Description

Bury Manor Barn offers a range of stunning spaces for couples to use as a backdrop to their special day. Couples who are exchanging their vows in the summer can make use of the amphitheatre, which provides spectacular views of the river and castle. The walled garden offers a remarkable setting for one-of-a-kind wedding photos, as well as a serene space for walks through the blossoming shade. The woodland area also provides a splendid choice for pictures. The barn itself offers a remarkable setting for receptions. It split into two rooms, to create a flawless flow throughout the events. The inner barn offers an elegant space for ceremonies, accommodating up to 120 people. Guests can then move into the outer barn, which can host up to 140 for banquets, before returning to the inner area for the dancing portion of the evening. This barn has a historical church within walking distance, offering easy access for those who wish to have a church wedding. Alternatively, humanist, civil ceremonies and celebrant-led ceremonies can also be conducted on-site.

Best day ever!
We had the most beautiful wedding day at Bury Manor Barn, what a hidden treasure! You would never know Bury Manor Barn is a school by day and gorgeous wedding venue during the weekends. Julie, Gemma and Sarah were amazing. Nothing was too much trouble and the day went so smoothly. We knew Bury Manor Barn was our wedding venue the moment we arrived. We were able to visit as many times as we needed to leading up to the Wedding day, we had our pre wedding shoot there and nothing was ever a silly question or too much to ask. We were also given a list of recommended suppliers and local places to stay which really helped the planning process. Our photos turned out beautiful as the barn has the most gorgeous scenery and surroundings. If we had got married in the summer we would 100% have taken advantage of the amphitheater on the school grounds looking over the beautiful countryside. Thanks again to Julie, Gemma and Sarah who made our day more special than anything we ever dreamed of! Mr & Mrs Hawkes 16.11.24

Bury Manor Barn was our dream venue
Bury Manor Barn was our dream venue and we had a beautiful wedding day. The views are stunning, we were lucky to have great weather so managed to make use of all the outside areas. The inside space was spacious even for a large number of guests. Julie and Gemma were great from the start, always ready to help and helped organise things behind the scenes. All our guests had a fantastic time and a few are hoping to book their future weddings at BMB too!

Incredible value for money!
From first contact they were fantastic. Easy to communicate with, happy to organise visits to the venue. It is a school and so is organised around school times, but this was never an issue. The venue is absolutely beautiful and incredible value for money compared to other local wedding barns! And was easily the most beautiful we had visited. They helped to direct us to caterers, bars, table/chair hire etc, but weren’t at all precious when we asked to use someone else - they second vetted them.

better than imagined reality!
The staff that run the venue are absolutely incredible and, of course, the venue itself is absolutely beautiful. Although the weather prevented us being able to hold our ceremony outdoors as planned - the team worked with us to the last minute to give us every chance and the plan b) option we prepared ran absolutely perfectly. I would recommend this venue and its staff to anybody and thank the team for turning our half baked vision of a wedding day into a better than imagined reality.

Thank you to BMB for making it such a special day!
We were so glad we chose Bury Manor Barn for our wedding. Gemma and Julie were incredibly helpful throughout and were so reassuring that they had it all under control. The venue itself is stunning, the view over South Downs is beautiful and really wowed our guests! Thank you to the BMB team for making it such a special day!

Amazing from start to finish!
We fell in love with Bury Manor Barn from the minute we viewed it. Our wedding was seamless and totally stress free thanks to all the team at BMB. Gemma was an absolute star , we couldn’t have done it without her. She was so approachable and nothing was ever too much to ask. Our guests loved the venue and views looking across the South Downs. We cannot recommend BMB enough!

The perfect Sussex venue
From arranging our first viewing, to fantastic on-the-day support, Julie and the Bury Manor Barn team have been sensational. The venue itself is beautiful and yet very functional too, with all the space you need to have an amazing wedding day. We were particularly drawn to BMB due to St John’s church being practically on-site, as we wanted a church wedding but the options for civil ceremonies are equally stunning. So many of our guests commented on how great the venue was and it really made our day so special. Our on-the-day coordinator, Sarah, was excellent and went above and beyond to smooth out any minor hiccups or decisions that needed to be made when me and my husband couldn’t be there ourselves (e.g the location of our drink reception was weather dependent) We cannot thank the team enough for all their hard work and support, you made our wedding day the best day of our lives. 5 stars doesn’t seem high enough!

Fantastic, dreamy, perfect venue of our dreams
This was the 3rd (last but definitely not least) venue we viewed in person, from countless venues we researched online and we fell in love with it immediately! The outdoor views with the ampitheatre and overlooking the hills were absolutely stunning. There are 2 separate barns (Inner and Outer barn) which cohesively separated the dining space and the dancing space and the interiors are so pretty and rustic, not much decorations were needed! Julie was amazing, accommodating and very responsive throughout. Gemma and Sarah - the inhouse on the day wedding coordinators were also so great and lovely to us since first contact. Overall Bury Manor Barn was the wedding reception of our dreams and both myself and my husband truly enjoyed ourselves and basked in how beautiful this venue was.
Response from the venue
Thank you very much Anjela & Joey for your amazing review. I am just so pleased that you had the best day. Bury Manor Barn is a unique and special place and we are grateful that you chose us. You looked amazing on your day and the barn looked very pretty.

Describe the best wedding that happened at Bury Manor Barn?

Just to many to mention. My most special days were the ones after lockdown... it was so wonderful to have families and friends come together. Makes me cry now thinking about it!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Move around flowers/lanterns/lights etc during the day so you get the best use of them... i.e. - ceremony table flowers move to top table, lanterns - move from ceremony room to the barn steps.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

Wellies full of flowers lining the aisle for the civil ceremony! This was for a groom who was a dairy farmer!
