Description
If you are looking for beautiful rustic barns and gardens, woodland and meadows as a backdrop for your day as well as the opportunity to create a wedding which could only belong to you, you may have found your venue!
Alpheton Hall barns is an ancient Barns and Woodland Wedding Venue close to Sudbury, Suffolk (on the Suffolk / Essex border). Two interconnected timber frame barns offer plenty of space for your civil (or other) ceremony and wedding reception without the need to 'flip' the space between events. Restored rather than converted, the Barns still feature their original big Barns doors which can be fully open in good weather allowing the outside in. The ancient honey coloured oak beams and lime plaster interiors together with the black feather-boarded exteriors work have a natural beauty which compliments any theme or colour scheme.
The Barns are furnished with tables and chairs and essentially everything you need for your ceremony and wedding reception. The South 'Reception' Barn is strung with a myriad of twinkly fairy lights and has lots of rustic detailing such as big iron hoop lights and vintage wooden ladders all with hanging Edison light bulbs, which look stunning on their own or dressed in foliage or flowers. And you are welcome to add your personal decorations to make it 'your' wedding venue.
Outside guests are invited to explore the heart-shaped wildflower confetti arboretum, the wedding garden with brick drinks terraces, bar cart and space for garden games and the Barns courtyard with woodfired pizza oven, ideal for evening food. Whilst the couple can wander into the gardens, woodland and meadows around the Barns for their couples photographs.
Suitable for both intimate and larger celebrations. Live music is welcome and the Barns have excellent acoustics and space for a Ceilidh or Barn dance should you wish. Open bar permitted with no corkage payable.
The Alpheton Hall Barns is an exclusive use 'blank canvas' venue. Prices are for Barn rental only but local trusted suppliers would be more than happy to put together a food and drinks package for your day or you can choose your own (subject to approval). Owners Nic and Carol have more than 15 years experience in helping couples host their weddings and love that each wedding is personal to the couple

- BBianca14/11/2018The best day everThe best day everOur wedding day could not have gone more perfectly and the overwhelming factor of this was Alpheton Hall Barns and Nick, the venue owner. He went over and above the call of duty, helping out with all the set-up the day before, putting us at ease with lots of jokes and offering lots of advice. On the actual day it was like there was five of him - taking photos, fixing the sound/lighting, organising the suppliers and getting the photographer/videographer in place when needed. Amazing!

Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
Tragically the wedding where the event came between the death of the bride's mother and her funeral. The bride and her family were amazing emotional but incredible. We were all in awe of them. Everyone could not do enough for them. Save for the tragedy it was the unachievable perfect wedding.
