Beyond perfection.

"Wow – The Sancroft Barns is the best, simply the most stunning venue there is. 
The barn has exposed wooden beams, tracks in the floors from when it was a working barn and gigantic doors to let in loads of natural light. Jeremy and Rachael went above and beyond every single step of the way. We were invited to every Open Day, had constant communication and were always welcomed with warm, open arms. We had a pre-wedding meeting close to the wedding date and ran through everything which really put our mind at ease. We had a thorough rehearsal of the ceremony the day before which was incredibly helpful and also did one last run through of the entire venue and running of the day – we knew whatever happened after that Jeremy and Rachael would have everything in hand – they truly do make you feel like the most important people in the world. 
Our wedding day was beyond perfection and we truly can’t thank them enough for everything, the most stunning hosts with the most incredible venue. We viewed a few wedding venues before and none of them even come close to The Sancroft Barns, it truly is one of a kind and the fact you can make the entire space your own is so beautiful. If you are thinking of viewing and booking The Sancroft Barns, please do – we are now just trying to convince everyone else to get married there so we can find an excuse to go back and enjoy again! We can’t thank you enough for everything Jeremy, Rachael (and your wonderful team) – The Sancroft Barns will forever hold the most special place in our hearts."

Picture perfect dream wedding.

"The Sancroft Barns was the most beautiful venue for our wedding. Jeremy and Rachael are two of the friendliest, most helpful people we have ever met. Their attention to detail was impeccable meaning not a single thing was out of place on the day. They made sure to know of every little detail we imagined for the day and delivered on EVERYTHING + so much more! They didn’t stop the entire day but the smiles never left their faces, the other members of the team were also incredible! There is so much more I could say but really all I need to say is BOOK THIS VENUE; you will not be disappointed, they will exceed all of your expectations, their property and barn are picture perfect and you can tell they love what they do. 
I’m so glad we decided on this venue that was a little further away from home - forever grateful to you both Jeremy & Rachael, thank you from the both of us for giving us our dream wedding at your beautiful property!"

The most perfect day.

"Thank you so much to Jeremy and Rachael and the team for helping us make our wedding day so special, everyone loved the venue and praised it so heavily and it was exactly what I was looking for for our wedding! The Sancroft Barn crew were so responsive and lovely during the planning process and made everything so smooth for us and our suppliers. Everyone had a great time and was happy not to have to go too far after all the celebrations to get some sleep! Everything on offer from the venue itself was so useful, and being able to pick our own suppliers made the day so special and unique to us! I also really appreciated having the list of suppliers trusted by the venue shared with us to have a head start in finding people to make the day special.
Thanks again for helping our vision come true and hosting the most perfect day, Mikayla and Sam"

Beautiful, flexible, versatile.

"Matt and I got married at the Sancroft Barns on the 25th May 2024. We choose the venue as it fitted our requirements these being mainly flexibility and versatility, the day and venue did not disappoint. Providing us and our guests with the most laidback, fun, stress free but professional wedding. The barn itself has been beautifully restored and makes for the most stunning backdrop for photos. The grounds are perfect for camping and also offer picture perfect settings. Jeremy and his family were amazing from the first contact, nothing was ever too much trouble and they made sure the day ran smoothly, effortlessly without us even noticing. We had so many comments about the venue and the way it was run, so high praise for Jeremy and his “team”. 
We would highly recommend The Sancroft Barns for anyone getting married or even wanting to hold a party or event, we will definitely be having parties here in the future. "

This venue is beautiful.

"This venue is beautiful! A real gem of a venue hidden in Suffolk which is really worthy of being so recognised. Jeremy & Rachel were amazing I cannot fault them; they made everything so easy to sorting so much out for us. I cannot thank them enough and cannot recommend them highly enough, the day ran smoothly thanks to them and their staff. Thanks again for all your hard work and efforts to make our day so so special."

Lovely scenic venue.

"Jeremy and his family are wonderful people with a beautiful venue! We were having a tiny micro wedding in the area, and in desperate need of a photography venue that could deliver moody, artsy photos. Jeremy was BEYOND accommodating with our needs, and the resulting photos were everything we hoped for. Such a kind person, with a lovely, scenic venue. Please do not hesitate to book them for your needs! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts."

Beautiful - couldn't have found a better place.

"We couldn’t have found a better place to have our wedding celebration. Jeremy, Rachael, and their team were unbelievably helpful throughout the whole process. There was ample room for our guests, a self-contained catering tent and kitchen, along with more than enough room for a stage, band and dancefloor inside. The surrounding grounds and barn itself are beautiful, which provided an amazing backdrop in wedding photos. We couldn’t recommend this venue more!"

What a party!

"We just wanted to say a huge thank you for providing such a perfect venue for Amelia & Dan’s wedding celebration last weekend.  What a party! They have still not come back down to earth, and there have been so many compliments. I think it goes without saying that everyone enjoyed themselves.
Thanks for all your help and support and for just being there. You were so generous in allowing us to pick flowers from your personal garden, the boys getting ready in your house and the photographs being taken there.
We will be recommending your venue to anyone who asks."

