We had our wedding at The Priory Barn, Little Wymondley in June 2026 and could not have chosen a better venue. The venue is absolutely beautiful, with a stunning barn, elegant gardens and ample unique spots for photographs. It was perfect for our day. We opted to have ceremony in the barn and dinner etc in the garden. It was amazing. Guests continue to tell us how much they enjoyed the venue. It is a rural venue which lends to the atmosphere while also being most accessible. A huge thank you to Bill and Michelle, who were very accommodating and helpful. There were on hand at all times on the day which was super and it was brilliant the way they engaged with many guests ensuring everyone was having a ball. Their passion for the venue is clear to see along with the substantial investment and updates they have made since taking over in late 2025. Massive thank you to Jenny, who from day one was so supportive, her vast experience is evident from her brilliant suggestions and tips along with her attention to detail. On the day her superb organisation skills meant that everything ran seamlessly. Alan was the most brilliant chef who understood our vision, had really good ideas that we never would have thought of and on the day completely nailed it. The food was beautiful. The staff on the day were outstanding—friendly, professional and attentive throughout. If you a

Michelle, Bill, Jenny and the team were beyond exceptional and we cannot thank them enough for the day and the whole lead up to it. They were able to offer an extensive list of vendors to connect with including flowers, DJ's, celebrants! They also had the Bridal Suite prepared for us which was absolutely stunning with amazing space for hair and make up to use. The actual venue itself is nothing short of bre

We recently got married at The Priory Barn Aug 08 The barn is huge and extremely impressive... as soon as we walked into the building on our first visit we knew it was the wedding venue for us. Our guests were amazed by the beauty of the barn. Everything ran like clockwork. The staff were extremely polite and competent. The food is to die for! Geoff the chef is a genius when it comes to food... Anything you want they will prepare, they do have a menu for you to choose from but it can be adapted to suit you! They will bend over backwards to help you achieve your day the way you want and envisage it. The grounds are extremely well kept... lovely for the piccies. Priory Barn is a fabulous venue for your wedding we would recommend it to anyone. I cant th
