Reviews for Runa Farm
Mr & Mrs Hammond Wedding 23/03/2025 Runs Farm
Everyone commented on the food and said that it was all absolutely gorgeous. From the 3 course wedding breakfast to the evening food to breakfast the following morning was all absolutely gorgeous.
We couldn’t have asked for a better venue. The full team went above and beyond.
Thank you again!
Our perfect wedding weekend at Runa Farm
Our wedding was on the following day, and we were supported throughout by Amy and Ian. Our guests commented that the venue was amazing, and we couldn't agree more. We fell in love with it from the minute we visited, and it made our day very special.
Staff were welcoming, professional and always happy to help. Special thanks also to Eva during the run up to our big day, she made everything flow and was really responsive to any emails, etc.
All the guests commented on how beautiful the food and drinks were - especially the beef! This was served quickly and professionally, meaning that everyone got a hot meal together, despite there being over 70 guests.
The rooms are lovely, especially those with hot tubs.
Overall we cannot recommend Runa Farm enough and are looking forward to staying there in the future.
Unforgettable day!
Amazing from start to finish
Our confidence was knocked and we really needed a venue to make us feel comfortable and supported. We got that and so much more from Runa farm.
Our day was perfect, the staff were absolutely incredible, nothing was any trouble at all.
Ian and Amy made everything flow perfectly. If you get amy or Ian know your in the best hands. Ian’s MC skills are outstanding. Amy has the most amazing talents to dress a venue we were blown away! We had no vendors as I had made everything myself and we had so much to set up. I was very nervous about this but Amy took everything from us, told me to chill and enjoy my day. Everything was set up perfectly! Much better than I could’ve done myself, if you are a DIY bride Runa is so accommodating!
Even before our wedding Jenna at the apartment group was amazing we could reach out and time for support, no question was too silly.
We went to several open days in the run up to the venue and we were always made to feel welcome.
We also have to give a big shout out to the sensational bar staff. They were so kind, helpful and really went above and beyond all day.
The food was also incredible we had the tapas and our guests were all so complimentary about how fantastic it was. Our table plan was a little complicated but the chef was so helpful and made all our plans come to life.
The farm house the night before was great what a fantastic way to start our wedding weekend.
Our two dogs were ring bearers, they are a little temperamental with people so we were very nervous to have them there. Runa farm was amazing with our boys the staff were so helpful. It meant the world to us to have our dogs be part of our day. If our dogs were being a little tricky and barking the staff were so kind about it we felt so at ease.
I can’t express enough how fantastic everyone was. If you’re thinking of booking Runa farm you’ll not be disappointed!

Simply wow!
Runa Farm - The Dream Wedding Venue
What dreams are made of
Massive thanks to Emma who ran our day. She was extremely professional, down to Earth and made myself and my husband relax into the whole day, allowing us to enjoy the whole experience. She deserves a medal!
Ian, our master if ceremonies - what a guy! Very friendly, on it and amazing at what he does.
All the bar staff we very professional. Shout out to Josh in particular, very friendly and complimentary to the guests. He makes a delicious cocktail. Staff we also on it with the drinks and delivery of the food. It was spot on!
The whole day ran very smoothly. We had a tight schedule due to having a later wedding, but all staff at Runa Farm pulled out the stops and we can not thank you enough. We had a magical day, one that our guests can not stop talking about. The whole atmosphere, lighting, decor and venue rooms blew everyone away.
You have helped us make some amazing memories and for this we are truly grateful.
K & B
Wedding day more amazing than we could of ever imagine!
Exceptional day
The whole team were fabulous and did everything with a smile on their face and had the best positive energy. We literally didn’t have to think about anything. Emma, Amy and Ian sorted our entire day with a smile on their face and amazing banter. We literally felt like we had known the team for years, they just made us feel so comfortable and at ease in their presence. They are all exceptional at their jobs and you don’t need to worry about anything and just go with the flow, trust the process and have an exceptional day! Nothing was any trouble if we needed to change things or add things and it just added such a special touch to the wedding, could not have asked for a better team.
The food was amazing and they really accommodated for everyone, even the fussy ones….!
We had lots of comments from our guests saying what a beautiful venue it was and how accommodating all the staff were. The venue is stunning but it’s also the people that make it extra special.
We stayed the night before and were greeted from the beginning with smiles and positive energies from all the staff we met. We relaxed in the outdoor hot tub and got to see an owl fly past which was another magical part of our wedding lead up.
The next day we were packing up our things but both Emma and Ian came across chatting with us. It felt so lovely that just because our day was over, the staff still had time for us and wanted to check if there was anything at all that we needed.
The wedding day itself was exceptional and such a magical day. Could not fault any part of it. We really felt looked after and felt the love from the entire team! Can’t wait to go back on another occasion.
The best day of our lives
Perfect in every way!
On the day we didn't have to think about a single detail. We sat down with the unbelievably amazing Emma and hashed out a plan of action the night before our wedding and she was not only meticulous but thoughtful, funny, and took command of all of our suppliers. I've never met anyone so unbelievably good at their job. If you get married at Runa, you have to ask for Emma.
However you'll also want Ethan. Ethan was a phenomenal master of ceremonies. He looked after us on the day, calmed our nerves and made sure we were where we needed to be. He befriended all of our guests and made everyone feel incredibly welcome. He listened to our rubbish jokes and joined in at every step.
Emma and Ethan were a powerhouse of a team backed by a wonderful support team. Every single member of staff went out of their way to make us feel special.
They made our day perfect and I'll absolutely be telling everyone that they need to get married at Runa. What an amazing team and a beautiful venue!
