    Incredible!

    We had the best experience with South Farm. From helping us figure out our fusion wedding, to all the details being so well executed, we honestly had an incredible day. The staff in particular deserve a real shout out, they were all so helpful, kind, discreet and thoughtful before and on the day - one person even helped my friend with her newborn baby so she could have a hot meal! So thankful, couldn't recommend more.

    South Farm's reply:

    Thank you so much for this wonderful review, it means the world to us!

    We're absolutely thrilled to hear that you had an incredible day. It's always our goal to handle the details so you can just relax and enjoy every moment, so it's lovely to know that came through.

    Our team will be especially delighted to read your kind words. We'll be sure to pass on your thanks to everyone involved.

    Thank you again for choosing South Farm and for taking the time to share such a heartfelt review. We wish you both a lifetime of happiness together!

    Warmest wishes,
    The South Farm Team

    A Perfect Day

    South Farm is the most beautiful venue with the most amazingly friendly, helpful and experienced staff. We are over the moon with how our wedding day went. From the very first open day we visited to the day after our wedding we experienced fantastic communication and planning. The staff were super happy to help us implement our dream wedding and went above and beyond to help us with set up and packing away of our decorations. We could not recommend this venue more.

    South Farm's reply:

    Thank you so much for this heartfelt review, it truly means a lot to us. We're so glad you found South Farm beautiful and that our team made you feel genuinely supported on the day, that's exactly the kind of care we hope every guest experiences, especially when it matters most.

    Thank you again for sharing this. We wish you all the very best! Team SF x

    A perfect day

    Our wedding at South Farm was perfect from start to finish. Our event manager (Hayley) was superb ensuring everything went off without a hitch. If anything did go wrong, we were and still are completely unaware. The venue is beautiful, the food was stunning and animals make it even more magical. We would highly recommend South Farm to any couples looking to tie the knot.

    South Farm's reply:

    Hi Jo, Thank you so much for such a wonderful review, it truly means a lot to us! We're delighted that your wedding day was everything you hoped for, and we'll be sure to pass on your kind words to Hayley, she'll be thrilled to hear this. It's exactly the kind of seamless, stress-free day we strive to create for every couple, so it's lovely to know it came together so beautifully for you. We're so glad you enjoyed the venue, the food, and of course our animals, they really do add something special! Thank you for choosing South Farm to celebrate your big day, and for recommending us to other couples. We wish you both a lifetime of happiness together. Love Team SF x

    The most perfect wedding day

    From the first phone call to enquire about a viewing, we were met with enthusiasm and kindness and every time we called or visited after we were treated with the same compassion, with everyone using our names and speaking to us as if they knew us personally. Needless to say, after our first viewing we didn't even look at any other venues! All queries were met with helpful responses and nothing was ever too much trouble, even some slightly odd or out of the ordinary requests. The communication throughout the build-up was outstanding, the visits and meetings all met with huge excitement for us as a couple and for our wedding. The venue began to feel 'like home' and we enjoyed every trip and visit. From tours with our respective parties, to the menu tasting and Apple Shed viewing, then dropping off items a few days before the big day, all just added to the experience.

    On the day, what can I say, it ran seamlessly and with what I assume, were no hiccups! If there were any, we were not made aware of any and had the most perfect, magical day! From the moment myself and the bridesmaids arrived, everything went to plan, it was tranquil and calm. Housekeeping came when they said and delivered the extra bits I requested straight away. They were also accommodating when we popped round with the gift bags etc to distribute to rooms before the guests arrived. Helen arrived was the perfect event manager, keeping us up to date and informed of all the day's proceedings and letting us know the running of the day and where we needed to be and when. And again, met us, with the same air of enthusiasm and kindness we have grown to love from South Farm.

    Our guests have all fed back to us how amazing the venue was from the setting to the food and how it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to! The photos we have from friends and family are stunning and I cannot wait until we see the professional ones.

    We can't quite find enough complimentary words for you all and to express how much we enjoyed our day! And we will recommend you to anyone and everyone as it really was the most perfect day, and that is not just because of the stunning venue and delicious food etc It hugely comes down to the team and how they interact with couples and the services provided.

    South Farm's reply:

    Hi Coral, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and detailed review, it's genuinely lovely to read. We're so touched to hear that our team made you feel cared for right from that very first phone call, and that this stayed consistent through every visit, query, and meeting along the way, that personal touch really does matter to us, so it means the world that it came through so clearly.

    We're delighted the whole build-up, from tours and tastings to the Apple Shed viewing, felt exciting and special rather than stressful, and that South Farm started to feel like home to you both. And what a joy to hear the day itself ran so smoothly!

