Steph and Neil’s Wedding at Cissbury Barns in Sussex

A wedding venue in Findon

Set in the South Downs National Park’s rolling hills, Cissbury Barns in Sussex is a romantic and relaxed setting for a dream wedding. As you approach through the long scenic driveway, the beautiful rustic barns reveal themselves in all their glory.

Both of the Cissbury Barns have a license for wedding ceremonies, and the venue offers exclusive use of the grounds. Original brickwork and original oak beams are just some of the beautiful features of these genuinely magnificent barns, so it’s no surprise that this is such a popular venue to tie the knot!

After the wedding ceremony, couple’s can kick back and relax in the Ceremonial garden and idyllic courtyard for their reception drinks in a peaceful and tranquil setting.

On offer is the lambing pens for a unique and novel bar plus lounge area, including a Petanque court for entertaining outdoor games. The venue can accommodate up to 120 guests and suits anywhere from the more intimate wedding to larger, lavish affairs.

Steph and Neil are a relaxed and fun-loving couple who married at these beautiful barns in the Spring. The day began around the corner in local accommodation, where Steph and her bridal party got ready for the day. The bride looked fantastic as she arrived and met Neil at the end of the aisle to exchange their vows. It was an eloquent ceremony with both couples very excited, and I knew this would be a wonderful wedding.

Afterwards, the newlyweds emerged from the barns to handfuls of confetti, and the gorgeous sunshine helped create a peaceful and laid back atmosphere in the garden as the guests flocked to congratulate Steph and Neil. After they’d had plenty of fizz, it was time for some romantic time alone, and I lead them around the ground to take in the beautiful scenery.

There were some moving speeches and hysterical laughter as the speeches got underway, and love and excitement filled the air. As the sun went down, we nipped out into the fields for five minutes for some beautiful golden hour photos before it was time for the first dance to begin.

Steph and Neil were amazing to work with at Cissbury Barns, and I’m delighted that they loved the images from the day.

“Thank you for doing such an amazing job with our wedding photos! We have so many favourites that it was difficult to choose just one for the front of our thank you cards! It really felt like you went the extra mile for all aspects of the day…..we are so grateful for your commitment and creativity.” – Steph & Neil.
