A FEW WORDS...

Thank Yous

 

We love it when our clients send us feedback, it makes all the effort so worthwhile for our staff and owners alike. Reputations are hard to forge and easy to lose. We are delighted that now, in our eighteenth year, nearly half of our enquiries are by word of mouth.

Rochelle and Tom  , 14th December 2023

We're still basking in the glow of what can only be described as the best and most magical day of our lives. From the very first moment we stepped foot on the grounds to the last dance of the evening, our experience at South Farm was nothing short of phenomenal.  

 We would like to extend our gratitude to a few exceptional individuals who played crucial roles in crafting our unforgettable celebration: 

Our journey with South Farm began with a warm welcome from Summer, the first friendly face we encountered during our initial visit. After our appointment, we looked at each other in the car, and without uttering a word, we both knew this was the venue of our dreams.

Emily, who conducted our planning meeting, deserves special mention for putting our minds at ease and building excitement for our big day. Her meticulous attention to detail and responsiveness to our queries laid the foundation for the remarkable experience that followed.  

 A heartfelt thank you to Nikki, our Event Manager, whose exceptional efforts left us in awe. Nikki's genuine care and impeccable timekeeping ensured our day unfolded flawlessly. Her commitment to ensuring every aspect of the celebration ran seamlessly contributed immensely to the overall success of our special day.  

You Christine, and Evie, always so helpful and responsive over email, making our planning process seamless. No query was too big or small for you, and your dedication to ensuring our vision came to life did not go unnoticed.

Finally, the incredibly talented chefs deserve accolades for the amazing spread they prepared. We received countless compliments from our guests, with some declaring it the best wedding food they've ever tasted. Considering we've got quite a fussy eaters in our family – not a single complaint was heard!

South Farm has etched itself forever in our hearts, thanks to the collective efforts of every staff member involved in making our day perfect. From the warm greetings from the housekeeping team when I first arrived, to the attentive care throughout the day, everyone at South Farm went above and beyond to ensure not only our happiness but also that of our families, friends, and suppliers.

We wholeheartedly recommend South Farm  😊 

Tracy - TME Photography Herts, 13th December 2023

My heartiest thanks to you and the entire South Farm team for welcoming me with open arms at Heather and Ross’ wedding on 13th December. I was truly touched by your hospitality and the genuine warmth throughout the entire experience. 

Every interaction I had with the South Farm staff was marked by impeccable manners, genuine smiles, and a willingness to go above and beyond to make my visit memorable. Their enthusiasm and passion for South Farm were infectious, and their dedication to providing exceptional hospitality was truly remarkable. 

These gestures, coupled with the overall warmth and care extended to all guests, created an atmosphere of genuine hospitality that left a lasting impression. 

Thank you again for extending your warm welcome and for creating such a special experience for me. I will be sure to cherish the memories of my time at South Farm and will highly recommend you to others. 

With utmost appreciation, 

 

Yasmine & Steve, 5th December 2023

Everything went so smoothly & looked beautiful. We have already recommended you to loads of people! We have to come back and visit at one of your events! Until then xx 

 

Emma & Charlie, 4th December 2023

Thank you so much from us both for all that you did for making our wedding day such a success! The whole planning process was so enjoyable, we have enjoyed coming in for the meeting, seeing the beautiful venue again and saying hi to everybody. 

The decorations, the food (shout out to the kitchen) the smooth running of the day… was all fantastic and we are so grateful. 

Thank you Nikki for managing us all so fabulously - mostly keeping the boys on track!. It was really a surprise to see the bubbles back in the room later on. 

Thank you so much for all that you did!  

Nicole & Kayleigh, 11th November 2023

We are writing to express our deepest gratitude for the extraordinary efforts and impeccable execution that made our wedding day an absolute dream. From the outset, the vision we had for our special day was not only realised but exceeded by your dedicated and talented team. 

Every detail, no matter how small, was executed with precision, and we couldn't be more appreciative. Our guests and family had an incredible time and felt exceptionally well taken care of. We are confident that our wedding day will be a topic of conversation for many years to come. 

We want to extend our special thanks to Michelle, who played an integral role in ensuring the smooth flow of events. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and warm character put us at ease throughout the entire process. Michelle went above and beyond to meet our needs, calming our nerves and ensuring that every moment was perfect. We believe her outstanding contributions deserve recognition, and we would like to express our gratitude personally. 

A heartfelt thank you is also due to the talented chefs who delighted our guests with the delicious pies. The food was not only a highlight but also became a talking point among our guests. We appreciate your flexibility and willingness to adapt to our preferences, making the dining experience truly special. 

The entire team, from planning meetings to the execution on the big day, made sure that everything ran seamlessly. The picturesque grounds, beautifully set tables, enchanting lights, and overall ambiance created an atmosphere that can only be described as perfect. Our wedding day was flawlessly executed, and everyone went above and beyond to make it truly magical. 

We can't thank you enough for your hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence. South Farm will always hold a special place in our hearts for making our day not just memorable, but simply perfect.

We would like to thank ALL OF YOU! Every single of one of you have been amazing since the start, all communications were great and made our life so much easier. Everyone is so friendly and helpful, even our guests love you all!  

Thank you to your kitchen team because everything was fantastic and delicious😊 A very special thank you to Hayley as well, the day was very smooth and she fed us really well!! We love her so much when we saw her bringing us a drink or a plate of food!! 

South Farm was the first and only venue we have been to and we knew we have made the right choice. We wouldn’t have this amazing wedding without you guys! 

Thank you once again :) 

 

Rich & Megs, 6th November 2023

Dear Helen and the whole team at South Farm 

What can we say … you have been amazing from start to finish and helped us create a magical day which we never wanted to end. Your helpfulness, kindness and meticulous planning and communication left us relatively stress-free throughout the whole planning phase. The staff on the day were incredible and so many guests commented on how friendly and conscientious they were. 

South Farm will always hold a special place in our hearts. 

With love Rich & Megs 

 

Emily & Owen, 5th November 2023

We wanted to say a massive thank you for making our day so special. We had so much fun and couldn’t have hoped for a better wedding day or smoother running of affairs.  

Michelle was utterly wonderful and made us feel very relaxed and reassured whilst also bringing a really positive and fun energy. The food was incredible, as many of our guests commented on the day. We absolutely loved the dessert with the pistachio ice cream (thank you!) and also really appreciated how your chefs’ accommodated dietaries without compromising on the flavour or quality of the food.  

Whilst South Farm is a stunning venue in itself, it was great to be able to relax knowing we were in the hands of true professionals; it’s clear all staff work hard to ensure everyone having a good time and we can’t thank you enough! 

Reverend P. Spillett, 25th October 2023

Dear Nikki and the whole team at South Farm,

South Farm Wedding Venue more than lived up to expectations for our Grand-Daughter´s wedding! The beautiful grounds, so well maintained, were a joy to walk around with our younger Grandchildren, showing them the pigs/piglets, sheep too, and the ponds, providing also a fantastic settings for copious photos of the happy couple, family and friends. Now the professional photos are available, I am in awe of the Gardening teams attention to detail, hard work, and skills. The Parrot suite was amazing, reminding us of the wild parrots flying in and around our village, The high standards of the House staff could not be faulted in anyway, not that we would, no, everything and more made our stay comfortable, thank you all so much! As for the wedding, the ceremony, every aspect prepared to a superb and thoughtful standard. The celebratory meal after was brilliant, as a coeliac I was amazed at the person centred attention - ensuring no cross-contamination in my Gluten Free dietary needs, this, for me, does not happen often when away from home, and, for once, I was able to relax and eat with confidence indeed! The Catering team are a credit to South Farm, and staff attending behind the scenes and front, I could see from the top table, all family and friends were enjoying the very high standards reached, not only for the celebratory meal, the evening one too, the Paella was in the class A plus plus!! With-out exception all staff around the grounds, and with-in each area inside the Venue, were so friendly, we felt like living the dream! Our Grand-Daughter and Grand-Son certainly could not have surpassed South Farm when selecting their wedding venue, no, not for many miles!! From our hearts to each of you at South Farm, thank you very much indeed for all your amazing care to detail, hard work and setting such high standards! A truly remarkable Venue, a superb experience and now a memory we shall never forget. I highly recommend South Farm. 

Grace & Ethan, 10th October 2023

Thank you so much to all the team especially to Evie our co-ordinator on the day! We had the most amazing day and several guests said how amazing all the staff and space was. All the food on the day was also fantastic! It was such a perfect day we had the best time as did all the guests! Huge thank you to Evie for all the help and for keeping the day running smoothly! 

 

Courtney & Ryan, 4th October 2023

Thank you so much for making our wedding day so special. We literally could not have asked for any more. You are all amazing! 

 

Suzie & Dan, 29th September 2023

Dan and I just wanted to send a quick email to say thank you so much for making our wedding day run so smoothly – everyone we’ve spoken to said that it was a gorgeous venue, and they all commented that it was the best wedding food they’d ever had.  To be honest, the marinated beef was the talk of the night????
Helen did a fantastic job of quietly and calmly ensuring that everyone was where they needed to be at the right time – always available if we needed her, but never intrusive. The same applies to all the South Farm staff – it’s really impressive how everyone just quietly comes in to do their role, and disappears again without intruding. An incredibly professional but personal team!
Basically it was the most perfect day, and even the weather played ball
Thank you all again

Emma & Jack, 20th September 2023

I would like to thank you and your team for making Emma and Jack's wedding so perfect. Evie was absolutely incredible and ensured we had everything we could possibly need. Her organisational skills were second to none and she kept us very calm.
Everyone said South Farm was so beautiful and they couldn't get over the food, they all said it was the best food at a wedding they had ever had.
A big thank you from us!

Chloe & Cody, 18th September 2023

South Farm was the perfect venue for our special day. When we saw it the first time we knew it felt right - not only was it the undeniable beauty of the venue itself but it was the feeling we got from every single person working at South Farm. The team made us feel so at ease, were friendly and professional and attention to detail was second to none. We can’t thank you all enough South Farm

Mr & Mrs Perella-Askew, 16th September 2023

We just wanted to say the biggest thank you to Michelle for Saturday. It really was the best day of our lives. We are sooooo grateful for everything you did. You were always there, one step ahead with everything you thought we would need. The day ran so well and all our guests commented on what an amazing venue it was and how it was just the most fun from start to finish. Thank you as well for being so thoughtful with Megs, my parents are so grateful. Think my mum tried to message South Farm on Instagram to say a thanks to you.  The food was absolutely delicious. Just so happy with everything and we can't stop thinking about it.

Zoe & Neil, 14th September 2023

Thank you so much for everything you did before and on our wedding day, the whole team is amazing and everyone helped to make our day magical, we will never be able to thank you enough, the day was perfect and the memories will last a lifetime 
 

Tom & Sarah, 4th September 2023

We just wanted to say a huge huge thank you for making our day so special.
Helen you were fantastic, everything ran so smoothly and we were particularly thankful for the canapés and ice cream on such a hot day! Thank you
Thank you to everyone else at South Farm who has made our planning, set up, and day so much fun.  From Emily answering every email to Helen, Claire & Sue on the day, the Paxman family, and everyone else in between.
The wedding breakfast & all the food was incredible! A big thank you to the catering team.
Our guests did not stop telling us how perfect & pretty the venue was, how it was the best wedding food they had ever had and how amazing and friendly the staff were. We can’t thank you all enough.

Jess & Kane - Videographers, 2nd September 2023

We recently had the pleasure of filming Hope & Alister’s wedding at your beautiful property – I’m sure you know the story and we were drafted in last minute, but we were never made to feel like that! As soon as we arrived at South Farm, we were greeted with smiles and made to feel part of the team/gang/family and we wanted to say thank you for that.
The property itself is absolutely stunning but a huge thank you to the fabulous Hayley for keeping us up to date on everything that was happening throughout the day, making sure we were fed and watered and ensuring we were happy and having a good time – and we weren’t even guests at the wedding! It was very clear to us that the team at South Farm love weddings and love their job roles and it was an absolute joy to work with all of you along with the very talented Bea!
Thank you for the most wonderful day, and hopefully we will see you all again soon!
Jess & Kane xx

Sophie & Amir, 30th August 2023

We would like to say a massive thank you to each and everyone of you from when we first looked at the venue up till the minute we left this morning. You have all been amazing nothing was too much! I would like to say a bigger thank you to Evie she was absolutely amazing. Everything was on point she made both myself and Amir feel stress free and at ease immediately. She was brilliant with each and everyone that attended. Our compliments to the chefs and the people serving the food there was so many compliments and it was amazing. You all made the day perfect and we wouldn’t have had it any other way.
Thank you all again

Sophie & Matt, 18th August 2023

We cannot honestly thank you enough for our amazing wedding on Friday.
Everything was what we had hoped for and more.
I know you can’t control the weather but even that played ball just in time too!! I was so determined to have the ceremony outside and it didn’t disappoint!
Our own expectations and of our guests were far exceeded! Everything ran smoothly from start to finish and the food was so very delicious and left our guests wondering how the kitchen was able to deliver so many plates and the quality and temperature be perfect; so please pass this onto chef and team.
Helen you were simply awesome, so super helpful, patient and everything I needed and more!
Everyone left, including ourselves, totally in awe and very happy.
All those involved in various changes and admin were always helpful, polite and accommodating.
It was very clear how cohesive you all are as a team and this is another part of what makes South Farm so special!

Fran & Mat, 16th August 2023

On behalf on Mat and I, we just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and your team. We couldn’t have wished for a more perfect day - everything ran smoothly and from start to finish,it was amazing.
Can we give a huge shout-out to Hayley who looked after us and our guests amazingly on the day. She was as cool as a cucumber and conducted herself in a really professional manner, at the same time as making us feel at ease-hard to do when nerves are running high!
Another huge thank you to the kitchen team. We had so many compliments passed on  about the food - everyone savoured every mouthful and everything we ate was delicious.
Again, thank you all so much for making our day so perfect in every way.

Anna & Chris, 5th August 2023

We just wanted to say a massive thank you to all of the team at South Farm, especially Hayley for making our wedding yesterday so incredibly perfect. The day was absolutely faultless, it ran so smoothly and it was all down to you guys. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day and we received so many compliments about how kind, caring, helpful and professional all of the staff were. Everyone was so attentive and happy to help. We would recommend you all 1000 times over to anyone. The food was incredible so a huge thank you to the kitchen team too! This is the best wedding venue ever! Huge thank you again, it was everything we could have ever dreamed of and more.

Will & Jenni, 2nd August 2023

We just wanted to extend a massive THANK YOU for all of your help and support on our wedding day and in the lead up to it! We are so appreciative of everything you guys did for us. A massive highlight of wedding planning for us was the menu tasting and all of our guests commented how fantastic the food was! It really is outstanding!
We could not have imagined a more perfect venue to be married - everything was perfectly done and it really is the most magical and beautiful place. We were blown away with all of the staff's kindness and helpfulness to us - everyone we encountered made us feel so incredibly special.
In particular, we would like to send a special thank you to Hayley. She is a super woman! Hayley was amazing on the day and she did everything to take all of the pressure off us both and as a result we didn't have to worry about anything! Because of her we were able to enjoy the day to its fullest and she made it absolutely perfect! We cannot thank her enough for everything she did.
We would also like to send a big thank you to Phillip. Not only was he extremely warm and welcoming to us and all of our guests, but we are especially grateful to him for his friendliness towards Will's mum Sally. She was absolutely thrilled with her dried alliums and vegetable trug. It means so much that you made her time at South farm so relaxing and happy for her. She truly had the best time and we really appreciate you doing that for her.

