South Farm

We are beyond happy with how our special day went, and at the heart of it all were the wonderful team at South Farm. From the moment we arrived, every detail was so thoughtfully considered, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience, a week later and we are still talking about how beautiful it was!

Our wonderful events co-ordinator Emily, remained so calm, organised and one step ahead throughout the entire day. She seemed to know exactly what we needed before we had even thought of it, and the care and attention were noticed and appreciated by everyone. It was just so smoothly conducted that we both felt like guests too being guided through the day!
The venue itself was absolutely beautiful, with every little detail and finishing touch making it feel so special. The presentation was stunning, and it was clear how much thought and care had gone into creating such a wonderful and romantic atmosphere.

We also have to give a special mention to the ducks, who provided the perfect pre-ceremony entertainment and very kindly escorted us on our walk to the summer house! They played their part in making our day unique and giving us a lovely moment to smile about!

The food deserves a special mention because it was simply incredible! Everything was delicious and beautifully presented, and the guests have all mentioned! the Apple shed brunch was absolutely to die for. Even the thoughtful treats waiting for us in the bedroom made us feel so spoilt and added that extra bit of magic to the experience even when you thought it was all over! Those little details really do make all the difference and showed just how much the team cares about making the whole stay memorable.
Every member of staff was wonderful, warm and attentive, making everyone feel comfortable, relaxed and completely at ease. Nothing was ever too much to ask, and everything seemed to happen so effortlessly. We felt incredibly lucky to have found a venue that combined such a beautiful setting with a team who genuinely care about what they do.
A huge thank you to everyone at South Farm, and especially to Emily. You supported us throughout the day in such a calm, natural and effortless way that it genuinely felt as though you were part of it all with us. You made everything feel easy, allowing us to relax, enjoy every moment and take it all in, knowing we were in the very best hands.

We will look back on our wedding day with so much happiness, and South Farm will always hold a very special place in our hearts. Thank you for going above and beyond, for all the incredible food, the beautiful surroundings, the thoughtful little touches and, most importantly, for making us feel so cared for from beginning to end.
We cannot thank you all enough for helping to make our wedding day so special. We would recommend South Farm in a heartbeat!
With love and heartfelt thanks,
Mr & Mrs Barker

We had our wedding at South Farm in September and we could not be happier with our experience from start to finish. From the first time we were shown round the venue, we both knew that it was the one. Beyond the absolutely stunning setting, gorgeous ceremony spaces and not to mention cute farm animals, the care that the South Farm team put in to all of their couples and weddings was clear from that very first meeting and every interaction that followed.

Throughout the two-year run-up to our wedding day, we couldn’t have asked for more from South Farm. They were so organised at every step, and we felt that we were in completely safe hands. They also really went above and beyond to help make our day as special as possible, accommodating all of the ideas we had to make it our own, including our Italian-themed menu; dessert & cocktail hour; prosecco pong and flower crown station. This alongside answering our often long lists of questions - they never made us feel like anything was too much. Their experience meant they also had lots of great ideas and suggestions for us to consider.

Our wedding day itself was perfect. Hayley, our event manager, was absolutely wonderful on the day. She was so calm, a total professional and had absolutely everything covered from start to finish. We didn’t have to worry about anything. The same goes for the rest of the team - so many of our friends and family commented on how smoothly everything was run and how the SF team were “there but not there”, in the best possible way.

Huge huge thanks again to the whole SF team for giving us the most magical experience, and particular shoutouts to Hayley, Evie, Emily, Nikki and Christine for everything along our wedding planning journey.

South Farm is the most joyful wedding venue, and we recommend it wholeheartedly.

We planned our wedding from Amsterdam in just three months, and from our very first interactions, the team made what could have been a stressful experience feel genuinely exciting. Everyone was dedicated, responsive, flexible and wonderfully kind. We opted for one of their package offers, which was incredible value, and felt supported every step of the way. Somehow, they made wedding planning fun.

