Somewhere your visions can come together
We want to say a great big gigantic thank you for all that you for allowing us to hold our special day at your venue. We were not sure if a year was going to be a tight turn for planning such a wedding with independent decisions, but we are so please to say we did it!!!
The venue was absolutely perfect and everybody has said how pretty it was and how the venue made it an ideal wedding.
When we got engaged, obviously the first thing to do was jump on google and search venues for small weddings in Sussex, as I knew we didn’t want the large numbers – although there were times I worried our numbers were too small but this worry was all for nothing as in the end less than 100 was absolutely perfect and everyone we wanted was with us on our special day. The very first link that popped out at me on my search, was this stone barn in East Sussex and I suppose I knew then it was the place – we then only visited 2 other similar venues and a large manor one, but our decision was instantly made when we first visited Hendall.
Thank you for helping to keep the planning on track and appreciate your patience for the decisions we made – we just knew that with a magnificent setting of the barn there were so many ideas than can be had outside the box and I am pleased our visions came together on the day and all the details made our day magical. Having you guys on the day was an extra part that really meant a lot seeing as we have been through a journey of planning together and on the day it just went by so effortlessly knowing you had our guests in the right places at the right time.
The whole day went by with plenty of moments for my ‘husband and I’ to take it all in and spend time with our wonderful family and friends. I think the greatest feedback we have had from our guests is how they all had a wonderful day and spoke to each other many of whom had never met. This was one of the criteria we wanted when looking for a venue – somewhere where everyone can be a part of the day together and not have guests scattered around different parts of a venue. Hendall was just the absolute perfect size for this for people to mingle and for us to be able to speak to each and everyone of our guests.
The weather is a whole different story – I think we had nearly every extreme possible – bright warm sun, downpours, thunder and lightening, hail, then lots more sun and dry spells in between – it was certainly a show of its own!!!! There wasn’t much else to be had but even that didn’t hinder having the greatest wedding at Hendall, as guests swiftly moved themselves around to accommodate and it was not a big concern of the day.
The guests and ourselves had a marvellous time and just wished they could have continued to dance the night away.
