Our stunning 16th century Barn is the perfect venue for weddings in Essex. We are located in Sudbury on the Essex and Suffolk borders.
Here are just a few of the many notes of thanks we have received.

Hello Bridget a belated thank you for all your help on the lead up to, and during Dmitri and Mel's wedding. The barn looked absolutely beautiful and amazingly it was very warm despite the snow in fact we had to ask for a heater to be turned off!! It was a truly wonderful day. Thanks again Hilary

Dear Bridget and Anthony, Thank you for all your help and your very special venue for our wedding. We have memories for a lifetime. You really put us at ease each time we visited, Bridget, and all the little things were greatly appreciated. Hopefully, many more people can enjoy Smeetham for years to come. Lots of love

What a perfect venue! Bridget and her team gave us the most wonderful reception. The barn looked magical and had a cosy wintery atmosphere that made us all feel so comfortable. Beautiful grounds for great photos too! We would recommend this venue to everyone!! Xxx

Dear Bridget, I wanted to write and thank you for the most perfect day and the most wonderful venue. You were so helpful and went far and above what we could ever have expected. Thank you so much, with all my heart for everything. It turned out to be the most fantastic day ever and by no means would have gone as well without all your help and assistance. Powercuts and phone failures could not spoil the day thanks to your efforts on our big day. It was brilliant, beyond brilliant. Thank you for the use of your magnificent venue and thank you for allowing us the freedom to have our unusual rock'n'roll type wedding exactly the way we wanted. You were the star of the day, pulling it all together while I was starting to panic! I'm going to be forever grateful.

Dear Bridget, We would like to thank you very much again for all your contributions towards Angela and Greg’s wedding reception. It was a wonderful experience for everybody. We very much appreciated your help before and during the reception. It was reassuring to know that final touches were in your capable hands. Angela and Greg are spending their honeymoon in New Zealand and are having a fantastic time. With our love and best wishes.

Dear Bridget, We just wanted to say a huge thank you. We had the best day of our lives. From the moment we came to see the barn two years ago we knew it would be right and we had looked at a few places! The setting and the barn are magical and the twinkling lights made it look spectacular. All our guests have said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and the venue was absolutely perfect. You have thought of everything. The bar being in the main room means people don’t miss the fun in the evening and the marquee is perfect for keeping warm and dry. You are so accommodating to make sure that we had our day exactly how we wanted it - from the aerial photo, sparklers by the lake, magician and Stevie Wonder/Barry White impersonators. The flexibility made it even more special. My family usually end up organising most things but you and your team were so efficient and invisible that we could all relax and have an amazing day! Thank you, again. We have recommended you to friends and all our brides and grooms to be!

The barn is romantic, the lake and house picturesque, the facilities perfect, but most importantly the management anticipate your every need and make sure your wedding goes off without a hitch. Being able to trust Bridget and her staff implicitly meant that our day was stress-free and went entirely to plan.

Dear Bridget, A big thank you for helping us make Sian and Sam’s wedding such a delightful experience and just as they wanted it. Your venue is wonderful, but what makes it so very special is your own personal care and thoughtfulness for the bride, groom and their families. We have had so many positive comments about the whole day from friends and family. Much of the success of the day was due to the setting and to your own concern that every wedding is the most special, so thank you again.

Dear Bridget, Just a little note to thank you very, very much for a wonderful day! The venue is breathtaking and your hospitality very warm. Everyone I have spoken to commented positively and said they would recommend the barn as a perfect location for their wedding. You made the day very special for us.

An amazing venue for my amazing day!
Thank you so much Bridget for all your help and guidance-we had a truly amazing day. Smeetham Hall Barn is absolutely gorgeous. Matt’s family, who had flown over from New Zealand, thought that the venue in this traditional English barn was stunning, as did all our other guests. It couldn’t have been more perfect. Thank you
Kirsty and Matt Chambers
Just a quick note to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my Bub's and Sam's day so great. It would be all too easy for you to rent out the barn and leave everybody to their own devices but you do quite the opposite and welcome the party into your home with all the warmth and feeling that comes with that attitude to life. Bless you and thank you for everything.

… the run up to the wedding was made stress free by Bridget and her wonderful team, nothing was too much trouble, even on the day everything seemed effortless. The barn was a magical venue for our Xmas Wedding. I cannot recommend this venue highly enough.

We just wanted to let you know how grateful we both are for everything you did to make our wedding day such a success. The Barn looked absolutely beautiful and we and our guests all had a wonderful time.
