Alpheton Hall Barns

We couldn’t recommend Alpheton Hall Barns highly enough. One of the first things we said when we woke up after our wedding was that we wouldn’t have changed anything. We would pick the barn again, we would pick all the same suppliers again, many of whom were recommended to us by Nic and Carol. Knowing they had all been recommended was a huge weight off our shoulders and their knowledge of the venue helped the day run more smoothly.

AHB was more than just a beautiful venue (and the barn and grounds really are beautiful), it was a continued source of help and guidance. From being picked up by Carol from the church in the campervan and brought to the woodland area, so we could catch a moment of quiet together, to the slideshow of photos and videos that Nic put together during the day, Nic and Carol went out of their way and far beyond their requirements to help make the day even more special for us.

I am so glad we found AHB. It was a perfect venue, that allowed us to put together the wedding that we wanted, with plenty of support along the way.

My wife and I celebrated our marriage at Alpheton in December and it was an incredible occasion! The barns are full of character and provided us with the perfect canvas to put together our day. The lights, curtains, pulleys etc are there already to make sure it’s not a total ‘DIY’ job and this helped us to add our own unique touch without being overwhelmed with days of decoration planning! Not to mention the great facilities for pizza in the evening and solid kitchens to boot for our caterers in the day.

A note to anyone having a winter wedding – the barn is definitely warm enough! Nic gets his industrial heaters going and you’d never know the cold as long as people aren’t leaving doors open. In terms of the man himself, Nic was a great asset in the build up and on the day – especially going out of his way to help us unload vans, unpack decorations and tidy up, which we were very grateful for. I’m sure he won’t mind us saying that he has plenty of ideas, some helpful, some a bit ‘out there’! But that’s his job and he doesn’t mind which ones you take him up on (we hope!). Nic will give you a chance to really add some character to your wedding rather than be another one on the conveyor belt that applies for some venues.

All in all – if you’re thinking of getting married here, or are wondering what an upcoming event will be like, don’t worry. A wedding at AHB will be a belter!!

Where do we start! Honestly Alpheton Hall Barns are just amazing. From start to finish we have had amazing communication from Carol and Nick. They care about the smallest of details and have fantastic ideas on how to make your day one to remember! We didn’t just fall in love with the venue but with the personalities of Nick and Carol. Nothing is to out of the ordinary for them. Nick and Carol go above and beyond to help capture your day. You know it’s an amazing wedding when the dance floor is full all night long and you’re not ready to end come midnight.

There are not enough words to thank you both on making our day so special and we are so grateful for the memories we have made with our family and friends at your amazing venue!

Alpheton Hall Barns is an amazing venue in a beautiful countryside location, with the most wonderful owners. Nic and Carol really go above and beyond in terms of the support they provide on the day. They’re constantly on the ball to ensure that the day runs smoothly and are keen to help with many additional touches in order to really put on a show for the guests. The venue is well equipped with plenty of additional props for decoration and a pizza oven for late night snacks! We had an absolutely amazing day (as did all our guests). We’re so grateful that we were able to hold our wedding and reception at Alpheton Hall Barns, especially as Nic and Carol stuck with us through two covid-related postponements. It was the most perfect day, we couldn’t have asked for more.

What a place. The venue itself is stunning – beautiful, ancient barns sitting in a secluded valley surrounded by woodland and a wildflower meadow. Our ceremony in the woodland glade was truly magical and the barn was the perfect place to eat, drink and dance in to celebrate after. But what makes this venue really special is the owners. We cannot thank them enough for going above and beyond to make our wedding day better than we could ever have imagined. The run up and the day itself all went so smoothly with Nic and Carol always ready to help, advise and adapt. We really appreciate all the little things they did on the day to help us and our guests – things we didn’t even realise had happened until after which really just goes to show how great they are at what they do. They really “got” us as a couple and the wedding we wanted to have and then they made it happen for us. They are both such wonderful people and we couldn’t recommend Alpheton highly enough. Amazing!

