Thank you for making our wedding so perfect!
We booked Mapperely Farm for our wedding on 4th July 2026. We first met with the owners Rosie and Sam 2 years ago. It was the first wedding venue that we had visited, and didn't know what to expect, but Rosie and Sam put us at ease straight away. They gave us advice, shared their experience with weddings, and encouraged us to look at other venues before making a decision. However it was clear after visiting 2 other venues that Mapperely Farm was the one for us. It was beautiful, set in the rural countryside, had accomodation on site, reasonably priced, backed with the support of the owners, and we had the ability to do whatever we liked with the day. Allowing us to make it a day unique to us, booking a pizza buffet, an ice cream bike, photos in their woods, chats with the sheep, family baked goods and more. Thank you so much to Rosie and Sam for making our day so perfect, taking us through it every step of the way, and making it personal to us! We will be sure to have another event there again in the future :)

Mapperley Farms was a dream for our dream wedding.
We had our wedding at the woodside arbor in May, and though it was small it was beyond perfect. Rosie and Sam were so accommodating, and the location was so beautiful for our fairytale woodland wedding. Rosie was so invested in helping to make everything wonderful and honestly it felt more like an Aunt helping to put things together than a venue owner. Please, if you are having an outdoor wedding, go see Mapperley Farms. See if it's right for your wedding, because I can promise Rosie will take care of you.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