Jess & Dan, 28th July 2023

We cannot thank you enough for helping us to have the most perfect day. Throughout our whole wedding planning process the one thing we never doubted was the venue !
On the day Helen made sure it ran like a military operation and catered to all our requests – like making a cheese less pizza for the groomsmen!
She offered advice and listened to us without ever rushing us and ensured we were always happy!
Our guests said the food was the best wedding food and steak they’d ever eaten and our groomsmen were sad there were no left overs for polishing off as a result! Aside from the food all our guests were so blown away by the amazing grounds and of course loved the pigs! We couldn’t have asked for anything more. It was utterly perfect!
Thank you

Charlie & Dom, 17th June 2023

Thank you so much for being the best wedding venue ever! We fell in love the spaces immediately and we’re still in love with it now!
We’re desperate for a reason to return! Particularly for some more of your amazing food.
Everything seemed to flow so smoothly and felt so calm and magical. We truly had the best day ever! Thank you Emily for coordinating our day- you were fabulous. Everything was fab.
Love and thanks

Kelly & Martin, 9th June 2023

Before we go away on our honeymoon we just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for making our wedding as perfect as it was on Friday (9 June).
From the moment we visited South Farm we knew it was the one and we could not have picked a more perfect wedding venue for our special day.
All the staff have been incredible from the get go but we would like to give a special thanks to:


 Jane, our event manager on the day. Your diligence and professionalism was second to none and you made us feel at ease from the outset. Nothing was a problem and everything ran as perfectly as it could.
The kitchen team. Wow!!! The food was absolutely incredible. We have had so many compliments about it from our guests!! We had a lot of dietary requirements but nothing was too big or a problem and our gluten free guests have even said this was the best gluten free food they had ever had at an event - they were blown away with it!
The waiting staff and bar team. Your team were such a credit to you. It was an extremely hot day and they worked tirelessly throughout making sure everyone was topped up with drinks and taking great care of our guests. They were all so friendly and thoughtful - really looking out for us - thank you.
The groundskeepers - the venue looked absolutely beautiful on the day and perfectly maintained.
The cleaning crew. The place is always spotless and whenever we have visited prior to our day the cleaning crew have always been so friendly and thoughtful, answering any questions and letting us have a look in rooms around them as they work. What a special team you have.
Emily for planning the day with us in January and running through our planner. You were fabulous!!
The wonderful smiley lady that runs and leads the breakfast who we have seen on many occasion (and have never quite caught her name). We've visited on a few occasions and she has always been exactly the same, happy, kind and helpful! She really looked after us the morning after our wedding and we are beyond grateful.

I am sure we have missed off more but honestly we are just so happy and still on such a wedding high!
We feel very sad we now don't have a reason to visit again haha!

Mr & Mrs Hench, 3rd June 2023

We had an absolutely incredible day and we are still on our cloud 9 bubble from this!
I’m sure you hear many brides and grooms say they had the perfect day, but with everyone at South Farms help it really was a little slice of perfection!
Leading up to the wedding Erica has been absolutely amazing! She is an absolute credit to south farm! During our planning meeting she helped us both feel so at ease and really helped us feel that south farm had our day under control! She even made sure to put special measures in place for my grandma which my entire family noticed and appreciated, thank you so much!
I (very silly of me) didn’t catch the lovely lady’s name who was cleaning the bridal suite, but, she was so lovely and kind on arrival and the next morning was so excited to hear how our day went which was lovely!
All of the lovely waiting staff were fantastic!! My granny was very impressed that when they cleared all the plates it was so quiet and seem less! We cannot thank you all enough as well as your fantastic bar staff who would have worked a long day to help us have our perfect day!! ????????
As for Michelle, if I could thank her every day for the rest of my life it wouldn’t be enough!! She was incredible on the day! She was 5 steps ahead of everyone, even my mum which can be a tricky job to do! Our day ran without fault down to her! Her calm and laid back attitude deffinatly helped me when I began to feel anxious over certain points in the day. She was always there with a calming voice saying that she had already sorted it and everything was in place! If you could please pass on mine and Hugo’s thanks to her! She was a fantastic wedding planner and she helped our perfect day come to life! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!!
Thank you to everyone at south farm! You really did make our wedding dreams come true!!

Hannah & Sam, 1st June 2023

Firstly, thank you SO much for yesterday to all the team at South Farm.
Everything was perfect and we loved every minute of it. The guests have all been telling us how amazing they thought the food was. Helen was wonderful and everything ran seamlessly.

Chloe & David, 27th May 2023

The last couple of days have been a total whirlwind but we'd been meaning to write an email to say a HUGE thank you to all the staff at South Farm for the most wonderful day.
I don't think we can put in to words how truly amazing it was. Everything ran exactly to plan and it was just the perfect wedding day.
We can't speak highly enough of everyone working at South Farm. From the first time we looked around the venue to the morning after the wedding, everyone has been fantastic. Michelle and Evie on the day ensured everything was taken care of, even things we hadn't thought of, and importantly kept us topped up with drinks throughout our busy day. Lots of our guests have commented on how attentive the staff were and how the meal service was seamless even though we had a meal choice. The food was all absolutely delicious!
The band we employed also wanted me to pass on their thanks to Michelle and the team who they said were legends. ☺️
Sadly one of our guests was taken ill after the meal, but the staff dealt with it very professionally. She was well looked after and medical assistance was called for her. We're grateful for this.

Jennifer & Matthew, 18th May 2023

You gave our daughter Jen & new son-in-law Matt the most amazing wedding day. The whole day was perfect in every way. Thank you so much

Emily & Ben, 13th May 2023

South Farm was the most perfect wedding venue, it's absolutely stunning rain or shine, 24/7 365! We had the most wonderful day filled with laughter and fun and everything flowed so smoothly and effortlessly, it was so lovely to not have to worry about anything. The food was just incredible as well, we had the fusion feast and I'm going to have to convince some more friends to get married at South Farm so I can have it again as it was all so delicious. All our guests commented on how great the venue, the staff and the food were. Particular thank you to James who looked after us all day and made sure everything ran smoothly!
We had DJ Gary in the evening who kept everyone dancing all night, the dance floor was full from the first dance to midnight and we barely left the dance floor as the music was just so great!
It was everything we had hoped it would be and more????

Jean Barcock, Guest, 28th April 2023

To the staff at South Farm
A big thank you to you all for your help to me at Leanne and Davids wedding
All of you went the extra mile, being kind and considerate to me in my weakness (heart problems). Providing me with glasses of water, offers of a blanket  (I was chilled from time outside), checking regularly on my wellbeing, escorting me to my seat at the table and getting food for me. Thus I wanted to write and thank you all.
It was a great blessing to me to be able to be able to attend and share Leanne & Davids celebration which was made possible by your care and support. Keep up the good work

Mr & Mrs Holland, 21st April 2023

We would like to thank you for making our day more perfect than we could have even imagined it ever being. From start to finish all your staff were so attentive, nice and professional and kept the day flowing beautifully. A big shout out to Helen for making the experience entirely stress free, we never felt stressed or rushed and were able to just enjoy the day. Thank you Helen and the rest of the team for all you did we had the best day.

Mark & Diane Saxton, 12th April 2023

We just wanted to say a huge Thank You to all the team and staff at South Farm for making Alice and Jordans wedding on the 12th April so very special.
From the first visit right through until we left the day after, everyone was so helpful and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. So many guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to and we felt exactly the same ourselves.
The venue is just so stunning inside and outside so the weather didn't spoil anything about the day.
Thanks again to you all.

Joe & Celia, 1st April 2023

Firstly, we just wanted to say thank you again. The day was really special, well-run and the food was delicious. All our guests had a lovely time and we’ve had comments that it was the best wedding people had been to (which is down to you guys!). It was our photographer’s first time at the venue and she also commented how well thought out everything is at South Farm. Please pass our particular thanks to Michelle who was a real star as event coordinator on the day!!

Adam and Sarah, 20th March 2023

I just wanted to thank everyone so much at South Farm for making our wedding so perfect.
Helen was fantastic at keeping everything on track without us ever feeling rushed.
There was a small panic in the morning that we might not be able to get married outside but you were so accommodating and set everything up so quickly just in case the registrar said yes. And she did! First outdoor wedding in Cambridgeshire this year, lucky we had a fabulous Icelandic registrar!
The grounds were stunning, as were all the event rooms and the accommodation, everyone has said it’s slightly bittersweet that it was such an amazing day but we can’t come back and experience the food etc.
And the food! What can I say other than it was impeccable, the canapés were delicious and everyone loved the fact they could have multiple choices for dinner, and could go up again!
My coeliac Auntie was so excited that she even got to have a baguette in the evening.
Our bartender (I’m so sorry I never got his name, he had dark hair and was maybe 30?)
He was serving us at dinner as well. He was brilliant, incredibly friendly, even checked he was making drinks to peoples liking!
Everyone working during our day were incredible, the few I spoke to were extremely helpful and attentive.
I think I’m running out of adjectives to describe how wonderful you all are, but everyone has had something nice to say about South Farm and most of the comments have been all different things people noticed or experienced.
All I can say is I could never understand why people would want to renew their vows but after our day at South Farm I’m sure it’s something we will be back to do!
Thank you all so much.

Felicity & Joe, 17th March 2023

I had the great pleasure of coming to South Farm for the wedding of my daughter (Felicity) and her now husband, Joe.
The wedding was held on March 17th & I would like to ask you to please pass on my thanks to everybody involved on the day. Everything was amazing! I would like to highlight the food in particular. This was by far the best food I have ever had at a wedding. In fact, it was probably one of the best meals I've had anywhere! Many others have made the same comments to me. Please pass on my sincere thanks to the chef(s) on that day and, of course, everyone else.

Stacey & Saul, 12th March 2023

South Farm is a great venue for Jewish weddings. Every one of our guests commented on what an amazing stunning venue it is and how it’s so different to the normal (London hotels) venues of most Jewish weddings.

We always knew we wanted something different and we could not be happier that we found South Farm.

It really is distinctly unique. And a special venue and will forever be special to Stacey and I now.

And not just the scenery and animals and the barns - the people as well. Everyone of you!!

 

Tanya & Oliver, 14th February 2023

I just want to say a massive, huge thank you for our wedding with you. It was just incredible from start to finish and surpassed our expectations by far! I knew when we first visited the farm that it was the place for us. The relaxed, homely atmosphere (alongside the wonderful aesthetic)  made us instantly fall in love. I didn’t, however, realise just how perfect our day would end up being.
I want to give an individual thank you to Hayley, who is clearly very passionate about her job and was just absolutely incredible. Nothing was too much effort for her, she took complete control of the day and we didn’t need to worry about anything! Honestly, I can’t thank her enough. She’s an absolute asset to you ☺️
From the little touches of the girls touching up my train and telling me I looked beautiful to someone always making sure I had a drink! It was just perfection and easily goes down as one of the best days of our lives.
All of our guests have absolutely raved about the venue,  staff and the unbelievable food (I believe you had enquiries from some of them ????) and many are still talking about it now!
Thank you for giving us the best possible start to married life. I’m just so happy we chose you and so sad it’s all over!


Charlotte & Andrew, 12th February 2023

The day was everything we had hoped for and more.
All our guests had a great time and they all commented on how beautiful the venue looked and how amazing the food was.
We have nothing but good feedback to give. It was so helpful having Hayley with us for the whole day, making the day run as smoothly as possible and allowing us to enjoy our special day. Also, having the wedding planning document with timings well in advance of the day helped us to understand how to day would work and so useful to share with the wedding party.  The food tasting was another particular highlight, allowing us to sample all the food on offer rather than having to choose blindly from the menu. Everyone at the event was extremely helpful and everyone was extremely accomodating when we asked about customising the starters. We are so grateful to everyone at South Farm for all the efforts on the day and leading up to it

Amelia & Jack, 21st January 2023

Thanks to everyone at South Farm for making our wedding day so amazing.
Thank you to Emily for getting all the details set into stone and for putting up with all the questions and awkward requests.
Thank you to Hayley for making the day run so smoothly and for keeping us in the loop at all times and for looking after us so well. Once I saw you had it in hand I wasn’t stressed at all.
Thank you to the chefs, waiting staff, cleaners and gardeners, everything you guys do makes the venue what it is. A truly amazing venue.
Everyone said how much they enjoyed it, and we think there were a few girlfriends giving hints!
Thank you all so much. Amelia & Jack

Andy & Holly, 31st December 2022

A HUGE THANK YOU for our incredible wedding on NYE 2022!!!! I cant actually get over what an awesome night it was and this is basically all down to the incredible organisation of you all.  We were so lucky to find you and wish you all the continued success of your wonderful business.
THANK YOU SO MUCH….
With all our love and so many thanks
Andy and Holly

Amelia & Jonathon, 9th December 2022

We just wanted to say thank you very much for making our wedding day so special. We really did have the most magical day – everything was perfect – all of our guests said how amazing the service was and everyone loved the food .
The sun even came out for us in December so we couldn’t have asked for anything more !
Special thanks to Helen for keeping everyone organised on the day and to Erica for her help in the lead up.

Mr & Mrs Wilkinson, 2nd December 2022

Firstly we would like to thank you ALL so so much for making our day so special.

We would also like to give individual thanks to:

Michelle for showing us around SF back in October 2020 and for all of your help from then onwards.
Emily for holding our planning meeting, helping us with ideas and going through every bit of detail to make sure we knew exactly where we were at with everything.
Helen for being our Event Manager on the day, you were absolutely amazing and we can’t thank you enough for all your help throughout our whole wedding day. We felt so relaxed and didn’t have to worry about a thing! You nailed it ????
Claire for greeting me and my bridesmaids in the morning, making us tea, coffee and answering all my random questions!
To the staff who got the Bridal suite ready nice and early so we could have a chilled morning while we got ready - that really helped the girls! We felt very relaxed and didn’t have to rush as we had plenty of time.
To all of the office staff for dealing with our questions, helping us finalise our planner and everything else over the last 2 years. We are very grateful for all the time and effort you put in to help us.
To all of the bar staff, chefs, catering staff, background staff, gardeners, front of house, every single one of you involved on the day - you honestly gave us the best day ever!! We haven’t got one single thing to complain about, we are so so happy with everything. The service was spot on, the food was incredible (could eat it everyday), the grounds are so beautiful, SF is amazing, the whole day was the most relaxed and fun day we could have asked for! We didn’t have to ask for anything. You all went above and beyond and we are truly so grateful.
And finally DJ Gary, a massive thank you for your fab set - we danced the night away with our family and friends - everyone was happy with the music and enjoyed themselves! You played exactly what we wanted and we would highly recommend you!!

We really can’t thank the team at SF enough, we appreciate you all and the effort that went into our special day. We are now hoping some friends or family members might get married at SF so we can come again ????!! You guys are the best and deserve all of your awards!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!! ❤️

 

 

Kirsty & Alan, 28th November 2022

I wanted to write an email to express our gratitude for helping organise and ensuring the best day of mine and Kirsty's lives.

The day couldn't have gone any better, the weather, the food, the venue. It was an utterly perfect day for us both and our families and I want to extend my gratitude to Hayley.

She was an absolute star and helped make sure the day went smoothly and was AMAZING. The chefs, the bar stuff, the house keepers, were all amazing and it is clear from every guest who commented on the amazing staff and venue.

I couldn't recommend South Farm more highly and a good friend who attended said that they will be looking at available dates for their wedding. Thank you all for making our most special day, as perfect as we could have ever have hoped.

Please extend our gratitude and comments to all of the team.

 

Sarah & Dan, 19th November 2022

Dan and I would like to say a big thank you for making our day so special on Saturday.

A few highlights of what made it so special and it starts with the wonderful Summer. Summer has always been so attentive, helpful but also so friendly and happy for us that she was truly like a guest (in my eyes) than our event manager! And I mean that in a she just felt part of the party as we bonded, not that she acted like a guest haha ????