As a UK wedding band, we have played the length and breadth of the UK and we can honestly say that in the past 11 years, we can count on one hand the number of hosts who go so incredibly above and beyond. Nic and his lovely wife are amongst this rare find and they really blew us away with the TLC they showered our couple with. They made us feel very welcome too and very much in safe hands as suppliers. They made our service feel valued and understood the importance of teamwork and together we proudly made the magic happen for our couple and it was a pleasure to be part of the super professional team at Alpheton Hall Barns. We will always recommend you as the most incredibly caring venue, brilliant for live music and dancing and superb for creating the desired party atmosphere every couple wishes for. We love working with people like you Alpheton!

Alpheton Hall Barns, you stole our hearts the moment we entered the venue.

We got engaged in October 2022 and knew we wanted to be wed in the summer of 2023. We had a vision of how we wanted our wedding – festival, summer, chilled informal vibes with a venue that allowed us to be us! The barn and the woodland ceremony area did not disappoint and complimented our vision so well. We instantly felt at ease with the owners Nic and Carol who have been with us every step of the way during both the planning and delivery of the wedding. No ask has been too big, and they have both been so accommodating. They are truly pro’s at what they do! The preferred suppliers list helped no end, again ensuring the day ran smoothly. We are still on an absolute high. The compliments from our guests are still flooding in. We simply had the best day filled with love, laughter and happiness!

We had our dream wedding day in April this year, and we couldn’t have wished for anything to be different. The historic barns are breathtaking and so practical to cater for guests. We were able to personalise our day in whatever way we wanted, which made it special and individual to us.

What truly made this venue special, are the wonderful owners, Carol and Nic. From the day we had our viewing, to the day after the wedding when we were clearing out, they couldn’t be any more helpful. Both Carol and Nic offered us some amazing advice, and all of our wishes were turned into reality without hesitation. They cared not only for us, but our guests and suppliers throughout our big day. It was so wonderful to see our caterers, bar, band and venue all working together and having a wonderful time together. Exactly the relaxed and fun atmosphere we wanted.

From moving flower arrangements, to capturing photos/videos and sharing them both on the screen in the evening and with us at the end of the night, they really go above and beyond. Special shout out to the youngest member of the AHB team who came over to help us make our entrance and tidy up at the end of the night!

We honestly cannot thank team AHB enough, our day was beyond perfect, and we will treasure the memories forever.

Married April 2023

From start to finish Carol and Nic couldn’t have done more for us. Their genuine passion and love for our day made our day that little bit more special for us. They opened the barns to us on the Friday and stayed with us, helping at every possible chance right up until we left, not once did they rush us. They were there throughout the day on the Saturday to ensure the smoothest of days. Never in the way but always there when you needed. The venue itself, is wonderful. At the end of a single track you feel as if you’re in the middle of nowhere and surrounded by a picturesque background. The woodlands made for a cool (our wedding was on a very hot day in July) and elegant ceremony and comfortably sat all our guests. Our wedding breakfast was held within the barns which again comfortably sat all our guests. They provided pizzas, which we have only had positive feedback from. And again, Nic & Carol were super accommodating as we asked them to do these very last minute! The freedom the barn/ Nic & Carol gave us. Made for our wedding day to be exactly how we imagined it. We were not tied down to use this or that. So we were able to be as imaginative as we wanted to be. Thank you so much, the newlyweds.

The most important thing to me was the ‘feeling’ I got from the venue. I wanted to be reassured I was in good hands, that I could leave the running of the day itself to people who know what they are doing, so I wouldn’t have to worry and ultimately to have my wedding at a venue that cares. You care and that’s what I love about the Barns. I also love the confetti garden and the pizza oven and the awesome AV system, the fact that the Barns are so beautiful I don’t need to add lots of decorations. Loved it all to be honest!!

My husband (!!) and I had the most wonderful wedding in this beautiful space. The barns are picturesque AND practical, with all the facilities you could wish for to make a big event run smoothly. But the most important asset is Nic, the venue manager: helpful, creative, a great sense of humour and really invested in making sure every wedding he hosts is the best it can be. He and Carol were so welcoming and adaptable to our needs, both on The Day and in all the months of preparations. I can’t thank them enough for all they did, and my wedding was everything I hoped it would be.

Best venue and owners ever!

We have just had the most perfect wedding day at AHB. As soon as we saw the barns, and met Carol and Nic (the owners), we knew this was the venue for us! We knew the kind of thing we were looking for, and AHB had it all and more!! And to top it off, Carol and Nic really went above and beyond to bring all our ideas to life (even throwing in some special extras too!)

