Jimmys farm Reviews (7) Write a review My son's wedding Venue Service By Sharon Hawkins, on 09 Sep 2019Date of Wedding - 06 Sep 2019 Had a fantastic day for my son's wedding. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Food was amazing, and the food arrived at the table altogether and hot and presented perfectly! We all had an amazing time at Jimmy's Farm, and would recommend having your special day here! Thank you to all the staff! Well done!Natalie Solanke Weddings, Wedding & Event Manager at Jimmys farm responded to this review on 10/09/2019 12:26:19Thank you so much Sharon for your lovely review. We also had a great day hosting. Please do come back to the farm any time for lunch! Natalie, Caela & The TeamAn incredible wedding venue! Venue Service By Sarah and Rohan, on 11 Sep 2019Date of Wedding - 22 Jun 2019 Put simply, we could not have picked a better venue for our wedding. We loved the whole process from the beginning, when we first visited the farm and learned about the amazing animal rescue work they do, to the end, having a good chuckle with Head Chef Andrew about how many potatoes could be eaten by one person. On the day itself, we were lucky to have bright sunshine but Jimmy’s came up trumps with everything else to make the day one to remember: a beautiful marquee with scenic backdrop, a super fun farm experience for all our guests, incredible food in the atmospheric barn, seamless organisation and superb staff who worked brilliantly throughout what was a very long day. And last but not least the pleasure of working with Natalie, fun and resourceful, a safe pair of hands with tonnes of brilliant ideas. Jimmy’s is a beautiful, rustic, charming and unique venue made exceptional by the friendliness of everyone who works there.Our relaxed family bbq and after party! Venue Service By Cori and Georgie Parrott, on 14 Sep 2019Date of Wedding - 11 May 2019 We decided on a big family affair at Jimmy’s after our intimate ceremony and wedding breakfast in Bury St Edmunds. We wanted to invite our wider families along earlier in the day than most evening offered and we were able to have a cocktail hour and BBQ starting at 6pm before an amazing party at the farm. The farm also offered a more relaxed/ less traditional vibe for our celebrations. As foodies, farm to fork is something we are passionate about so that was another box thatJimmys Farm ticked. The farm restaurant layout also attracted us, with the bar, and seating areas/alcoves and dancefloor on different levels but still open plan so that everybody could enjoy the party going on the dancefloor even if they weren’t dancing! That and the access to the terrace and gorgeous views outdoors across the fields. Honestly the entire staff were so accommodating and professional on the day, Natalie in the build up was a dream, she listened to exactly what we were all about and made it all happen seamlessly! BBQ was commented on by everyone as was so delicious! Thanks so much to everyone at the farm, I can’t recommend the team and venue highly enough! :)Great venue, amazing food Venue Service By Amy Laubach, on 20 Mar 2019Date of Wedding - 16 Mar 2019 My husband and I held our wedding here at the weekend and it was the perfect venue for our 50 odd guests. The staff were friendly, Natalie our wedding planner was amazing and made sure everything ran smoothly and the food was amazing - big portions and no one left hungry, Everyone had such a fantastic evening so big thanks to all the team.Wonderful November Wedding Venue Service By Janine & Liam de la Bedoyere, on 23 Jun 2019Date of Wedding - 24 Nov 2018 We held our wedding at Jimmy's Farm in November 2018 and it was absolutely perfect for the cosy autumn/winter feel we wanted for our big day. Both the ceremony and reception rooms looked wonderfully rustic and magical with lots of fairy lights, hay bales and wood beams. The food was exceptional (as it always is at Jimmy's Farm!) and the staff were very friendly and attentive. Overall we were both extremely happy with how the day went and we love the fact that we got married somewhere that we can go back and visit again and again.Daughters Wedding Venue Service By Abby, on 18 Jan 2018Date of Wedding - 09 Sep 2017 We held our daughters wedding here, it was the most perfect day.
