Weddings at The Granary Estates
The Granary Estates is a unique, elegant barn venue on the Suffolk/ Cambridgeshire border.

The venue consists of two, original flint barns linked by an open glass walkway with views over a stunning private courtyard. Holding a licence for ceremonies, the barns are perfect for intimate celebrations but can also accommodate larger weddings for up to 175 guests.
The Estates’ dedicated and enthusiastic Weddings Team have the knowledge and experience to provide full support in assisting couples to organise their special day from the early booking stages right through to the end of the evening reception.
With both Stansted Airport and Cambridge both under an hour drive away and London nearby, the barns are in prime location for those travelling from a far.

The Reception
Whichever option you choose for your ceremony, our dedicated team and your chosen caterers will be waiting in the wings, armed with celebratory drinks.
Our exceptionally manicured courtyard, bursting with seasonal blooms and vintage stables, welcomes you and your guests to the start of the celebrations. From here, guests dance, drink and mingle until its time to reveal the main barn, set and ready for the evening. And then, with the end of tearjerking speeches and delicious dishes, commences the music and partying.
The 18th Century Granary Barn is the focal point of your wedding celebrations, with natural flint and timber running throughout and boasting rustic charm. Left untouched or styled with personal touches, the space offers great flexibility and versatility.

Did you know, we are able to style both of these ceremony locations with the props from our prop shop? Think elegant white draping from the beams in the main barn, fairy lights canopies and rustic display easels.