The venue is so unique and stunning, and there are so many different spaces to use and we loved making use of them all. The woodland ceremony area is such a beautiful space which all our guests loved. We also loved how big the main reception barn is, allowing all our tables to remain in situ all day and also has a brilliant separate dancefloor (with special confetti balloon!) The pizza oven was also a key selling point for us, and our guests loved their late-night pizza!

When you book AHB, you are getting much more than ‘just a venue’. The audio and tech equipment throughout the barns, even in the woodland, is AMAZING. Meaning that our guests were able to hear all those special songs, vows and speeches. And the lighting is spectacular, the barns look beautiful regardless, but the lighting on the day really made the barns ‘pop’ and looks incredible in our initial photos. Carol and Nic are wonderful owners/hosts and were so helpful and always on hand to guide us every step of the way; both in the planning and on the day. They really cared and did all they could to make sure we made the most of the barns and had the best day ever (which we did!)

You get the barns for a full 48 hours which meant we had plenty of set-up and clear-down time, which was perfect for us as we wanted to add our own personal touches. And an added bonus is that there are also lots of props available to use which definitely helped us with our budget.

We loved our day, and so many of our guests commented on how incredible AHB was, it’s safe to say that we can’t recommend AHB enough! Thank you again!

Where do we start? We had the perfect wedding day, and it was absolutely down to Carol and Nic and this very special venue.

Firstly, the setting is just beautiful. The countryside surrounding the venue is the perfect backdrop for the day.
Carol and Nic have got the balance between rustic style wedding venue and upmarket, modern facilities that I think is harder to achieve than one might think and is done so effortlessly here. It’s got a fully operational kitchen, lovely loos, a kitted out quiet room, proper bar, parking and everything you could wish for.

One of the things that we really appreciated was the fact that the venue is so beautiful and tasteful that you don’t need lots of accessories- saving time, stress and money. We didn’t add any of our own decorations other than flowers, and it didn’t look bare or unfinished.
Carol and Nic also get the balance of helping with your day and not taking over. They have a list of recommended suppliers which is very helpful – we chose all of ours off this list, and they didn’t disappoint. They have obviously been carefully hand-picked and are all of outstanding quality. As an example I made a mistake, and we were short on table cloths – Carol had checked when they were delivered, swiftly let me know and had she not we wouldn’t have found out till the last minute. Little things like this make you know you are in safe hands and really help to calm the pre wedding stress.

Nic did us a special music and light show for our entrance for dinner. Not only was there no charge for this, but it was exceptionally well executed. It for us was the highlight of the day, and I can’t hear the song “Best day of my life” without getting emotional.
Together they are the dream team. They are obviously experts in their field and I just can’t recommend them highly enough. A thank you will never be enough for the memories we have got the rest of our lives!

Alpheton Hall Barns is the most beautiful venue, full of character, in a lovely location and owned by the most wonderful couple whose love and passion for their venue is second to none! In our non-biased opinion everyone should have their wedding at Alpheton Hall Barns! We had our wedding reception at Alpheton Hall Barns in September, it was absolutely perfect and we had the most amazing day. Nic and Carol were outstanding throughout the whole process as well as on the weekend and day itself, the effort that they put into making our day perfect was incredible and we were truly blown away, they are so relaxed which meant the lead up and the day were totally stress free and we were able to take in and enjoy every single moment. The barns, pizza courtyard and grounds are stunning and very well kept, it was lovely to have so many different areas to use on the day and the woodland areas were perfect for our wedding photos & video. We were able to make the barns unique to us and decorate them however we wished which was perfect and exactly what we were looking for in a venue. Nic also took some brilliant candid photos and videos throughout the day which was another really lovely touch. Thank you Nic and Carol for making our day so special, you truly went above and beyond and it really was the day of our dreams, we loved every single second. We are looking forward to visiting the barns in years to come on our anniversary! Thank you so much for everything.

Where do we begin? From the moment we stepped foot in the barns almost 2 years ago we fell head over heels in love and just knew it was the perfect place for us however it wasn’t just the venue that we were sold on, it was Nic and Carol too.

Together, they went above and beyond to make sure that our wedding day was perfect. They supported us throughout the planning process, helped us set up, and ensured our day was completely personal and they took away every ounce of stress that we could have had.

