The Wedding Day Story at Southend Barns

I am a Preferred Supplier at Southend Barns. Southend Barns is built on a stunning working farm in the beautiful West Sussex Countryside. They have been lovingly restored with rustic charm. It is filled with romantic touches and is surrounded by truly beautiful landscaped gardens. There are also peaceful courtyards and it is a truly magical setting for your wedding celebration.

Getting Ready Suite

Tucked away behind a large metal door is a beautiful one bedroom suite with a large indoor vaulted ceiling room. This is where you will get ready. With lots of furry textures and gorgeous patterns, you will begin your day here with your make-up and hairdresser. I usually arrive at the barns around 11 am. The room has a large table so you might be able to accommodate several bridesmaids, having their and make-up simultaneously. The mixtures of concrete, fur, cow patterns and simple, elegance threads throughout the Southend Barns. These modern themes area echoed in this room and bathroom. There is a TV and outlets for playing music on your mobile while you get ready. Here is a pinterest board of Southend Barns.

Dairy Barn – Inside Ceremony Barn

The Dairy Barn is licensed for Civil Ceremony or partnerships. With a delightful sweeping aisle, exposed wooden beams and benches made of sweet chestnut, the Wedding Barn is a truly idyllic setting for couples to exchange vows.

The Threshing Barn – Wedding Breakfast

You can dine and dance the night away in the magnificent 200-year-old Threshing Barn which emits warmth and character, with its authentic wooden beams and wrought iron chandeliers. The large windows provide you with stunning views of the surrounding gardens and stunning sunsets over The South Downs.

The NEW Secret Garden – Outside Wedding Garden

After the Summer we have had (2018), everyone wants to get married outside and Southend Barns has just built a brand new, modern, elegant outside wedding area. The materials used outside area echoed throughout the wedding venue. There are oak and grey polished cement, stone and pretty flowers with apples growing up the walls. The plants currently around the edge will soon mature thereby growing up and hiding the area above the wall. In time, Southend Barns will have a stunning, outside wedding ceremony area, very aptly named “The Secret Garden”.