The farm itself is breathtaking. From getting ready in the luxurious Apple Shed bridal suite to exchanging our vows surrounded by the flourishing gardens and ducks behind the iconic English farmhouse, every corner felt special. South Farm has that rare quality of being both beautifully styled and full of character: romantic, welcoming and completely enchanting.

And then there was the day itself. Everything flowed seamlessly, thanks to a team of seasoned professionals who seemed to anticipate what was needed before we even had to ask. We could let go of the logistics, be fully present with the people we love, and simply enjoy every moment of our wedding.

What makes South Farm so special isn't just the beautiful setting. It's the people who bring it to life. They created the space for us to have the day we'd dreamed of, without the stress we had worried about.

If you're looking for a wedding venue with breathtaking surroundings, exceptional people and a little bit of magic, South Farm is the one.

South Farm is the most special place in the world. From the moment we first drove down the driveway we fell in love with the place and that just grew every time we visited. Not only is every space at South Farm beautiful and well thought out but every single member of staff is exceptional. Not only was the planning made so easy but so was the day. We were so relaxed and knew that every little detail was being taken care of. We had the most magical day and cannot wait to go back and visit.

Honestly, I don’t even know where to begin with this review because I have so many wonderful things to say about the incredible, talented and genuinely special team at South Farm. I only hope I can do them justice with my words.

Where do I start?

Let’s go back to August 2024, when my now-husband, Sam, and I first visited South Farm. The lovely lady who showed us around (whose name I’m so sorry I can’t remember!) spent an hour and a half taking us around the beautiful grounds and buildings that make South Farm so special.

We viewed several wedding venues, but South Farm was the only one where we truly felt that someone was interested in us. They wanted to know about our relationship, our story and what we envisioned for our wedding day. We weren’t just another couple looking to book a venue; we felt listened to, understood and genuinely welcomed from the very beginning.

It was no surprise that none of the other venues came close. We booked South Farm, and looking back now, it was one of the best decisions we could ever have made.

From the very beginning, we knew we were in safe hands.

The lead-up to our wedding was handled with such care and professionalism. The team were always approachable, responsive and happy to answer our questions. Even though we booked so far in advance, we never felt like an inconvenience or that our wedding was too far away to matter. Every question was met with kindness, and that reassurance meant so much to us.

We then had our planning meeting with the lovely Evie, who was just wonderful. She took the time to listen to our story, understand what mattered to us and really get to know the kind of day we wanted. She asked all the right questions, including things we hadn’t even thought about ourselves! She was so kind, sincere and smiley, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about helping us create our perfect day.

Then came 7th October 2026 — the best day of our lives.

From the moment we arrived, every single member of the South Farm team we encountered was exceptional. Everyone was attentive, welcoming and genuinely lovely, and nothing ever seemed too much trouble. The level of care we received was something truly special.

A very special mention has to go to our wedding coordinator, Julie, who was absolutely spot on. We genuinely couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Julie was a complete ray of sunshine!

It was so obvious that Julie had read our wedding planner meticulously because she knew every single detail. We felt completely looked after, almost as though we were royalty, and we were able to relax and enjoy our day knowing that everything was in the safest possible hands.

One thing that particularly touched us was the care Julie showed our elderly grandparents, who have limited mobility and struggled to get their own food from the buffet. She made sure they were looked after, too. That might seem like a small thing to some people, but to us, it meant the absolute world. Our wedding wasn’t just about us; it was about having the people we love most there to celebrate with us, and knowing they were cared for so thoughtfully made our day even more special.

Every little detail had been considered. And if anything didn’t go quite to plan behind the scenes, we certainly didn’t know about it! That is a testament to the professionalism, organisation and sheer talent of this team.

People told us South Farm was the “Rolls-Royce” of wedding venues. Now, we understand exactly why.

