Well Hidden, Worth Finding


After 20 years hosting hundreds of weddings Dove Barn closed its’ doors as a wedding venue in 2022. We thank all our couples and their guests for the fun and laughter we have had with them. All the wedding expertise accumulated over the last 20 years is now fully focussed at our other venue, Houchins just outside Coggeshall in Essex.

Dove Barn, tucked away in its’ quiet corner of South Suffolk just outside the village of Boxford is being re-purposed as a creative space for art exhibitions, photo shoots, art classes and other creative events. If you think Dove Barn would be the right place to host your event please contact us by email.

The ‘essence’ of Dove Barn weddings has moved to our new venue at Houchins Farm, Coggeshall.  Houchins is licensed for civil ceremonies both inside and outside for between 20 – 150 guests. In addition to the unique barn conversion and romantic gardens Houchins offers luxurious accommodation for up to 16 guests in the historic grade 2* listed farmhouse houchins.co.uk
