We had the most amazing wedding at Ridge Farm and couldn't recommend it highly enough. The venue is absolutely stunning, with beautiful grounds that barely need any decoration. The rustic setting is incredibly versatile, with plenty of space for guests to relax and enjoy themselves. One of our favourite things was the second day. It was so much fun to continue the celebrations, debrief with everyone about the wedding, and make even more memories together. The pool was a huge hit and made the whole weekend feel extra special. A special thank you to Eleanor, who was amazing from start to finish. Her support throughout the planning and on the day itself helped everything run so smoothly, and we can't thank her enough. The whole team were friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. Shout out as well to our incredible photographer Danielle from D&J Photography and Chef Ian from The Real Chef Ian, who helped make the day absolutely perfect.

I can’t believe there is ay better wedding venue out there than Ridge Farm. It couldn’t be more perfect. It’s absolutely stunning for a start and has a really cool history being an old recording studio. We loved that our close friends could stay on site meaning the wedding was 3 nights in total and we could enjoy and see everyone. It has everything, a truly unique woodland area where you can get legally married, a lovely lawn for drinks, a huge room for the meal, a separate cottage for the bridal party to get ready in, ample space to sleep. But on top of all of this, it’s family run with some amazing people who work there & create a relaxed atmosphere where everyone can have fun and enjoy, and you can really make it your own for the weekend. You can choose your own caterers too but we couldn’t recommend Chef Ian more who often works at Ridge Farm, him and his team were fabulous. Every guest commented on how wonderful the venue was. And a pool for day 2 was unbelievably good! I only wish we could do it

My partner and I got married at Ridge Farm last Saturday, and had the best weekend of our lives. It is a truly unique venue in every way - from the stunning setting, the outdoor ceremony space and fantastic onsite accommodation, to the building's amazing history. Eleanor and the team went above and beyond and were fantastic to work with at every stage of the wedding plann

My husband and I had our wedding at Ridge Farm in May and cannot even put into words how grateful we are. Eleanor and her team employ such kindness, cheerfulness, and calm, making the day feel so smooth and easy. We felt cared for every moment, from our arrival, to the wedding, to the departure. Being able to spend a day relaxing after the wedding, and not having to pack up right away is also a big plus and gave us a moment to decompress before real life. Every single piece of the property is designed with such care, you can feel the love that goes into every space, from the guest bedrooms in the main house, to the pool house, to the surrounding gardens. You can really tell that this is a family-run operation because the love and care that went into eve

I don’t have the words to say how good the weekend was. Everything is thought about, every, single, member of staff was friendly and couldn’t be more helpful without any intrusiveness. The property itself and land is immaculate and absolutely Breathe taking. If you are looking to book ridge for a wedding - use Chef Ian and his team for catering, and Jo Earl for florist, both amazing and easy to work with Al

After some issues with a previous venue and postponement (thanks covid!), we were feeling pretty down - however, this definitely goes in the 'everything happens for a reason' camp as we had the ost amazing wedding at Ridge Farm. Eleanor and the team were incredible on the run up and on the day, everything was clear, well-organised and the day ran like a dream. There is loads of space for family to stay with you all weekend and the bridal cottage is really special. The whole place felt like home for the weekend and we loved the pool, hot tub and barbecue the next day - it was great to be able to carry on the celebrations. Everything is super flexible and everything felt so relaxed which was exactly th
