Beautiful and ScenicBeautiful and Scenic
The venue is beautiful, set in the scenic Suffolk countryside, and the areas offered for our wedding were spacious, well looked after and stunning to look at. Jeremy and Rachel elevated it beyond what we had planned ourselves and they even threw themselves into a new style of wedding that they had not done before with excitement, enthusiasm and creativity. I can honestly say that I have no comments other than positive ones for all the team at Sancroft Barns, and I couldn’t recommend them higher.The venue is beautiful, set in the scenic Suffolk countryside, and the areas offered for our wedding were spacious, well looked after and stunning to look at.

Beautiful grounds and countrysideBeautiful grounds and countryside
From the moment we first visited The Sancroft Barns Jeremy made us feel at home. Of the venues we visited, this was the only one who felt interested in us. Nothing was too much trouble: quick with his responses to emails and got stuck in and helped us on set up day. Celebrating in the beautiful grounds and Suffolk countryside in the sunshine was something we will never forget. We won’t hesitate to recommended Jeremy, Rachael and the Sancroft Barns, thank you so much for our day.From the moment we first visited The Sancroft Barns Jeremy made us feel at home.

The most perfect weddingThe most perfect wedding
The moment we saw the venue and met Jeremy we were sold. We knew this is where we were going to marry. Every piece of communication was 10/10. Always willing to answer any questions any time of the day. The venue itself is just stunning. We opted for ceremony and reception in the barn and wedding breakfast in the marquee and it was beyond brilliant. Jeremy & Rachael helped coordinate a smooth running day from the moment we got there. Their professionalism is above and beyond. Certainly 5Stars!The moment we saw the venue and met Jeremy we were sold. We knew this is where we were going to marry.

A stunning venue - inside and outA stunning venue - inside and out
We recently got married at The Sancroft Barns and it was an absolutely wonderful day surrounded by the beautiful Suffolk countryside. The venue itself is perfect for a rustic barn wedding with all the essential amenities provided - a stunning venue inside and out. Jeremy and Rachel were on hand to advise and help with absolutely anything leading up to the event, and provided the perfect light touches behind the scenes on the day to ensure everything went smoothly. Highly recommend - 5 STARS.We recently got married at The Sancroft Barns and it was an absolutely wonderful day surrounded by the beautiful Suffolk countryside.

Our very special day! Our very special day!
We had our wedding at Sancroft Barns on the 9th August 2025. This had been the first wedding venue we had gone to see and after our initial meeting with Jeremy, no other venues came close. From our very first meeting, Jeremy was nothing but helpful; giving us advice and ideas of his own and from previous weddings. It really felt like we could do what we want to make it personal to us. Not only were they amazing during the planning stage, they remained calm and organised on the day to make sure it still ran smoothly. The staff have a background/behind the scenes vibe and this was evident in the way everything was carried out on the day. The venue itself is incredible - the barn has so much history written into its wall and the grounds have all the photo opportunities you could want. We could camp on site which made it a whole weekend celebration and our guests didn't have to travel too far before hitting the hay. Jeremy and Rachael also took over the communication to the vendors which was a huge relief. We have had lots of comments about how our wedding was so chilled and relaxed and we always say that is because of Jeremy and Rachael. We both feel very very grateful that we were able to use Sancroft to host our special day. It is evident that Jeremy and Rachael just want their couples to have the most amazing wedding day because they love what they do. We would recommend Sancroft Barns to everybody! 100%We had our wedding at Sancroft Barns on the 9th August 2025.

Best wedding!Best wedding!
Sancroft Barns was the perfect venue. The charming barn is a canvas to personalise, with Array offering beautiful decor. The marquee was spacious and well suited to a fantastic wedding breakfast, supplied by Jamie Lee Smith. Surrounded by fields, and with ample space for glamping on site, the location of The Sancroft Barns is excellent. Jeremy is a fantastic host; thoughtful, meticulous, patient and flexible. Most of all, his easy going nature helped to perfect the atmosphere in planning and on the day. Thank you!Sancroft Barns was the perfect venue.

The best venue for the best dayThe best venue for the best day
We had our wedding at The Sancroft Barns and genuinely couldn’t have wished for a better venue. From the moment we first visited, Jeremy and Rachael were incredibly welcoming and supportive – and that continued right through to the big day itself. The fact we were able to have the entire day there, from start to finish, made it so special. Nothing was too much trouble – they were open to all our ideas and made sure the space felt truly personal to us. It never felt like a standard venue package; it felt like our wedding. Jeremy, Rachael and their amazing team were more like extra guests than venue staff – calm, friendly, always there when needed but never in the way. Everything ran so smoothly thanks to their care and attention. We honestly can’t thank them enough for helping to make the day so memorable. If you're looking for a relaxed, beautiful venue run by brilliant people, we couldn't recommend The Sancroft Barns more highlyWe had our wedding at The Sancroft Barns and genuinely couldn’t have wished for a better venue.

What a special place!What a special place!
What a special place! We got married at The Sancroft Barns last weekend and can't say enough good things about it. We had been getting frustrated when looking at other venues, which badged themselves as 'yours to do what you want with' - until you started actually asking "could we do x?" Most venues felt soulless, commercial and 'cookie cutter'. Then we came across Sancroft. It was clear throughout that Jeremy and Rachael are doing this because they love it. They enjoy helping people have the best day of their lives. They say "yes, and..." when you have a fun idea, and nothing was too much trouble. They are truly lovely people, as well as being super organised, responsive, calm, and all the other things that you need to make a wedding run smoothly. The other venue staff on the day were also fantastic - you'd hardly know they were there if it weren't for the fact that everything that was supposed to be sorted was seamlessly sorted in the background. The barn itself is absolutely stunning. The rafters, the original wattle and daub, and the tally marks from counting grain long ago, are both beautiful and fascinating. There are so many gorgeous photo spots in the grounds, from wheat fields to wildflower meadows. Having guests to stay on site was fantastic for us. It made it feel like a full weekend, and meant people really committed to the party as they only had to stumble back to their tents! We were constantly getting comments from guests about how lovely the venue was and "how did you manage to find such a gem?" We are so, so lucky to have got married at Sancroft and would 100% recommend it. Photo credits: https://www.weddingsbyadriandewey.comWhat a special place!

We had such an amazing day and we can’t thank these two enough for sharing it with us. 100% recommend the beautiful grounds of Sancroft Barns for your special day and also the wonderful owners.
