    The most amazing day!

    We are Louise & Luke and we booked Stanford Farm for our wedding venue. We had the most amazing day. We loved the idea of a 3 day wedding and spending the night before with our nearest and dearest, we loved the day after too as we were able to have breakfast and there was no rush to get going.
    We decided to have our wedding at Stanford because it suited us as we are outdoorsy people and we knew our children would love the space and freedom to do what they wanted. The accommodation was all amazing and very quirky, all of our guest loved it. What a little gem Stanford Farm is.
    Nothing was too much trouble the staff are amazing and were a huge part of our day. The support, tips and recommendations from Stanford Farm were just amazing we couldn’t have asked for a better day.
    We want to do it all again!
    All of our guests absolutely loved the place and we did too as we were able to do what we wanted within reason and it was all done by us so was perfect!
    Thank you for the best day ever!

    Couldn’t have asked for a better day!

    The owners and staff at Stanford Farm could not have been more helpful, from the moment we arrived to view the venue we instantly felt welcomed and looked after, a vibe that continued all the way until after our wedding! Any nerves or worries I had in the week leading up to the wedding instantly melted away when I arrived the morning before, staff were on hand with any questions and queries and their own calm and collected demeanour helped to keep us calm too! Our day ran as smoothly as it could, all down to the behind the scenes work of Kieth and his staff.

    Another big plus was the prop shop at Stanford. A huge room full of so many decorations and games and signs, we were allowed access to this prop shop ahead of time to take note of what we could use ourselves, saved us lots of time trying to source all our decor and accessories!

    The farmhouse was the perfect place for us to stay with our close family, it was incredibly clean and very well stocked, the bridal suite was the most perfect room to get ready in with my bridesmaids with lots of lighting and mirrors.

    Overall I could not have asked for a better venue to get married at, not just for the ideal all in one place facilities, but Keith and family were there every step of the way and happy to answer our endless questions and queries!

    Stanford Farm's reply:

    Hi Laura, thank you for your kind review. We love hearing our couples say that they couldn’t have asked for a better day! Thank you too for your kind words regarding Team Stanford, we loved helping make sure you had the best day.

    Sister Act Themed Wedding

    rom the first moment we visited Stanford Farm, we knew it was something special. We’d been looking for a venue that wasn’t too traditional or formal — somewhere with a bit of quirk and personality that gave us the freedom to do things our way. Stanford Farm stood out immediately. It had this relaxed, welcoming feel that put us at ease straight away, and the more we explored, the more we could imagine the whole weekend unfolding there.

    We hired the venue from Friday to Monday, and I honestly can’t recommend the weekend hire enough. Having that extra time meant we never felt rushed. We had space to properly settle in, spend time with our guests, and enjoy every moment without it feeling like it was all over in a flash.

    Friday felt like the start of a mini festival. Our friends and family arrived throughout the day to set up their tents and help us decorate the barn. There was music playing, dogs exploring the fields, everyone pitching in, and just this lovely sense of excitement building. It turned what’s usually a stressful setup day into one of my favourite memories from the whole weekend.

    Saturday, the wedding day itself, was exactly what we’d dreamed of — joyful, a bit theatrical, and totally us. I’ve always loved Sister Act, so we leaned into that for the ceremony. The bridesmaids were dressed as nuns, and we had a full gospel choir singing us down the aisle. It was honestly one of the most magical, hilarious, and emotional moments of my life. There was so much energy and joy in the room, and our guests absolutely loved it.

    After the ceremony, we moved into the barn for speeches before dinner. It felt intimate, personal, and full of laughter. The barn looked gorgeous, and the layout gave us loads of flexibility to make it feel like us. We had fantastic live music in the evening from The Cover Ducks, who absolutely brought the party. The dancefloor was packed, and people were still talking the next day about how good they were.

    Sunday gave us time to wind down and soak everything in. We started the day slowly with tea, bacon butties, and stories from the night before, then held a line dancing class in the barn led by Honkey Tonk Highway. It was a brilliant way to get everyone moving again — silly, joyful, and inclusive. People showed up in cowboy hats and had the best time. It turned out to be one of the real highlights of the weekend.

