Gorgeous wedding
I know everyone thinks their wedding was the best - but I really believe ours was! And a massive part of that was due to our beautiful venue, Donington Park Farmhouse. We always wanted a cosy winter wedding, and this stunning venue was just perfect for it. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the cosy bar area with its array of comfy seating and crackling fire place. We chose to have our ceremony in the breathtaking Threshing Barn which was the perfect backdrop to our wintry wedding. The venue has lots of comfy seating areas so kids can find comfy corners to relax whilst grown ups fill the dance floor in the evening. Our band were thrilled with the big stage and the acoustics in the barn. It was all just perfect!
When we first visited Donington Park Farmhouse, we knew it would be our perfect venue. To make this even better, the staff who work there have been outstanding. We have had constant contact from the events team, especially Alicja, who answered all our questions and responded quickly to emails. Milly ran our day and she was fantastic, regularly checking in with myself and the groom to check we were having a great day. She went above and beyond, even sitting with a page boy who fell asleep so that his parents could join us for group photos.
We had a lot of picky eaters and children at our wedding, but the food was outstanding. We’ve had so many compliments on the wedding breakfast (we went for the BBQ) and on the evening buffet. I loved the Pig Sties for our wedding breakfast - it was quirky and cosy and there was lots of space for all guests. The bar area was beautiful and guests said the drinks were reasonably priced. We could play our own playlists in each room too! Breakfast the next morning was equally delicious - we had very happy guests.
The venue is gorgeous, set in the beautiful countryside with stunning views all around. Having so many rooms available on site was a huge bonus, and our guests said their rooms were all cosy, clean and spacious. In addition, East Midlands airport is an 8 minute drive away so any guests who needed accommodation offsite were spoilt for choice. Furthermore, the car park was huge!
There were loads of outdoor areas and stunning courtyards for summer weddings as well if that’s your style. Honestly could not recommend this venue enough! I’m just so sad it’s all over! -

The Best Day
We had the best wedding day at Donington, as soon as we met Alicja at our initial viewing we knew that not only was the venue perfect but also the people. The organisation from the venue was amazing and as 2 very unorganised people it was so good knowing the venue had everything under control. The team even created our very own Taylor Swift Eras themed cocktail menu for the day which was a massive hit!
The day went so smoothly and we have had so many comments from our guests to say what an amazing setting it was, everybody had the best time and we can't thank you enough!

The Perfect Day, The Perfect Venue.
When searching for our venue, Donington was the only to evoke an emotional response; walking into the Threshing Barn for the first time was something else, nowhere else had given us that feeling so we knew.
The team at DPFH are exceptional, it has been a pleasure to liase with them throughout. Nothing was too much trouble; adapting menus to cater for allergies and dietary requirements, non-alcoholic drink packages and setting up a keg. They've happily assisted with any questions and concerns. Thank you Jenny and Alicja.
We stayed both the night before and night of our wedding. All staff that greeted and were involved with us were wonderful (on every level). We truly appreciated your kindness and support not only to us as a couple but to our guests.
The rooms were clean, fresh and everything we hoped for in terms of space and enough natural light for getting ready the next day.
On the morning of, breakfast boxes were arranged for the bridal party, this was greatly appreciated, it allowed us to have a calm schedule. Our other guests very much enjoyed the cooked breakfast, compliments all round.
Samantha was our Day Coordinator and Sophie was our evening, both were amazing; ensuring everything was running smoothly and regularly checked in on us both. They put us both at ease, thank you!
The venue just looked breathtaking, all our guests complimented the venue. It was a dream, beyond our hopes for the day; everything came together so beautifully.
All the servers and bar staff were attentive and friendly, the day was so relax. Thank you to all the cooks and kitchen staff, all the canapés, wedding breakfast and evening food went down a storm; your hardwork was fully appreciated.
Thank you collectively for giving us the most amazing wedding; DPFH will always have a special place in our hearts.

We got married here in October 2024 and had the most beautiful day. The venue itself is spectacular as are the grounds around it. The food was exceptional and the service we had throughout the day and in the run up was great too. I would love to do it all over again!! -

Our day couldn’t have been more perfect and the venue were the ones to make that happen
We had absolutely no stress at all on the day, it was SO relaxed and calm
We had a few plans through the day with a few ‘guests/appearances’ turning up for photos and Donington organised where they were and what time and really did go above and beyond for our day, the guests were happy, we were elated and everyone at breakfast kept saying how amazing it was, there was also some decor that wasn’t ‘up’ that they found a place for for us
We also had stress with a prior DJ so they pointed us in the way of DJ Daz on their books who was incredible.
Would 10000% recommend this absolutely stunning venue to any future couples.
Thank you Donington 🧡

We recently got married at Donington Park Farmhouse and we had the best day! Throughout the whole planning process they were always there for anything we needed and the day went off without a hitch…even the sun came out for us in October! We’re so glad we picked Donington, the venue is so naturally beautiful we didn’t need to add too many decorations. -

The most beautiful venue and on top of that, the most amazing staff. The girls that were there for me on the day were incredible and kept checking in to see if there was anything i needed. Throughout wedding planning, the team always responded in a timely manner and answered any questions we had. I have nothing but good things to say about the entire team. Donington Park Farmhouse will always have a special place in our hearts.
Thank you everyone for making our dream wedding come true🤍 -

Donington Park Farmhouse and the team gave Alan and I the wedding of our dreams.
We honestly had the best day - it was everything we wanted and more.
The venue is absolutely beautiful, so so homely, so perfect.
They reacted so well when one of my bridesmaids fell ill, it was handled so well by all and made a horrendous situation the best it could be.
I would highly recommend this venue to everyone -
