I had the pleasure of photographing Clare and Andy wedding at Southend barns this was a wedding venue I fell in love with when I was looking for my own wedding however due to the number of guests I wanted I had to go else where so when Clare and Andy told me this was where they had chosen I could not wait to be there wedding photographer. So who would of thought no April showers this year and the most amazing weather this day. Clare had thought of everything so many lovely details and bits around the venue which really put there personal stamp on the day. I simply can not wait to design a wedding album for these two.

Here is a little sneak peek of photographs from the day.

We live and breathe weddings here at Southend Barns and will always go that extra mile to ensure you have the perfect day. From pre-wedding planning and viewings to preparations on the day, which can mean hoovering the lawn, removing puddles and providing little extras such as marshmallows to toast on the fire pit, flowers for the bathrooms, umbrellas, blankets and goodies for the bridal suite – no detail is too small!

Our Dairy Barn is fully licensed for civil ceremonies and partnerships. With its exposed beams and muted color scheme, the barn can be kept simple and stunning or styled to suit your theme. The barn can seat up to 90 guests on our sweet chestnut benches and has a beautiful sweeping aisle and plenty of natural lighting to create the perfect setting for a romantic wedding ceremony.

Our local registry office is based on Orchard Street in the nearby city of Chichester. As registrars operate separately to venues, it is important that you reserve your registrar prior to confirming your booking with us. The registry office can be contacted on 01243 642122.
