The perfect venue
Newlyweds Aug 2026
Hazel was so warm and welcoming to be around plus the standard of her venue and accommodation was so good and quirky we knew it was the right place for us.
After booking , Whenever we needed to ask Hazel a question she was really fast at responding.
Nothing was ever a no or to much for her.
Upon arriving at our venue the day before at 12 we could load things into the hayloft barn and then had full access of the farmhouse from 2pm .
Gina was the one who took us under her wing and asked us all of the questions and basically managed it all from that point in.
Gina was absolutely fantastic, she helped lay out our activity books for our table and was making sure all the chairs were perfect.🤩
On my bridal morning , Hazel made us all a lovely breakfast which was such a lovely touch!
As i came down the stairs to be married Gina and Hazel were both there hyping me up and it was so nice!
We had our dog walker let us down last minute and they were happy for our dog to be on site all
day and even took him on little wee walks and helped us all day to manage him!
The day after the wedding we had another delicious brekkie and all our bits were placed outside The hayloft barn to collect and it was already back to its original shape by 10am!
Hazel has a fantastic team and a beautiful venue .
George hazels sons husband also checked in on us at times and was always prepared to help us if needed!
As a dry hire venue we did a mix of hazels recommendations of DTL marquee hire and Simon Vogt DJ and our own catering company Smoke & Steel .
Our guests loved our venue and the views! The day was perfect 😍 and we were so glad we booked NHF to host us.
The best day of our lives!
A special thank you has to go to Hazel, who went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. She was calm, organised, and reassuring throughout — not only on the wedding day itself, but during all the planning stages too. We truly felt looked after from start to finish.
Our guests have all commented on how stunning the venue was, and we feel so lucky to have celebrated our wedding at New House Farm. We would recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a beautiful, welcoming, and memorable venue.
Beautiful venue. Professional team
A Winter Wedding
On the day, the team were faultless, ensuring everything went smoothly and everyone was relaxed and could enjoy themselves.
The venue itself and the surrounding backdrop is nothing short of spectacular!
We couldn't recommend Hazel, the team and New House Farm enough! Thank you so much for a wonderful wedding weekend.

New House Farm… what a venue & what a team
We got married here just over 1 week ago & we couldn’t have asked for a better day. Everything was PERFECT!
Hazel and her team are absolutely brilliant, you couldn’t want for anything. From planning, to set up & enjoying our day we knew we were in the safest hands.
We highly recommend… it’d you want a perfect location, a perfect team and no stress then New House Farm is the place to get married!
Thanks so much Hazel, we will be back for a coffee!

The perfect wedding venue
Hazel, Gina and the rest of the team were just incredible, nothing was too much to ask and they made it run like clockwork!
We needed to iron some shirts and asked to use the iron but instead Hazel insisted that she would do it for us, there were countless other instances where Hazel went above and beyond to make our day not only as memorable as possible but as stress free!
Personally we found New House Farm is brilliantly priced considering everything you get, Hazels expertise and knowledge is simply priceless!
The bar staff and drinks were fantastic, if you are having cocktails at your wedding we recommend the solero!
We couldn't have imagined getting married anywhere else it was just simply perfect!
Thank you
Emma & Colin
Beautiful location (no matter what the weather was doing)!
Despite the inevitable winter rain on the day, the venue and it's amazing surroundings still shone through and was a perfect backdrop. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend New House Farm to any couple as a dream location to tie the knot!

Meet the team
Hi, I'm Hazel, the owner and founder of New House Farm!
I aquired the property back in 1990 and have spent the last thirty or so years turning what was once a working dairy farm into a magical venue for couples to come and say 'I do'.
I live onsite with my trusty whippet, Henry and am always around to assist with your needs. Having worked in the industry for so long, I'm able to provide a wealth of knowledge to help make your special day truly unique!
Hey, I'm Gina!
I joined the team back in 2019 as a saturday girl. Cut to five or so years later and I'm now a full time team lead!
I'm your sparkly fairy on hand to ensure your wedding day runs like magic!
When I'm not busy working you'll find me exploring the world with my boyfriend!
Hi, I'm Hazel's son-in-law, George. You'll spot me from time to time helping out both alongside Hazel and in her absence.
From cooking breakfasts, steaming dresses to pouring drinks.. I'm on hand to assist in ensuring your wedding day runs smoothly!
I had the pleasure of tying the knot onsite back in June 2024, so I know first hand what it's like to get married here at New House Farm. From organising my chosen suppliers to nervously waiting to walk down the isle, I've been there and done it!
