Absolutely stunning

We made the mistake of viewing Oaks farm first and totally and utterly fell in love with the place and although we viewed a couple of other venues, we walked away every time saying "its not oaks farm is it?" We knew then that this was the venue for us! From the moment we enquired about viewing, John and Katie were warm, friendly and open. We had a tour of the venue and could just picture our day here! In the run up to the wedding, John and Katie were always at the other end of an email answering any questions we had (and there were many) and helping us with the little things we hadn't thought about!

The day itself was amazing and went exactly how we had dreamed of.
From the groomsmen arriving to help set up the staff were amazing and had laid the tables exactly how we wanted.
To myself and my bridal party doing a mad dash into the cottage so we wouldn't be seen. Katie even changed the bedding again after one of the bridesmaids spilt her drink on it (it was the bed or my dress 😂) so thank you again for that!
Katie helped myself and the bridal party over to the stables where we were getting married and fluffed my dress for me, before I walked down the aisle.
They also had a little breakfast box in the fridge for us the next day, even though we were a little too fragile to eat most of it, we did try.

The Perfect Wedding Venue – We Couldn’t Have Asked for More!

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding than Oaks Farm. From the very beginning, Katie and John were incredibly helpful, flexible and accommodating, and made the whole process so easy and enjoyable.

We organised our wedding day in a slightly unusual way, but Katie and John were completely open to our ideas and went above and beyond to help us make everything work. They were always happy to answer our questions in the lead-up to the wedding and were so supportive with all of the planning and preparation.

Their help didn’t stop there — they were fantastic with the set-up and continued to be so helpful throughout the wedding day itself. Everything ran so smoothly, which meant we could relax and enjoy the day knowing we were in such capable hands.

The venue itself was absolutely beautiful and provided the perfect setting for our wedding. It felt so special and was everything we could have hoped for.

A huge thank you to Katie and John for being so accommodating, supportive and genuinely lovely throughout the whole process. You played such an important part in making our wedding day so perfect, and we couldn’t recommend Oaks Farm highly enough.

My magical day

Icannot recommend Oaks Farm enough. We got married on the hottest day of the year, and the team did everything possible to accommodate us and our guests.
Kate and John were incredibly hands-on, personable, and genuinely invested in making our day special. They went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment.
The venue itself is immaculate, beautiful, and truly breathtaking. Photos simply don't do it justice. From the moment we first visited, we knew it was the perfect place to celebrate our wedding.
Thank you, Kate and John, for helping create memories that we will cherish forever. Oaks Farm exceeded all of our expectations, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a truly exceptional wedding venue.

Best Day Ever!

Oaks Farm is an absolutely wonderful venue that has everything you need - stunning outdoors, lovely indoors, tucked away but easy to get to, plenty of parking, getting-ready rooms. They do not have required vendors, but they have plenty of excellent recommendations that we went with. John and Katie were exceptionally professional and overall lovely people, we felt we were in save hands during the entire planning process. Definitely recommend!

Our perfect wedding day at Oaks Farm 18/06/2026

We honestly couldn’t have chosen a more perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first visited Oaks Farm, we had that feeling that it was the one — and our wedding day completely confirmed it.

Oaks Farm is absolutely beautiful. It has that gorgeous countryside feel while still being elegant and special, and there are so many stunning places for photographs. Our guests were blown away by the venue, and we were constantly being told throughout the day how beautiful everything was.

What really made Oaks Farm stand out for us, though, was the team. They were so helpful, professional and reassuring throughout the whole process. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, and having a venue that genuinely cared about making our day perfect made such a difference. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and we always felt looked after.

On the day itself, everything ran so smoothly. We were able to completely relax and enjoy getting married, knowing that everything was being taken care of behind the scenes. The atmosphere was incredible, the setting was beautiful and the whole day felt so personal to us.

Our guests absolutely loved it, from the ceremony through to the food, drinks and celebrations. It was everything we had dreamed our wedding day would be and more.

We will always have such a special place in our hearts for Oaks Farm. Choosing a wedding venue is such a huge decision, and if you are considering getting married here, we genuinely couldn’t recommend it enough. It gave us the most beautiful setting for the start of our married life and memories that we will treasure forever.

