Smeetham Hall Barn

We just wanted to say a huge thank you for Saturday! We had the most perfect day, it was better than anything we could have imagined. Thank you for all your help during the last few years whilst we planned the day, and for always answering my endless questions so quickly – it really was appreciated and so helpful.

The Barn and marquee looked wonderful, so many people have said how beautiful the Barn and grounds were… we couldn’t have chosen a more perfect venue. Splinters were also incredible, I heard many guests saying it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had! Their service was excellent and we didn’t have to worry about a thing.

We can’t thank you all enough for being such a huge part of our special day, ensuring everything ran smoothly and being so accommodating. I can’t wait to see all the photos!

Well, where do we start with beautiful Smeetham Hall Barn…

From day one we were welcomed so warmly by Bridget and team. A real desire for us to come along and share our incredible day at the venue, rather than a pushy sell. From the moment we booked, we were encouraged to contact and visit as often as we wanted. We struck a real bond immediately with all involved at Smeetham, simply due to their nature and desire to give us our perfect day – perfect it was!

It is very hard to express how amazing our day was in only a few words and with so many amazing people involved, but… magical, warmly welcomed, stunningly prepared venue, incredibly attentive and lovely staff and PERFECT – felt by us and said by many. We could not recommend Smeetham and staff more highly and although our day has passed, Bridget and team will always remain part of the extended family.

Thank you all for giving us, our family and friends the most perfect and unforgettable day. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Where do I start?

My husband found this beautiful venue and decided to arrange a visit without me knowing. Little did I know this would be our dream venue! We both fell in love with the rustic, beautiful, welcoming venue – not forgetting the most stunning surroundings and knew it was exactly what we wanted for our special day! Meeting Bridget on our first visit, she just made us feel right at home and nothing was too much hassle! We knew at this moment we had to book it! So we did! Bridget and Sophie are fantastic, they have offered support and guidance to us throughout the planning process and made sure our day went smoothly!

We attended opening days throughout the 17 months of planning our wedding – this was great for us to meet suppliers and gain ideas for how to have our tables/decorations on the special day. We got married on Monday 21st November 2022 and we had the most magical day. We had the venue from 2pm the Sunday to 12pm on the Tuesday which was incredible. Plenty of time to set up and pack away the day after the wedding. I arrived at the venue the morning of the wedding to get ready in the bridal suite. Bridget popped in every now and then to make sure all was okay and if we needed anything. Bridget and Sophie let me know any changes throughout the morning and came to get me when the registrars arrived on site.

The day couldn’t have been any more perfect! Everyone had the best day and although the heavens opened, it didn’t put a dampener on it! The venue and lights inside were perfect for our family photos!

Bridget and Sophie were available all throughout the day and we cannot thank you both enough!

Smeetham Hall Barn is the perfect wedding venue!! Our day was perfect because of them!! The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and we fell in love with it as soon as we saw it. The team however are just out of this world!! They are so relaxed and accommodating and just work so hard to make the day exactly as you want it! I’m incredibly grateful to the team and I would recommend this venue to anyone!

We got married on the 28th January at relatively short notice at Smeetham Barn Hall. Right from the off, Bridget and Sophie were extremely helpful, so friendly and always on hand with answers and advice about preparing for a perfect wedding day. Along with Splinters Catering, they provided the perfect day for us. Everything ran so smoothly, we didn’t have to even think about anything. The mix of facilities they offer along with being able to provide some alcohol yourself (they amazingly charge no corkage which is very unusual) makes a perfect venue.

We received so many compliments about how well the Barn and marquee were presented, twinkling with fairy lights and looking so cosy and welcoming. Although it was January, the whole place is warm and welcoming. The private room for the family to use with a sofa, mirror and table etc is another very welcome addition to store flat shoes or have a moment of quiet time if everything gets too much! We used Wilton & Flower (who work very closely with Smeetham) to hire decoration accessories which took a further element of stress out of things as they set out everything and packed it all away again and we couldn’t have wished for better. It looked stunning and fitted in with the look of the Barn perfectly. The bar at local pub prices is another plus point.

Overall, an excellent choice for a wonderful memorable day!

I can’t put into words how wonderful our day was as the venue actually went beyond our expectations on the day and Sophie was exceptional in all she did for us. When the day gets underway this venue comes alive and we couldn’t have chosen a better place. This was the first and only venue we looked at which says it all. Thank you Sophie & Bridget.

We got married here just before the Easter weekend and it was incredible! The venue was amazing with all the beautiful beams and Sophie and Bridget took a lot of stress off of us and were so friendly and welcoming. I am so glad we picked this venue especially after our guests also commented about how beautiful the venue was. I will definitely be recommending Smeetham Hall Barn to friends and family.

The team at Smeetham has been absolutely incredible. Since day one, they’ve been on hand with advice and support to make sure the day went as smoothly as possible. And it did!

The service was impeccable – everything ran even better than we had hoped for. The event management was fantastic – the minute we stepped into the venue on the day we didn’t have to think about anything – we could just enjoy every minute. The Barn and marquee looked beautiful and the food was perfect (and very generous portions – even the canapés!). The grounds are amazing and we had so many great spots for photos.

It was the most incredible day, all thanks to Bridget and team.

We had the most amazing day celebrating at Smeetham Hall Barn!

Bridget, Sophie and the team at Smeetham Hall couldn’t do enough for us. They were always on hand to reply to any queries (no question too silly!), and we were always welcome to go to the venue if we wished to look around so by the time the wedding was here it really felt like a home from home (a luxury you do not get at many venues!).

The day ran seamlessly, and the most amazing food was supplied by Sally and the team at Splinters and lovely decorations supplied by Wilton & Flower. We had the most magical day that was everything we hoped for and more. I would recommend Smeetham Hall Barn without hesitation to all as the perfect wedding venue! We can’t wait to watch our video and get to re-live it all again!

We will forever be grateful to you all.

I cannot fault the service at Smeetham Hall Barn and the level of autonomy they allow you to have at your wedding. The level of support they give is so much better. They rescued our wedding at 6 months out as our previous venue was horrific for hidden costs; what you see is what you get with Bridget, Sophie, Lizzie and the team. The caterers were fantastic! So many happy guests. Thank you to the team for being a fab support to us!