    It's wonderful to know your guests loved the day as much as you did.

    Thank you for such generous recommendations, and for trusting us with your wedding day. Comments like this remind our whole team why we love what we do. We wish you both a lifetime of happiness together. Love, Team SF x

    The perfect day

    Thank you SO much to you and everyone at South Farm for all the hard work that went into making our wedding day completely perfect. The venue itself was beautiful of course (particular shout out to the duck family that watched the ceremony) but what really stood out to us was how completely seamless the day was. A special thank you to Helen for solving any issues long before we knew of them and making sure everyone was happy and in the right place. It is truly amazing how well-oiled the South Farm operation is. I also hugely appreciate the time and thought that went into the planning process - someone was always quick to respond to my (many) emails, and the planning day itself was so thorough that it completely put our minds at ease.

    The food was also stunning, we had so many guests compliment it - several saying it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had.

    We had the most perfect day and couldn’t have picked a better venue - and one that felt more “us” than South Farm. Wish we could do it all again!

    South Farm's reply:

    Hi Tara, Thank you so much for this wonderful review, it's made our day reading it! We're so glad the venue felt so beautifully "you" (and that the duck family showed up to support, they do love a good ceremony!).

    We're also really glad the planning process felt supportive rather than stressful! It's exactly why we put so much into the planning day and communication along the way, so it's wonderful to know it paid off and put your minds at ease.

    And what fantastic feedback on the food, we'll be sure to pass that along to the chefs, they'll be thrilled to hear guests rated it the best wedding food they've had.

    Thank you for trusting us with your day and for such kind, generous words. We'd happily have you back to do it all again too! Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness together. Love, Team SF x

    A midsummer night's dream

    Our wedding at South Farm was the most magical day. I can't recommend South Farm and the brilliant team who work there more.
    From the very beginning, the South Farm team were incredibly attentive, helpful, friendly, professional and flexible - we felt supported throughout. Wedding planning didn't feel stressful with them there for us. On the day, Hayley and the team were wonderful - we felt so relaxed, calm, and in control thanks to them and didn't have to worry about anything. They worked so hard to make it the perfect day for us and the guests, and yet we barely saw any of it. True professionals.
    The venue itself is a dream: the house and the barns are beautiful and make for stunning backdrops for a wonderful wedding. The gardens are out of this world: so beautiful and you really feel like you are in your own little special world for the day.
    The accommodation is excellent: luxurious, comfortable and well equipped with everything you need for the best day.
    The food is brilliant: local, fresh, sustainable, and delicious. All hats off to the chefs and kitchen team. All our guests said that it's the best wedding food they have ever had. And the wines and drink selection is great.

    South Farm let us have the most magical day. We've been married now for four weeks and we can't stop smiling. South Farm made that happen. Thank you all so much.

    South Farm's reply:

    Hi Thomas,

    Thank you so much for this incredible review, and many congratulations again on your marriage! We love that you're still smiling four weeks on, that's exactly what we hope for every couple.

    We're so glad the planning process felt supported rather than stressful, and Hayley will be absolutely delighted to hear how calm and looked after you felt on the day.

    It's lovely to hear the house, barns, and gardens gave you that "own little world" feeling, and that the accommodation added to the magic too. We'll also be sure to pass your kind words on to the chefs, hearing your guests rated it the best wedding food they've ever had will mean a great deal to them.

    Thank you for such generous words about the whole team, and for trusting us with your wedding day. We wish you both a lifetime of happiness together. Love Team SF x

    The Perfect Countryside Venue for the Most Incredible Wedding!