Thank you, Oaks Farm, for giving us the most magical wedding day. We would choose you all over again in a heartbeat. ❤️

Review of Oaks Farm Wedding Venue

We had our wedding at Oaks Farm in April and everything from the prep to the day went smoothly with help from Oaks Farm. They had detailed plans for each part of the day and very helpful guides for seating plans and timings of the day everything you need ! The venue looked incredible and we had regular check ins with them leading up to the day. Highly recommend Oaks Farm !
*We stayed in the cottage which is beautiful, so peaceful and nicely decorated, the only thing was there was no hair wash or shower gel in the cottage.

A perfect wedding day at Oaks Farm

Our wedding at Oaks Farm in May was absolutely perfect, and we couldn’t recommend the venue highly enough.

The venue is beautiful, nestled in the countryside with stunning green surroundings and right next to the golf club. You’d have no idea you were so close to Croydon when you’re there! It also makes for some incredible wedding photos.

Katie and John were amazing throughout the whole planning process. They were incredibly accommodating and happily allowed us multiple visits during the busiest stages of planning, which made such a difference. The attention to detail was excellent, and the whole team on the day worked so hard to make sure everything ran seamlessly.

Everyone was so friendly, warm and welcoming, and there was never a moment where we didn’t feel looked after. The new getting-ready space is also beautifully designed and made such a difference, allowing both parties to get ready on site while still having separate spaces.

We also felt Oaks Farm offered excellent value for money, and we loved having the option to bring our own reception drinks. The fact that everything takes place on one site was a huge bonus too — nobody had to leave between different parts of the day, which really kept the atmosphere going and meant the party never lost momentum!

We absolutely loved getting married here and would recommend Oaks Farm to anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxed and incredibly well-run wedding venue. Thank you to the whole team for helping make our day so special! ❤️

Everything was perfect

We got married at Oaks Farm on 4th August 2026. We only started planning it in January this year. From the very start, the entire process with Oaks Farm was very smooth - Katie and John are extremely pleasant and helpful people to deal with. Nothing was too much trouble, and they went out of their way to ensure our day was as perfect as possible.

We chose 10 Flavours for our catering, one of the 4 nominated caterers that Oaks Farm uses, and are the resident caterers on-site. We were invited to a food tasting session back in February, and were immediately sold on the quality of the food. During the menu planning process, Jody was incredibly patient with us and very flexible to the needs we had for our guests.

On the day, as I have said to many people, if I could have written down exactly how I wanted the day to go, it could not have gone any better. The weather, the ceremony, the canapes in the garden, the wedding breakfast, the evening disco and buffet, and most importantly, the fun our guests had. Everything was absolutely perfect and we could not have wished for more.

Since the wedding, we have received a never ending stream of compliments from our guests about the day - and especially about our choice of venue and the food.

I would recommend Oaks Farm to anybody without hesitation.

Beautiful Day

Wow....Where do I start. Firstly, I remembered coming to oaks farm for a friend wedding and I thought what a beautiful venue. Who would of thought I would be married in the same place. Everything went according to plan if not better. Katie and John were very welcoming from the first day of meeting. I'm not one for speaking on the phone but they were there at the end of yr emails. You can arrange to visit as many times as you like.
Caterers from 10 flavours, were very professional and communicates with you checking what we want or what the plan it especially if time is running over . Feedback from our families says there were a lot of food (but our choices) very tasty and enjoyable especially the jerk chicken and the dessert apple crumble...mmm. The caterers team we like to thank you personally for looking after everyone as well as our teams (photographers and DJ).
The outdoor places is so beautiful and your guests does not all have to be in one area there is enough space to branch out. Having our ceremony outdoors with the beautiful weather what more could anyone ask. Lucky the weather was on our side but you do have an option to use the stable. After celebrating and dancing with your husband/wife, families and friends its time to spend the wedding night in the cosy oaks farm cottage located on sight. Having the whole venue for the price they ask is worth it.
For us visiting the surroundings of oaks farm we knew this is where we wanted to get married. So for anyone looking for a venue that seems far away from home and suits their needs we recommend visiting. Happy wedding day to those who is getting married at oaks farm.

