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.
@elmsbarnweddings One wedding hack that makes the biggest difference to how relaxed you feel on wedding day. booking a 3 day exclusive venue. 3 days allows the wedding couple to come in the day before to complete any last bits of set up. meet the wedding party have a rehearsal or maybe get all of your nearest and dearest together for a pre wedding bbq or other get together meaning that come wedding day everyone has already done the meet and greet and your wedding is all about the couples love rather than becoming a family reunion. this leaves wedding day to be a fully immersive experience for you no rushing to get in for hair and make up no worrying if things have been set up properly just good vibes all day long. day 3 is time to wind down. no need to rush for another couple to get in the perfect time to have a brunch in the barn to debrief about the perfect wedding that has just been. having 3 full days to enjoy in exactly the way that is best for the bride groom and all their guests really is the ultimate wedding hack and makes the whole experience complete. there is nothing better DM for more info about Elms Barn on the Norfolk Suffolk Boarder we love chatting everything wedding! #weddingdirector #weddingcoordinator #weddingplanner #suffolkwedding #norfolkwrdding #barnwedding #barnweddingvenue #barnweddingnuk #ukwedding #weddinghack #weddingtip #weddingvibes
