We had the best experience with South Farm. From helping us figure out our fusion wedding, to all the details being so well executed, we honestly had an incredible day. The staff in particular deserve a real shout out, they were all so helpful, kind, discreet and thoughtful b

From the first phone call to enquire about a viewing, we were met with enthusiasm and kindness and every time we called or visited after we were treated with the same compassion, with everyone using our names and speaking to us as if they knew us personally. Needless to say, after our first viewing we didn't even look at any other venues! All queries were met with helpful responses and nothing was ever too much trouble, even some slightly odd or out of the ordinary requests. The communication throughout the build-up was outstanding, the visits and meetings all met with huge excitement for us as a couple and for our wedding. The venue began to feel 'like home' and we enjoyed every trip and visit. From tours with our respective parties, to the menu tasting and Apple Shed viewing, then dropping off items a few days before the big day, all just added to the experience. On the day, what can I say, it ran seamlessly and with what I assume, were no hiccups! If there were any, we were not made aware of any and had the most perfect, magical day! From the moment myself and the bridesmaids arrived, everything went to plan, it was tranquil and calm. Housekeeping came when they said and delivered the extra bits I requested straight away. They were also accommodating when we popped round with the gift bags etc to distribute to rooms before the guests arrived. Helen arrived was the perfect event manager, keeping us up to date and informed of all the day's proceedings and letting us know the running of the day and where we needed to be and when. And again, met us, with the same air of enthusiasm and kindness we have grown to love from South Farm. Our guests have all fed back to us how amazing the venue was from the setting to the food and how it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to! The photos we have from friends and family are stunning and I cannot wait until we see the professional ones. We can't quite find enough complimentary words for you all and to express how much we enjoyed our day! And we will recommend you to anyone and everyone as it really was the most perfect day, and that is not just beca

Thank you SO much to you and everyone at South Farm for all the hard work that went into making our wedding day completely perfect. The venue itself was beautiful of course (particular shout out to the duck family that watched the ceremony) but what really stood out to us was how completely seamless the day was. A special thank you to Helen for solving any issues long before we knew of them and making sure everyone was happy and in the right place. It is truly amazing how well-oiled the South Farm operation is. I also hugely appreciate the time and thought that went into the planning process - someone was always quick to respond to my (many) emails, and the planning day itself was so thorough that it completely put our minds at ease. The food was also stunning, we had so many guests compliment it - several saying it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. We had the m

Our wedding at South Farm was the most magical day. I can't recommend South Farm and the brilliant team who work there more. From the very beginning, the South Farm team were incredibly attentive, helpful, friendly, professional and flexible - we felt supported throughout. Wedding planning didn't feel stressful with them there for us. On the day, Hayley and the team were wonderful - we felt so relaxed, calm, and in control thanks to them and didn't have to worry about anything. They worked so hard to make it the perfect day for us and the guests, and yet we barely saw any of it. True professionals. The venue itself is a dream: the house and the barns are beautiful and make for stunning backdrops for a wonderful wedding. The gardens are out of this world: so beautiful and you really feel like you are in your own little special world for the day. The accommodation is excellent: luxurious, comfortable and well equipped with everything you need for the best day. The food is brilliant: local, fresh, sustainable, and delicious. All hats off to the chefs and kitchen team. All our guests said that it's the best wedding food they have ever had. And the wines and drink selection is great. South Farm let us have the most magical day. We've been married n