Incredible!

We have had an amazing time during our April wedding. This venue is fantastic. Beautiful place, well kept and maintained. It is also private so you do not share this venue with anyone else as well as there is no access from public. I would recommend this venue to anyone getting married. Staff were also amazing and the owners very extremely attentive to anything and everything we needed. We could not have choses better place for our special day and this place really made it special.

Top Tier Staff. Magical Day.

We are so happy we had our wedding at Oaks Farm. The venue was magical and feels like an oasis on the outskirts of Croydon.

All of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was. Everything you need is onsite, which was super convenient on the day. Katie and John made us feel really taken care of. They were so professional, organised, and friendly. They were supportive throughout the process; allowing us to visit the venue as often as we needed to, quick to answer any questions we had, and helping with set-up on the day.

We felt respected and cared for, which is not always a given as an LGBTQ+ couple planning a wedding. It was nice that there weren’t gender-based assumptions about our roles on the day. The venue was very open and flexible with how we wanted the ceremony entrance to look. Massive thank you to Katie for accommodating us both walking down the aisle and equally having our moment.

The venue is fully accessible. A member of my Bridal Party has additional needs and uses a wheelchair and the venue was very accommodating - including providing a quiet space where they could sit and have their meal when they felt overstimulated.

The getting ready room is absolutely stunning. It has a vanity space, as well as a bathroom with a shower and some space outside hidden away from guests. It accommodated a large bridal party really well and was a great place to get ready ahead of the ceremony.

They offer the cottage onsite to stay in after the wedding. Again, this was so convenient and meant we could party hard with the knowledge we could be in bed within 2 minutes! It was gorgeous and has everything you need. We were left an adorable and delicious breakfast hamper. All the facilities were clean and the bed was comfy. This space was available from 11am the day of the wedding to get ready in as well.

For food you get a choice of partner caterers and we went with 10 Flavours who operate out of the venue. Food was delicious and plentiful and guests commented on how tasty it was and how well-fed they were. Massive thanks to Jody who runs 10 Flavours for this and to the catering team on the day, including those who went out of their way to serve our guest who needed space in a separate area of the venue.

Overall we could not recommend Oaks Farm as a wedding venue enough!

Oaks Farm gave us the setting and support for our perfect day🥰

Working with Oaks Farm for our wedding was the best decision we could have made. The venue is so beautiful, peaceful, and accessible for all our guests. Katie and John were generous and helpful at every turn, and made our day run so smoothly without incident. Oaks Farm has truly thought of everything you could need, from the lovely getting ready areas to the inclusion of decorations which added flare to the day. We are so grateful to Oaks Farm for making our day the best it could be!

We also loved working with their recommended caterers, florists, and DJs. Thanks so much Katie and John!❤️

Perfect wedding venue for us! (May 2026 wedding)

We absolutely loved Oaks Farm for our wedding, it is a gem! John and Katie were amazing in every way - from responsiveness to emails to answering all our questions to helping out on the day itself. It couldn't have been a
more joyful celebration for us. The Cottage is extremely well kept and lovely to stay in. The newly built bridal suite is also amazing and has everything you need to get ready the morning of the wedding! We love the two separate gardens for guests to roam around in and the indoor areas are also incredible. A lot of space for all the guests to roam around especially if they have kids.

An exceptional wedding venue

Oaks Farm Weddings in Croydon truly stands out as an exceptional venue, and I couldn’t recommend it more highly. From the moment we first visited, we knew it was something special. The setting itself is absolutely beautiful—elegant, well-maintained, and full of charm, making it the perfect backdrop for such an important day.

What really made the experience unforgettable, though, was the people. The team at Oaks Farm were incredible from start to finish—friendly, professional, and always willing to go the extra mile. They made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process, answering every question and ensuring that nothing was overlooked.

The whole journey, from planning to the big day, was smooth and stress-free. Everything was handled with such care and attention to detail that we were able to relax and fully enjoy the experience. On the day itself, everything ran seamlessly, and it was clear that the team had everything under control.

If you’re looking for a stunning venue with a supportive, experienced team and a process that feels effortless from beginning to end, Oaks Farm Weddings is the perfect choice.