The bridal entrance was smooth, the confetti shot, the group photo! The transition to the wedding breakfast, speeches and lastly the sparkler shot! At no point in the day was I worrying about the timeline of the day and at no point was anything missing! The waiting staff and the staff servicing the bedrooms were the kindest and so helpful. The food was absolutely delicious, we received so many compliments about how tasty and well put together the dishes were! Breakfast was also yummy and whoever set the horse barn up for breakfast, it was super cute and such a nice touch!

The grounds of South Farm are simply beautiful and we are so happy that we got to have our wedding there! Thank you so so so much!

Jennifer & Duncan, 14th November 2022

We just wanted to take the opportunity to say a huge thank you to the team at South Farm for the best wedding day we could have dreamed of on Monday 14th November 2022.

Firstly to the organisation team who always responded to our emails within a day. We felt reassured that the team knew what they were doing and had our best interests.

Thank you to the operation staff behind the scenes. The venue, bedrooms and gardens were so clean and beautifully maintained. It was lovely that everyone said hello during our visits and on the day. And the lovely chatty lady at breakfast who made sure no one went home hungry.

Thank you to the kitchen and front of house staff who produced wonderful food and drinks. So many guests commented on the taste and presentation. Also thank you for accommodating our dietary needs in an understanding way.

Finally a huge thank you to Hayley (whom everyone including my mother got confused with being me as we look alike and our mannerisms also similar, so I am told).

Hayley gave our first show round on the open day in January 2022. It was useful to walk around the venue and learn about the order of the day and the options available to us. Her warm and honest approach meant we booked literally the following day.

On the day of the wedding she was so calm and unflustered. Nothing was too much trouble. Many relatives commented on her professional approach and appreciative of her guidance throughout the day.

Our Yorkshire terrier Rosie was cared for like a princess, kept warm by the fire. Hayley even dried my toes with a hair dryer after walking across the damp grass for our photos.

We are forever grateful to Hayley, the rest of the team and all the recommended suppliers we used (Izzy Wild, DJ Gary, Julie Cambridge and Jon Spanyol).

Mr & Mrs Anderson, 14th October 2022

We just wanted to send an email to thank you for making Friday the best day of our lives.
From the first ever meeting we had with Michelle, we knew that this venue was something special, and that this was where we wanted to get married.
Following on from that first meeting, the support we have had from Erica at our planning meeting, Emily for the administration (and helping me sort out the favours!) and an extra huge thank you to Helen for being the most amazing coordinator. She was so professional, yet warm and friendly - she made sure everything ran smoothly and kept us in check when we were running behind schedule which was hugely appreciated, as I seemed to lose all concept of time on the day!
The hospitality team did an amazing job in turning the rooms around so quickly, you run a very tight ship! The chefs food was incredible, and it was a pleasure to thank them personally the next morning. The grounds looked amazing, the gardeners and team that care for the animals are unsung heroes, as we wouldn’t have such beautiful photos without their hard work. All of our guests said that the waiters and waitresses were so helpful and prompt, and I have had so many messages saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to. The breakfast in the morning was very appreciated after a few drinks the day before, and I am grateful to have received some extra hash browns, and an extra sausage for Matt (although perhaps that was meant to be a secret!)
We’re completely aware that wedding season in 2022 has been manic for the industry, just looking at the calendar I can see how booked up you are, and I am in awe of the team’s energy and dedication - I’m not sure how you do it! You have probably lost count of how many weddings you have seen, but you still made us feel so special and unique, and we are so appreciative.
South Farm will always hold a special place in our heart, and we will be recommending you to all of our friends and family.
Lots of love

Laura, 13th October 2022

Just wanted to send a quick note, to thank every single member of staff that was helping at our wedding yesterday, you were all amazing, and should be so proud of how smoothly and amazing you guys were, with making sure everything went just amazing.
Also a massive thank you to Summer who made our day totally stress free and just even more perfect so thank you so much.
We had so many compliments on the venue/food/barns and everyone said South Farm is just stunning so beautiful.
A massive thank you again
 

Karen & Peter - Bride's Parents, 8th October 2022

Just a short note to say thank you for all your hard work with planning and providing an awesome day for Sophie and Jacks wedding!! Everything about the day was perfect. Thank you

Sophie & Jack, 8th October 2022

I would like to say how fabulous the South Farm team were on Saturday, our wedding day was so amazing. Everyone was so kind and done such a great job. So many of the guests said to me "wow, what a venue!"
Erica was great the whole day and made me feel like nothing would go wrong, and even if it did she would be there to fix it.
Thank you all so much for making this day finally happen for us.
Again, thank you all SO much. I'll be making sure to tell all of my friends go get married at South Farm so I can hopefully return!

Robert & Sophie, 25th September 2022

We will absolutely be writing raving reviews and recommendations. We have absolutely nothing negative to say, the day went so smoothly and everyone at the farm could not have been more helpful and accommodating. All of the guests were blown away by the food and the venue, so we are very happy.
I would like to make a special mention of just how fantastic Emily was on the day. Took any potential stress away and made sure everyone was where they needed to be and did it all with a smile. We were both so impressed by her.
Once we have our photos back, we will of course send them over with the questionnaire.
Thank you all again, and we will be in touch soon.

Barry - Father of the Bride, 21st September 2022

I felt I had to write to say a massive thank you to all of your team for making my daughters wedding truly special. The attention to detail was absolutely first rate and throughout the whole day nothing was too much trouble. Every member of the team seemed to have a single goal of making the day perfect which they did with a smile and level of enthusiasm that I rarely encounter in the modern day service industry. Everyone I encountered was kind patient and helpful and this really made our day.
I very rarely put pen to paper but the exemplary service provided by the whole team was very much worthy of a huge thank you from myself. I will not hesitate to recommend both the venue and the team to family and friends in the future.

Juan, 19th September 2022

I shot Stefan and Sarah's wedding... and I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to all the team.
It was so hot, and everyone made sure I had water and was okay.  This was really appreciated.  So thank you.  Also, I didn't get a chance to say thank you to Helen...who also made sure I was looked after and fed.
I'm not used to be looked after so well.
South Farm just looked absolutely stunning and I can't wait to be back.
Please do pass on my thanks to your team!

Fiona & George, 10th September 2022

Dear Erica, Emily, Michelle & the whole South Farm Team
We would like to thank you for everything you did to make our wedding day all we’d hoped for and more. We really appreciated all of Michelle & Emily's support during planning & Erica did an amazing job on the day – everything went like clock work … except that pesky British weather ????  All of the staff were fab throughout the day  – many of our guests said so too!
Many thanks

Rebecca & Nicholas, 9th September 2022

Firstly, thank you so much for giving us the wedding day of our dreams, it was everything we've ever wanted and so much more. I cannot express just how amazing it was and we are so sad its over! From the show round with Phillip, to our planning meeting & menu tasting, to breakfast the morning after it was just perfect. Honestly if we could do it all again we'd be booking in a heartbeat!
All of our guests said it was the best wedding & venue they've ever attended. Everyone also said how amazing Michelle & the other staff were, and how everything ran so smoothly & efficiently, but yet so calm and relaxed. The food was outstanding, the service was impeccable, the surroundings were stunning, and DJ Gary & the hoof booth from your suppliers list were both absolutely perfect! And we got our outdoor ceremony, which was the icing on the cake.
From start to finish Michelle was exceptional, she really went above and beyond. She was kind, fun, professional, caring and considerate. We were both so so nervous and she really held us together, calmed us down, and was amazing with our 3 children, who absolutely loved her. Also during the meal my youngest knocked gravy all down my dress, Michelle jumped straight into action trying to save the dress and stop me from having a breakdown! She is just an amazing person inside & out, and such an asset to South Farm. Please pass on our gratitude and love to her. We cannot thank her enough.
We do not have one negative point/feeling from the day.

Kelly & Luke, 5th September 2022

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and the team at South Farm. We had such an great day and you all were so so amazing on the day and on the preparation before. Thank you for making everything so easy for us.
So many friends and family have said how amazing the venue is and especially the food.
Thank you again, we couldn’t of asked for anything more.

Izzy & Jevon, 3rd September 2022

Thank you so much for making our wedding day so fantastic. Erica was so helpful and ensured everything ran smoothly on the day. We had so many compliments on how nice the food and venue were -  we are sorry its all over!

Victoria & Tim, 30th August 2022

Both Tim and I wanted to express our thanks again for the most amazing day ever. We truly will never forget it, and we are forever saying we wish we could do it again and again all over just for the experience. It was literally the “best day ever”…

The attention to detail, food, atmosphere, just everything was “on point”. If anyone is looking for a venue, be it a wedding, business event, Christmas party then this is the place. From start to finish we were kept in the loop and treated 1st class.

Our guests still to date, talk on how our wedding was the best they have attended. From the food, the entertainment, the provisions, to the attention to detail and the atmosphere nothing was overlooked.

Thank you to everyone you are an amazing team ⭐️

Xxx

 

 

Lauren & David, 28th August 2022

Thank you  for making our day run so smoothly. We had the most incredible wedding at South Farm. We would do it all again in a heartbeat. Becky you were absolutely amazing and we was so lucky to have you as part of our day.
Thank you - lots of love

Jessica & Nicholas, 20th August 2022

Firstly, just a note from me to say thank you Michelle so much for looking after us all so fabulously yesterday. We had the most amazing day and everything was just perfect. Everyone said how fantastic you were and that you were so bright cheerful and calming.
South Farm is an amazing venue but it is only the special teamwork who make it a truly special occasion. Every member of the South Farm team were welcoming, happy to help and so attentive. A huge thank you to every single team member for looking after us all yesterday.
On behalf of Annette, Poppy, George and I can I say once again thanks so much for a day for us, Jessica and Nick to treasure

Jenna & Travis, 19th August 2022

There are not enough words that even begin to explain how over the moon we were to have our wedding day with you on 19/08/22. We were blown away by how seamlessly everything ran & how well cared for ourselves & our guests felt. We got so much positive feedback from guests and suppliers. Thank you for going above and beyond and for making our wedding dream a reality .

Joleene, 17th August 2022

I attended the wedding of Dominique and James yesterday and just wanted to say a huge thank you to yourself and your hard working staff!
The venue is beautiful, but it’s the attentive, hard-working staff and your team’s ability to cater to the ‘awkward’ guest like myself that really made it stand out to me.
Not once did anyone announce what foods I could or couldn’t eat, nobody made a big thing of naming me out loud to identify me; one quiet enquiry from myself about whether the sausages contained gluten and a dish of canapés appeared, suiting my requirements and the meal itself, not so different from everybody else’s that I obviously stood out - delicious.
Thank you, a huge thank you to all involved.

Gabrielle & Tom, 12th August 2022

Thank you ever so much! We had the most wonderful day - we were honestly thrilled with how everything went! We had so many compliments on the venue and the food.

Phillippa & Dave, 11th August 2022

After a day looking back at our wedding on Thursday (and recovering! ) we just wanted to say a huge thank you to EVERY member of your team.
From our first amazing virtual tour a year and a half ago to the morning after our big day every member of your team were just amazing! It’s really hard to put into words how unbelievable you all were/are. Everyone couldn’t do enough for myself and Dave and all of our guests. Everyone said how amazing not just the venue itself was but also the people who are part of the South Farm team.
There isn’t one thing we would change about anything, you went above any expectations we ever had. We felt so at home and relaxed about everything and that’s down to your superb team. What a family you all are.
We’d like to also personally thank Hayley who just went above and beyond in every way possible on our day. In a way that was just perfect for us, the little touches, the checking in, the looking after our family both the little ones and older ones! The passing us a drink whenever you thought we needed one…you just knew! It was like you’d known us for years! You are one amazing event manager but even more importantly to us it was your kind and caring nature towards us and our family and friends that just made our day the best day!
I’ve attached a few photos of our big day feel free to use,  but will also send you Bea’s when she’s got them. Also if you need us to review anything please do shout!
We are hopeful some of our friends will now get married and pick south farm so we can experience it all again! Fingers crossed!!
Sending lots of love to you all and thank you for making our day the best day of our lives

Jordan & Tom, 6th August 2022

Just a note to say a huge thankyou to you all for making our day the best day ever ! All we have spoken about for the last few days is our wedding day and how amazing it was – it was all down to you!
A very special mention to Michelle who did the most incredible job at making sure our day was as seamless as possible – we couldn’t have hoped for a kinder wedding planner.
We wish we could do it all again and will treasure this day & South Farm for a life time.
Thank you to an incredible team.

Emma & Chris, 25th July 2022

Thank you for helping us make our wedding the most memorable day of our lives .
We had the most wonderful and perfect day at South Farm, so thank you to everyone involved on the day and before! Helen was amazing and so helpful all day as were all the other staff we met, we never had to worry about anything. The food was stunning and got so many compliments from our guests, as did your beautiful venue. South Farm is magical and we know that it takes a lot of hard work so thank you!

William & Olivia, 20th July 2022

We had a fantastic day and thank you so much for everything as we quite literally couldn't have had such a perfect wedding without your team!
You'll be happy to hear we have absolutely no negative feedback at all! Absolutely everything from the venue to the food to the organisation and efficiency of the team was perfect - we'll be sure to leave a review at some point and I'm sure Liv will share some of the photos with your facebook page!
Our only regret is not being able to get married at South Farm again! Although you never know, some people renew their vows after a few decades right?

Louise, 20th July 2022

Just wanted to say thank you so much for your help on Sunday, it was very much appreciated!
We absolutely loved the venue, everyone was so polite and helpful, definitely the best venue I have worked at for my past 2 years in business.
Hoping to work with you all again soon!

Martin & Natalie, 18th July 2022

We just wanted to say a big thank you for hosting our perfect wedding.
Despite record breaking temperatures the team did a wonderful professional job.  Special thanks to Helen for managing the day, Philip for driving us to the lake (and doing donuts in the tuktuk) and Christine for all the help after the day. Emily, thank you for being in the office at 10pm the night before to handle last minute dietary requirements!

Ffion & Ben, 8th July 2022

Thank you so much for looking after us so amazingly & making our day so magical. We appreciate everything you did for us and our guests.
 

Chrissy & Neil, 1st July 2022

We’re just writing to thank you so much for making sure our wedding day was perfect. We absolutely loved it and kept hearing from guests that they loved it too. We felt very proud of South Farm, the staff and all the hard work that had gone into making it all happen.
In particular we wanted to mention the positivity of all of the staff we encountered. They couldn’t do enough for us and it came across that they really enjoyed working for South Farm and we just looked forward to hearing from them. It’s a lovely group of people you have working with you and we really enjoyed the whole process because of them.
The tasting session was a huge treat. It surpassed our expectations, and we couldn’t wait to get married after that! Amazing food, really lovely people, well organised. I think this is a real bonus when booking South Farm as you get a real taste of what your day will be like, which is comforting and exciting.
We also couldn’t quite believe the quality and taste of the food on our wedding day. Again, it went beyond what we had hoped and so many guests said it was the best food they had every had. Our uncles in particular are still raving about it at our family gatherings now! The quantity was perfect too, which was something my parents were a bit apprehensive about as my family have big appetites. Michelle completely put our minds at ease on that, so thank you for doing extra bowls of potatoes for us. We also realise now we needn’t have been worried at all about how pink the beef was :-) but she still let us request it to be cooked medium and we appreciate that.
The ceremony location itself was breath-taking. We both said the scenery was amazing (and beautifully kept) and we couldn’t have dreamed of it to be any better in terms of how we felt. We were just blown away with how beautiful and perfect it felt.
And we would like to thank Helen for being the perfect planner for the day. Friendly, organised, unflappable. Everyone really liked her, and she made us feel so well looked after. She asked just the right questions and made sure we had everything we needed. We can’t thank her enough for this. She did a great job of settling our nerves too.