When we told people we were getting married at South Farm, we heard so many lovely comments about the venue and its reputation. I believed them, of course, and I already knew we had chosen somewhere special. But WOW, how much I underestimated just how special it would be.

South Farm is so much more than a beautiful venue. The grounds are stunning, the setting is magical, and the whole place has a warmth that is difficult to put into words. But what truly sets South Farm apart is its people.

You can have the most beautiful venue in the world, but it is the people who make the experience unforgettable. The team at South Farm are, without a doubt, second to none. Their attention to detail, genuine kindness, professionalism and passion for what they do shine through in everything. They don’t just host weddings; they make couples feel special, understood and cared for at every stage of the journey.

We also have to give a huge shout-out to DJ Gary!
We were a little stumped when it came to choosing a DJ because we weren’t entirely sure what we wanted or where to start looking. As Gary is South Farm’s resident DJ, we thought, “He must be good, right?”

Well, GOOD doesn’t even begin to cover it!

Gary was absolutely incredible. We sent over the genres we loved and the kind of music we knew would get everyone up dancing, and he took it from there. Every single song was spot on. The dance floor was where we wanted to be all night, and Gary just got it. He understood the vibe perfectly and knew exactly how to keep the energy going.

It never felt like someone simply playing a playlist; it felt like someone who genuinely knew how to bring a party together. We couldn’t have been happier with him, and we would recommend him in a heartbeat!

Finally, people often ask us, “If you could do your wedding day all over again, would you change anything?”

Honestly? Not a single thing.

South Farm exceeded every expectation we had. They took something we had dreamed about for so long and turned it into a day that we will treasure for the rest of our lives.

To the entire South Farm team, from the person who first showed us around in August 2024 to everyone who helped make our wedding day what it was: thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you for your kindness, your care, your attention to every little detail and for making us feel so special. Thank you for looking after us and our families, and for allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every second of our wedding day without a single worry.

We will never forget the way you made us feel, and we will always look back on our wedding day with the biggest smiles because of you.

If you are considering South Farm for your wedding, I honestly cannot recommend them highly enough. You are not just booking a venue; you are putting your trust in a team who genuinely care about making your day everything you dreamed it would be, and then some.

South Farm, you are truly one of a kind. We feel so incredibly lucky that we chose you, and if we could go back and do it all again, we would choose you every single time.

We had the best experience with South Farm. From helping us figure out our fusion wedding, to all the details being so well executed, we honestly had an incredible day. The staff in particular deserve a real shout out, they were all so helpful, kind, discreet and thoughtful before and on the day - one person even helped my friend with her newborn baby so she could have a hot meal! So thankful, couldn't recommend more.

South Farm is the most beautiful venue with the most amazingly friendly, helpful and experienced staff. We are over the moon with how our wedding day went. From the very first open day we visited to the day after our wedding we experienced fantastic communication and planning. The staff were super happy to help us implement our dream wedding and went above and beyond to help us with set up and packing away of our decorations. We could not recommend this venue more.

Our wedding at South Farm was perfect from start to finish. Our event manager (Hayley) was superb ensuring everything went off without a hitch. If anything did go wrong, we were and still are completely unaware. The venue is beautiful, the food was stunning and animals make it even more magical. We would highly recommend South Farm to any couples looking to tie the knot.

From the first phone call to enquire about a viewing, we were met with enthusiasm and kindness and every time we called or visited after we were treated with the same compassion, with everyone using our names and speaking to us as if they knew us personally. Needless to say, after our first viewing we didn't even look at any other venues! All queries were met with helpful responses and nothing was ever too much trouble, even some slightly odd or out of the ordinary requests. The communication throughout the build-up was outstanding, the visits and meetings all met with huge excitement for us as a couple and for our wedding. The venue began to feel 'like home' and we enjoyed every trip and visit. From tours with our respective parties, to the menu tasting and Apple Shed viewing, then dropping off items a few days before the big day, all just added to the experience.