We could not have asked for a better venue to host our wedding than South Farm. It was the perfect countryside farm location for our big day. Every single part of the venue is absolutely stunning and beautifully maintained, with so much character and lots of extra little touches like fairy lights which make the rooms look even prettier. Every location across the venue is guaranteed to look gorgeous no matter the season, and their ecofriendly approach to weddings makes South Farm even more outstanding. The South Farm team are so helpful, super organised and responsive when we had any questions about the planning process. They provided us with lots of useful recommendations throughout the whole process to help us bring our wedding vision to life, helping with everything from proof-reading our invitations to checking with guests about allergies. During our planning meeting and on the big day, our event manager Nikki was an absolute rockstar! She was so much fun to have around and kept everything running like clockwork. All of the food was incredible; a lot of it is grown on site and you can taste how fresh the ingredients are. We are also in awe of the fact that the catering team managed to cater for so many different dietary requirements without anyone having to miss out! Everyone said the food was amazing and there were definitely no hungry guests. The breakfast the day after was delicious as well and the onsite accommodation is beautifully decorated, super clean and really comfy too. Every member of staff was so friendly and thoughtful throughout the entire day from the moment we arrived until we left after breakfast the next morning. Everyone went out of their way to make sure that we had the best time possible, down to the smallest details, like moving our memorial table outside so it was near our ceremony area and saving extra canapes for my husband and I so we didn’t miss out while taking photos. So many of our guests commented on how lovely the all the staff were and how everyone seemed to genuinely enjoy working there and were happy to talk to our family and friends. It’s clear how hard everyone works; how much they all care about South Farm and about their couples having a fantastic time. And we couldn’t leave a South Farm review without mentioning the BABY PIGLETS!!! They are soooo adorable and we were lucky enough to be able to say hello to them! So many of our guests enjoyed walking around the venue and meeting the chickens and baby goats and donkeys and the piggies, especially the kids and the grandparents! We have had so many family members and friends tell us it was the best wedding they have ever been to, from the venue spaces to the food to the staff and the accommodation. They are still talking about it 2 months on! It really is a one-of-a-kind venue with the most phenomenal team of people. We could not have had a more spectacular, joyful, wonderful wedding day and we can only say thank you to the whole team at South Farm for giving us the most magical wedding ever – it was all we

South Farm organised and ran the perfect wedding day. From the level of communication and planning beforehand, sorting everything to the finest detail, and allowing us to make adjustments as we required them, to the day itself which ran impeccably. We had nothing to think about on the day, allowing us to just be in the moment as husband and wife, celebrating with our friends and family. We want one of our friends to get married there so we can experience the magic again as soon as possible. A special shout out to our event manager Hayley who took the utmost care of us on the day, but the

Looking for a wedding venue? Look no further than South Farm. From the moment we booked until the day after our wedding, the entire team went above and beyond to make our day absolutely perfect. Every detail was handled with care, professionalism, and genuine warmth, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment. A special thank you goes to our incredible Events Manager, Julie, who was outstanding throughout the whole process. Her support, organisation, and attention to detail gave us complete confidence that everything would run smoothly. We'd also like to give a special mention to Claire, who beautifully set up our room and looked after breakfast the following morning. Her hard work, attention to detail, and friendly manner helped make our stay even more special and was very much appreciated. The whole South Farm team were exceptional, and we'd like to specifically thank Julie, Claire, Deborah, Eva, Summer, Christine, Emily, and Nikki. Every interaction we had was friendly, professional, helpful, and reassuring. It was clear throughout our wedding journey that everyone genuinely cared about making our day unforgettable. A shout-out also goes to DJ Gary, who did an amazing job. The atmosphere on the dance floor was great, and the lighting setup created the perfect party environment. Our guests were dancing all night and had an absolutely fantastic time. South Farm is a truly magical venue with beautiful grounds, outstanding food, and an exceptional team. We have received countless compliments from our guests about how amazing the venue, staff, food, and overall experience were. Thank you to everyone at South Farm for making our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more. We couldn

From the initial sight I fell in love with south farm as a venue. After meeting with the staff it solidified that this was the venue for us. Their attention to detail and care is amazing. The communication from them was great and very clear and I always felt I knew what was happening! On the day we had Helen who was so attentive ensuring we were okay all day and grabbing anything we needed. She ensured that the day ran on time which I was very thankful for as I had no clue what time of day it was! She took care of not only us but all the guests during our time there. The food was amazing and we received many compliments about the staff and food from the venue. Thank you very much for making our day go exactly how we

