Thanks!
Steph and Jamie - 5/10/2026
We loved our wedding at Runa Farm!
Amazing wedding 100% recommend
Fantastic wedding day
Couldn't have dreamed of a better team and venue!
The most magical day
Absolutely perfect - best day ever!
Helping alongside and coordinating everything including seating plan changes, food changes, balancing drinks packages and everything in between was Emily who just seemed to say, sure, I’ll fix it - even at the 11th hour - an absolute star, and Emma on reservations who juggled our room requests around perfectly and just made our lives easy.
In amongst all of this we had fantastic registrars, an amazing violinist, an outstanding classical singer, a brilliant magician and a superb duo all who needed organising by Kelci and Steve in terms of placement and timing and it was seamless…..
Perfect venue, great service, excellent food, top class management by a young, energetic, and talented team. Absolutely perfect…..
Wedding day 26.7.2026
Runa will forever hold a special place in our hearts and is an amazing venue, we had so many compliments on the team and the venue and can't wait to return to stay in the near future. Thank you again for making our day so special, Holly & Ryan!
Best wedding ever!
Best day of our lives
Highly recommend Runa Farm as a wedding venue.
The staff; particularly Emma Cheslett our wedding coordinator, Ian, our Master of Ceremonies and onsite coordinator Kelsey - a credit to the venue & company. These people made our day magical.
They all went above and beyond to ensure it was a day to remember. - thank you so much.
The food, decor, ambiance, drinks, staff, accommodation, care and effort were all superb
Nothing was ever too much trouble and on the day our expectations were exceeded.
Book this venue, you won’t regret it.
Dream Wedding Venue - Thank you.
The planning process was fantastic from start to finish. Paige, our wedding coordinator was absolutely amazing. Nothing was ever too much trouble – and I genuinely mean nothing. Every question was answered, every request was met with a smile, and the whole team did everything they could to take away any stress so we could simply enjoy the lead-up to our wedding.
A huge, heartfelt thank you to Elle and Ian. Elle was our Wedding Manager, and from our final meeting the evening before the wedding right through to saying goodbye after what must have been a very long shift, she was absolutely incredible. She has such a warm, calming presence and made us feel so reassured every step of the way. She validated every little worry, kept everything running seamlessly behind the scenes, and allowed us to be completely present and enjoy every second of our day. I knew we were in the safest hands.
And Ian… if you want the best wedding MC, Ian is your man! He took the time to get to know us and our families, and it genuinely felt like he cared just as much about making our day special as we did. He brought so much personality, warmth and humour to the day, and our guests absolutely loved him.
The rest of the team deserve just as much recognition too. We know hospitality is a tough industry, and every single member of staff worked so hard to make our day perfect. We genuinely hope they enjoyed being part of it because they played such a huge role in creating memories we’ll treasure forever.
The food was fantastic, and while the drinks are on the pricier side, that’s exactly what you’d expect from such a high-end, beautiful venue.
The accommodation was faultless. The farmhouse was absolutely stunning, and we are so glad we booked it for the night before the wedding—it made the whole experience even more special. The honeymoon suite was equally beautiful, and ending our wedding day relaxing in the hot tub while reminiscing about everything that had happened is a memory we’ll always treasure.
On the day itself, the venue looked even more breath-taking than we could have imagined. As the bride and groom, we genuinely felt like royalty. Everything ran so smoothly that if anything did go wrong behind the scenes, we had absolutely no idea—which is exactly how it should be! Our guests haven’t stopped talking about the venue, and so many have told us it’s one of the most beautiful wedding venues they’ve ever been to.
Thank you to every single person at Runa Farm for giving us the most incredible day of our lives. We would recommend Runa Farm one million percent to anyone looking for a wedding venue. It isn’t just a beautiful place to get married—it’s an unforgettable experience, made even more special by the amazing people who work there.