Elana & Richard, 29th June 2022

Firstly thank you so much to you and the team (special shout out to Hayley for all her hard work on the day!) We have had nothing but compliments on how great the staff, venue and food were. You really did make our day fantastic and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Mark Fisher, 26th June 2022

I would like to take this opportunity to let you know it was an amazing day and the service, courtesy & professionalism of all the staff working on that day far exceeded my expectations.
Everyone who attended that day have expressed to me how wonderful the venue was and the quality of service.
 I would like to say a special thank you to Hayley as she was absolutely first class keeping everything moving & keeping me in the loop, nothing was to much trouble for her, I did mention her in my speech but did not get the chance to thank her personally later that evening, please pass my thanks to her.
 Can you give Gary (disco) my thanks for making the evening a really great end of a brilliant day, even if my dancing was not so brilliant.
 Can you also relay my thanks to the lady who sorted everyone with the breakfast the following morning, again great service.
Finally in my line of work I speak to hundreds of people through the year and you can be rest assured I will be recommending South farm for events and weddings.
For Simone & my daughter Natasha as they move forward in the marital life thank you all for helping with the PERFECT START.

Yufan & Andy, 24th June 2022

Thank you so very much for being a huge piece of the jigsaw that made our day just perfect.
We knew from the moment we laid eyes on the blue door (and when Liz handed us a goody bag with your free range eggs in it) that South Farm was the one for us. We’d seen a few other venues already, but with South Farm it simply just clicked into place .
A huge shout to Helen for making everything run so smoothly on the day ; to Emily, Becky, and Michelle for answering all of Yufan's silly questions in the lead up ; to your catering staff who whipped up the most delicious meal that our guests are still talking about it ; and to everyone else who keep all the cogs turning behind the scenes too . Your people are absolutely a credit to South Farm.
Thank you again for creating such a memorable day for us both.

Dave & Sophie, 17th June 2022

We just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone at south farm. Just saying those words doesn’t feel enough as what you guys have done in helping and pulling off the perfect day means absolutely everything to us.
We are still on cloud nine looking through all the photos and have been talking about the day non stop.
We would just like to give a special thanks to Michelle and Helen for being amazing with the wedding planning and running the day itself like clockwork. Amazing!

Roisin & Peter, 16th June 2022

We wanted to say a huge Thank You! For making our wedding day so perfect.
All of the team were fantastic, so kind and helpful. From the emails and phone calls before the wedding and on the wedding day.
Hayley was amazing! She put our minds at ease that the day was going smoothly and let us take in and enjoy our day.
We have had so much amazing feedback from our guest, they have told us how beautiful the venue is, how amazing the food was and fantastic the staff were.
We could not have asked for a more perfect day and that was because of everyone at South Farm!
 We will be recommending you to all. 

Elana & Jordan, 11th June 2022

On behalf of our whole family I want to thank you for being such a steller organiser for Elana’s and Jordan’s wedding. Everything about the venue was excellent – and in fact exceeded my expectations (…. The food !!!). I felt that everything was secure in your hands and that meant that I could relax and really enjoy the day. You were absolutely first class.

Nicola & Daniel, 8th June 2022

Firstly we cannot thank you all at South Farm enough for your communication and support throughout our whole booking/arranging experience. You all have helped to make it stress free and enjoyable. Although we can’t quite believe it is over we are over the moon with the outcome of the day. It truly was everything we wanted it to be and more. Erica was absolutely amazing on the day, thank you so much! South farm is so breathtaking and the most perfect venue, we have had so many compliments from our guests. Again thank you so much for everything.

Abby & Andrew, 5th June 2022

South Farm was just perfect for us, such a relaxed feel at a stunning venue. The whole day was perfect. Of course we could of had slightly better weather so we were able to get married outside and we were hoping we would get some little piglets but these things didn’t stop us having the best day ever!
Special thanks to Hayley our event manager on the day, nothing was too much trouble and she made us feel as special as you should do on your wedding day. She was there to make sure we were happy every part of the day and she definitely did that 100%! All of our guests said how stunning the venue was and how amazing the food was!
Also thank you so much for getting the bridal suite ready early for me to get some pictures in the morning, that really helped a lot!
Even some of our suppliers have mentioned to me how lovely you all are and how accommodating you were at helping them set up and directing them in the right place etc. I used to be a wedding planner myself so I know things like that go a long long way in this industry so thank you for that.
We had a brilliant day, great staff, wonderful venue!

Mr & Mrs Biglin, 2nd June 2022

Well ,what can we say …
Thank you so much for our perfect wedding. The venue runs like clockwork, you are so good at what you do.  Special thank you to Hayley who was our event manager on the day and was absolutely lovely .
Keep up the good work.

Nikki & Jo, 31st May 2022

Thank you for making our day amazing . Everyone was so attentive and friendly. All our guests commented on how amazing you were. A special thank you from Peanut for all the cuddles he got .
You guys are amazing at what you do.

Amy & Laura, 25th May 2022

We just wanted to say a huge thank you to all of you who helped make our wedding run so smoothly. You were all incredible and we never had to worry about a thing. Every single thing about South Farm is magical and it is like that because of you.
Special thanks to Summer our amazing event manager, your smile and calmness throughout the day was much appreciated ????

Mr & Mrs Ward, 19th May 2022

We can’t even express in words just how incredible our wedding day at South Farm was!!! It was just perfect and everything we could have dreamed of. Our guests were in awe of how beautiful South Farm is. My photographer has always wanted to shoot at SF and wasn’t disappointed. My singer said it was just “magical”.

We had the most amazing day, please do pass on massive thanks to Summer who was just fantastic, our guests commented on how lovely and helpful she was. She really put me at ease and couldn’t do enough for me.Also to every other member of your team who helped with the smooth running of our day. Your staff were just brilliant!

And the food… my goodness the food…. The comments from our guests about the food were just incredible, they commented on how amazing every single thing was. Your chefs are so talented.

Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts, I’m so glad we chose to have our wedding with you.

 

Val & John, 17th May 2022

John and I want to thank you so much for ensuring that our celebrations on Tuesday were utterly fabulous!  We always thought we’d made the right choice of South Farm but the day itself proved how wonderful both the team and venue really are.

It seems unfair to mention only some people as we were so impressed with the professionalism and friendliness of everyone we spoke to throughout our protracted progress towards our special day but Hayley, our Event Manager needs a special mention:  she was an absolute joy and always seemed to be at hand to help without ever being intrusive and has an uncanny ability to read minds in that she knew what I wanted/would find helpful before I had even thought of it.

We’d also especially like to thank the chefs who delivered such a wonderful meal. Many of our friends made a point of saying that the canapes were probably the best they’d ever tasted.

We could go on – the grounds, serving staff, housekeeping, office staff, location, ambience, etc. etc. – all absolutely fantastic.

We will miss planning our South Farm celebrations and dealing with you all.  Hopefully, one of our friends will decide to get married at South Farm and we can enjoy it again.  In the meantime, John and I send huge thanks to you all and wish everyone our very best.

Claire & Mike, 7th May 2022


Everything about South Farm is simply amazing - from the beautiful venue and gardens, farm animals, amazing food (we recommend the Fusion Feast - our guests loved it!) and most importantly the wonderful staff who are so friendly, attentive and professional. There are so many little touches that make the venue memorable and unique. Big thanks especially to our Event Manager Emily who is so warm and approachable, clearly so passionate about helping couples have the best day ever.


Book South Farm for your wedding, you won’t regret it!

Jess & Sam, 26th April 2022

Thank you all for making our day so special.  Everything was even better than we could have imagined. We really noticed all of your hard work on the day – our guests even mentioned it. They all raved about the food – the best wedding food they had ever had and one of the loveliest venues they had ever been to.

Emily & Mat, 8th April 2022

Thank you so much for everything you have done to make our wedding the best day ever! Everything and everybody we have met or spoken to have been so helpful and friendly and South Farm is the most beautiful venue. You made the whole wedding planning straight forward and we appreciate that hugely. All of our guests have been so incredibly complimentary of the venue, food and staff. The food was amazing!! A particular thank you to Helen for working so hard to make our ceremony happen outside – it wouldn’t have happened without you ! And to the teams who made this happen too by cutting the grass and putting chairs out last minute. Great to find out we were the first outdoor wedding of 2022.
Our guests claimed it was like being in the South of France! We have had the best experience and have created some wonderful memories at South Farm, so thank you.

Danielle & Charlotte, 6th April 2022

This venue is absolutely gorgeous. And the staff are simply amazing!
We got married here last week and had the most magical day - a day we dreamed of having and South Farm fulfilled this for us - especially Michelle who went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly for us and added lots of fun!!!!
The food is out of this world and all of our guests couldn’t of praised it any more … there is a reason why they win so many awards! Thank you South Farm, you are all amazing! Danielle & Charlotte

Charli & Luke, 18th March 2022


We were lucky enough to get married at South Farm in March. Everything from our first consultation to our wedding day was amazing! All the Staff are so welcoming and friendly and happy to answer endless questions! We had Helen as our events manager on the day all I can Say is WOW she was so calming during the day and kept everything running smoothly. All our guests said the venue was absolutely stunning including the food!
I wish we could do this day again and again because for us it was beyond perfect!
Thank-you to you all, South Farm will always be a special place to us.


Charli & Luke xx

I just wanted to say thank you for making our day fantastic! Your staff are outstanding and very friendly. A very special thank you to Erica, what a lovely lady. Thank you for a lovely time from our whole family.

Darcey and Jamie, 29th January 2022

Simply stunning, the most gorgeous venue which not only oozes character and beauty with its amazingly kept grounds and gorgeous decor but the staff are what makes this venue outstanding.
We had the lovely Erica run our wedding day and we can’t thank her enough for ensuring our big day went perfectly and couldn’t do more for us, also a huge thank you to all the lovely office staff who helped me with any queries along the way.
Our guests all commented on how amazing the food was, perfect portion sizes, fresh and tasted amazing!
If you’re looking for a venue that is upfront with costing, simply beautiful with no added extra costs such as fairy lights and want a dedicated team of professionals then this venue is a must!

A Wedding Guest, 28th January 2022

We recently attended our nieces wedding & would like to express our thanks to all of your staff for making it a beautiful and memorable day. We were so impressed not only with the delightful setting and wonderful food, but with the courtesy and professionalism of every member of staff we encountered.

Pete & Laura Morris, 21st January 2022

We would like to say a special thank you to Claire, who served us breakfast on both days. She was extremely efficient, cheerful and friendly as well as being very thoughtful. She is a real credit to your business.

Lucy Miller, 25th November 2021

What a beautiful venue and amazingly helpful staff. I got married at this wonderful venue on 25/11/2021 ( original date was 26/11/2020) the whole process from start to finish was brilliant despite covid pushing us back a year!
The whole team made our day so special, they were extremely accommodating with all of our requests, knowledgable and friendly. Everyone one from our event manager Summer to all the bar staff, kitchen staff and cleaners helped make our day perfect! We’re still buzzing and wish we do it all Over again. Thank you xxx

Mr & Mrs Fitzpatrick, 8th November 2021

We wanted to say the biggest Thank You for everything you all did to help us have the best day. From our first visit, to all of your help and support during two cancelled weddings, to our very special day, you all have gone above and beyond. We are so glad it finally happened but sad that it’s over.
Lots of love, Joe Jessie & Hallie xx

Jade & Will, 6th November 2021

A massive thank you for helping us with our perfect wedding day. We had the most amazing day and this was thanks to your beautiful venue and incredibly attentive staff. A special Thank You to Summer, who was such a calming presence on the day. We have had so many compliments from our guests about out venue choice, including how amazing the food was!


Lauren & Dean, 28th October 2021

We can’t thank South Farm enough for helping us create the most magical wedding day. The staff were fantastic and events manager Summer was exceptional. From start to finish the day was perfect. We wish we could do it all again.
Thank you from the new Mr and Mrs Reilly

Louisa & Andrew, 21st October 2021

I can't believe it's been four weeks already since our incredible day with you all. We can't say thank you enough for everything you did for us in the run up and during our wedding.

From our first meeting and show round in November 2018 we knew South Farm was a special place and we just had to have our wedding there. Every single person we spoke or met with was incredible, including but not limited to, Emily, Summer, Christine, Becky and Michelle; from our planning meeting, the couples taster evening (literally never known another venue that does anything that incredible), all the postponement and rescheduling, the second planning meeting and all the panicky calls and emails were dealt with nothing other than calm, friendliness and reassurance. In 20 months like no other to hit the wedding and hospitality industry, you all made us feel like everything was under control, even when it probably didn't feel like it was your end but it made all the difference to us when we were making those difficult choices.

Luckily every choice we did make with your help was absolutely the right one and the whole day was exactly - if not better - than we dreamed it would be. So many of our guests couldn't tell us enough how gorgeous the place was and were so impressed - like we were - with your onsite kitchen team and dedication to growing and raising the produce you serve. We're still getting people telling us how incredible the food was! Not a single complaint to be had and it all went down an absolute treat.

An extra special mention to Julie for being our coordinator on the day; an absolutely unflappable, consummate professional who knew all the answers to any questions we had before we asked them! From the little things like asking if we wanted a peek at the rooms after set up, to muscling her way into the evening buffet to make us up a plate of food and leave it in the bridal suite for us (the best idea EVER!), we had absolutely no worries the entire day, she was incredible.

And finally a big thank you to all the rest of the operational team who made everything run like a dream, from the kitchen team, to the F&B and bar staff. I've  worked in hospitality and customer facing roles since I was 16 and I have to say, your staff are some of the best. Even coming down to breakfast the next morning to see all the tables set up and decorated with our centerpieces and decorations was such a lovely surprising touch; so unexpected but just a lovely example of some of the things that make South Farm so special.

The only disappointment was the absolute audacity of your lovely pig to still be overdue and pregnant on the day - only for her to give birth the day after we believe? How rude, haha! Still can't believe we missed out on piglet pictures!! But we won't hold it against you :-)

Seriously guys, thank you just doesn't feel enough, you made our whole day and we'll never forget it. We won't hesitate to recommend you!

Henry & Lucy, 14th October 2021

We both want to say a huge thank you for a truly magical day! After waiting so long we couldn’t have asked for anything more.
All of our friends and family have said WHAT A FANTASTIC VENUE South Farm is and how brilliant the team were. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was incredible! Thank you for your patience with all of the weird and wonderful dietary requirements we passed your way.
A special thank you to Hayley who really did go the extra mile to make sure we relaxed and had the best day! Because of everyone at South Farm, we had the Wedding Day f our dreams! We wish we could do it all over again!

Sarah Danes, 24th July 2021

I cannot fully express just how wonderful our wedding at South Farm was on the 24th July 2021! All of our guests absolutely raved about the beautiful venue, the fantastic service and exquisite food.
Michelle was our event planner for the day and everything was just seamless. Somehow Michelle even made the sun come out!! it really was everything we had dreamed about and more. I would recommend South Farm in a heartbeat

Sally & Ryan, 19th July 2021

We would recommend this venue in a heartbeat. From the moment we set eyes on South Farm, we knew we had to get married there! The team were absolutely incredible and the day run so smoothly, we didn’t have to think or worry about a thing. Our event manager, Helen, was outstanding even on the hottest day of the year! After such a difficult year for the wedding industry, South Farm still had its magic and has come back even stronger Thank you for the bottom of our hearts.

Sam & Chris, 18th July 2021


South Farm is honestly the most amazing wedding venue! My (now) husband and I, live in Dubai and had the fun of not only planning a wedding from abroad, but also during Covid times. However, South Farm made this a piece of cake. From clear and informative communication over email and Zoom calls, to running the wedding day so efficiently and seamlessly. As Chirs said in his speech, "Thank you South Farm. We could have not asked for a better wedding venue." Everyone we have had contact with at South Farm has been extremely professional, helpful and passionate. I would like to say a special thank you to Hayley who ensured our whole day ran smoothly and was always so smiley and welcoming.


