String Quartet at Farbridge Barn

We're delighted to share another of our absolute favourite barn venues with you: the simply stunning Farbridge Barn in West Sussex!

Farbridge is more than just a beautiful wedding location; it’s a collection of lovingly restored barns with a rich and fascinating history. Originally built as farm buildings, the architecture retains an authentic, rustic charm that has been perfectly blended with contemporary elegance. Stepping inside, you can truly feel the history woven into the incredible wooden beams and high ceilings—it’s a space that feels both grand and incredibly welcoming.

Familiar Faces and Fabulous Hospitality

The Bossard String Quartet has been fortunate enough to be regular visitors to Farbridge, not only for countless gorgeous weddings but also for several wonderful wedding fairs. This means we know the venue and, most importantly, the team incredibly well.

We genuinely love working with the staff at Farbridge. They are consistently professional, exceptionally organised, and always have a lovely, calm presence that ensures every wedding day flows beautifully. They also happen to serve an absolutely excellent cup of tea, which, as working musicians, is a crucial detail that makes our setup and sound checks even more enjoyable!

Music in a Magical Space

From a musical perspective, Farbridge is a dream. The layout and acoustics of the barn areas are truly special:

• The Main Barn (Ceremony): We often perform in this magnificent space for the wedding ceremony. The high ceilings and wooden structure provide amazing acoustics that enhance the natural resonance of our string quartet. Every note sounds warm, clear, and rich—perfect for those significant 'I do' moments.

• The Drinks Reception Flow: Once the ceremony concludes, we love it when the double doors are flung open, allowing guests to step out into the courtyard for the drinks reception. We simply continue playing right from the main barn area, allowing the music to drift easily outside, creating a seamless and sophisticated transition from ceremony to celebration.

• The Wedding Breakfast: Later in the day, we often move into the larger barn area to provide a refined background soundtrack during the wedding breakfast. It’s a joy to play for guests as they chat and dine under those wonderful beams.

Farbridge manages to strike the perfect balance between history, elegance, and comfort, making it a spectacular venue for any celebration. If you’re searching for a historic, breathtaking barn in West Sussex with an equally fantastic team, you must pay them a visit!
