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.

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.

Emma & Montana’s wedding

Our wedding at Oaks farm was an absolutely perfect day and we had the best time. The staff were wonderful, the venue was beautiful and the whole day ran incredibly smoothly thanks to the fantastic staff that took care of everything, which meant we could relax and enjoy the day!

The cottage and getting ready room were lovely and worked perfectly for our day and it was so helpful to be able to stay here the night of the wedding without having to sort out transport.


We wanted to say a huge thank you to John and Katie for making yesterday the best day of our lives and we are so happy we started our married life together at oaks farm.

Fantastic venue

From the moment we looked at the venue to the day of our wedding everything was amazing. John and Katie approached every question with a smile and nothing was too big (or too small) for them. Grounds are beautiful and so quiet.

The Perfect Venue

We held our winter wedding at Oaks Farm this year and its genuinely the most beautiful venue we’ve seen. It has the most beautiful set of stables, orangery and barn, as well as a cute cottage and outdoor facilities. Words really can’t do the venue enough credit, it was so scenic and really captured the warm, intimate atmosphere we were aiming for with our guests. Having a cottage for the bridal party to use before the wedding and after the wedding also meant not having to worry about transport after such a busy day, but taxis were able to reach the venue too so it’s a very accessible location.

John and Katie were absolutely brilliant. They manage the venue so well, it was really easy to keep in touch with them and they were very attentive to our needs and questions, right up until the wedding day itself! They were able to answer all of our questions, and they helped keep things organised at points where we felt we were struggling to keep on top of things when juggling a lot!

All of our vendors worked really well with the venue too. John and Katie have listed a few different vendors for taxis, hotels etc which meant giving our guests information was really easy. In terms of catering, Oaks Farm has trusted vendors they work with, which worked perfectly as they knew how the venue ran and it meant things flowed really seamlessly on the day.

Charlotte (the Perfect Addition) was a brilliant decorator. She really brought our vision to life with how we wanted the venue to look on the day, she was very responsive, patient, and an absolute delight to work with. We can’t thank her enough, she was absolutely fantastic.

All in all, we can’t thank John, Katie, Charlotte, and Oaks Farm enough. They say your wedding day is one of the happiest days of your life, and we got to experience it in such a a warm, intimate setting. It was beautifully decorated, managed, and we felt so supported. Thank you so much for all you’ve done. The only sad thing is that the day came and went - but if we had to do it all again, we’d definitely choose Oaks Farm again.

Best day ever

We had the BEST DAY EVER. Katie and John were helpful, kind and flexible. They communicated well and in good time and were amazing at accomodating our changing needs and ideas. The setting is idilic, peaceful and just a short drive from the hustle and bustle of London. We were lucky to have a crisp October day, and there was more than enough spaces to have photo opportunites with friends ad family outside as well as the fantastic barns with their rustic feel. Everything was more than we could have ever imagned. They have a comprehensive list of suppliers on their website as well as loads of information to aid with planning the day. Thank you for making our day so very special

A beautiful place to get married

We can’t thank Oaks Farm enough for making our wedding day so special. From our first visit to the big day, the team were incredibly helpful, patient, and organised. Everything ran seamlessly, and we felt completely looked after.

The venue is absolutely beautiful, and so many of our guests commented on how stunning it was and how smoothly the day flowed.

Thank you to the whole Oaks Farm team for giving us the perfect place to celebrate our day.

Our happily ever after (at Oaks Farm)

A heartfelt ‘thank you’ from us both for all of your efforts to make our wedding day a magnificent occasion.

We’ve been inundated with compliments about Oaks Farm. You were both brilliant in the run up to our wedding - thanks to Katie for helping us set up on the Friday. And thanks to you John for making it all flow so seamlessly on the day itself.

We have lifelong memories to cherish!

The perfect wedding venue!

Oaks farm was just perfect for our wedding. Both katie and john couldn't have been more helpful to make sure the day ran smoothly. The venue itself is gorgeous and their flexibility on how it's decorated is brilliant. The caterers they work with are also excellent with a good variety to pick from.

Out of this world!!

Where do I even begin! Firstly we had the most AMAZING day at Oaks Farm for our wedding. John & Katie were so responsive to our many queries in the 2 years leading up to the day. Nothing was ever too much and they helped to make our day perfect.
They have an extensive list of suppliers and the ones we did pick were amazing.
The venue is just beautiful and the photos speak for itself. All of our guests commented on how stunning the grounds were.
The value for money was fantastic and I couldn’t quite believe the bargain that it was!

World of its own

Where to start, there are not enough words to describe Oaks Farm and the feeling you get when you are there. The team are so welcoming and friendly they make you feel at ease and are so accomadating and supportive with everything. The whole venue is literally out of this world such a hidden gem beautiful gardens, gorgeous ceremony areas a truly stunning setting. From the moment we viewed Oaks Farm we just knew this was the venue for us, I always got such a wonderful feeling being there and even now I feel nothing but pure happiness when I think of Oaks Farm. The extra bonus of the beautiful cottage for you to stay on your wedding night is fantastic, beautifully decorated, warm and welcoming. The hamper provided for breakfast is such a lovely gesture.
There are a fantastic selection to choose from for catering, entertainment and anything else you can think of, who all work tirelessly to help make your day perfect.
Our guests had nothing but compliments for our venue and for us our day was perfect. Oaks Farm will always hold a special place in our heart. Highly recommend this hidden gem 💎

Absolutely Fabulous!

John and Katie could not have done more for us! From our first contact to after the wedding day, no ask was ever to great and they are just the loveliest people ever!

The venue is fantastic value for money. You get exclusive hire of the site which includes the stables, orangery, barn and gardens. It is dry hire until 7:30 when the Orchard Bar company take over, again helping save the pounds! The day before, they offer storage etc for decorations, drinks and cake so that it is unpacked an seamless on the day.

The setting and the cottage is so lovely, and I wish I could live it all again!

Beautiful venue and lovely staff

My husband and I got married at Oaks Farm last month and had the most wonderful day. The staff from the start were so friendly and helpful and always answered any questions that we had. The venue itself is stunning and we had so many compliments from our guests. The day was lovely and relaxed and we couldn’t have asked for more. We would definitely recommend to others.

Oaks Farm was our perfect venue

From the moment we saw Oaks Farm we knew it was the place for us. It was beautiful, the barn and orangery had a lovely rustic feel, the gardens were spacious with pretty flowers and trees, the stable barn had lots of character and the cosy cottage perfect for getting ready.
Katie and John were both so welcoming and easy to chat to. They helped us so much with loads of information, brilliant organisation and nothing was too much trouble which meant the day ran so smoothly. We could go and visit as much as we wanted in the run up to our wedding and answered emails very promptly.
So many of our guests commented on what a lovely venue is was and the particularly enjoyed all the delicious food.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Oaks Farm to anyone, and can't thank the team enough for helping to make our day absolutely perfect.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