Food is a big part of our life and we spend lots of our time hunting down the best places to eat, whether it's a tiny hidden cafe, street food or a Michelin Star Restaurant. For our wedding breakfast, we opted for the Thai Banquet and it was absolutely stunning food. Every dish was mouth-watering with lovely zesty Thai flavours. All our guests commented on the freshness and vibrancy of the food and how refreshing it was to eat something a little less traditional at a wedding. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who works at South Farm. You certainly gave us our dream wedding and Covid did not dampen South Farm's spirits in the slightest.


The farm...wow, wow, wow! We were super lucky that the weather was amazing, however, I fell in love with South Farm on a grey and gloomy January morning. I honestly think the farm would shine on any day of the year. The little pigs were so gorgeous to visit and definitely entertained our smallest guests. In fact, the kids were not seen for most of the day as they were busy exploring the farm!


I would personally like to give a big shout out to our incredible photographer Gavin Hardy! Gav's work speaks for itself. It is more than incredible and I have only seen 2 photographs so far that he has kindly leaked to us. I can't wait to see all the other photos.


To conclude, we had the most incredible wedding day full of fun, love and laughter. Thank you South Farm.

Mr & Mrs Aylott, 15th July 2021


My husband and I can’t recommend South Farm enough!


We knew the moment we visited South Farm for the first time that’s where we wanted to celebrate our wedding reception. The location is stunning, the grounds are expansive, the exclusive venue use is out of this world, the piglets!!!… and other animals melted our hearts.


The staff were professional, supportive and encouraged us throughout, which was very much needed having postponed a full year due to covid. We had expected to have a restriction free wedding, then pot luck our wedding date fell 4 days before the government restrictions were lifted… but the staff at South Farm were amazing, they communicated with us throughout, and on the day helped bring our vision to life. Summer was our co-ordinator on the day and she was fantastic!


Thank you to Summer and the whole team at South Farm.

Mr & Mrs King, 3rd July 2021


Having postponed our wedding from 2020 to July this year due to COVID. The emails back and forth and the uncertainty of whether we could have a ‘normal’ wedding, left us with fear and anxiety! However when the day came, none of that mattered!! We had the BEST DAY and the level of service received by the South Farm team was AMAZING. From the moment we arrived and up till leaving, the service was 5 star!!! Our friends and family were so impressed too and the food was BEAUTIFUL!! And a big shout out to Michelle for being such a FUN events manager on the day!! We wish you all the very best for the future!



Jasmin & Tom, 26th June 2021

Our wedding day was made the most incredible day of our lives by your amazing team. Summer, thank you so much for your professionalism and for being so kind and warm. Thank You for being endlessly supportive throughout all of the ups, downs and delays. We have always felt so lucky to have such an honest, considerate and compassionate venue who puts couples first despite business concerns.
You are all lovely, lovely people and the best wedding venue in the world – we truly believe it!

Falak Smith, 11th June 2021

What can I say about South Farm…
I visited South Farm just over 3 years ago with the interest of booking it for our wedding and WOW, it is absolutely beautiful, we booked it within the week!
Throughout the planning process, South farm were ever so helpful, answered any questions we had very quickly and thoroughly. The food tasting was organised so well and as a bonus the food tasted AMAZING Our wedding was one of the first to be effected by the Pandemic with our original date being in May 2020. South Farm were so helpful and understanding as we were to them. They really helped us and reassured us everything was going to be ok. We postponed 5 times and every single time they were on the ball and very helpful.
At last, we finally had our wedding day on the 11th June 2021, my event manager was Helen, and oh my goodness it was all organised so well, the day went PERFECTLY all thanks to Helen, making sure everything was ready in the background whilst I could relax and get ready.
Christine, Becky, Emily, Michelle, Hayley and Helen (and others!) thank you so so so much for making our dream wedding a reality. We are so grateful to you for all of your help and support. We hope we can come back and visit soon, South Farm was worth the wait

Sharon & Clare, 12th December 2020

We just wanted to share a few of our photos from our wedding ceremony on 12 December ..... we feel so lucky and privileged that we were able to get married in these strange times ... especially as we live in a Tier 4 area now.
Our Event Manager Michelle was an absolute star and couldn’t have done anymore to make our day special.
Thanks again for everyone’s help and support on the day.

Speak soon and take care

Sharon & Clare

Matt & Charlotte, 9th December 2020

Matt and I just wanted to pop an email to say how absolutely incredible everything was yesterday. Helen was totally amazing. Very attentive and friendly. Every staff member made a day that was not as planned feel like the most special day ever and we wanted to thank everyone for that too.
The food was amazing and everyone complimented on how tasty it was and well presented.

We would recommend South farm to anyone it is the most magical place on earth.

Love Matt and Charlotte xx

Sarah & Owen, 4th October 2020


Words cannot express how grateful we are for all the hard work the team at South Farm put into making our wedding day so perfect.From beginning to end, the attention to detail, personal touch, and support was brilliant - we really appreciate everything they did for us.
The venue looked stunning, everything was perfectly on time, the food was absolutely delicious, and every member of the South Farm team was a delight to be around. No request was too much.
We understand this has been a difficult time, but we were impressed by the professionalism and kindness that the whole team have shown us throughout
Special thanks also to the in house DJ - DJ Gary who was totally supportive throughout the process and understanding when we had to scale down our wedding.

Laura Hewett, 26th September 2020

We had a really lovely wedding reception at South Farm last Saturday. We initially decided upon this venue for its beautiful outdoor space and the number of guests it could welcome. Of course no one could foresee the Coronavirus situation, but we have been so impressed by South Farm’s response with their packages for smaller weddings. Even with a reception 1/6 of our intended size (and in the rain!) the space was used very well so that the reception still felt lively. The food was outstanding, the staff as welcoming as ever, and some of our friends could still stay over and enjoy a stroll around in the grounds with us in the morning.

Thanks South Farm for showing us that ‘good things come in small packages’!!!

Emily Cooper, 25th September 2020


We planned to get married on 29th April at South farm, but due to covid we had to postpone.
South farm were incredible throughout the entire process! They kept us in the loop with everything, and held our hands as our dream of a massive wedding had to be altered.
Our new date was 30th September, planned for 30 people- a huge reduction from the original 150, but we knew that South farm would still make it perfect for us!
Well, just for fun, the government decided to change restrictions again from 28th September and we were left with the predicament of reducing to just 15 people, a near enough impossible option for us as our immediate family is so huge.
We were heart broken at the thought of another set back, and after coming so close this time we didn't really know what options we were left with.
And this is where the real magic of South farm, and how accommodating they are really sets in... amazingly they had availability for us to bring our day forward and get married with 30 people on 25th September.
With their incredible help and support (especially Emily and Helen) we managed to pull together the most beautiful, perfect, and intimate wedding within 2 days!
We're still on a massive wedding day buzz now.
I'd get married here all day every day if I could.
Thank you all so much for giving us the most perfect day.
You really do go above and beyond, especially in these challenging times, you still made us feel like royalty x

 

Emma Rockwood, 19th September 2020

As soon as we arrived at South Farm for the initial walk-round we knew it was the place for us, and by the time we left we had fallen in love with it and didn’t need to even look elsewhere.
The staff really are like one big family and every single one of them will do anything to help make your day as special as possible. They are organised, professional, enthusiastic, positive, attentive, efficient and experts in their own areas. They literally are the dream team and from start to finish they all make you feel like yours is the only wedding going on in the world!
The organic food is amazing and is mainly home-grown on-site at South Farm, you are always welcome to look around the smallholding, nothing is hidden away and everything is so well maintained and loved, it really shows. The animals are adorable and it is clear that their welfare comes above anything, which is hugely important to us.
The venue speaks for itself, it is just stunning, inside and out, whatever the season. A huge amount of hard work must go on behind the scenes in keeping everything looking so great but it all feels so natural with effortless countryside beauty.
To summarise, we cannot recommend South Farm highly enough, it’s literally our perfect venue and our wedding day was simply perfect, even in times like these, so thank you all.

Sarah & Alex, 27th August 2020

We got married at South Farm in August and we can't recommend them enough!
The venue is just so beautiful but it's the team that makes this place special. Nothing is out of the question and they have a truly individual approach.
We loved this personable treatment as having viewed other venues and been to wedding fayres a lot of places felt very formulaic and we didn't want a churned out, identikit 'cookie cutter' wedding, we wanted to get married somewhere that felt like 'us'.
South Farms 'Distinctly Different' motto was perfect for us and we loved sharing ideas with the team about making our day just right for us, from the veggie menu we created, to the decor and the special drinks, everything was exactly how we wanted it.
Whilst this year has been really tough for wedding planning and the industry as a whole South Farm stayed calm and informed keeping us up to date on the changing government restrictions and were prepared and forward thinking with what they could offer throughout.
We had our wedding with 30 people and within all the government guidelines of the time but it was still our perfect big day and we're so glad we went ahead.
Whilst the planning felt fun and easy, the day itself was also a breeze with South  Farms event planning team running the event like clockwork without you realising so that you can kick back and just enjoy! A big thank you to Michelle who kept everything running smoothly on our day! I didn't even have chance to feel anxious or panic about anything as it felt like everything was sorted for me!

It was truly special, thank you South Farm!

Aysen Mehmet & Rob Luker, 16th February 2020




We had the most special day. The venue is amazing and the staff from the start of our process, up to and including our big day were faultless. First class all the way!


 


 

Melissa & David, 15th February 2020

Hi Summer

Thank you so much for everything you done for both myself and David on our wedding day. I don’t think the day would have gone as smoothly if it wasn’t for you.

You were there for anything either of us needed and even our guests requests.

Our day was as perfect as we imagined, the venue is absolutely beautiful. Everything just ran like clockwork, would also like to thank all of the staff as they were all so polite and helpful.

Most of our guests had told us that was the best wedding they’ve ever been to.

Thanks again for everything, I will be recommending South Farm to anyone I know who gets engaged in the future.

Melissa & David x

Andrew Dudley, Emma & George's Parents, 8th February 2020

A slightly belated thank you for organising an excellent wedding for Emma & George last Saturday. We were very lucky with the weather, which presented South Farm in glorious winter sunshine, and we missed the wind and rain that lashed everywhere on the Sunday. All the guests commented on the choice of venue and the quality of the food. It all made for an excellent event with the vast majority of the guests staying to the bitter end.

Our organiser on the day was Emily and she was on top of all aspects. Her dialogue with me kept me fully up to date with everything and even when the speeches over ran their allotted time she was brilliant in getting the room re-organised so that we were soon back on target. All your staff were a credit to your organisation with exactly the right amount of attention to detail, whilst staying in the background and letting us enjoy the day with our guests.

On behalf of Emma, George and both sets of parents thank you very much.

Richard & Jotty, 21st December 2019

Jotty and I would like to thank you for the most tremendous day. You all played a huge part in making it work and Jane, on the day it was seamless.
From the bottom of our hearts we thank you all.

Louise & Steve Fowler, 20th December 2019

Hello,

I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything everyone at South Farm did for our wedding on Friday!

Michelle was so friendly and attentive and really felt part of the wedding party which was lovely. My niece also said a special thank you to her for the cake!

The food also got rave reviews from everyone who came and was delicious!

Thank you to everyone who was involved in the run up to the wedding - Emily and Becky were both great and made everything seem so easy!

I also had a lovely time catching up with Hannah - thanks for letting me in the kitchen!

Hope you all have a lovely Christmas and a well deserved break.

Thanks again,

Louise and Steve

Amy & Peter Richardson, 13th December 2019

5 stars. From the moment we first looked around to the morning after our wedding, South Farm was incredible.

Special mention to Helen our organiser on the day who made us both feel at ease, as well as making sure every detail was covered.

Communication with South Farm made me feel a little worried initially as you talk to so many different people in the team. But when we met Helen it became clear it wasn’t that no-one was specifically looking after us, it’s that every one of the team is looking after us and the level to which Helen knew what we wanted just showed that.

We got so many compliments on the food, every single contributor from their recommendations was spot on and all the staff were friendly. It was perfect.

Plus there are piglets!

Francesca Main & Kathy Derry, 21st November 2019

We had our beautiful wedding here on Thursday. Francesca and I enjoyed it so much and Michelle and Helga were on top form.

Emily & Thomas, 16th November 2019

Hi Summer,

Thanks so much for your message and sorry for our late reply, we are just back from our honeymoon in Cyprus!

It would be impossible for us to tell you how perfect everything was on the day, we were both a bit anxious in the days leading up to it but we needn't have been, Jane took excellent care of us and honestly it was better than we ever could have hoped! Loads of our guests said it was the best wedding they'd ever been to, everyone said the food was absolutely amazing, and we really couldn't have been more thrilled with everything so thank you so much to the whole team, particularly Jane and Emily as well who helped a lot with the planning and was brilliant in the lead up to the day. And to you Summer who showed us around when we first came to visit you just over a year ago and you helped us make the excellent decision to have our wedding at South Farm!.

Sending all our very best to the team and we hope to be able to visit South Farm again in future!



Kind regards

Emily and Thomas xxx

Alison Landon, 9th November 2019

My daughter, Eve Landon (now Dolling ) got married at your beautiful venue on 9th November this year. I would just like to say how fabulous her day was I can’t fault anything. Summer was absolutely amazing, friendly, professional, understanding and totally on top of everything. I don’t know what we’d have done without her! Chris, the MC, was a delight and ensured the day ran smoothly, as well as winning the hearts of us and our guests I could gush on about many things, including the food and accommodation but I’d end up writing a novel Suffice to say, we are so happy that we chose South Farm to host our celebrations

Many thanks

Ash & Eve, 9th November 2019

Dear Summer and the South Farm Team,

We wanted to thank you for making our Wedding Day so special.

The planning of the day was made so much easier because of all you did - your lovely and speedy responses to all of our enquiries in the buildup made it that much less stressful for us.

The day itself was perfect and we wanted to especially thank Summer for making everything run so smoothly and particularly for staying later to assist in the evening.

We will never forget our special day at South Farm.

Thank you again

Emily & Edward Chapman, 1st November 2019

5 star rating!!! South Farm is the most incredible wedding venue. My husband and I got married earlier this month and would highly recommend. The staff were amazing, from the beginning of planning to the execution on the day. Everything ran smoothly and was very organised, all details were covered making the process of planning as stress free as possible. The food was also wonderful, we had lots of comments from our guests saying how much they enjoyed it. The staff made us feel very special and catered to all of our needs. They went above and beyond our expectations for a wedding venue. We are so happy that we chose to have our wedding there. We were in discussion with a few of the team at the venue, all of which were great. Summer was our wedding planner on the day and was wonderful!!

Steph & Iain, 20th October 2019

On behalf of myself and my new HUSBAND, I’d just like to say a massive thank you to you and the whole team at South Farm. The day could not have gone better and we couldn't imagine celebrating anywhere else. From day one, the experience has been an absolute pleasure and given the short timeline we were working with, we were pleasantly surprised at how easy the whole planning process felt!

Myself and Iain were so happy with how the day went- a bonus was that we got lucky with the weather and had the magical experience of our dream outdoor ceremony! All the guests have talked about is how the venue was so stunning and how great the food was (we've even had a couple of carnivores consider a plant based diet going forward!)

Honestly we could go on...

Again a big thanks to all those we worked closely with including James, Emily and of course Becky who on the day ran a slick military operation and of course this will all be reflected in our online reviews too.

Take care and best wishes,

Steph and Iain

Mark & Ronnie Hagger, 19th October 2019

Dear All,

My new wife and I just want to say a very big thank you to Emily and all of you at South Farm you really made our day very special and enjoyed by everyone who attended. Everything went very smoothly without problems.

Best regards

Mr. and Mrs. Darnell-Anderson, 17th October 2019

Dear Summer,

Happy New Year to you and the team at South Farm! We hope you all had a lovely holiday period.

