Wow, honestly what can I say about Bury…firstly our guests have not stopped messaging us about the venue and the whole day in itself. We were very clear from day one, as a family of 5 having 3 little ones, we wanted a family, relaxed affair and Bury Manor got the memo real quick and fulfilled our every wish! I know we’re still in our bubble but I think it will be a wedding people talk about for a long time! We had a chilled cocktail hour with a singer and lawn games followed by a twilight b

This is the most perfect wedding venue you could choose!! SO many people commented on how great it was, even our caterer is looking to have their wedding there. With 2 large interconnected barns/rooms, an amphitheatre, a huge lawn area, a stretch tent, a church on site and the best views at a venue I've seen, you have to go see it for yourself. Whilst it is a blank canvas type venue, it needs very little decor added because it is so beautiful. Space for many many guests. We had some rain and wind on our day, but easily accommodated

We were so lucky with our wedding, and are so grateful to Julie and her entire team at Bury Manor Barn. From the first time we viewed the venue, to the multiple visits in the run up, to our big day, we felt so supported by the venue and all of their recommended vendors. We especially loved getting married outside, with all of our guests sat in the amphitheatre. The views across the South Downs are stunning

Fantastic venue for our wedding. Unfortunately it rained so we couldn't make full use of the amphitheater for the ceremony, but the flexibility of the two barns and terrace for the reception drinks really helped. The separate but linked barns again made a difference during the evening, allowing space for the party and those just wishing to chill out a bit. Julie was really helpful during the planning stages, offering ad

We had the most amazing day at Bury Manor Barn - the venue had stunning spaces for each part of the day, with a barn for the ceremony, a drinks terrace and secret gardens for our photos. The team were superb and very responsive in the lead up, and we really appreciated having them around

Bury Manor Barn made the wedding of our dreams possible. The staff and the venue were able to accommodate our mixed heritage African and British caterers and there are many beautiful churches nearby to hold the wedding ceremony, we used St. Giles. The Barn is next to the stunning river Arun with a large garden space for a drinks reception. The team at Bury Manor Barn assisted in the planning where needed and were as

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

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 the

We couldn't be happier choosing Bury Manor Barn for our wedding venue. As soon as we had looked around, and walked outside to see 'that' view we knew it was perfect. The venue is stunning, and the Tudor Barn gives so much charm in its surroundings and we barely had any decorations as it was so beautiful as it was. The backdrop and views outside are the best settings for photos and we were so pleased the weather was on our side so the guests could enjoy it. Our guests could not stop commenting on how beautiful it was! From the beginning Julie and the team were amazing with communicating with us and ensuring we had all the information and support we needed in the planning process and made it so stress free. Gemma and Sarah were our day and evening coordinators and thank goodness they were as the day would not have been as amazing without them. They managed everything, and we didn't need to worry about a thing! Any issues were resolved without us even being aware and they were just worth their weight in gold. We

We hired Bury Manor Barn for our wedding and had the most amazing day. Julie, Gemma and Sarah are all amazing and nothing was too much. The venue is flexible and allows you to bring your own alcohol for the day with no corkage which saved us tons! We had a bit of rain for part of the day so having the covered terrace was

We celebrated our wedding at Bury Manor Barn on the 1st June 2024, and it was the most incredible day! All of our guests raved about how wonderful the venue was and could not get over the views across the river! The grounds were beautiful, and the two sections of the barn make is so convenient for the party, as you don't have to wait for any of the rooms to be turned around between different parts of the day. I honestly couldn't recommend this venue more, having the opportunity to come in the day before was also fantastic, as it meant we could do all the decoration and set up ourselves, which turned out to be a really fun part of the wedding prep, with our families there to help us. On the day, everything went exactly as planned, and the co-ordinators at the venu

Bury Manor Barn is the most magical venue. Brilliant views of the south downs, on the river, 12th century buildings. The event staff are super helpful and accommodating. It is a school during the week, so there is only one wedding per weekend so they aren't in the habit of 'churning' out weddings. There is literally everything you could want at this venue, come rain or shine. Couldn't recommend it highly enough.