On the day, what can I say, it ran seamlessly and with what I assume, were no hiccups! If there were any, we were not made aware of any and had the most perfect, magical day! From the moment myself and the bridesmaids arrived, everything went to plan, it was tranquil and calm. Housekeeping came when they said and delivered the extra bits I requested straight away. They were also accommodating when we popped round with the gift bags etc to distribute to rooms before the guests arrived. Helen arrived was the perfect event manager, keeping us up to date and informed of all the day's proceedings and letting us know the running of the day and where we needed to be and when. And again, met us, with the same air of enthusiasm and kindness we have grown to love from South Farm.

Our guests have all fed back to us how amazing the venue was from the setting to the food and how it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to! The photos we have from friends and family are stunning and I cannot wait until we see the professional ones.

We can't quite find enough complimentary words for you all and to express how much we enjoyed our day! And we will recommend you to anyone and everyone as it really was the most perfect day, and that is not just because of the stunning venue and delicious food etc It hugely comes down to the team and how they interact with couples and the services provided.

Thank you SO much to you and everyone at South Farm for all the hard work that went into making our wedding day completely perfect. The venue itself was beautiful of course (particular shout out to the duck family that watched the ceremony) but what really stood out to us was how completely seamless the day was. A special thank you to Helen for solving any issues long before we knew of them and making sure everyone was happy and in the right place. It is truly amazing how well-oiled the South Farm operation is. I also hugely appreciate the time and thought that went into the planning process - someone was always quick to respond to my (many) emails, and the planning day itself was so thorough that it completely put our minds at ease.

The food was also stunning, we had so many guests compliment it - several saying it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had.

We had the most perfect day and couldn’t have picked a better venue - and one that felt more “us” than South Farm. Wish we could do it all again!

Our wedding at South Farm was the most magical day. I can't recommend South Farm and the brilliant team who work there more.
From the very beginning, the South Farm team were incredibly attentive, helpful, friendly, professional and flexible - we felt supported throughout. Wedding planning didn't feel stressful with them there for us. On the day, Hayley and the team were wonderful - we felt so relaxed, calm, and in control thanks to them and didn't have to worry about anything. They worked so hard to make it the perfect day for us and the guests, and yet we barely saw any of it. True professionals.
The venue itself is a dream: the house and the barns are beautiful and make for stunning backdrops for a wonderful wedding. The gardens are out of this world: so beautiful and you really feel like you are in your own little special world for the day.
The accommodation is excellent: luxurious, comfortable and well equipped with everything you need for the best day.
The food is brilliant: local, fresh, sustainable, and delicious. All hats off to the chefs and kitchen team. All our guests said that it's the best wedding food they have ever had. And the wines and drink selection is great.

South Farm let us have the most magical day. We've been married now for four weeks and we can't stop smiling. South Farm made that happen. Thank you all so much.

