our guests drank Pimm's and ate delicious canapes there was this overwhelming feeling that we were being looked after.
Everyone was happy and excited but there was an incredible calm.
Our reception, the heartwarming speeches, cutting the cake, our first dance and the night long party that followed were all efficiently timed and very well organised without anyone really knowing. Small gestures such as handing my Aunt ( she's 89) a blanket and giving her a hug because she felt the cold and drawing on a plaster because our flower girl hurt her finger didn't go unoticed.

Our Caterer was Beetroot Catering. Keith went out of his way to make our menu totally out of this world it was to our preferences our style and what every couple could ever ask for.
Once we had eventually made our choices he invited us to his restaurant for an evening to taste it all .... sensational.
His attention to detail was second to none ..he listens and communicates, giving you confidence and excitement that your wedding breakfast will be everything you want it to be and more.
We chose our wine from Sissons Barn
Ben and Laura hosted a wine tasting event, a lovely evening that gave us some surprising choices and it was so nice to meet other excited couples, no one drove that night!

From the day we decided to have our wedding here, Ben, his wife Laura and their coordinator Alex held my hand.
The communication between us was just so. Meetings were encouraged and if I felt I needed more, there is a very easy option on the website to book an appointment.
Overall an unbelievable, amazing day that will live with us forever.
