Location & experience
Our Venue’s Location
Smeetham Hall Barn is nestled in Bulmer, a charming village on the border of Essex and Suffolk, just a short distance from Sudbury and Long Melford, and only an hour’s journey from London. Couples from across Essex, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, and Kent have chosen to marry at our venue, as well as those from further afield seeking a picturesque rural barn setting in the heart of the countryside.
An Authentically
Rural Experience
While Smeetham Hall Barn is considered one of the best barn wedding venues in Essex, it is also home to a working farm. Spanning around 400 acres, our land is farmed as naturally and sustainably as possible. By choosing to celebrate your wedding with us, you’re supporting these eco-friendly practices. Our fields are bordered by thick hedgerows, and our meadows are sown with wildflowers and grasses, providing a stunning backdrop of lush greenery and natural beauty for your special day.
Packages & Services
At Smeetham Hall Barn, you have the freedom to customise your wedding day to suit your style and preferences. Whether you choose to spend the entire day with us including a civil or humanist ceremony followed by a reception in our Barn and our permanent marquee or prefer to have a church ceremony nearby and join us for the reception afterward, we’re here to accommodate your wishes.
During the planning of your wedding, our dedicated team will be available to offer advice, answer any questions, and give you as many tours of the venue as you need. We also provide a comprehensive list of suppliers and local accommodation options to help with your preparations.
Take some time to explore our website to learn more about our wedding packages, special offers, "no corkage" policy, and the exceptional service you can expect from us.
