Take a look through some of our couples experiences to hopefully gain ideas of how to plan
your own, unique day at Hendall.
From the moment we discovered Hendall, we knew it was where we were going to get married, we didn’t even consider anywhere else.
Right from our first conversations through to the big day, the communication from the team was exceptional. Every question was answered, and all the little details were remembered, making us feel completely supported throughout the entire planning process. Nicola, Peter, and Viki genuinely had our best interests at heart, and they made the entire journey of planning our wedding not only easy but truly enjoyable.
The day before the wedding, the team were fantastic during the setup. They knew exactly what needed to be done, which took all the stress away and allowed us to simply enjoy the excitement.
On the day itself, everything ran seamlessly thanks to the incredible coordination and teamwork. The grounds looked stunning, and Nicola was there every step of the way to ensure everything flowed perfectly. It felt like more than just a venue, we were truly cared for, and we could relax knowing the day was in expert hands.
Nicola went above and beyond from making sure everyone was where they needed to be, to helping with the buttonholes, and even assisting me into the car in my dress. Thank you so much.
We can’t thank the Hendall team enough for giving us such an unforgettable day. This venue is so much more than beautiful, it has a wonderful charm where we have now created the most unforgettable memories.

We provide a complete alternative to a public or hotel style venue and all events here are organised on an exclusive and bespoke basis where we offer a dry hire fee and you provide via one of our Approved Caterers, the kind of catering that suits your budget and event.
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.
Just a little note to say what a fabulous day we had at Ellie & Scott’s wedding last week. The venue is a great with plenty of space to chat, dance eat and relax.
Most of all though the staff were all fabulous, happy, smiley, friendly and courteous they couldn’t do enough to make sure we all enjoyed ourselves.

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.

Last year Hendall was lucky enough to be the countryside venue that Chloe (who works at Hendall in various forms) chose for her wedding day.
From the minute we walked into Hendall Manor Barns, Nicola and her team gave us absolute confidence that we would be well looked after. They answered all of our questions, helped us understand all the complexities of organising a wedding, and had us feeling completely at ease throughout.
The venue itself is absolutely stunning, and lovingly renovated, as are the on-site accommodations and the surrounding area is just so beautiful and peaceful.
We’d like to give a massive thank you to all the team at Hendall for helping to make our wedding day truly memorable!
Thanks again for everything, we will definitely be in touch closer to our anniversary to organise a stay!

We are thrilled with our converted Cart Barn but don’t just take our word for it!
“What a brilliant, beautiful barn!
It was perfect. A stylishly and sensitively converted barn balancing old and new nestled in the stunning Sussex countryside.
I went to focus on work for a few days and the combination of fast/reliable WiFi and countless walks from the front door to clear my head, were a winning combination. Oh, and then throw in some fab local pubs!
Will definitely be returning – 5*+++”

Perfect, peaceful break in beautiful surroundings. Nicola and Peter were friendly, welcoming & responsive while at the same time unobtrusive – for a secluded stay. Welcomed with a quick property tour to find our bearings (& the all important pool)!
Local info / maps provided inside property. I particularly loved the history provided, clearly well researched & interesting!
The property & surrounding areas are beautifully maintained with modern, colourful yet cozy decor. The open plan space made a small barn feel more than big enough for us, as a couple.
Barn was clean with everything you need. The bath was lovely & deep plus a great rainfall shower! The bed & sofa are super comfy (v.important)!
We were just at the end of swimming pool season, so got to enjoy a brisk morning swim, just a short walk from the barn.
Surrounded by the gorgeous Weald countryside / woodland literally on the doorstep! To top it off we also got a morning visit from the dogs, which made our day! Thank you!

Nicola, Peter (NP, we named them ‘no problem’ as they could sort anything and everything!) and Viki were brilliant in making our day run like clockwork, guiding us through the process to make sure it was organised, fun and individual, just what we wanted. Having such fantastic accommodation on site was also a really bonus.
Thank you Hendall Manor Barns for being such a stunning backdrop and hosting a really magical day.
Flo & Ian
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.
Sam & Molly
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.
We both wanted to say a massive thank you for everything over the past 2 days! The old granary and cart barn are gorgeous and was such a nice place to get ready and stay!
And of course, yesterday was perfect! It exceeded all expectations and was a dream come true! We are so glad we chose you to make our vision come to life and loved the relaxed feel of the day 🥰

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:
Dear Nicky and Peter,
Just a short note to say thank you for allowing us to use your beautiful premises for my mothers wake and for the friendly and professional way we were treated. I am so envious that you have such a lovely place and its a credit to you that you have made a wonderful job of renovating the venue. Mum would have been thrilled by the location (and by Janes food) to complete the emotional day. I hope our paths cross in the future.
All best wishes
Nigel Silveston
A very beautiful place. Full of stories. The barn is charming, modern, and cozy. Highly recommend the stay. The hostess is also always very attentive.
