Reviews for Runa Farm
Most amazing day
Our wedding coordinator, Eva, was fantastic — professional, approachable and always there to answer any questions we had along the way. She made everything feel manageable and kept us reassured throughout.
Special mentions have to go to Amy, our wedding manager, who was incredible on the day. She made sure everything ran smoothly behind the scenes, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy every moment, as well as Ian, the master of ceremonies, who was brilliant — he kept everything flowing perfectly and added such a warm, confident presence to the day. He even went that extra mile for our dog the day of our wedding and the day after!
The whole team at Runa Farm were attentive, experienced, and handled everything with such care and professionalism. The food was amazing, and every detail came together perfectly. It truly was everything we wanted from our wedding day and more.
Thank you so much to everyone at Runa Farm for making it so special. 🤍
I wish I could do it all over again!
Everyone loved it, the chapel is like no other and everyone on the day made us feel so special. Becky really looked after us, even though her venue was lartington hall, she joined us on the day alongside Ian our master of ceremonies and they literally went above and beyond making sure we didn't need anything or want for anything.
A truly amazing day made even more so by the fabulous efforts of Runa!
Thank you, I would love to get married at all of your venues haha!
Fantastic Venue
Dream Wedding
Mark was fantastic showing us round, answered all our questions and made the decision for choosing here an easy one.
Eva our wedding co-ordinator made everything so smooth and simple. From taster evenings to wedding showcases ensuring that your whole day is planned to perfection. What an absolute star she’s been and a credit to the team at RunaFarm!
On the day; Kelci our wedding manager made sure everything went to plan popping in to compliment how amazing every thing looked and to make sure we were happy with how our day was progressing.
Richard, our master of ceremonies, the perfect gentleman. Looked after myself and the guests all evening! Never once did anyone feel rushed around or sat waiting the whole day flowed beautifully from start to finish.
The front of house team at Runa made sure everyone’s glass was always full, were always on hand if anyone had any questions and made our day one we’ll never forget. Especially with our youngest two boys having Autism (non verbal) and having them be just as much a part of our day without feeling restricted or left out.
The whole team made sure our day gave us memories we’ll never forget and our guests something to talk about for years to come! Thank you for everything you’ve done for us and helping make our day one to remember.
The best day EVER
22.02.2026 The Ritsons
Our wedding day was spectacular and ran perfectly. Our wedding co-ordinator (Paige) was so patient with me, answering all of my queries and last minute changes. Our wedding manager (Becca) is truly one of the nicest people, from the second I met her she calmed me down and I just knew I would not need to worry about anything. From making sure we had a confetti shot, to getting us drinks, decorating the rooms, looking after me and my MOH, to giving us heart shaped glasses with our wedding date on - she truly went above and beyond and is an absolute credit to the apartment group.
Our master of ceremonies (Ian) was also truly fantastic, and is so passionate about his role. All of our guests commented on how helpful he was, nothing was too much to ask. He helped our family members who struggle with their mobility, got us drinks, and helped keep us laughing. Ian was actually the first person to show us around the venue, and he truly is part of the reason we booked our wedding at Runa Farm.
The bar staff, the servers were all incredible and so friendly. The food was amazing and was commented on by all of our guests.
If you are considering booking your wedding at Runa Farm, please just do it - you will not be disappointed. It will be the best day of your life.

The best wedding venue imaginable
From the moment we viewed Runa farm we were greeted with outstanding service and such warmth! You could tell all the staff genuinely loved their jobs. Then Runa farm itself is just unbelievable!! The attention to detail at this venue we just knew this had to be our wedding venue.
We had a lovely wedding co-ordinator called Kenzie, nothing was too much trouble! She drove to Runa farm for all of our meetings even in the snow!! Which if that isn’t dedication then I don’t know what is! She sent a beautiful email the day of the wedding and then also checked in with us the day after the wedding! She has just been flawless, her planning, organisation and just kindness has meant she gave us the best day imaginable and we will forever be great full for the day we had!
Now onto the wedding day itself!! Where do I begin? Kelsie our wedding manager and Ian the master or ceremony are literally walking angels! These two were incredible!!
Kelsie thank you for being just a truly beautiful person from steaming my mum and sisters dresses for us and getting us drinks when we didn’t even ask was just absolute bliss! She was so so kind and caring the whole day paying me so many compliments she really did make me feel so so special! Nothing was too much trouble and she is amazing at her job.