Perfect venue

10/10
"Tom and I got married at the Sancroft Barns this year and it was perfect!
From start to finish Jeremy and Rachael were incredibly helpful. No random request was too much work (even when Tom suggested he might sky dive into the wedding!) and they were easily contactable. They were full of local recommendations for food/drink/accommodation. You can really sense their enthusiasm for other people's happiness, treating you as individuals not just a client. It was a really nice touch having them around for the celebrations, mixing with our guests and generally having fun!
The venue is beautiful; great balance of indoor and outdoor space - exactly what we wanted! We were really lucky with the weather but even if the heavens had opened, it would have still been gorgeous.
We highly recommend the Sancroft Barns, whatever your occasion!

A magical day

"Our wedding at Sancroft Barns was so amazing, such a beautiful venue and our day was just perfect.
Jeremy and Rachael and the family were brilliant and made the day and process absolutely seamless, they couldn't do enough to help out wherever possible. Also the lead up to the wedding was fantastic from allowing you to view the barn for ideas to instantly answering the many questions we threw at them. The hire companies they also suggest to use were brilliant; between Sancroft and said companies it made hiring and getting everything there very easy. 
Somehow they made it feel like the most laid back day going (it probably wasn't for them), which I expect a lot of couples getting married can't say and everything flowed exactly as we hoped. We had so many people say it was the best wedding they'd been to which says a lot in itself. Thank you so much for a beautiful and perfect day."

Wonderful owners and a brilliant venue

"We planned our wedding party at the Sancroft Barns (which we’d had to postpone numerous times due to COVID) from Bangkok without having visited the venue, which could have turned out to be a complete disaster! But our experience couldn’t have been further from it. The barn is beautifully restored in gorgeous rural Suffolk; Jeremy, Rachael and their team couldn’t have been more helpful, flexible or accommodating right from the first enquiry I sent to them. They were completely unflappable on the day of the event when storm Anthony hit - we were camping in bell tents at the venue and they offered us their guest room inside the farmhouse to get ready, met our guests with umbrellas in the car park, had a basket of towels ready and really had everything covered too in terms of a wet weather plan. We really felt that they bought into the spirit of our party too and helped make it a brilliant afternoon and evening. 
I wholeheartedly recommend the venue, especially if you want to avoid the cookie cutter wedding venue conveyer belt - they are the opposite of this but still utterly reliable and professional. We’ll be forever grateful to them for hosting our wedding party and ensuring it was just as we wanted."

Gorgeous barn

"Wow what a stunning barn. No detail has been overlooked in its sympathetic restoration. The heating is brilliant - and we needed it that night, it was -4 outside!  Warm and cosy, lovely lighting, space to mingle then to have a sumptuous dinner, followed by some Dad dancing, courtesy of the modern speaker system installed! The new floor looks amazing too.
The barn has really been brought back to life, but you can still see all the history in its walls and on the beams. And even though we didn't use it (too cold!), the outside courtyard is a joy, and it has opened up the space magnificently.  Great venue, great party."

Stunning venue

"Thank you Rachel and Jeremy for offering us your stunning venue to host a surprise 60th party for Mum yesterday. It’s the most stunning venue, the perfect back drop to a party. You looked after us so well and were so generous with the preparations leading up to the party and on the day. 
Perfect venue for a perfect party. THANK YOU"

Such an amazing setting

"I recently got married at The Sancroft Barns - we were the venues first wedding since opening. We booked the venue in December 2021 when the barn was still in the middle of work being completed but we could tell Jeremy and Rachael had amazing ideas and plans for the space, everything came together perfectly!
As a 'dry hire' venue we had complete freedom to choose different suppliers and vendors, there was no set list we had to choose from like we had found with other venues. And we had no idea Jeremy and Rachael would go so above and beyond to help ensure the smooth running of the day, I don't think a single thing happened out of time or went even slightly wrong which I'm sure is unheard of with weddings.
There are amazing places around the grounds for photo opportunities, we were extremely lucky with the weather having beautiful sunshine and got some amazing sunset shots with their fields and gardens as the back drop - we can't wait to get our full album back to be able to share more with you. Anyone who is considering hiring glamping tents we would definitely recommend, it was so lovely the morning after the wedding waking up with family and friends, and being provided much-needed free tea and coffee.
We had so many lovely compliments from guests, and we wish you both every luck with the venue for the future. Thank you very much for being the setting for our big day, we will remember it forever and would recommend you to anyone."

An exceptional venue

"My daughter and now son-in-law recently married here having the wedding ceremony and receptions in the main barn and marquee. Nothing was too much trouble and the day was completely faultless.
An exceptional venue, incredible hosts and I cannot recommend Sancroft Barns as a wedding venue more highly."

So friendly

“You have such a beautiful venue, and you made us feel so at ease, taking time to show us round your gorgeous grounds, which really stood out from all the other venues we visited. It was such a friendly experience, and we will certainly recommend the venue to anyone looking in the future."

A truly gorgeous day

“What an amazing paddock at the Sancroft Barns - it’s such a gorgeous spot. We used all our own suppliers for the wedding, and Jeremy and Rachael couldn’t have been more helpful in making our day perfect. With loads of space it was a truly memorable day for us and our guests – thank you.”