We would like to express our appreciation for everything the team at South Farm have done for us. We couldn't have wished for anything more, as you had met and promptly exceeded all our expectations. Everything was handled with great professionalism and warmth. Our guests have all expressed how impressed they were by the venue, the food, the staff and the atmosphere. Even to this day people are still commenting on the amazing buffet spread and the romance of South Farm. A special mention to yourself, Summer, for being with us from our first show around, through to the final moments of the big day, and for always having the kindest nature.

Chris & Karen Garrett, 9th October 2019

Dear Phillip & Team,

We wanted to thank you so much for an absolutely perfect day we had on the 9th October 2019 for our son Nick and Laura’s wedding. Everyone throughout enjoyed themselves and we all agree that the venue, food and most of all the staff were all fabulous. We will be recommending the farm as it was fantastic in every way.

King Regards,

Chris & Karen Garrett.

Mrs & Mrs Clemence-Jackson, 6th October 2019

To Helga, Emily, Christine and the whole team at South Farm,

Phil and I want to say a huge thank you to everyone at South Farm for giving us the most perfect wedding day we could have wished for.

From the moment we booked you as our venue we received fantastic service. You were happy to accommodate all of our needs to make the day uniquely ours. You were organised and proactive in the months before the wedding, helping us with our choices at each step and leaving us in no doubt that everything was in hand. The food tasting day we attended was a runner-up for best day of the year!

On the day itself Helga was friendly and professional, and all the staff's hard work was evident in the fact that everything went perfectly and seamlessly. Friends and family were full of compliments about the venue, food and staff.

We honestly had the best day of our lives and we are so glad we chose South Farm to make it happen.

Please accept a huge thank you from us both, and from our families and friends.

All the best,

Katie & Phil

Lynne & Gerald Clemence, 6th October 2019

Dear Christine

My husband and I would like to thank everyone at South Farm for making our daughter’s wedding so special on Sunday.  Thanks to you, everything went perfectly and everyone who attended had a wonderful time. We’d particularly like to thank Helga who ensured that everything went according to plan, and who met every query or request with a smile. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt that we were in safe hands and were very well looked after. The food was amazing; it looked beautiful, tasted delicious and was served smoothly and efficiently. The chef and team are to be congratulated on producing such high quality food throughout the day, from the delicious canapés, to the magnificent meal, the lovely truffles and finally the hog roast rolls. There were many compliments!

Thank you so much!

Katherine & Ben Selby, 29th September 2019

Dear all at South Farm,

It honestly couldn’t have been any better. We are incredibly grateful for the work of all staff on the day – especially Summer who was a total delight and kept us calm down and relaxed throughout! :)

Special shout-outs to Emily & Becky who were fantastic as we booked and planned the day – just exceptional pros :) Love always!

Olli and Emma Sharpe, 8th September 2019

Dear South Farm!

We just wanted to message to thank everybody at South Farm for the most amazing and wonderful wedding day! From the very first time we saw South Farm we fell in love, it was everything we were looking for in a wedding venue! The staff were amazing every step of the way and made the wedding planning experience smooth, stress-free and very enjoyable! We loved all of it from the amazing menu tasting, to the pre-planning meeting to of course the big day itself! My personal highlight were the piglets of course!

All of our guests absolutely loved the venue and thought it was amazing! They thought everything was so personal and we had a lovely sunny day so they got to see all the beautiful gardens!

Becky was our wedding planner on the day and she was amazing! She made the day run so smoothly and we cant thank her enough!

Mr & Mrs Richards, 29th August 2019

Jane & Team,

Thank you so much for all of your help on the lead up to our wedding day. We truly had the most incredible day & honestly couldn’t have wished for a better venue & team. The food was incredible & the bar staff managed to keep up with our cocktail orders.

Lots of love Mr & Mrs Richards

Sarah & Nick, 28th August 2019

Dearest Emily & The team South Farm,

Thank you for being amazing! It was the most wonderful day and went like clockwork!

Mr & Mrs Walsh, 26th August 2019

We’ve just returned back home after attending our Nephews wedding on a very hot day. On behalf of me and my wife we’d like to say thanks. We’ve been to a lot of weddings and were saying to each other this has to be the nicest one we’ve been to. The owners and all the staff should be very proud of what they have created a truly remarkable experience.

Mr & Mrs Henddrickson, 26th August 2019

To Helen and everyone at South Farm,

We just wanted to thank you for making our dream wedding come true. We had the most perfect day and it all ran so smoothly. Helen helped us feel so relaxed and calm, even grabbing Josh a banana straight after the ceremony, as nothing was too much to ask. We are so glad we chose South Farm to host our wedding. Thank you for everything … We wish we could do it all over again!

Kath & Neil Walker, 25th August 2019

Dear Helga and all the team at South Farm,

Neil and I wanted to also give massive thanks for our daughter’s wedding on Sunday 25th August 2019. Your calm, friendly and professional help ensured a stunning, spectacular, amazing day that we shall all remember for the rest of our lives.

 

Mr & Mrs Hastings, 16th August 2019

Helen, Caio from Italy!

We have spent our first day of honeymoon talking about the wedding and singing your praises! Wow, you were fantastic!

Thanks for making our dream day come true and then some! We were drunk in love (and just drunk) and you made every second perfect!

We’re happy to say the weather in Italy is better than our wedding day!

Thank you so much for everything!

Wow!

Lots of love!

Mr & Mrs Hastings! Xxxxxx

Amy and Richard, 12th August 2019

Thank you to everyone at South Farm,

To Jane for discreetly organising us and being kind to Minnie, to Gary the brilliant DJ ( We danced all night), the Chefs for the fantastic food and best breakfast sausages, the housekeepers for our perfect rooms and the gardeners who keep the grounds looking so beautiful and to anyone else working behind the scenes.

As parents who live in Scotland hundreds of miles from our daughter, South Farm was a perfect choice of venue. We keep being told it was the best wedding ever. A huge thank you for a day we will always remember for the rest of our lives. It was very special

Anne Marie & Richard Wild

Emily & Gary, 11th August 2019

To the South Farm team,

We just wanted to thank you for being the venue for our special day on the 11th August 2019. The smiles on the bride and grooms faces show how much they enjoyed their big bad and that is what is important. Everything on the day was dealt with efficiently and promptly due to your hard work, planning and attention to detail. We know that delivering an experience like this requires so much hard work behind the scenes by an army of people, from the front of house, Chefs, Event Managers, kitchen potters and cleaners and those working in the early hours of the morning to clean and set tables. We want to thank each and every member of the South Farm team because we know it is a team effort. However we would like to single out one person for a special mention, our event manager Emily. She was outstanding and was always there making sure everything ran smoothly but never in the way. She was there to show us around South Farm two years ago when we were looking for venues and it was fitting that she was the event manager on our big day. Thank you Emily.

We have so many wonderful memories of our wedding day which will last a lifetime. We entrusted you with our dreams for a perfect wedding and you didn’t let us down.

Thank you so much Gary Hitch, Emily Bundock-Hitch, Gary Bundock & Sandra Bundock

Emily Bundock-Hitch & Gary Hitch, 11th August 2019

We got married at South Farm on the 11th August 2019. From the initial show round two years previous we knew this was our wedding venue. The run up to the wedding with the planning meeting and wedding planner document made it so easy to communicate everything we needed for our day, and on the day everything was in place just as we wanted. The whole day ran just as planned and our event manager Emily did an amazing job at making sure everything was alright all the way through.

Olivia & Max Stephenson-Pope, 5th August 2019

From starting off looking around the venue, to the actual wedding day, we received exceptional service, organisation and support with planning our big day.

The venue is absolutely stunning, and lived up to everything we envisioned and could have hoped for. We have had countless comments from our guests praising South Farm, in particular, how you have so many lovely areas for guests to disperse into, and how incredibly delicious all of the food was!
We would also like to thank Helga for being with us for our day and making sure everything ran smoothly. She was professional, knowledgeable, calming, friendly and an absolute godsend, ensuring that everything was taken care of so that we could just take in and enjoy the day!

Thank you again,

Lydia & Blaine, 28th July 2019

To all the team at South Farm,

Thank you so much for making our big day on the 28th July so amazing!

When we chose South Farm as our venue we both knew we were guaranteed a wonderful day, and we were not let down.

Helga - you were brilliant in ensuring our day ran smoothly, thank you so much for keeping us calm and ensuring our Ushers and Bridesmaids kept on task and everyone was where they were supposed to be.

Alexandra and Becky - Thank you for your excellent help and care in each and every stage of our planning, and for always being available on email regardless of the time of day. We felt confident knowing that whatever requirements we submitted in our final plan would be carried out to the letter.

Finally, please send our thanks to the chefs and kitchen staff who prepared such wonderful food; also the waiting and bar staff who set up the barn and served our guests with such elegance and professionalism.

Best wishes

To Emily, 21st July 2019

Jono and I wanted to say a huge, huge thank you to all the team and to Summer for leading our whole day on Thursday – we couldn’t have been happier with how our wedding went and we are still on a high from it. You have been absolutely fabulous. We are on honeymoon for a week so will touch base with you on our return but had to send this quickly just to pass on our massive thanks and gratitude for what you have all done.

Summer – you were just incredible on the day – so calm and collected and thank you for keeping me in the loop all day with everything. You were a star. Thanks for being 120% excellent we are so, so pleased.

Lots of love,

Andrea Gallego and Steve Guest, 1st July 2019

We fell in love with South Farm the very first time we visited it and we had the most beautiful, fun, and perfect wedding there. We were extremely lucky with the weather and had the most stunning setting for an outdoors wedding. You will honestly not find a better venue or place to get married than South Farm, we could not recommend it more!
The venue is a magic, special and completely unique, you have to visit to completely understand it. We have had so many compliments from all our guests on how much they loved the venue, the food and they had such a great time!
The food is really exquisite, organic and local, and South Farm is very flexible to adapt to what you really want. The food, just like the service, couldn't be better. We had some challenges with some guests´s diet requirements and as Spanish I wanted to have some Spanish food too. South Farm were more than happy to help us and follow some of the recipes I provided. My family complimented this, and were surprised it was really good!
The staff is warm, friendly and they put a great amount of effort and thought into everything, means we didn't feel at all stressed! On the day Helga, our events manager, was more than amazing. She flitted about in the background and was always one step ahead of us. Thank you for being super fantastic! Thanks as well to Emily and Alexandra for making the organisation really easy and for coordinating all since day one and reply all our questions so efficiently.

We absolutely loved having our big day at South Farm and couldn't be happier looking back on it. I wish we could do it all over again.

I got married on 30th June 2019 and it was honestly the wedding of my dreams.

South farm went above and beyond and I honestly could not recommend them enough. An extra special mention to Summer who made sure everything ran smoothly she was so professional, caring and nothing was too much trouble, I cannot thank you enough! Also thanks to Emily and Alli for replying to my endless emails!

You will honestly not find a better venue or place to get married than South Farm - the food, staff and setting are just out of this world!

 

Jane Killock (Mother of Bride), 30th June 2019

Our daughter got married at South Farm on Sunday 30th June.

It was a perfect day, fantastic venue, great staff & unbelievable food. There was nothing we would have changed as it was the day we all hoped for & more.

Definitely recommend South Farm 100%, it's AMAZING!!

 

Jade & Kierren Bird x, 26th June 2019

To Helga,

Thank you for all of your help on our special day.

You went above and beyond to ensure our day went perfectly and we honestly can’t thank you enough.

Not only did you make sure everything was running smoothly in the background but you were always on hand to give us advice and answer all of our questions.

All of our guests had a lovely day and commented on how amazing South Farm is.

Thank you again for all of your help and guidance,

Love,

Grace and Guy x, 24th June 2019

Hi all at South Farm,

We just wanted to take a minute from the craziness which has been our amazing wedding and then straight off to Florida to say the biggest thank you to everyone at South Farm and a really special thank you to Helen who was our Event Manager on Monday!

We have both said so many times that we had just a perfect day and we honestly couldn’t have asked for better! Helen was an absolute wedding angel, who was all over the place, sorting everything and everyone out and just being so calm and in control! It meant we both totally relaxed and had the most amazing day!

We feel like you guys thought of every last little thing, even down to tidying the bridal suite before we went in (because I’m pretty sure it was carnage in there when we left it ). And we were just amazed at how amazing the garland looked in the Tudor Barn so a big thank you to everyone who sorted that, it sounded like quite a team! But it looked way better than when we put it on the Summerhouse so thank you!! Every single member of staff that was around was friendly and super helpful!

I feel like this has been a rather long email and I still don’t feel like we’ve said thank you enough! But I will say thank you one last time for making the most important day of our lives absolutely perfect, it was because of everyone’s hard work that we have the most amazing memories! I know you do lots and lots of weddings but on Monday it really felt like ours was the only one that mattered, it was so obvious that everyone just wanted it to be perfect for us (again special mention to Helen here!) and we are so so grateful for that!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Grace and Guy, 24th June 2019

To everyone at South Farm,

We just wanted to say a huge thank you for making our wedding day more perfect than we could have imagined! Every single member of staff was so polite, helpful and happy and went out of their way to make sure everything went smoothly! And of course a million thank you to our event manager Helen! You truly are a wedding angel and we can’t say thank you enough. We really appreciate all the effort put in by everyone! Because of you all we have lovely memories of a perfect day!

Lots of love Grace & Guy

Lydia and Sam, 23rd June 2019

To Alli & the South Farm team,

Thank you so much for all your help in the run up to and on our big day! Everyone was so helpful and Alli made everything on the day so easy and stress free. All our guests are still talking about how beautiful South Farm is, we really did have the most perfect day.

Natalie & Eoin, 22nd June 2019

Dear Emily, Summer and the whole South Farm gang,

Morning Emily,

I hope you are well on this wet and windy day.

We have been bunkered down at a spa since Saturday, but will sadly return to real life today.

We wanted to say a huge thank you to the whole team at South Farm, and especially yourself for guiding us all through the day.

So many of our guests were amazed by the venue and really loved the food which is the exact reaction we hoped for.

Thanks so much,

 

Mr & Mrs Gilbert, 2nd June 2019

Hi Becky,

We wanted to thank you all for giving us an amazing wedding day, we loved every minute of it – all of our guests said what a beautiful place.

We have only this week gone back to work after our honeymoon which was amazing too.

Please thank Emily and everyone, can't thank you all enough.

We will send a few photos that people have taken as we haven't got ours yet.

Love to all,

 

Ashleigh & Dan Smith, 31st May 2019

We had our dream wedding at South Farm ♥️

This was the first and only venue we visited, need I say anymore. Absolutely everyone and everything was amazing and we cannot recommend South Farm enough.

All of our guests were blow away and we are still receiving compliments!

Everyone who works at South Farm should be so proud to be part of such a well-oiled machine. You made our wedding perfect in every way and we would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Natalie Moody, 27th May 2019

We had the best day we could possibly ask for at South Farm. The staff, food, everything was just simply amazing. Thank you so much to the whole team ❤

 

Natalie and Craig xxx, 27th May 2019

Hello,

Thank you all so much for making our day as perfect as it was.

The whole team have been amazing from booking the venue all the way to the big day.

The food was amazing and Becky did such a good job making sure everything ran smoothly, I couldn't have been happier with the day.

Thank you all again,

Lydia and Jordan x, 25th May 2019

Cannot thank Summer and all the staff at South Farm enough. We fell in love with South Farm the very first time we visited and could never have imagined our wedding day to be as perfect as it was. The running of the day was faultless, the food was incredible, the staff so friendly and helpful and Summer was the most helpful and organised event manager on our big day.

We have had so many compliments from all our guests on how much they loved the venue and had such a great time! We were extremely lucky with the weather and the grounds at south farm are so beautiful.

