Testimonials

Tamara - "Absolutely loved this venue for our wedding in August. Such a beautiful venue with outstanding views and gorgeous orchard made for a really magical day. Was also big enough for 150 guests. Perhaps most important is how great Mel and Steve are to work with. Such good communication throughout the whole process, so lovely and friendly and just such a relaxed and calming presence. Just so important and we couldn't have asked for more."

Elena - "If you’re thinking about having your wedding at The Cherry Barn, do it! We got married here last year and were so happy with everything. The place has a real ‘wow factor’ – the barn itself is beautiful and the views are stunning, so we got the most amazing wedding pics. Also, our guests loved that it was so close to beautiful Rye – most made a weekend of it. Mel and Steve are the perfect hosts, too. They are so responsive (I had a lot of questions!), went out of their way to help with anything and are just genuinely really lovely people. Would 100% recommend."