On the day itself, they made sure that not only us but our guests were well looked after, that everything was running according to plan, and most importantly, they arranged a few surprises for us both which really took it to the next level.

The woodland ceremony area was magical and the barns were exactly how we envisioned. We’ve even had friends say they wish they got married at the barns after visiting!

We wouldn’t change a single thing and would absolutely love to do every singly minute all over again. If you’re thinking of having your wedding at the barns, take this as a sign to go for it!

I don’t even know where I start. The venue itself is breath-taking, Especially with the new outdoor ceremony area right in the heart of the woods (where we got married ). Nic and Carol are outstanding! They helped us every single step of the way, even if we did email every other day and visited the venue numerous times. Nothing was too much for them. They are so accommodating and genuinely lovely people. The venue itself is/was such a talking point, even without all the decorations the barn is stunning. The drive up to the venue is very scenic. From start to finish everything was so perfect and beautiful. We will be forever grateful to you both .

We have just had our wedding at Alpheton and honestly cannot sum up how amazing it was. The venue is stunning – very rural and beautiful surroundings. The barn itself is gorgeous- so bright, airy and perfect for wedding reception. There is plenty of space inside and out and so many quirky touches. But the best part, and part which made our day so amazing, are the fantastic owners. They are so committed to ensuring your wedding day is simply the best. They help with planning and are available from the Friday and all day Saturday. Nothing is too much to ask. We could not have had a more perfect day and are so grateful we found and booked Alpheton!

We could not be happier with Alpheton Hall Barns as a wedding venue. we got married there earlier this month, and have had many conversations together as husband and wife about how much we loved our wedding day, and there’s just not one thing we could fault about the venue.

It is stunning. So rustic, so warm, so rich with character. It’s also extremely practical – great parking, great photo opportunities, fab kitchen and bathroom facilities, and two barns so you don’t have to do a mad panic re-shuffle after the ceremony! Just set up one barn as the ceremony room, and one as the reception. Easy. It’s also the venue of CHOICE. As long as you don’t do anything that might damage this stunning barn, it’s your pretty much your canvas for your dream for the day. Nic was incredibly helpful with ideas, as well as helping us make the venue exactly how we wanted it without risk of any damage. He was there all day on Friday checking in, giving tips, and reminding us of little things while our minds were frazzled!

The other great thing about this venue is their attitude. You pay your price, then that’s it. No hidden extras, no complicated ifs and buts. You pay the price, and everything else they do for you is just part of the package. Nic even made little rustic stands for some of our photos the day before the wedding, out of the blue! No extra cost! He just saw that the photos weren’t standing properly, and found a solution. Just incredible care and attention that went beyond our expectations.

We had an amazing day, and Nic and this amazing space were a huge part of that. Book it now! You won’t regret it!

Firstly stunning location, a beautiful woodland setting which makes for a very personal and intimate wedding. Stunning gardens with spectacular views in glorious Suffolk countryside. We could not of picked a better venue for our perfect day. Add in to that the lengths that owners Carol and Nic went to, we booked our wedding with only 6 weeks notice, and they perfectly orchestrated the whole day. The barns are steeped in history and are absolutely beautiful, and if we could do it all again, it would be with Alpheton Hall Barns.

Married June 2023

A truly stunning venue with so much outdoor space and gorgeous landscapes. The barns are so authentic and decorated beautifully, a really special feel to them. Carol and Nic exceeded all of our expectations, they are so helpful and responsive, and so thoughtful and creative with the extra little touches, that really boosted our wedding day from good to exceptionally perfect! If a barn/country wedding is what you’re after, I cannot recommend Alpheton Hall Barns enough! They have a wide array of rustic props and decorations to be used, the space is plenty big enough, and the dance floor balloon that pops confetti during your first dance was just brilliant. The helped us achieve our dream wedding; not one hiccup or problem throughout the day, they truly care about each and every wedding they host, moving mountains to help you bring your day to life. They recommended the best of the best in terms of suppliers, all of which were superb from start to finish. Multiple guests made the effort to tell us that it was simply the best wedding they’d ever been to. We had the most memorable, magical and special wedding day at Alpheton, all thanks to Carol, Nic, and their beautiful, beautiful barn.
