"We had our wedding at Southend Barns and it was brilliant. We were due to get married in 2020 during lockdown but they helped us move dates. The staff were supportive throughout. When we finally got to the day it was everything we expected. The place looked beautiful, the food was amazing and the staff were attentive. We could not recommend Southend Barns..." Read more

"I had the best wedding day ever. My only down side was it was a glorious day and I got married in a puddle. This should have been an easy fix but didn't happen. Apart from this my day was amazing, the food was amazing and the staff were better than amazing. Thank you all so much"

"Very nice venue. Well appointed. Ideal for a wedding reception. Lots of parking. Only criticism was the slow pace of the bar staff, especially the young lad. As a former barman over many years, he needs to pick up his pace and be more organised. To be fair he might be inexperienced. Otherwise a most enjoyable visit."

"My wife and I had our wedding here on the 9th of September 2020 and I believe we were their first all day wedding after the restrictions lifted due to Coronavirus. I cannot begin to describe how helpful, friendly and caring all of the team were to us. We felt like our wedding day was the biggest event of the year and that they would do anything to make sure..."

"I cannot rave enough about this place. If you’re thinking about booking your wedding here, stop thinking and do it! We live in Surrey and a few of our friends questioned us when we said we were getting married down in West Sussex. When they saw the venue - they got it! We had the most amazing day here, even before the actual wedding day there was so much at..." Read more
