Our day was so lovely – everything we hoped for. You have such attention to detail. All of your staff are excellent. Thank you Emily for looking after us so well – you made it so easy for us. You were wonderful – professional, but always friendly and kind. Especially when I presented you with 4 very, very last-minute drop outs!!! With love to you all and Emily,You have an amazing team Venue Service By Kathryn and Andy Clarkson, on 01 Nov 2018Date of Wedding - 27 Oct 2018 Hi South Farm, We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone at South Farm for making Sarah and Adam’s wedding day such an incredible celebration. Sarah and Adam knew they wanted their wedding to be at your venue on their visit day. However, they decided look at one other venue just in case. Don’t know why they did that! Sarah was not interested in the other place at all. Her Dad commented to her as we left the other venue, “South Farm is just you Sarah. It’s higgledy piggledy” by which he meant it was quirky! So glad we then went ahead and booked you! The venue looked stunning so many guests commented on this. The food was exceptional especially the scotch eggs which we hear are now on the menu. It’s so important to feed your guests well and you did that for us. Sarah and Adam and her sibling’s favourite moment was visiting the pigs. It made their day especially when the bride got pig poo all over her hand. Please pass on our sincerest gratitude to all your staff. You have an amazing team! Everyone I have spoken to at South Farm did their best to accommodate our requests and sorted everything calmly, efficiently and swiftly. I would especially like to say a big thank you to Alli the wedding planner. She made the day absolutely perfect!The staff were amazing Venue Service By Kathryn Clarkson, on 01 Nov 2018Date of Wedding - 27 Oct 2018 If you’re thinking of getting married don’t look anywhere else just go ahead and book South Farm. Our daughter was married there on Saturday 27 October 2018. The venue is stunning! All our guests were blown away by how pretty it looked and the fantastic food! The staff were amazing, especially Alli the Event Manager. She looked after us all and went beyond our expectations! We had the perfect day at the perfect venue. Sarah and Adam’s love just shone through. They knew South Farm was their venue the first time they saw it. I didn’t want to leave the morning after the wedding just wish I could live there!! ??Thank you Venue Service By Annalisa & Matthew, on 01 Nov 2018Date of Wedding - 13 Oct 2018 Hi Becky!
