The Cherry Barn

I have to say I wasn't 100% 'sold' on a barn wedding but the setting and building was fabulous. Loved the space and the way you can dress the barn to suit your style. Having a 'back room'' with settees and dressing area makes life a lot easier. My ONLY criticism is a little bit of extra light would be useful at the end of the night when carriages arrive so you can work out which taxi company is for who. Would defintely recommend this wedding venue. Nothing was too much trouble for the barns owners. They even lent us a blanket for our grandaughter when she fell asleep during the evening.

Dear Mel and Steve, I just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you for the really wonderful venue you provided for my daughter Rebecca and her now husband! Tristan. We have so many comments from family and friends about how stunning the venue was and how magical it looked and we could not have asked for more. You were also so charming and helpful, it made a real difference and gave us the happiest of days. With thanks and best wishes, Catherine x

I have to thank you again for everything. There are no words to describe how amazing it was. The newly weds have had so many texts and messages saying it was the the best wedding they have ever been too. A lot of this is down to you. You are so cool about everything. Nothing is too much trouble. I am so grateful for your help especially at the end of the night when you were sweeping up after midnight. The flexibility is also so helpful. The bar next to the dance floor means there is no congregating in other rooms. We had a party of a lifetime and is one I will never forget. My Facebook page is filled with photos and videos. You are welcome to friend me to see them. So once again thank you so much. You and Stephen are the coolest couple in town.

We just wanted to write to say thank you to you for all you did on Saturday (and before and after) to make Catherine and Mike's wedding day so special. What a wonderful place the Cherry Barn is. We all fell in love with it as soon as we saw it and never had any doubt that it would act as the perfect setting for the wedding reception. Our guests loved it too - so relaxed, so pretty - a perfect setting. But what made it really special was all the care you take to make sure everything runs smoothly - and your love for the barn and your enthusiasm. We so appreciated all those things. We will send a couple of pics through in a day or two, but in the meantime, thank you again. You are the perfect host and it was a true pleasure to meet you. And we will all remember the Cherry Barn, with great happiness, for the rest of our lives! Very best wishes and thanks again, Isabel and Toby

Dear Mel and Steve What a fabulous day we had, everyone said how wonderful the venue was which we fully endorse but what really made it for us was the effort that you both but in, you were exceedingly good hosts, so flexible and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. We can honestly say that you had a major input into making the day a great success and making two trips to Rye to return the stragglers was beyond any reasonable expectation. We loved Cherry Barn and your company With every good wish Bill and Jen

As a wedding photographer, you get to see many wedding venues! But few left an impression as strong as The Cherry Barn did, from the very first time you step into the venue. The attention to detail, the light, the most incredibly friendly staff and owners, everything made for one of the most beautiful events of the year for us. Definitely a place we can't wait to return to and such a gem in the South of England! Can not recommend them enough!! It's a vendor's dream, for sure!!

Dearest Mel and Steve Thank you so so so much for all your incredible help with the wedding. It’s always hard to envisage everything coming together to create your ‘perfect’ day, but we truly believe that we got everything we wanted and more. Your beautiful venue was the best canvass we could have hoped for, and seeing all the things that we had organised with Dita set up and complimenting the space made us - and our guests - so happy, and the day was a complete success. More importantly, the help and guidance that you both provided leading up to, during and after the day was just so frickin’ wonderful! You made us feel so welcomed and calm - easing the nerves and stress that undoubtably comes with organising such a large and once in a lifetime event. (The highlight was Mel setting her alarm for “Eggs and Blender” - saving the culinary day ?? ) Finding a home for all the left over produce was just another example of the “going out of your way” and aftercare provided - All of which allowed us to enjoy every moment and not stress about wedmin. We wish you all the success in the world with The Cherry Barn as you both truly deserve it and it continues to bring as much joy to the rest of the couples of the world as it did us. Our mini Canadian road trip/ Honeymoon may be over for now but the commitments we made to each other under your stunning barn roof will stay with us forever. Lots of love Will and Claire (Mr&MrsPS)

We held our wedding reception here last Saturday and couldn't recommend The Cherry Barn more highly! It has been beautifully and lovingly converted into the perfect party venue. It is in a great location with stunning views and despite it being winter it worked perfectly as a twinkly and cosy party venue for all of our guests! We had so many people remark on what a great setting it was for a wedding. Mel and Steve could not have been more lovely and helpful on the day and in the run up to the event. They went out of their way to make sure the day ran smoothly and that we had a fantastic time - which we did! I wish we could do it all over again! Anyone looking at this venue for a wedding or a party I would highly recommend booking a viewing - you will not be disappointed! Thanks again Mel and Steve x

We got married here in August and I may be slightly biased, but this place was incredible. Our guests thought it was an outstanding venue, just as much as we did! Mel and Steve are amazing and very accommodating! We feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to be one of the first couples to get married here! I'm sure the first of many couples to follow in our footsteps!

Just the best most beautiful venue! we had the best night ever xxx Mel and Steve you were amazing the whole time xxx