We also took South Farm’s advice and hired DJ Gary for our evening entertainment and can honestly say I have never seen a dance floor so full! Thank you all again we wish we could do it all over and over again!

Love,

Alex and Chris (and Daisy) xxx, 23rd May 2019

We had such a beautiful day – it exceeded both our expectations and so many of my friends and family commented on how relaxed they felt and how much they enjoyed it. It really was the most beautiful setting and we were so lucky with the weather.

Lots of people commented how great you were at keeping water on offer and refilling water jugs which they valued especially due to the hot weather and they commented on how good you were at the little details e.g. my friend had a tickly cough during the ceremony and someone handed her a glass of water which was exactly what she needed and was very grateful for.

When you all do this day in and day out it might be that occasionally someone could feel fatigued but we both felt like everyone there loved their jobs and treated everything with care and made it all feel so special.

I would wholeheartedly recommend South Farm to anyone and look forward to coming back to visit.

Thank you so much,

Nicola and James, 18th May 2019

Dear Emily,

Thank you so much for everything you and the South Farm Team did for us on our Wedding Day. We really did have the best day ever, and you made sure that it ran seamlessly for us and we are so grateful.

Kasia & James, 3rd May 2019

Thank you so much for making our big day run so seamlessly and superbly well.

One of the reasons we choose South Farm is because we could see you are a well-oiled machine and care about all the little details that are so important to things running well. This all proved to be the case on our big day and we were delighted with how it all went with no problems at all.

Our guests were very complimentary of South Farm, the venue itself and the running of the day. People loved the food and we had many compliments about the food with one guest saying it was by far the best wedding food he had ever had.

 

Mike & Lotty, 27th April 2019

Hi Christine,

Thanks for your email, and a massive thank you to everyone at South Farm for making our day so special, we absolutely loved it.

The organisation, professionalism and attention to detail was something else and we couldn’t have wished for a better venue to host our wedding celebration.

 

Lotty & Mike Lewis, 27th April 2019

To the wonderful Team at South Fam,

We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for providing us with such an incredible and memorable wedding! Throughout all our planning stages up until execution of our wedding, the team have been absolutely amazing. We couldn’t have wished for more of a special day.

Best wishes from Lotty & Mike Lewis

Gemma & Mark xxx, 26th April 2019

To all at South Farm,

Thank you so much for everything!

We knew straight away that there was no other venue we wanted to our wedding reception at.

From start to finish you made the whole process exciting and stress free.

Your attention to detail is simply amazing and makes everyone – guests and Bridal Party, feel special.

We’re only sad that we can’t do it all over again, but hope to be back one day as guests.

Lots of love,

Maxine Hughes (wedding guest), 22nd April 2019

Attended a wedding here on Easter Monday. A fantastic venue, the day went without a hitch due to the fantastic organisation at the venue. Would recommend. The wedding breakfast was wonderful and catered for all dietary requirements. The gardens were lovely to wonder around during the day.

 

Mrs & Mrs Ferrari       , 20th April 2019

To everyone at South Farm,

South Farm is such a beautiful venue and we feel privileged to have had our wedding day there. Thank you for helping everything run so smoothly on the day. Thank you also for the fantastic food – everyone said it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had!

Love Kim & Stefan

 

 

Ellise & Ryan, 18th April 2019

Hello South Farm,

Ryan and I would like you all to know how thankful we are to the team at South Farm. Our special day was an absolute dream - all we could have hoped for and more. If we didn't know any better, we would have thought South Farm had organised the absolute gorgeous weather we had last Thursday too! There really aren't enough words to express our gratitude to everyone involved in the smooth running of the day, but in particular a HUGE THANKS to Emily who supported us in planning and organising and Summer in her friendly and highly skilled management on the day itself. We really wish we could repeat the day every year!

We will be trying our absolute best to convince any newly engaged friends to book with South Farm so we get to come back!

All the best to the phenomenal South Farm team,

 

Shauna & Jay Nash, 17th April 2019

We cannot recommend South Farm highly enough! All the way from booking our wedding with them over a year before, up until after our big day their customer service was faultless and they made everything so personal!!

Our day was everything we could ever have dreamt of and the staff were incredible – particularly Helga who ensured everything went to plan and was perfect. The venue speaks for itself – it’s absolutely stunning and so unique.

Memories we will cherish forever thanks to South Farm and all its amazing staff! We can’t thank you enough!

 

Reb and Arthur Desbois, 15th April 2019

Dear Emily, Summer, Helen, Alli and everyone else at South Farm!!!

Firstly, THANK YOU SO MUCH for such an amazing day back in April! The wedding was absolutely incredible and we are still reeling from the efforts, professionalism, and ease from the South Farm Team on the day! We wouldn't have changed a single moment and are so grateful to you all for making this special day so special! Helen, you were so awesome and thank you for making our friends and family so welcome!!! They all loved it, and have not stopped talking about the wedding, or South Farm since!

I also have to say how wonderfully helpful and supportive you have all been throughout, especially Emily and Alli, and thank you for all of your patience, advice and good humour throughout! Your supplier's list is incredible, and in using Sarah for Hair and Makeup, Gary for Music, Bea for Photography, and Gray's Coaches made the day so simple and easy! They are all fantastic at what they do, and we felt so supported throughout! This really is down to your organization and oversight, and is truly impressive...so thank you so much again!

Bea has just sent through the photos from the day and is keen to share them with you too. Please feel free to use any that you would like to, there are some truly stunning photos of the house and buildings! I'm also so happy Bea managed to get so many lovely photos of the little bits and pieces I made for the wedding! I am actually trying to set up a wedding design company, and hope that it will be OK to use some of the photos for my website too. Maybe a bit pie in the sky at this moment, but going for it, and hope to launch in the next few months!

Words can't describe how wonderful the whole process has been, and how happy Arthur and I are that we chose to get married at South Farm! Sincere thanks to EVERYONE for all of their efforts, and please do pass this on to the incredible team you have!

I feel that I can't stop saying thank you, and never will...so THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

All the very best,

Tom & Sophie Redman x, 12th April 2019

Dear South Farm,

We cannot thank you enough for helping us to have the most incredible, magical wedding day at your beautiful venue!

Everybody at South Farm was ever so friendly and professional and no question or request was too big of an ask. Our entire planning process was made as straight forward and stress free as possible and we both really enjoyed the experience :)

I cannot believe how calm and relaxed I felt on the morning of our wedding, largely due to the meticulous itinerary that South Farm provide. This paved the way for an immensely enjoyable and fuss free day – everything we could have hoped for!

We both made an effort to pop into the kitchen and give our heartfelt thanks to Will, who created a personalised main course for us, please pass on our appreciation once more!

Fabulous setting, food and entertainment – South farm, you were perfect!

Love,

Good evening James,

I am emailing to congratulate you and your team for providing a wonderful venue for our Son, Richard and his new bride Amber. The location and buildings are stunning and efficiently organised.

The food and service of your staff is to be highly commended and Emily provided a friendly but extremely efficient helping hand to the proceedings and no request was too much trouble for her.

We had an amazing day so please pass on our kind thanks to all the staff who made it such a fabulous occasion.

Kind regards

Love Mr & Mrs Nolan, 22nd March 2019

Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone at South Farm for making our wedding day so special. It was just perfect! Wish we could do it all over again. Everything about South Farm is just amazing. Helen was just brilliant on the day taking away all the stress and making sure it all ran smoothly.

Cara & Martin, 16th March 2019

Hi,

Martin and I wanted to message to extend a huge thank you to all the amazing team at South Farm for our wedding on the 16 March. We knew the moment we walked round South Farm it was the venue for us, in both the run up to the big day and the big day itself you didn't disappoint... The day excelled all of our expectations and this wouldn't have happened without each and every one of you.

We felt incredibly looked after on the day, the food was amazing and no request was too much. I don't know how you all do it day in day out and still manage to deliver each wedding in the grand scale that you do – speechless.

No words will ever cover how much we would recommend you to anyone and everyone looking to tie the knot.

If you can, enjoy some well-earned rest and thanks again for the memories that will last a lifetime.

Kindest Regards

 

 

Mr & Mrs Norman, 8th March 2019

Dean Helen & all at South Farm,

Thank you all so much for making our day so perfect! It was everything we dreamed of and more!

Helen you did a fantastic job running our day, it was seamless!

Guests commented on the beautiful food, venue and how lovely the staff were!

Thank you all so much,

Love,

 

Mike Burchett, 8th March 2019

Dear South Farm,

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to you and your staff for a fantastic wedding on Friday between Colin Norman and Charlotte Winch.  I am Charlotte's Step-Dad and was helping with the organisation/announcements on the day. Your venue is extremely well run and the events on Friday could not have been better. Your staff were extremely helpful and friendly, and I wanted to say a special thank you to Helen, the Event Manager for the day.  She made the day run very smoothly and I was very disappointed to not thank her personally before she left, so please would you pass on my personal thanks to her.

I'm so glad that Colin and Charlotte chose your venue for their special day. They were so happy with the result – the venue is not only unique, but made the day extra special for them.

Thanks again!

Sigrid, 2nd March 2019

Wonderful in every way – beautiful, fantastic food, superb organisation, very personal and informal, so welcoming and comfortable. A magical place far away from stresses of ordinary life. We absolutely loved South Farm from the first time we arrived in the flower-lined fairy-lit drive, didn’t need to look anywhere else, it was perfect and accommodated all our complex multi-generational requirements without any problems. The tasting evening was one of the best nights out we’ve had! Thoroughly recommend, South Farm is very special.

Sigrid & Derek, 2nd March 2019

Hi Summer,

Can we say a huge THANK YOU to you all for making sure our special day was just that. You run such a fabulous and impressive place, every bit was a delight - food, venue, service, accommodation, the whole package. All of our guests commented on how lovely South Farm is, and also how comfortable, easy going, informal and welcoming.

Helga was an awesome Event Manager, I just did as I was told and all was well, it was so nice being looked after so closely the whole day! We will treasure our memories for ever.

We love South Farm and will miss our (frequent in my case) visits.

Warm wishes to all the team,

Rosie De Courcy Robinson, 23rd February 2019

What a wonderful venue – exceptional food and beautiful surroundings are further enhanced with the immense customer service and friendly approach the South Farm team adopt. They will be guaranteed to make your special day even more special than you can possibly imagine.                                                                        

 

Carole and Steve (Bride’s Parents), 17th February 2019

Hi,

I just couldn’t let a day go by without thanking everyone for making Annie and Charlie’s wedding such a very special/brilliant day

From when we came to visit you and book, I felt we were in safe hands. Everything was taken care of. On THE day Helen, our Events Manager for the day, was excellent looking after everyone and everything, literally - thank you Helen.

We all certainly enjoyed the whole day - but the comments from our friends have been amazing too. The food - fabulous, setting / venue – brilliant; I could go on. Suffice to say that we will not hesitate to highly recommend your colleagues and venue.

THANK YOU again for making it such a special day for Annie, Charlie and us too!!

Best wishes,

Joe & Katie, 16th February 2019

Hi Emily and team,

Hope you had a good weekend.

We had the perfect day at South Farm for our wedding. We had high expectations from when we first visited, and it surpassed even those. There was no job too small for the excellent team leading up to the day. Your organisation and responsiveness to our many questions and requests made our preparations so much easier.

On the day, our Event Manager, Jane, was extremely professional and fantastic at helping everything run smoothly. We were really impressed that every little detail was taken care of – from liaising with our florist and DJ to thoughtfully saving some canapés for the hungry Bride and Groom!

On the subject of food, the three course meal was a real highlight of the day. Many of our guests, completely unprompted, said that it was the best wedding food that they had ever eaten (and we agree!). Even the breakfast the next day for our overnight guests was delicious!

Thank you for making it a truly special, unforgettable day. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend South Farm to any couples who are looking for a beautiful wedding venue.

Best wishes,

Kerrie Howard, 11th February 2019

I honestly don’t know where to start but South Farm is the most amazing venue! Despite all the weddings they hold they are so organised and think of every little thing. Special thanks to Emily and Alli who helped us with the organisation and planning and a huge thank you to Helen our Event Manager on the day for being just so fantastic! The team really are amazing! They go above and beyond to give you the most individual day.

You guys are all incredible!

Gemma Chaffey, 7th February 2019

Literally THE best place to hold your wedding.

The venue is stunning and beautiful without having to do anything to it, it’s rustic charm brings something extra special to your day. The added bonus of all the animals just makes this venue so unique- we can’t wait to see our photos with the piglets!

All the staff at the venue are incredible, literally cannot do enough for you.

For our wedding they went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and ran smoothly due to allergies and pregnancies- literally had nothing to worry about.

Everyone is so friendly and will help in any way you need them to, or will sit back and allow you to just get on with it.

Food was exquisite and all our guests complimented on how good it was.

We couldn’t recommend this venue highly enough!

Gemma & Lee xx, 7th February 2019

Hi all,

First of all we just want to say thank you so much for everything you did for us on the run up to the wedding and on the day- you were all amazing!!

You all literally went above and beyond to help with our nut allergy making sure everything was nut free, accepting that you couldn’t serve certain alcohol, changing the food, checking the soaps and lotions, making sure your staff hadn’t eaten nuts- this was literally just amazing and I personally really can’t thank you enough for all of that, you made it so comfortable for me and my sister knowing that she was safe and could just enjoy herself, so thank you.

Thank you for allowing us to do something new that you’d never done before with the shot table when everyone walked in, the way you worked with me to make this how we wanted was just brilliant, it was exactly how we wanted, and thank you to the staff for setting that up, it was perfect!

Helga we wanted to thank you for making our day amazing- you were fantastic on the day!! We literally had to worry about nothing with you running our day, you made it all seam free and problem free. You made sure we always had what we needed, honestly you made the day perfect, so thank you so much.

We had the best day and morning after, so thank you all very much, we absolutely loved our wedding day and was so sad when it was over- we wanted to do it all again!

We couldn’t recommend you enough to other people and I know everyone that came to our wedding said how stunning the venue was.

Thank you so much once again- we had an amazing day and that was all due to you and your amazing team at South Farm

Thanks,

Don Simpson (Father of Bride), 19th January 2019

It really was everything we hoped it would be and your help, patience and expertise were hugely appreciated. Emily – thank you for everything you did on the day to ensure it all ran smoothly.

Rochelle and Tom  , 14th December 2023

We're still basking in the glow of what can only be described as the best and most magical day of our lives. From the very first moment we stepped foot on the grounds to the last dance of the evening, our experience at South Farm was nothing short of phenomenal.  

 We would like to extend our gratitude to a few exceptional individuals who played crucial roles in crafting our unforgettable celebration: 

Our journey with South Farm began with a warm welcome from Summer, the first friendly face we encountered during our initial visit. After our appointment, we looked at each other in the car, and without uttering a word, we both knew this was the venue of our dreams.

Emily, who conducted our planning meeting, deserves special mention for putting our minds at ease and building excitement for our big day. Her meticulous attention to detail and responsiveness to our queries laid the foundation for the remarkable experience that followed.  

 A heartfelt thank you to Nikki, our Event Manager, whose exceptional efforts left us in awe. Nikki's genuine care and impeccable timekeeping ensured our day unfolded flawlessly. Her commitment to ensuring every aspect of the celebration ran seamlessly contributed immensely to the overall success of our special day.  

You Christine, and Evie, always so helpful and responsive over email, making our planning process seamless. No query was too big or small for you, and your dedication to ensuring our vision came to life did not go unnoticed.

Finally, the incredibly talented chefs deserve accolades for the amazing spread they prepared. We received countless compliments from our guests, with some declaring it the best wedding food they've ever tasted. Considering we've got quite a fussy eaters in our family – not a single complaint was heard!

