Beyond Expectations: The Wedding Venue That Stole Our Hearts
A Truly Outstanding Wedding Experience at Folly Farm, Worth Every Penny!
We had the immense joy of celebrating our wedding at Folly Farm, and we truly couldn’t have wished for a more perfect venue or experience. From start to finish, everything was simply exceptional, beautiful, heartfelt, professional, and absolutely worth every penny.
Affordability and Flexibility
The venue offered great value for money and worked perfectly within our budget, without ever compromising on quality. Folly Farm is affordable, especially considering the quality of service and the breathtaking setting.
Communication
From the moment we made our first inquiry, the communication was flawless. Every question we had was answered promptly and thoroughly. The venue team was incredibly supportive throughout the entire planning process, making everything feel easy and stress-free. Their attention to detail and genuine care truly stood out.
Kind, Professional, and Heartwarming Staff
The staff at Folly Farm are nothing short of amazing. They strike the perfect balance between being highly professional and incredibly warm and welcoming. On the day itself, we felt so well looked after, every team member went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly.
Accommodating
We had guests with a wide range of dietary requirements, and Folly Farm handled them all with care, ease, and absolute professionalism. Nothing was too much trouble, and everyone commented on how well catered the event was. Truly amazing!
Stunning Venue
The venue itself is breathtakingly beautiful, surrounded by nature and offering a peaceful, romantic atmosphere. The on-site accommodation was fantastic, allowing us and our guests to relax and fully enjoy the celebrations. Booking the venue from Wednesday at 2 pm until Friday at 11 am gave us the chance to spend meaningful time with loved ones who had travelled from afar, something we truly appreciated.
Seamless Day-of Coordination
Even though there was a light drizzle on the morning of our wedding, the team adapted quickly and ensured everything was set up beautifully without delay after the light rain stopped. Their calm and efficient handling of the weather hiccup reassured us completely and kept the day flowing perfectly.
A Day We’ll Never Forget
The venue organizers were not only professional but also genuinely lovely people, whose warmth and kindness made all the difference. Thanks to them, we had the most wonderful, magical, and unforgettable day of our lives. Every moment felt special, and we are still glowing with happiness!
Final Thoughts
If you're looking for a gorgeous, welcoming, well-run venue that offers exceptional service and real value, look no further than Folly Farm. We are beyond grateful to have celebrated our wedding here, and we would recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone planning their special day.
We are so, so happy. Thank you, Folly Farm, for making our dream wedding come true!

Perfect Wedding Venue With Exceptional Staff
We had the most incredible experience at this venue. From start to finish, the team were outstanding — warm, professional, and unbelievably accommodating. The value for money is exceptional, especially given the level of service and attention to detail.
We planned our wedding within just a few months, and the staff were completely unflustered throughout. Their flexibility with every detail made the whole process feel effortless. Nothing was too much trouble, and their calm, friendly approach took all the stress out of planning.
On the day itself, everything ran flawlessly. The team handled every moment with such professionalism and ease that we were able to simply enjoy the day — and it truly was the most wonderful experience.
We are so grateful for their hard work, kindness, and expertise. Thank you for helping us create a day we will never forget. -

The wedding of our dreams
The short version of this review is: you should definitely have your wedding at Folly Farm. The staff, food and venue are exceptional.
Here are a few more details if you need convincing.
The venue: the photos on their website speak for themselves but the real thing is even better Stunning views of Somerset, lush green surroundings, beautiful stone buildings. We barely needed any decorations because the place itself is so breathtaking.
The staff: from the moment we booked 14 months before the day, to the day itself, they were available for chats and to help us organise every last detail. They were so professional, kind and helpful and made sure everything was perfect (from herding guests to the right place to serving the food and making sure our music cues were hit). We knew we were in good hands and for that reason were able to relax and enjoy the day. Thank you everyone and in particular Matthew and Jason.
The food: half of our guests were from France and they were all extremely impressed with the food. That should tell you something! The lamb was particularly popular.
We still can't believe how perfect everything was and we can't recommend this venue enough -

Could not have been better
The venue were amazing from start to finish, they were willing to let us have multiple viewings and were happy to answer all of our questions. We had a large number of guests staying over friday night and several of them commented on how nice the rooms were. The staff were present and very helpful with any issues that cropped up. We had catered food on the friday night which was delicious and very plentiful.
We got married on the Saturday and the satff were great then too, very helpful with the organisation and flow of the day. Extra big thanks to Matt and Jason! -

Beautiful nature reserve venue
We absolutely loved our wedding at Folly Farm. The venue is in the loveliest setting on a nature reserve and the rustic barn buildings were just perfect for our relaxed, nature-filled day. The whole day and the preparations leading up to the wedding were brilliantly assisted by Matt and the team who were so flexible and accommodating to all of our queries. We loved that the venue is owned by the Avon Wildlife Trust and profits go towards supporting nature. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others looking for a peaceful, scenic and laid-back venue. -

Spring Wedding
Folly Farm was an excellent venue choice for our wedding day. They were very attentive to our needs, changing some of the timings to their normal format. They were very organised and the day ran smoothly without a hitch. It was a beautiful venue with plenty of space for our 60 guests, with some choosing to stay overnight. There was plenty of food and the evening fire pit on a cold spring evening. Matthew was there on the day to keep us informed and ensure everything went according to plan and was a very reassuring presence. The location is wonderful with views over Chew Valley lake and you feel very much surrounded by nature. Knowing that profits contribute to the Avon Wildlife Trust was an added bonus for us, with food sourced locally. There was plenty of food which our guests found to be delicious and made a point of telling us.-

November wedding
We had the most incredible November wedding at folly farm.
Not only does the venue speak for itself ( all we did outdoor decoration wise were some big churns by the pergola).
Matt was incredibly calm and organised and exactly who we wanted to have with us on this special day. Our cake must have got knocked but Matt discreetly took it to the caterers who went out of their way and fixed it during food service.
The full weekend package meant we were able to set up ourselves on the Friday and got the whole family involved which felt like such a special part of the weekend and an extra bonus.
The Food !!! Was incredible, canapés were delicious, and the sit down was fantastic. Such fun ideas, we had the cheesecake as desert and that felt so fun to dish up per table. ( we also had a guest with extreme celiac disease and all his plates came out separate and cling filmed so no cross contamination)
I was worried about the fact that we used the same room for ceremony, meal and dance floor. But the venue turned each room around extremely fast.
The studios being so close meant older guest were able to sneak back to rooms and have a rest, and those with kids could also sneak away for a little while
Not only that but I am excited to go back to folly farm for walks and be able to reminisce about the fantastic weekend we had. -

AMAZING venue and staff!
We recently got married at Folly Farm Centre and it was everything we could have wanted and more! Matt and Jason ensured our day ran as smoothly as possible. The venue is stunning and that view! The food is incredible and all our guests raved about it. The packages available are really customiseable to be able to have the weekend that means your needs and shows your personality as a couple. Would recommend 100%!-

Best wedding venue
I cannot recommend this venue enough. We have the best weekend of our lives. Not only is it a stunning location, but the staff are incredible throughout the entire process. On the weekend they were super flexible to whatever crazy ideas we had and it truly felt that they wanted us to have the best time. The food was absolutely excellent, with an enormous range to pick from. Also, brilliant value for money. So many of our guests were jealous that they hadn't found Folly Farm for their weddings. They are simply the best. -
