Smeetham Hall Barn is a privately owned, 16th century wedding venue just outside of Sudbury Suffolk on the Suffolk/Essex boarder.
You have access to the barn the day before your wedding to set up with your loved ones so that there is no stress or rushing around on your big day. Our packages are incredibly simple and include everything you need at your wedding from your venue - including your food for a certain number of day guests (80 at a weekend and 50 mid-week.) Our package caterer, Splinters have been with us for 20 years hence why it works so well!
Our barn is the perfect setting for small intimate weddings to the larger ones, we can accomadate up to 150 guests for the wedding breakfast and up to 200 in the evening. The barn itself has high vaulted ceiling, exposed timber beams, and vintage chandeliers. All of our fairy lights you see on the pictures are included in the hire price. We also have a marquee which is attached to the barn via a lobby just in case the weather is not kind and the drink's reception needs to be held inside or for winter weddings. It has beautiful panoramic sides out to our courtyard with a seated area with festoons.
We are a small team at Smeetham Hall Barn and incredibly proud of it, Victoria and Tom run Smeetham, you will see Victoria during your wedding, in the office or speaking to a supplier while by day Tom is in charge of maintenance and the grounds, by night you will see him running the bar at your wedding. Sophie has been with Smeetham a long time and will be with you every step of the way.
We are a no corkage venue, this means you can bring your own drinks into the venue for the drinks reception and wedding breafkast with no charge from us for serving or opening. This is a huge USP for us!
We do not have accomadation on site, but we have a lot of very good options all within 10/15 min MAX drive.
We have been hosting weddings for over 25 years now, come and see us so we can have a chance at hosting yours!
