The Stables Wedding Farm is a rustic yet elegant outdoor wedding venue in Oldham, Greater Manchester. Set on the Slackfield farm, its 18th-century farmhouse provides an enchanting backdrop for your celebration.

With picturesque views of rolling hills, this setting is perfect for rustic and romantic weddings.
Facilities and Capacity
The Stables welcomes wedding parties of 60 to 200 guests. A festoon-lit pathway guides guests from the venue’s private, off-road parking to the main event space. This area includes a large, flat section of artificial grass, perfect for hosting your ceremony. The venue is licenced to hold civil ceremonies, allowing couples to exchange vows on this charming backdrop. The space links directly to your marquee (or marquees), which you can hire from the venue. The area also offers an open celebration space set around a heart-shaped feature pond. Here you will find artificial grass and picnic benches, creating a serene setting for drinks receptions in the sun or under the stars. The historic farmhouse is available for photography. Its traditional architecture and menagerie of animals make for spectacular wedding pictures. The venue invites couples to stay the night in their self-catering Hobbit House, which includes a private six-seater hot tub. The staff would be delighted to recommend nearby accommodation options for your guests.

The only Wedding venue you need to visit!
From the moment we stumbled across Stables Wedding Farm on Google, I knew we had to get married here!
From enquiry to wedding day and beyond, Mark and Debs have been sensational.
They have been with us through every step of planning, always eager to help. They have a beautiful 'something borrowed' catalogue which was great to look through and we used some of those things for our tables and to decorate around the venue. Mark and Debs make Stables Wedding Farm so personal to each couple, something that we didn't find when looking round other venues.
The venue is nothing short of stunning, (we were lucky enough to have a sunny day but I know it would have been gorgeous in the rain as well!) and the farm animals make great guests! The bar is well priced and had a range of great cocktails. My husband wanted a local Leicester beer which they were also able to accommodate and have in a keg at the bar.
A lovely touch was that the night before, Mark and Debs did a 'walk through' video of the venue as we'd set it up, meaning that we could see all of our efforts in a video before it was bustling with people. They were also super accommodating not only to us, but to guests regarding parking, getting a golf buggy up the hill (useful for disabled guests but also such a fun way to get up to the venue!), and to our band for getting set up before the ceilidh kicked off!
We got the venue 48 hours before our wedding, which meant we could decorate in good time to avoid any pre-wedding stress. We stayed in the Hobbit houses with the hot tub the night after, and we didn't need to clean up until late the following day, which made the day after our wedding so much easier.
If you are booking a wedding in the next few years - message Stables Wedding Farm ASAP (they are so good they're getting booked up!!) - you'll have the best day ever and you won't regret it!

Perfect day
We honestly cannot recommend The Stables Wedding Farm enough! From the very beginning, Mark and Deborah were absolutely amazing. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they made the whole experience feel so personal and special.
The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and was everything and more we could have ever asked for. It was the perfect setting for our wedding, and so many of our guests commented on how stunning the venue was.
What really makes The Stables Wedding Farm so special though is Mark and Deborah. They genuinely care about every couple and go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. They were always there to answer any questions, help with anything we needed and made the whole planning process so much easier and less stressful.
Our wedding day was honestly everything we dreamed of and more, and we will be forever grateful to Mark and Deborah for helping make it so special. We are so sad that it's all over, but we will have the most amazing memories to look back on.
If you're looking for a beautiful wedding venue with the most wonderful owners, then The Stables Wedding Farm is the perfect choice. Thank you so much, Mark and Deborah, for everything you did for us — we honestly couldn't have asked for anything more! ❤️

1st August - Beth & Tim
To the incredible team,
We are still on cloud nine after our wedding! We just wanted to say a massive, heartfelt thank you to everyone for making our wedding day absolutely unforgettable. It truly was the most amazing day from start to finish, and everything was so perfect.
A special mention must go to Mark, Deborah and Chantelle, you were all just perfect and went completely above and beyond for us since we first met 18 months ago. Along with the fantastic bar staff and the rest of the team, you made sure everything ran flawlessly.
The venue itself looked breathtaking, and our guests haven't stopped talking about the view! It is such a picturesque setting, which made our photos and the whole atmosphere feel incredibly special.
Thank you all for making our dream day a reality. We couldn’t have wished for a better place to marry! ❤️🥂
Love from Tim, Beth & Luna xxx