South Farm were absolutely incredible. The venue is so stunning and such a fun place for guests with all of the animals about. The help in planning the big day was fantastic and ensured that nothing was missed, we would have forgotten so many details without the guidance from the South Farm staff. On the day of the wedding, the staff are so unbelievably professional and guide you through everything that's happening and make sure to give you as the couple moments alone to enjoy the day together. And the biggest bonus of all, the new Apple Shed for the bridal party to get ready in. It is gorgeous and relieves any stress of having to travel t

From start to finish, South Farm were an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the moment we visited during an open day, we knew it was the venue for us and booked there and then. Every interaction leading up to the day - from the taster evenings to discussing all the finer details - was handled with such professionalism, warmth and care. The team were always incredibly responsive, organised and genuinely lovely to deal with. On the wedding day itself, everything ran seamlessly. The team were so accommodating and made the entire day feel effortless and completely magical. I

A truly amazing venue for the most perfect wedding!! We could not have been happier with our wedding day last week. Everything was perfect from all of the spaces and grounds to the food and service! We first visited south farm 4+ years ago when we first got engaged and have been in love with the venue ever since!! We would like to thank everyone at South Farm for being amazing, with a special thank you to Helen, our coordinator. Helen ensured that the day ran smoothly and everything was perfect for us and our guests! We were due to get married in the summer house but due to the rain were unable to, Helen was so helpful in explaining how to day would now run as we would be getting married in the old dairy and also came up with multiple options regarding the group photos and confetti walk depending on the weather after th

From our first viewing at South Farm, we were just blown away by how beautiful it was, the whole place is maintained to a high standard, even the animals are all kept beautifully and make the whole place feel full of life while also giving that tranquil countryside feel. We were always welcomed with warmth and smiles from all the staff who are generally happy to see you. They clearly love the work that they do too which makes a huge impact on service and experience. We were never made to feel like any of our requests were not reasonable and the staff were so attentive, responded quickly to any questions we had and always went above and beyond to accommodate us. We decided to stay the night of our tasting evening in the very comfortable onsite accommodation so that we could get more of a feel for being there. The food is 10/10 and the English breakfast in the morning was also fantastic, complemented by South Farm's very own fresh apple and orange juices. An eco-conscious venue and they use a lot of their own produce grown onsite, everything is so fresh and delicious. Our wedding day, what a day! All the planning we had done together up to the morning of our wedding was executed perfectly on the day by Nikki, our event manager and the rest of the team at South Farm, there are no words to explain how special we felt. They were all so attentive to my husband and I, our bridal party, our family and our guests, throughout the duration of our day. The day flowed seamlessly and the SF team made it feel effortless. It was truly magical and we just felt overwhelmed with love. We were so relaxed as we knew it was all taken care of. There was so much delicious food to choose from and flexibility on how you would like it served. One of the non-negotiables for us was delicious food and to say that SF delivered is an understatement! The portions were extremely generous, and all our guests commented on how fantastic the food was, even the suppliers that we provided meals for were blown away by the options they were served. If you want the most magical day at a stunning modern eco-friendly farmhouse venue and are deciding whether to choose South Farm, my advice would be book it quick before you lose your preferred date! We are extremely grateful to Nikki and a

We truly couldn't have asked for a more wonderful day, and the team at South Farm helped make that happen. We fell in love with the venue from the moment we visited, and the team immediately helped us to envision our perfect day. All throughout, we really felt like the team were making sure we had the day that we wanted, and thought about every detail - including ones we hadn't even considered. All the staff at South Farm are incredibly friendly and truly took our thoughts, preferences and desires into consideration to help put together a day that was truly special and perfect. Our guests are still raving about how lovely the venue was and how delicious the food was. If we could have our wedding day all over again, we would pick South Farm in a heartbeat!