Ian thank you for making us laugh and just bringing the whole vibe to the day! You really do get the adrenaline going and everyone excited! Thank you for sorting all the men out with button holes and being their wingman throughout the day! You are a well oiled ship and know exactly what you are doing and you are an absolute credit to the Runa farm team!
The staff behind the bar were lovely, waitresses who were just on it! Knew exactly where people’s food were going and just doing an amazing job! The lady (sorry don’t catch her name) who works the reception was just amazing! So so kind!!
Honestly I’m going to have to wrap this up before I cry (which at the moment is a lot) I wish I could do the whole day again! It was enjoyable thanks to each and every staff member at Runa Farm.
The day was absolutely perfect- thank you to each and everyone who was involved in the best day of our lives!
The best day ever!
The venue itself though was next level and what made it was the staff! Ian and the team took care of everything we could have wanted and made our vision come to life. The food was nothing short of fantastic, the organisation seamless and the decor everything we could have imagined. Nothing was too much trouble or too tall an order. Our day was a dream, stress free and utter joy! Truly the happiest day of our lives and we’ll be eternally grateful to everyone for their input on our unforgettable day.
Exceptional venue and staff!
The staff at Runa are equally impressive. Every single person we met was friendly, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our day everything we hoped for. They are all a credit to Runa.
A special mention must go to Kenzie, our wedding coordinator. She was incredible from start to finish, communicative, organised, and regularly checking in. Thanks to her, we always felt everything was in hand.
On the day itself, Amy, our wedding manager, was truly amazing. Nothing was too much trouble, and her calm, relaxed manner really helped to ease my nerves and take away the overwhelm that every bride feels. Alongside Tommy our wonderful master of ceremonies, they kept the day flowing smoothly and beautifully.
We also want to thank Emma from the accommodation team—so welcoming, helpful, and attentive to our guests’ needs. Everyone felt well looked after and happy with their stay.
What we didn’t expect was for our day to take an emotional turn when our dog, who was meant to be part of our celebration was reported missing by our dog walker. We had to leave the evening reception to search for him, and it was incredibly distressing. During this difficult time, the staff truly went above and beyond.
A heartfelt shout-out to Aimee from the bar. She supported our guests brilliantly, ensured the party continued as best it could, and many commented on how fabulous she was. Both Aimee and Amy even helped share media posts to support the search for our dog, especially as we weren’t local to the area. Thanks to the incredible community effort, he was found the next day.
The support we received from Amy, Kenzie and the team during and after the wedding was nothing short of extraordinary. We are deeply grateful to them and all the staff from the Runa Farm team. You are all invaluable and a true credit to the venue.
Thank you for making our day magical, and for being there when we needed you most.
Wedding of dreams and amazing venue
We fell in love with the venue as soon as we seen it and had an idea in our heads of what it would all be like on the day. Runa Farm made sure it was exactly as we wanted with ease. The day ran smoothly from start to finish with a fast flowing wedding breakfast, and a brilliant MOC.
All the food was amazing, the drinks were delicious and the venue is effortlessly beautiful.
All the staff from the bar staff, wedding co-ordinators, servers etc were so professional and on point. We literally cannot complain about anything.
Nothing was too big or too small for them. For example, at the meeting the night before the wedding with the wedding co-ordinator Amy, she asked us what drink we would like waiting for us just after the ceremony on the mezzanine and my husband asked for a Guinness. Amy mentioned they no longer have any Guinness on site and he remarked “ah that’s a shame” before requesting something else. The next day on the mezzanine was a pint of Guinness waiting for him and it was supplied throughout the rest of the day. We have no idea how or when they got it but we were so impressed. It was that sort of small attention to details that just made the day perfect and what sets Runa Farm apart.
I would highly recommend the venue to anyone considering it. It really is perfect and you won’t regret it.
Our Dream Wedding
The whole process has been seamless and I couldn’t recommend Runa Farm more!
Beyond words
The venue and grounds are outstanding , the value for money and the packages on offer are fantastic. The food was delicious, the farmhouse is amazing and well worth staying in the night before the wedding! The honeymoon suite, the grounds… the list is endless it was all beautiful.
