Testimonials

Southend Barns, To the DREAM TEAM! What can we both say other than a massive THANK YOU! You have all made this day more than we could have dreamed that it would be. Organising a wedding from Dubai was not easy, however you were all there & so supportive whenever we needed you. The venue & your team have made this day so very special! Thank you again for everything.

Where to start!! There is a lifetime of build up to a wedding, people dream about that day so for us to be able to say that it was more than we could have imagined is a huge thing. Every detail was looked after, nothing was too much and you made us feel like the most special people in the world! The day was seamless, from arriving & having a bottle of champagne ready for the groom, to how safe you made me feel before I took my first steps down the aisle. The food was breathtaking, we both wish we weren't so nervous so we could have eaten more. The beef and pavlova were the stars of the show. You have given us the most incredible memories that we will keep for a life time, we can't thank you enough! Can we come and do it all again??

Jessica & Nathan

To all the team at Southend Barns & Roots Catering, We just wanted to say thank you so much for making our day so amazing. It really was the best day of our lives and we are incredibly grateful for all the hard work you guys put in to ensure everything ran smoothly.

Amy & Carlos

A woefully late thank you to you all (Sophie, Amie, Marc, Mariella and everyone else) for having us last week. We had the best day and can’t thank you enough for everything you did to make it happen. We can’t believe that it was our “take 3” wedding - it exceeded all our expectations! So a huge thank you again. Pete’s sister has already decided to have her wedding with you (and she’s not even engaged!). 

Sophie & Peter

To everyone at Southend Barns. Thank you so much. You helped us get through all of our changed plans, months of uncertainty and many ups and downs of wedding planning and we ended up having the most perfect day! We are so appreciative of everything you did to make our day special. P.S we’re still all thinking about those salted caramel profiteroles.