    We could not have asked for a better venue to host our wedding than South Farm. It was the perfect countryside farm location for our big day. Every single part of the venue is absolutely stunning and beautifully maintained, with so much character and lots of extra little touches like fairy lights which make the rooms look even prettier. Every location across the venue is guaranteed to look gorgeous no matter the season, and their ecofriendly approach to weddings makes South Farm even more outstanding.
    The South Farm team are so helpful, super organised and responsive when we had any questions about the planning process. They provided us with lots of useful recommendations throughout the whole process to help us bring our wedding vision to life, helping with everything from proof-reading our invitations to checking with guests about allergies. During our planning meeting and on the big day, our event manager Nikki was an absolute rockstar! She was so much fun to have around and kept everything running like clockwork.
    All of the food was incredible; a lot of it is grown on site and you can taste how fresh the ingredients are. We are also in awe of the fact that the catering team managed to cater for so many different dietary requirements without anyone having to miss out! Everyone said the food was amazing and there were definitely no hungry guests. The breakfast the day after was delicious as well and the onsite accommodation is beautifully decorated, super clean and really comfy too.
    Every member of staff was so friendly and thoughtful throughout the entire day from the moment we arrived until we left after breakfast the next morning. Everyone went out of their way to make sure that we had the best time possible, down to the smallest details, like moving our memorial table outside so it was near our ceremony area and saving extra canapes for my husband and I so we didn’t miss out while taking photos. So many of our guests commented on how lovely the all the staff were and how everyone seemed to genuinely enjoy working there and were happy to talk to our family and friends. It’s clear how hard everyone works; how much they all care about South Farm and about their couples having a fantastic time.
    And we couldn’t leave a South Farm review without mentioning the BABY PIGLETS!!! They are soooo adorable and we were lucky enough to be able to say hello to them! So many of our guests enjoyed walking around the venue and meeting the chickens and baby goats and donkeys and the piggies, especially the kids and the grandparents!
    We have had so many family members and friends tell us it was the best wedding they have ever been to, from the venue spaces to the food to the staff and the accommodation. They are still talking about it 2 months on! It really is a one-of-a-kind venue with the most phenomenal team of people. We could not have had a more spectacular, joyful, wonderful wedding day and we can only say thank you to the whole team at South Farm for giving us the most magical wedding ever – it was all we could have hoped for and so much more and will forever hold a place in our hearts as one of the best days of our lives!

    South Farm's reply:

    Hi Charlotte, Thank you so much for this incredibly detailed and heartfelt review, we honestly don't know where to start! It's clear so much love went into writing this, and it means the world to us.

    We're so glad South Farm gave you that perfect countryside setting, and that little details like the fairy lights and our eco-friendly approach added to the magic. It's also wonderful to hear the planning process felt so supported and Nikki will be absolutely thrilled to be called a rockstar, keeping things running smoothly while still making it fun is exactly her style.

    We're really pleased the food struck a chord too, our catering team works so hard to make sure every guest is well looked after regardless of dietary needs, so it's lovely to know that came through, along with the breakfast and accommodation the next morning.

    Thank you also for noticing the little things, like moving the memorial table and saving canapés for you both, those small touches matter so much to us, and it's wonderful that our team's care and genuine enjoyment of their work shone through to your guests too.

    And of course, we can't not mention the piglets! We're so glad you and your guests got to meet all the animals, they really do add something special to every wedding here.

    Thank you for such a generous, joyful review, and for trusting us with one of the best days of your lives. We're so grateful to have been part of your story, and we wish you both a lifetime of happiness together. Love, Team SF x

    South Farm, for the perfect wedding day

    South Farm organised and ran the perfect wedding day. From the level of communication and planning beforehand, sorting everything to the finest detail, and allowing us to make adjustments as we required them, to the day itself which ran impeccably. We had nothing to think about on the day, allowing us to just be in the moment as husband and wife, celebrating with our friends and family. We want one of our friends to get married there so we can experience the magic again as soon as possible. A special shout out to our event manager Hayley who took the utmost care of us on the day, but the entire South Farm family took amazing care of us and our guests. We would recommend this venue to everyone.

    South Farm's reply:

    Hi Sarah, Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're delighted the planning process felt so thorough and flexible, and that the day itself ran seamlessly enough for you both to simply be present and enjoy every moment as husband and wife, that's exactly what we hope for.

    Hayley will be absolutely delighted with your kind words and we're so glad the wider team made you and your guests feel just as looked after too.

    Thank you for such a generous recommendation and for trusting us with your wedding day. We wish you both a lifetime of happiness together. Best wishes, Team SF x

    A special thank you goes to our incredible Events Manager, Julie, who was outstanding throughout the whole process. Her support, organisation, and attention to detail gave us complete confidence that everything would run smoothly.

    Amazing day

    From the initial sight I fell in love with south farm as a venue. After meeting with the staff it solidified that this was the venue for us.
    Their attention to detail and care is amazing.
    The communication from them was great and very clear and I always felt I knew what was happening!
    On the day we had Helen who was so attentive ensuring we were okay all day and grabbing anything we needed.
    She ensured that the day ran on time which I was very thankful for as I had no clue what time of day it was!
    She took care of not only us but all the guests during our time there.
    The food was amazing and we received many compliments about the staff and food from the venue.
    Thank you very much for making our day go exactly how we had envisioned.
    If you want a venue that the staff love there jobs and care about everything they do I would recommend south farm!

    South Farm's reply:

    Hi Lucy, Thanks for your very kind words. We are all so passionate about weddings here at South Farm! We are pleased that you enjoyed all aspects of your wedding day from the food, the staff experience and the beautiful venue itself. We wish you all the best for the future! Team South Farm x
