Take a look through some of our couples experiences to hopefully gain ideas of how to plan
your own, unique day at Hendall.
For many brides, planning a wedding is undoubtedly filled with lots of decision making. We couldn’t resist the opportunity to write a fun and frivolous post, all about…yup… wedding shoes!
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?
We couldn’t be happier with our choice of Hendall Manor for our wedding. The venue itself is absolutely stunning – elegant, versatile, and filled with charm – it truly created the perfect setting for our special day. From the very beginning, Viki and Nicola were incredible. Their support, guidance, and attention to detail made the whole planning process so smooth and stress-free. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and we always felt in safe hands.
On the day, everything ran flawlessly thanks to their hard work and care behind the scenes. Our guests were blown away by the venue, and we honestly couldn’t have chosen a better place to celebrate. Hendall Manor will always hold such a special place in our hearts, and we are so grateful to Vicky and Nicola for making our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more.
Diana & Tom
We stayed in the big barn the night before and the newly renovated 1 bed, cart barn the night of the wedding. Both are so lovely and would go back and stay there outside of the wedding! Thank you so much for making it more special than we could have ever have imagined!
Isabel and Tom
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.

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.
Wow… where to begin…. Nicola, Peter & Viki made our wedding so special… from the planning to the big day… it was seamless…. Nothing was to much trouble at all, we felt in such good hands and our wedding day was the best day of our lives! Everything was taken care of behind the scenes so there was absolutely no stress on the day! Our guests are still commenting on how beautiful Hendall is and how amazing everyone is who is involved!
We can’t Thank Hendall enough for everything they have done for us!
Also staying in the beautiful cottage added an extra special touch to our wedding!
We 100% would recommend Hendall as a wedding Venue, such a stunning venue and wonderful owners!
Many thanks again

Georgie and Ross had to postpone their wedding several times due to Covid but finally on a sunny day in October 2021 they were third time lucky! It was an absolutely beautiful October wedding.
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.
Mike
A truly beautiful venue in gorgeous surroundings! Loved that we had scope to put completely our own stamp on our day but also with great guidance throughout. All of the recommended suppliers were excellent and we always felt reassured that Nicola & team were on top of things. We had such a perfect day – cannot thank you enough!
Thank you so much!
Christina & Richard
Nicola , Peter and Viki are amazing and so helpful though out always on hand to help answer questions and support us though the planning!
Amazing place to get married so special! So many guests commented on how amazing it was and so much space for photos throughout the day.
Matt Butler
Nicola, Peter and Viki made our whole day special and made sure everything ran smoothly. The venue is just stunning, inside and out. We are so pleased we were able to get married here. It suited us all for all our needs as we could stay in the on-site accommodation the night before too. There are so many different places for photo opportunities, the possibilities are endless. I was able to put my own stamp on the venue, using all the bits I had spent time crafting to add little touches to make it so special to us.
Thank you again, we really did have the most perfect day.
Sophie & Paul Whetton
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
Lovely brand new converted barn. Great amenities, great countryside location – shops and country pubs only a few miles away. Nicola and Peter were super friendly and welcoming. We wished we had found this place earlier during our stay in England.

We celebrated our Golden Wedding Anniversary at Hendall Manor Barns in September 2024.
From start to finish all was perfection and we had the most wonderful, memorable day.
Nicola, Peter and Viki, were charming and could not have been more helpful. At the initial meeting with Nicola and Viki, they went through every detail of what we might like to consider from the layout of the tables to flowers to photographer, etc., etc. including a substantial list of recommended caterers. We chose Elliott Catering and were blessed with Lisa who was equally delightful, helpful and organised.
Hendall Manor Barns are set in beautiful countryside, between Crowborough and Uckfield, at the end of a long driveway. The buildings themselves are attractive, stone construction making a lovely light and airy venue. There is a pleasant terrace and inner courtyard for guests wishing to take a break or enjoy drinks before or after the main event. There is ample parking, under cover and close to the venue.
Our guests wrote afterwards to say what a wonderful day it had been, how much they enjoyed themselves and are still mentioning it nearly six months later! Several guests who live locally, commented that they were unaware such a charming and delightful spot existed and they would definitely bear it in mind for a future occasion. There was also high praise for Lisa and her catering team.
The care and consideration that was shown to us from start to finish was faultless. We cannot recommend Nicola and Peter highly enough. It was like a second wedding reception without the nerves.
Thank you!