The best day ever!
Wow, where do we start? From the moment we arrived at the farm and met Mark and Deb, we knew Stables Wedding Farm was the place we wanted to get married. Chantelle the wedding planner was amazing, we met with her twice prior to the wedding, she was warm, organised, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. On the wedding day, everything ran amazingly well from start to finish. The natural beauty of the farm created the perfect setting, and the staff worked seamlessly behind the scenes to ensure every moment flowed perfectly.
Our guests couldn't stop complimenting the beautiful surroundings and how smoothly everything was coordinated.
We're so grateful for the incredible care and attention we received. If you're looking for a farm venue with stunning scenery and a dedicated team - especially a wedding planner who truly goes above and beyond - then this is the place for you. We had the wedding day we both dreamed of and more.
Thank you from us both for an amazing day we will never, ever forget.
Love Kate, Rachel and of course Chester xxx

Absolutely Perfect – Even in a Downpour!
We cannot say enough amazing things about our experience with Stables Wedding Farm! From the moment we booked, Mark, Debs and Chantelle were incredibly attentive, organised, and genuinely invested in making our day unforgettable. But what truly set them apart is how they went above and beyond when the weather threw us a curveball.
On the day of our wedding, the skies opened up with heavy rain—not the forecast we had hoped for. But the team handled it with absolute grace and professionalism. Without hesitation, they quickly activated rain back up plans and transformed the space into something just as magical as our original outdoor vision. They thought of everything—from extra umbrellas and covered walkways for guests who got caught in the storm.
Not once did we feel stressed or disappointed, and that is entirely thanks to this experienced and incredibly kind team. The rain didn’t take away from the beauty of the day—it added a touch of romance and fun we hadn’t expected, and the team made sure it all ran seamlessly.
Our guests are still raving about how beautiful the venue was and how smoothly everything went, despite the weather. We truly couldn’t have asked for a more supportive, thoughtful, and prepared group of people to help bring our day to life.
If you’re looking for a venue that is not only stunning but also deeply committed to your experience no matter what, look no further.
With all our gratitude,
James and Liv (The Sanders)

The Smith Wedding 23.08.25
We have recently had our wedding at Stables Wedding Farm and it was absolutely perfect. Mark, Deborah and Chantelle from start to finish worked with us every step of the way to make sure our special day was the best day of our lives. Every single first commented on how beautiful and unique the venue was- it looked incredible! Nothing was too much trouble and they went out of their way to make us feel like one of the family. Stables Wedding Farm and the full team will forever hold a special place in our hearts and we will be eternally grateful for all the love and support we received as we became Mr and Mrs Smith!

No amount of words would be enough for this venue.
I don’t even know where to start with this except Mark and Debbie are the most incredible people we have ever met.
No job was big enough for them from the second we met them. We went to a few venues and it felt so impersonal but within seconds of meeting them we already knew they were the venue for us, not only for them as people but the most breathtaking venue we have ever seen.
Every single person involved with the stables wedding farm made us feel like we were the most important wedding ever. From Chantelle who was a power house to the bar staff and the buggie driver who did not stop working hard all day.
It really was the most perfect wedding and that’s because of this venue!

Absolutely unreal. Perfect in every sense of the word.
Debbie and Mark are the BEST. They are INCREDIBLY friendly, personable and go the extra mile. Chantelle is out of this world- incredibly organised and so kind. The staff at the venue- bar staff, golf buggy drivers and sheep are just the best. All of our guests commented on how brilliant everyone was. Some southerners even want to move north now!!!!! The venue is gorgeous. The attention to detail is exceptional. There are not enough adjectives to describe how special our day was. It meant the world to us that our wedding was in Saddleworth and the views are to die for. It was the best day of our lives and we wish we could do it all over again. We truly cannot thank everyone at the Stables enough and highly highly recommend the venue, as do all of our 145 guests!!! THANK YOU!

Amazing wedding at stables wedding farm
We had an amazing experience with Mark and Deb on our wedding day, the planing was great. We paid corkage for our wine and table prosecco, anything we did use was returned to us (surprisingly!) we used their recommended vendors for our main meal - C&C catering and it was really good, we also used their recommended JP Photobooths for some late night photo booth pictures and they were amazing! We even used thier recommended photographer Theo, and he’d been to the venue many times so that was also seamless! Everything was really relaxed and they have an onsite shed with loads of decorations that you can rent or use - not that the venue needed much in terms of decorations, the views were amazing and even though it wasn’t hot hot it didn’t rain and it was plenty warm in the marquee! The staff on the bar were so good too, we asked for certain wines and beers too, and spicy margs and espresso martinis and they were very good! Guests used the golf buggy to get to and from their taxis and that was an experience haha! We stayed on site with 2 other bridesmaids and used their hobbit huts and hot tubs too. It was seamless and stress free! And we did a fair few pre meetings up there so we got to see all their animals (bonus for our little baby girl). They really take care of you and communication is great!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