We could not have asked for a better venue to host our wedding than South Farm. It was the perfect countryside farm location for our big day. Every single part of the venue is absolutely stunning and beautifully maintained, with so much character and lots of extra little touches like fairy lights which make the rooms look even prettier. Every location across the venue is guaranteed to look gorgeous no matter the season, and their ecofriendly approach to weddings makes South Farm even more outstanding.
The South Farm team are so helpful, super organised and responsive when we had any questions about the planning process. They provided us with lots of useful recommendations throughout the whole process to help us bring our wedding vision to life, helping with everything from proof-reading our invitations to checking with guests about allergies. During our planning meeting and on the big day, our event manager Nikki was an absolute rockstar! She was so much fun to have around and kept everything running like clockwork.
All of the food was incredible; a lot of it is grown on site and you can taste how fresh the ingredients are. We are also in awe of the fact that the catering team managed to cater for so many different dietary requirements without anyone having to miss out! Everyone said the food was amazing and there were definitely no hungry guests. The breakfast the day after was delicious as well and the onsite accommodation is beautifully decorated, super clean and really comfy too.
Every member of staff was so friendly and thoughtful throughout the entire day from the moment we arrived until we left after breakfast the next morning. Everyone went out of their way to make sure that we had the best time possible, down to the smallest details, like moving our memorial table outside so it was near our ceremony area and saving extra canapes for my husband and I so we didn’t miss out while taking photos. So many of our guests commented on how lovely the all the staff were and how everyone seemed to genuinely enjoy working there and were happy to talk to our family and friends. It’s clear how hard everyone works; how much they all care about South Farm and about their couples having a fantastic time.
And we couldn’t leave a South Farm review without mentioning the BABY PIGLETS!!! They are soooo adorable and we were lucky enough to be able to say hello to them! So many of our guests enjoyed walking around the venue and meeting the chickens and baby goats and donkeys and the piggies, especially the kids and the grandparents!
We have had so many family members and friends tell us it was the best wedding they have ever been to, from the venue spaces to the food to the staff and the accommodation. They are still talking about it 2 months on! It really is a one-of-a-kind venue with the most phenomenal team of people. We could not have had a more spectacular, joyful, wonderful wedding day and we can only say thank you to the whole team at South Farm for giving us the most magical wedding ever – it was all we could have hoped for and so much more and will forever hold a place in our hearts as one of the best days of our lives!

South Farm organised and ran the perfect wedding day. From the level of communication and planning beforehand, sorting everything to the finest detail, and allowing us to make adjustments as we required them, to the day itself which ran impeccably. We had nothing to think about on the day, allowing us to just be in the moment as husband and wife, celebrating with our friends and family. We want one of our friends to get married there so we can experience the magic again as soon as possible. A special shout out to our event manager Hayley who took the utmost care of us on the day, but the entire South Farm family took amazing care of us and our guests. We would recommend this venue to everyone.

Looking for a wedding venue? Look no further than South Farm.

From the moment we booked until the day after our wedding, the entire team went above and beyond to make our day absolutely perfect. Every detail was handled with care, professionalism, and genuine warmth, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment.

A special thank you goes to our incredible Events Manager, Julie, who was outstanding throughout the whole process. Her support, organisation, and attention to detail gave us complete confidence that everything would run smoothly. We'd also like to give a special mention to Claire, who beautifully set up our room and looked after breakfast the following morning. Her hard work, attention to detail, and friendly manner helped make our stay even more special and was very much appreciated.

The whole South Farm team were exceptional, and we'd like to specifically thank Julie, Claire, Deborah, Eva, Summer, Christine, Emily, and Nikki. Every interaction we had was friendly, professional, helpful, and reassuring. It was clear throughout our wedding journey that everyone genuinely cared about making our day unforgettable.

A shout-out also goes to DJ Gary, who did an amazing job. The atmosphere on the dance floor was great, and the lighting setup created the perfect party environment. Our guests were dancing all night and had an absolutely fantastic time.

South Farm is a truly magical venue with beautiful grounds, outstanding food, and an exceptional team. We have received countless compliments from our guests about how amazing the venue, staff, food, and overall experience were.

Thank you to everyone at South Farm for making our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more. We couldn't have chosen a better venue and would recommend South Farm without hesitation to any couple looking for a truly unforgettable wedding experience.

From the initial sight I fell in love with south farm as a venue. After meeting with the staff it solidified that this was the venue for us.
Their attention to detail and care is amazing.
The communication from them was great and very clear and I always felt I knew what was happening!
On the day we had Helen who was so attentive ensuring we were okay all day and grabbing anything we needed.
She ensured that the day ran on time which I was very thankful for as I had no clue what time of day it was!
She took care of not only us but all the guests during our time there.
The food was amazing and we received many compliments about the staff and food from the venue.
Thank you very much for making our day go exactly how we had envisioned.
If you want a venue that the staff love there jobs and care about everything they do I would recommend south farm!
