Pink Prosecco has been making waves in the wine industry lately, and for good reason. This delicious and refreshing wine is a perfect choice for any occasion, from a casual brunch or a hen party, to a wedding! Here’s everything you need to know about it:
Taking out wedding insurance, as with anything valuable, be it sentimentally, financially or just for the peace of mind knowing you have insurance can bring, is something we insist all our couples take out, regardless of your date, budgets or ideas.
Hendall Manor Barns and Charleigh Victoria Photography are the duo you never knew you needed on your wedding day, they’re just incredible! I could not recommend either enough, the compliments we’ve had on our wedding will stay with me forever.

In the Summer months, there is shared access to our private pool and tennis court (rackets and balls not included). There is also a lovely outside seating area overlooking paddocks with horses and beautiful countryside.
Molly & I are so extremely grateful for everything you’ve done which has helped gift us with the best wedding day. Our favourite position generally being background characters in events, we were approaching the day with a bit of anxiety and stress about all the attention and business of the day, however, we couldn’t have enjoyed it more. Everything ran so smoothly, the food was delicious, the waiters and helpers were wonderful and the venue provoked a lot of amazing feedback. Everyone absolutely loved the day.
Once again, thank you for all you have done, your venue is amazing, we had a gorgeous day with gorgeous weather (somehow!!) and it was such a pleasure to get to know Peter & Nicola and the whole team at Hendall.

We are sitting here at our delightful airport hotel reminiscing on the best day of our lives on Saturday. It really was spectacular and we are so thrilled with all of our choices of venue, photographer and caterers, you all delivered so brilliantly and we are so grateful.
I wanted to share a few comments I heard on the day including my mother (not easily impressed) saying that she had never come across a more organised photographer, and John the comments we have had regarding the first pictures you have released have been amazing and I couldn’t believe how great they look! Sarah – my friend Joe (a massive foodie) said he had never had a piece of beef like it and was blown away and the non-stop commentary on the fantastic canapés made me laugh. And Viki, Peter & Nic, so many people said on the day how fantastic the venue looked and how lucky we were to have such a brilliant place to get married in.
We wish we could do it all again! But next time we do a big party we know who to come to!!
Thank you again so much, you completely made the day for us and we are so incredibly grateful.

Choosing the perfect wedding dress can be a daunting task. With so many styles, fabrics, and designers to choose from, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. However, finding the perfect dress is possible with a little bit of planning and preparation. Here are some tips to help you choose the perfect wedding dress for your big day:
Barns are so versatile and can be ‘dressed’ in so many unique and different ways that they offer great scope for creativity and design… so, why have a barn wedding?
What an incredible little find! We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend in this tasteful, well equipped and wonderfully renovated barn.
Nicola was very welcoming along with her dogs.
10/10 would highly recommend, you will not be disappointed.

Dear Nicola & Peter
Just to say thank you again for the loan of your barn for our wedding favour photoshoot.
It is a beautiful venue and the images have come out fantastically well.
Your generosity will really help to give hope to people living with dementia now and in the future.
Warm regards

We love the variety of working with a plethora of great suppliers here at Hendall so were delighted when Gillian and Laura from Sussex Celebrants contacted us to say they had written a blog all about Hendall.
On the 25th October Ellie & Scott got married here with around 70 guests and wanted a relaxed barn wedding from the start.
“Hendall ended up being the only venue we even looked at. By the time we were driving up the lane to leave, we had agreed that it was the perfect option. Even when we were shown around the very first time, before we had made many decisions about the wedding, I could imagine us getting married there.”
An outstanding stay in a fantastically beautiful barn and surroundings. What a charming area and quintessential English countryside location. The Cart Barn was pristine and extremely well equipped throughout including a high end finished bathroom. We brought our dog here and they slept all the way back home with us. That’s always a good sign!
Very comfortable bed and relaxing sofa in which to digest the House’s history, fascinating!
Absolutely first class hosts and thank you for letting be part of it. 100% recommended 🙂

We were delighted to host Ceinwen and David’s Wedding here at the beginning of September and hope that couples can gain inspiration from the photographs of their day.
We recently had our wedding here, from the initial viewing to the actual day itself Nicola and her team were beyond helpful. The grounds and venue have so many great photo opportunities, and staying on site was perfect as it meant everyone was together and ready for the morning! The communication was clear and quick, and the day itself could not have run smoother, we really can’t thank you enough for all the help and support over the last year and we are so glad we chose Hendall as our venue.
Billie & Christian
What an absolutely beautiful and amazing barn. Myself and friends had a thoroughly enjoyable stay and would recommend. The weather was great, the pool was pure tranquility and the whole estate was absolutely stunning. We could have stayed for a lot longer and I plan on returning with my family next year!
Thanks Nicola and family for opening up your estate/barn to us and giving us a very warm welcome.
If I could rate it more than five stars I would.
