About Elms Barn

Elms Barn is a 17th Century Manor House and Barn on the Norfolk/Suffolk Boarder with rose gardens, woodland, fields, stalely home and waterside photo opportunities. With 25 years of weddings under our belts we offer exclusive 3 day hire and have in house planning, on the day coordination, catering, drinks, florals and on site accommodation from our expert team. Everything you could need for a calm and stress free planning process and wedding. We help build every wedding to be completely bespoke.

Our beautifully restored Grade II listed barn provides a charming and rustic backdrop for your ceremony and reception. Renovated specifically with weddings in mind every element of the space is optimised for a marriage celebration. The airy interior features exposed beams, elegant chandeliers, and a warm, inviting ambience. With ample space for up to 120 guests for a seated dinner and 200 for an evening celebration, Elms Barn can accommodate weddings of all sizes.
The Barn itself is adjoined by a permeant fully lines, heated marquee with a wooden floor, the perfect breakout space for guests as the main barn is transformed from the ceremony to the wedding breakfast, wedding breakfast to evening party. It also offers a fabulous space for those who find a disco a little overwhelming to retreat in the evening. The marquee means that regardless of weather guests can enjoy the cocktail hour and mingle at every wedding no matter if they are in January or July.
Dreaming of an outdoor ceremony? We do that too! Our whimsical rose garden is the ideal place for an outdoor ceremony with the arch of perfectly manicured roses becoming the aisle and guests facing towards the couple for a more personal ceremony that is loved by registrars and celebrant alike.
Our dedicated wedding team is passionate about creating bespoke experiences tailored to your unique vision. From the initial planning stages to the day of your celebration, they will assist as much as you need through this magical journey. With in house catering, offering everything from canapes to fabulous wedding breakfasts, tailored to your liking, to dirty burgers in the evening; florists bringing your vision to life. On site accommodation for 24 guests and much more locally if needed in Loddon and Beccles. And day of coordination to ensure your timeline is as seamless as when we planned it.
We really get to know every one of our couples so we are just as excited you are getting married as you are.

The cut off is midnight, I can apply for a 1am extension for a few weddings each year, this works on a first come first served basis.
