At a glance, Crockwell Farm is a specialist family-run wedding venue founded in 2002, providing a unique service with exclusive use of the venue over three days. Set against a backdrop of rolling South Northamptonshire countryside, undiscovered lanes and sleepy stone built villages, but within easy reach of the M40 and M1.
Whether you’re planning a small, intimate occasion or a large, lavish affair, Crockwell Farm can be tailored to suit you. The 17th century oak-beamed vaulted barn, fully insulated permanent starlit marquees, and beautiful gardens and grounds provide you with a personal and flexible space for your big day.
Couples have three options for their civil ceremony on site, including outdoor ceremonies in the Crockwell Orchard. Couples can also host a reception at Crockwell following a church wedding and can choose to marry in the beautiful local church of St Nicholas, in Eydon.
Crockwell is one of the few wedding venues in Northamptonshire to offer dedicated accommodation for the bride and groom, as well as their immediate family and friends. There are nine spacious bedrooms within the farm cottages providing a home from home experience over three days and two nights.
Crockwell Farm offers a professional service with a personal approach. Throughout your wedding preparations, our small dedicated team will work with you to ensure that everything runs smoothly, and their attention to detail guarantees that nothing is forgotten. As we do not book weddings on consecutive days, you will have ample time to set up your reception space. You can also extend your celebrations a day longer by enjoying a family breakfast at the venue.
Our cateres, Ross & Ross have won the UK Wedding Award Caterers of the Year award for the last three years. We couldn't be happier to work with a caterer local to us that shares our ethos and style, and we couldn't be more confident that you will love what they have to offer! With a simple and unfussy approach developed over 7 years catering for weddings, Ross and Ross offer delicious dishes using fresh, local and seasonal ingredients.

We were lucky enough to have hosted two weddings at Crockwell Farm- both our legal ceremony at Crockwell in July 2020 and our blessing ceremony this week. Despite the lifting of lockdown we opted for a smaller wedding on the 14th June 2021 rather than postponing again. Looking back, we were really pleased we chose to go ahead as the day was extremely intimate and we enjoyed the whole day much more with only our close friends and family. Crockwell have been through our wedding journey since 2018, we looked at three venues but picked Crockwell as our favourite mainly due to the fact the venue was gorgeous and the friendliness of staff on their open evening. Ross and Ross caterers provided us with the best roast dinner we’ve ever eaten and the service was flawless. Throughout planning we haven’t once felt like we couldn’t pick up the phone and ask random silly questions, we got to know each and every member of staff and they helped us with nerves, stress and understanding the restrictions. A huge thank you for us goes mainly to Rosie, Amy, Hermione and Mel. Mel co-ordinated our full day on both weddings and she did a fantastic job of it, the staff are extremely friendly, the venue is romantic and idyllic. We got to enjoy both a garden ceremony and inside within the barn, so it felt like we had the best of both worlds. We would love to do it all again but I think two weddings for anyone is plenty! Thank you again to everyone, we couldn’t have picked a better venue to share our special day with.

Thank you so much for your kind review Sophie & Josh. It was a privilege to host both your ceremony last year, and your celebration this year. Covid has thrown us all so many challenges, and you have taken each one in your stride and not allowed restrictions to curtail your joy or celebration which is a fine example. Thanks you for choosing Crockwell and please keep in touch! Amy

Amazing setting for our perfect day
I can't recommend Crockwell enough as a wedding venue. From the first look around to the day after our wedding, the service we received was personal, attentive and flexible. Rosie and Laura were always on hand in the run up to answer last minute questions about the minutiae of our day with extremely speedy and comprehensive responses, and helped us to create a wedding that was absolutely and uniquely "us." Nothing we asked was ever too much trouble, even though what we wanted was definitely outside of the norm! I had complete faith that they would make our day everything we wanted and more, and we were right to place our trust in them. Everything was perfect, and we truly had the best day of our lives. I cannot recommend Crockwell and the team enough if you're looking for a stunning, relaxed setting with a supportive and attentive team. Thank you so much to everyone at Crockwell!

Emily & Joe, thank you for your ever so kind words. We loved working with you to create your perfect day, you are a fabulous couple and we wish you all the very best for a fantastic future.
We booked our wedding back in 2018 and absolutely fell in love with the venue, the grounds and the staff instantly. Unfortunately our original wedding date of July 2020 was postponed due to Covid-19 and pushed back to June 2021. Firstly the staff were fantastic at supporting us in the difficult times when we postponed, they kept us informed and were very fair at choosing new dates.
We then had the most perfect wedding day on Saturday 12th June that was everything i'd ever dreamed of. I do not regret going ahead with the 30 person wedding at all, it was intimate but still felt like enough people. The staff were absolutely fantastic in the lead up and on the day it just ran perfectly. Sarah was our wedding co-ordinator who was just incredible from start to finish. Hermione, Amy & Rosie also kept us supported along the way, it feels like a lovely family run venue with so much care and effort going into every wedding.
I hope one day we can be luckily enough to get re-invited to another wedding here just so we can visit again!

Thank you so much Jodie for your lovely review! We know what a rollercoaster the past year has been and we're just delighted that we were able to work with you to find a good date and alternative plan. Thank you for putting your faith in us and for being incredibly understanding and patient throughout. It was a real joy to host your wedding and the smiles on the day were infectious. We wish you and Bobby the very best for the future and hopefully we will see you at a Crockwell wedding again in the future!