    One of the things I appreciated most was how flexible the venue was. We were able to bring in our own caterers, decorate how we liked, and set our own schedule. It never felt like a ‘wedding package’ or production line. Instead, it felt like the team genuinely wanted us to have a brilliant time and supported us in creating a weekend that was truly ours. They were friendly, responsive, and gave us space to enjoy the venue as if it were our own.

    Our guests absolutely loved it. So many people commented on how unique and fun the venue was. Being able to stay on site in tents or campervans made it feel like one big celebration, rather than a single day. The dogs had the best time too — there was plenty of room for them to roam and relax, and the whole place felt really dog-friendly, which was important to us.

    We left on Monday completely exhausted in the best way. It had been a full weekend of connection, joy, dancing, and laughter, and Stanford Farm gave us the perfect setting for it all. If you’re looking for a venue with flexibility, personality, and a genuinely caring team, we couldn’t recommend it more. It felt like our wedding — not a template — and that made all the difference.

    The best day of our lives made better

    Stanford Farm was the perfect venue for us, the landscape, the buildings, the vines, just everything! From the first day we saw it, we loved it, but then came our 3 day wedding. Everything we’d dreamed of came true, just when you think it wouldn’t meet expectations, it surpassed them. The team are beyond helpful, doing so many little things behind the scenes on your day just to make it all seamless! Just perfect in every way!
    Kieth was our star of the day. Our on the day coordinator, made us feel relaxed, kept us smiling and made everything run so smoothly-his attention to the little details is insane! So much love and appreciation for his presence on our day.
    From hay bales, vintage food trucks and camping on your wedding night to sleeping in converted train carriages and double decker buses, Stanford has it all. I promise you will not regret making your own wedding here, no where else compares.

    Best day of our lives

    The team at Stanford farm made our dream wedding run perfectly, they made it stress free so we could just enjoy the day. The venue was so beautiful and perfectly set out for whatever the weather. The stables are the most beautiful place to say “I do”.
    With the venue being dog friendly we had our two dogs with us at the wedding, both high energy dogs so we was worried with how it would go but with the team being so relaxed we was able to relax and let our dogs enjoy the big venue grounds and they had the best time.
    Best decision that we chose this venue. We loved every second of our day and we couldn’t thank the team enough for making our day not only for us but for every single guest so special and amazing

    Allowed us to relax and truly enjoy our special day

    We fell in love with Stanford Farm as soon as we visited for our first viewing. From the individualised tour, taking the time to get to know us, to being on the end of an email answering our questions, the staff took care of us every step of the way and ensured we could truly relax and enjoy every moment of our wedding day. The staff work so hard, with plenty of attention to detail. Particular shout out to Keith, for whom nothing was too much trouble. He gave us practical and emotional support throughout the day, lending his knowledge and expertise but allowing us to do things our way.
    Stanford Farm is flexible and adaptable, allowing you to host your wedding your way, which was perfect for us.

    Stanford Farm's reply:

    Hi Anna, Thank you for your wonderful words, it means so much to Team Stanford, who all work so hard to achieve this high standard with a relaxed atmosphere xx

    DIY venue- fantastically unique with the best customer service

    Great venue- blank canvas you can make as formal/informal as you like. Fab!

    Exclusive use of the venue means it's perfect for children- we felt assured that the children could run around safely and have the time of their life! Keith Is a star- nothing is too much trouble and you feel that your wedding is the most important thing to him which was so reassuring for us. The prop shop was fantsstic- saved us lots of money in the long run in terms of decoration and the finer little touches. All our guests raved about the venue, and if we could do it all again we would choose stanford farm and the team ten times over! We would gave no hesitation in recommending this as a wedding venue with the best customer service

    Fabulous Venue

    We got married at Stanford farm on 5th October 2024. Keith and all the Stanford farm team were brilliant from the first meeting to the day itself. The venue is stunning and constantly there is investment being made. Having Keith with us to co ordinate the day meant that we could relax and have the most perfect day with our Guests. We cannot thank the team enough.
