Our dream wedding day!
Amazing! Cissbury hosted our wedding on the 23rd October 2023. They were great from day one, showing us around the venue, listening to all our requests and responding promptly when needed. Michelle and the team did a fantastic job on the day and made sure it was exactly what we always dreamed of. 100% recommend if you are planning your big day!

An absolute dream
The team at Cissbury Barns were simply wonderful! Great communication during the organisation and Helen offered excellent insight from her experience to help us put everything together. On the night itself all the staff were friendly, helpful and hardworking and Helen made everything run smoothly and was working hard herself all evening. Altogether a very enjoyable experience and the barns are simply stunning meaning little to no decoration needed. Thanks Cissbury Barns!

Our Cissbury Dream
My wife and I had our wedding at Cissbury Barns on 10th October '23. From start to finish, Christina and the team were amazing - they helped us with literally everything as we were clueless! Anything we needed, Christina was at the end of the phone to advise, we were able to meet with her at the venue and go through every detail. The day itself was beautiful, and Christina & Team made sure the day ran smoothly, we didn't have to think about a thing! Cissbury Barns itself is a beautiful venue set in the downs, with fantastic views and plenty of beautiful photo opportunities. There are two separate barns next to each other, each decorated to your specifications for you. There's a bar, an on-site kitchen and an optional marquee for bands to play under outside. All in all, if I could do the day again I would! And I wouldn't change anything <3 Thank you so much to everyone at Cissbury for making our day so magical xxx

Honestly we couldn't be Happier
We recently had our wedding at Cissbury, and we honestly couldn't be happier! We had the most magical day, and the Cissbury team did everything to bring our visions to life and gave us just the most perfect day. The team are so friendly and kind and the whole say was so relaxed and we didn't have to worry about a thing.

We cannot get over how amazing the day was
My wife and I got married at Cissbury Barns in August and we still cannot get over how amazing the venue/day was. Michelle and her team were absolutely brilliant and took care of everything for us. There are lots of venues around but if you’re looking for a barn wedding in the countryside then Cissbury Barns is your answer! Thank you so much

Travel Notes

We are situated just off the A24 before you enter the village of Findon. As you turn into Nepcote (leading into Nepcote Lane) drive for 500 metres until you reach a very sharp left hand bend. At this bend turn immediately right into the Cissbury Estate. Follow the right hand track all the way down and then bare right and drive as if you are going into the horse stables. Then turn immediately left up the track to the Barns. Is is signposted as you enter Cissbury Estate.

Every single wedding day is special and so unique. We absolutely love each and every one of them. We are not a dry hire venue so we really get to know all of our couples and help and guide them through from the moment they book to being with them on their Wedding Day.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Enjoy the journey. The planning should be fun and enjoyable. Enjoy connecting with all your suppliers and getting creative with all your dreams and ideas for your day.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

It is true that the devil is in the detail. Favourite that is so difficult. I remember one couple who had 120 guests for their place setting they found a picture of that guest with them at some point in their lives and printed it off and made it into their place setting. You can imagine the reaction as everyone sat down and a great memory to share and talk about with everyone at the table. Loved it.
