Brilliant venue with great staff

From start to finish Andrew at Dans Meadow ensured that we had the perfect day. We always wanted an outdoor wedding so when we saw Dans Meadow for the first time we fell in love. The day was amazing and Dans Meadow was very flexible and we were able to have everything just the way we wanted. Nothing was too much trouble for Andrew. We also had many people stay at Dans Meadow and it was great to wake up the next morning with all of our friends and family. The accommodation at Dans Meadow is beautiful. Thank you so much for our special day.

The meadow was the perfect setting

Massive thank you to Andrew and the team at Dan’s Meadow for making our #WedFest the most amazing special day!
Our vision was to have a festival wedding: one of children running up and down the meadow playing games, friends sitting on picnic blankets and drinking cocktails on the outdoor terrace, all sharing in big communal food... and the meadow has all the space we needed (and more!) to do all that.
So many of our married friends told us how sad they were that their own special day had gone so quickly and how little time they actually spent together as a couple whilst trying to talk to guests in amongst the official proceedings. It sounded rubbish (!) so we chose to do something quite informal and relaxed which let us form memories of the day together! The meadow was the perfect setting.
And Andrew was just brilliant - we had to call up with all sorts of queries over the preceding months and nothing was ever too much trouble. As the first licensed wedding on the site, he even brought us a framed photo the next day as we sat in the local pub having a family lunch - it’s a gift we’ll really treasure!
Lots of our guests decided to camp - either to save money or as a treat for the kids. The facilities were great and we’re told that lots of folk kept the party going at the end of the field until the early hours! These are pictures from friends - we’ll post some official ones when we get them from the photographer in a few weeks :) thanks again, much love, Daisy & Rob xx

Perfect venue

Thanks to Andi and all the team at Dan’s Meadow for all the help and support with our wedding this September. Dan’s Meadow was just the perfect setting for our dream of an outside ceremony. We held the blessing under the canopy of a tree by the stream. The Teepees looked fab for the reception and the outside space allowed several games to be set up. All the guest commented on how relaxed the day was and what a fantastic setting we had found in Dan’s Meadow! Thanks again for everything, we will definitely be recommending this venue.

Excellent Venue with on site facilities

We had our wedding here in July, and we couldn't have hoped for a better venue. Andrew was absolutely brilliant from the start and always had ideas to help us make our day the day we wanted. Everything went off without a hitch, and everyone commented on how good the venue was for the occasion. We would recommend Dan's Meadow to anyone who wants a good outdoor space, with well-appointed facilities in case the worst happens with the weather on the day! Richard and Kelsey