South Farm has etched itself forever in our hearts, thanks to the collective efforts of every staff member involved in making our day perfect. From the warm greetings from the housekeeping team when I first arrived, to the attentive care throughout the day, everyone at South Farm went above and beyond to ensure not only our happiness but also that of our families, friends, and suppliers.

We wholeheartedly recommend South Farm  😊 

Tracy - TME Photography Herts, 13th December 2023

My heartiest thanks to you and the entire South Farm team for welcoming me with open arms at Heather and Ross’ wedding on 13th December. I was truly touched by your hospitality and the genuine warmth throughout the entire experience. 

Every interaction I had with the South Farm staff was marked by impeccable manners, genuine smiles, and a willingness to go above and beyond to make my visit memorable. Their enthusiasm and passion for South Farm were infectious, and their dedication to providing exceptional hospitality was truly remarkable. 

These gestures, coupled with the overall warmth and care extended to all guests, created an atmosphere of genuine hospitality that left a lasting impression. 

Thank you again for extending your warm welcome and for creating such a special experience for me. I will be sure to cherish the memories of my time at South Farm and will highly recommend you to others. 

With utmost appreciation, 

 

Yasmine & Steve, 5th December 2023

Thank you so much for hosting our wedding at your beautiful venue! It was the most perfect day! 

Everything went so smoothly & looked beautiful. We have already recommended you to loads of people! We have to come back and visit at one of your events! Until then xx 

 

Emma & Charlie, 4th December 2023

Thank you so much from us both for all that you did for making our wedding day such a success! The whole planning process was so enjoyable, we have enjoyed coming in for the meeting, seeing the beautiful venue again and saying hi to everybody. 

The decorations, the food (shout out to the kitchen) the smooth running of the day… was all fantastic and we are so grateful. 

Thank you Nikki for managing us all so fabulously - mostly keeping the boys on track!. It was really a surprise to see the bubbles back in the room later on. 

Thank you so much for all that you did!  

Nicole & Kayleigh, 11th November 2023

We are writing to express our deepest gratitude for the extraordinary efforts and impeccable execution that made our wedding day an absolute dream. From the outset, the vision we had for our special day was not only realised but exceeded by your dedicated and talented team. 

Every detail, no matter how small, was executed with precision, and we couldn't be more appreciative. Our guests and family had an incredible time and felt exceptionally well taken care of. We are confident that our wedding day will be a topic of conversation for many years to come. 

We want to extend our special thanks to Michelle, who played an integral role in ensuring the smooth flow of events. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and warm character put us at ease throughout the entire process. Michelle went above and beyond to meet our needs, calming our nerves and ensuring that every moment was perfect. We believe her outstanding contributions deserve recognition, and we would like to express our gratitude personally. 

A heartfelt thank you is also due to the talented chefs who delighted our guests with the delicious pies. The food was not only a highlight but also became a talking point among our guests. We appreciate your flexibility and willingness to adapt to our preferences, making the dining experience truly special. 

The entire team, from planning meetings to the execution on the big day, made sure that everything ran seamlessly. The picturesque grounds, beautifully set tables, enchanting lights, and overall ambiance created an atmosphere that can only be described as perfect. Our wedding day was flawlessly executed, and everyone went above and beyond to make it truly magical. 

We can't thank you enough for your hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence. South Farm will always hold a special place in our hearts for making our day not just memorable, but simply perfect. 

 

Katy & Donald, 9th November 2023

We would like to thank ALL OF YOU! Every single of one of you have been amazing since the start, all communications were great and made our life so much easier. Everyone is so friendly and helpful, even our guests love you all!  

Thank you to your kitchen team because everything was fantastic and delicious😊 A very special thank you to Hayley as well, the day was very smooth and she fed us really well!! We love her so much when we saw her bringing us a drink or a plate of food!! 

South Farm was the first and only venue we have been to and we knew we have made the right choice. We wouldn’t have this amazing wedding without you guys! 

Thank you once again :) 

 

Rich & Megs, 6th November 2023

Dear Helen and the whole team at South Farm 

What can we say … you have been amazing from start to finish and helped us create a magical day which we never wanted to end. Your helpfulness, kindness and meticulous planning and communication left us relatively stress-free throughout the whole planning phase. The staff on the day were incredible and so many guests commented on how friendly and conscientious they were. 

South Farm will always hold a special place in our hearts. 

With love Rich & Megs 

 

Emily & Owen, 5th November 2023

We wanted to say a massive thank you for making our day so special. We had so much fun and couldn’t have hoped for a better wedding day or smoother running of affairs.  

Michelle was utterly wonderful and made us feel very relaxed and reassured whilst also bringing a really positive and fun energy. The food was incredible, as many of our guests commented on the day. We absolutely loved the dessert with the pistachio ice cream (thank you!) and also really appreciated how your chefs’ accommodated dietaries without compromising on the flavour or quality of the food.  

Whilst South Farm is a stunning venue in itself, it was great to be able to relax knowing we were in the hands of true professionals; it’s clear all staff work hard to ensure everyone having a good time and we can’t thank you enough! 

Reverend P. Spillett, 25th October 2023

Dear Nikki and the whole team at South Farm,

South Farm Wedding Venue more than lived up to expectations for our Grand-Daughter´s wedding! The beautiful grounds, so well maintained, were a joy to walk around with our younger Grandchildren, showing them the pigs/piglets, sheep too, and the ponds, providing also a fantastic settings for copious photos of the happy couple, family and friends. Now the professional photos are available, I am in awe of the Gardening teams attention to detail, hard work, and skills. The Parrot suite was amazing, reminding us of the wild parrots flying in and around our village, The high standards of the House staff could not be faulted in anyway, not that we would, no, everything and more made our stay comfortable, thank you all so much! As for the wedding, the ceremony, every aspect prepared to a superb and thoughtful standard. The celebratory meal after was brilliant, as a coeliac I was amazed at the person centred attention - ensuring no cross-contamination in my Gluten Free dietary needs, this, for me, does not happen often when away from home, and, for once, I was able to relax and eat with confidence indeed! The Catering team are a credit to South Farm, and staff attending behind the scenes and front, I could see from the top table, all family and friends were enjoying the very high standards reached, not only for the celebratory meal, the evening one too, the Paella was in the class A plus plus!! With-out exception all staff around the grounds, and with-in each area inside the Venue, were so friendly, we felt like living the dream! Our Grand-Daughter and Grand-Son certainly could not have surpassed South Farm when selecting their wedding venue, no, not for many miles!! From our hearts to each of you at South Farm, thank you very much indeed for all your amazing care to detail, hard work and setting such high standards! A truly remarkable Venue, a superb experience and now a memory we shall never forget. I highly recommend South Farm. 

Grace & Ethan, 10th October 2023

Thank you so much to all the team especially to Evie our co-ordinator on the day! We had the most amazing day and several guests said how amazing all the staff and space was. All the food on the day was also fantastic! It was such a perfect day we had the best time as did all the guests! Huge thank you to Evie for all the help and for keeping the day running smoothly! 

 

Courtney & Ryan, 4th October 2023

Thank you so much for making our wedding day so special. We literally could not have asked for any more. You are all amazing! 

 

Suzie & Dan, 29th September 2023

Dan and I just wanted to send a quick email to say thank you so much for making our wedding day run so smoothly – everyone we’ve spoken to said that it was a gorgeous venue, and they all commented that it was the best wedding food they’d ever had.  To be honest, the marinated beef was the talk of the night????
Helen did a fantastic job of quietly and calmly ensuring that everyone was where they needed to be at the right time – always available if we needed her, but never intrusive. The same applies to all the South Farm staff – it’s really impressive how everyone just quietly comes in to do their role, and disappears again without intruding. An incredibly professional but personal team!
Basically it was the most perfect day, and even the weather played ball
Thank you all again

Emma & Jack, 20th September 2023

I would like to thank you and your team for making Emma and Jack's wedding so perfect. Evie was absolutely incredible and ensured we had everything we could possibly need. Her organisational skills were second to none and she kept us very calm.
Everyone said South Farm was so beautiful and they couldn't get over the food, they all said it was the best food at a wedding they had ever had.
A big thank you from us!

Chloe & Cody, 18th September 2023

South Farm was the perfect venue for our special day. When we saw it the first time we knew it felt right - not only was it the undeniable beauty of the venue itself but it was the feeling we got from every single person working at South Farm. The team made us feel so at ease, were friendly and professional and attention to detail was second to none. We can’t thank you all enough South Farm

Mr & Mrs Perella-Askew, 16th September 2023

We just wanted to say the biggest thank you to Michelle for Saturday. It really was the best day of our lives. We are sooooo grateful for everything you did. You were always there, one step ahead with everything you thought we would need. The day ran so well and all our guests commented on what an amazing venue it was and how it was just the most fun from start to finish. Thank you as well for being so thoughtful with Megs, my parents are so grateful. Think my mum tried to message South Farm on Instagram to say a thanks to you.  The food was absolutely delicious. Just so happy with everything and we can't stop thinking about it.

Zoe & Neil, 14th September 2023

Thank you so much for everything you did before and on our wedding day, the whole team is amazing and everyone helped to make our day magical, we will never be able to thank you enough, the day was perfect and the memories will last a lifetime 
 

Tom & Sarah, 4th September 2023

We just wanted to say a huge huge thank you for making our day so special.
Helen you were fantastic, everything ran so smoothly and we were particularly thankful for the canapés and ice cream on such a hot day! Thank you
Thank you to everyone else at South Farm who has made our planning, set up, and day so much fun.  From Emily answering every email to Helen, Claire & Sue on the day, the Paxman family, and everyone else in between.
The wedding breakfast & all the food was incredible! A big thank you to the catering team.
Our guests did not stop telling us how perfect & pretty the venue was, how it was the best wedding food they had ever had and how amazing and friendly the staff were. We can’t thank you all enough.

Jess & Kane - Videographers, 2nd September 2023

We recently had the pleasure of filming Hope & Alister’s wedding at your beautiful property – I’m sure you know the story and we were drafted in last minute, but we were never made to feel like that! As soon as we arrived at South Farm, we were greeted with smiles and made to feel part of the team/gang/family and we wanted to say thank you for that.
The property itself is absolutely stunning but a huge thank you to the fabulous Hayley for keeping us up to date on everything that was happening throughout the day, making sure we were fed and watered and ensuring we were happy and having a good time – and we weren’t even guests at the wedding! It was very clear to us that the team at South Farm love weddings and love their job roles and it was an absolute joy to work with all of you along with the very talented Bea!
Thank you for the most wonderful day, and hopefully we will see you all again soon!
Jess & Kane xx

Sophie & Amir, 30th August 2023

We would like to say a massive thank you to each and everyone of you from when we first looked at the venue up till the minute we left this morning. You have all been amazing nothing was too much! I would like to say a bigger thank you to Evie she was absolutely amazing. Everything was on point she made both myself and Amir feel stress free and at ease immediately. She was brilliant with each and everyone that attended. Our compliments to the chefs and the people serving the food there was so many compliments and it was amazing. You all made the day perfect and we wouldn’t have had it any other way.
Thank you all again

Sophie & Matt, 18th August 2023

We cannot honestly thank you enough for our amazing wedding on Friday.
Everything was what we had hoped for and more.
I know you can’t control the weather but even that played ball just in time too!! I was so determined to have the ceremony outside and it didn’t disappoint!
Our own expectations and of our guests were far exceeded! Everything ran smoothly from start to finish and the food was so very delicious and left our guests wondering how the kitchen was able to deliver so many plates and the quality and temperature be perfect; so please pass this onto chef and team.
Helen you were simply awesome, so super helpful, patient and everything I needed and more!
Everyone left, including ourselves, totally in awe and very happy.
All those involved in various changes and admin were always helpful, polite and accommodating.
It was very clear how cohesive you all are as a team and this is another part of what makes South Farm so special!

Fran & Mat, 16th August 2023

On behalf on Mat and I, we just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and your team. We couldn’t have wished for a more perfect day - everything ran smoothly and from start to finish,it was amazing.
Can we give a huge shout-out to Hayley who looked after us and our guests amazingly on the day. She was as cool as a cucumber and conducted herself in a really professional manner, at the same time as making us feel at ease-hard to do when nerves are running high!
Another huge thank you to the kitchen team. We had so many compliments passed on  about the food - everyone savoured every mouthful and everything we ate was delicious.
Again, thank you all so much for making our day so perfect in every way.

Anna & Chris, 5th August 2023

We just wanted to say a massive thank you to all of the team at South Farm, especially Hayley for making our wedding yesterday so incredibly perfect. The day was absolutely faultless, it ran so smoothly and it was all down to you guys. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day and we received so many compliments about how kind, caring, helpful and professional all of the staff were. Everyone was so attentive and happy to help. We would recommend you all 1000 times over to anyone. The food was incredible so a huge thank you to the kitchen team too! This is the best wedding venue ever! Huge thank you again, it was everything we could have ever dreamed of and more.

Will & Jenni, 2nd August 2023

We just wanted to extend a massive THANK YOU for all of your help and support on our wedding day and in the lead up to it! We are so appreciative of everything you guys did for us. A massive highlight of wedding planning for us was the menu tasting and all of our guests commented how fantastic the food was! It really is outstanding!
We could not have imagined a more perfect venue to be married - everything was perfectly done and it really is the most magical and beautiful place. We were blown away with all of the staff's kindness and helpfulness to us - everyone we encountered made us feel so incredibly special.
In particular, we would like to send a special thank you to Hayley. She is a super woman! Hayley was amazing on the day and she did everything to take all of the pressure off us both and as a result we didn't have to worry about anything! Because of her we were able to enjoy the day to its fullest and she made it absolutely perfect! We cannot thank her enough for everything she did.
We would also like to send a big thank you to Phillip. Not only was he extremely warm and welcoming to us and all of our guests, but we are especially grateful to him for his friendliness towards Will's mum Sally. She was absolutely thrilled with her dried alliums and vegetable trug. It means so much that you made her time at South farm so relaxing and happy for her. She truly had the best time and we really appreciate you doing that for her.

Jess & Dan, 28th July 2023

We cannot thank you enough for helping us to have the most perfect day. Throughout our whole wedding planning process the one thing we never doubted was the venue !
On the day Helen made sure it ran like a military operation and catered to all our requests – like making a cheese less pizza for the groomsmen!
She offered advice and listened to us without ever rushing us and ensured we were always happy!
Our guests said the food was the best wedding food and steak they’d ever eaten and our groomsmen were sad there were no left overs for polishing off as a result! Aside from the food all our guests were so blown away by the amazing grounds and of course loved the pigs! We couldn’t have asked for anything more. It was utterly perfect!
Thank you

Charlie & Dom, 17th June 2023

Thank you so much for being the best wedding venue ever! We fell in love the spaces immediately and we’re still in love with it now!
We’re desperate for a reason to return! Particularly for some more of your amazing food.
Everything seemed to flow so smoothly and felt so calm and magical. We truly had the best day ever! Thank you Emily for coordinating our day- you were fabulous. Everything was fab.
Love and thanks

Kelly & Martin, 9th June 2023

Before we go away on our honeymoon we just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for making our wedding as perfect as it was on Friday (9 June).
From the moment we visited South Farm we knew it was the one and we could not have picked a more perfect wedding venue for our special day.
All the staff have been incredible from the get go but we would like to give a special thanks to:


 Jane, our event manager on the day. Your diligence and professionalism was second to none and you made us feel at ease from the outset. Nothing was a problem and everything ran as perfectly as it could.
The kitchen team. Wow!!! The food was absolutely incredible. We have had so many compliments about it from our guests!! We had a lot of dietary requirements but nothing was too big or a problem and our gluten free guests have even said this was the best gluten free food they had ever had at an event - they were blown away with it!
The waiting staff and bar team. Your team were such a credit to you. It was an extremely hot day and they worked tirelessly throughout making sure everyone was topped up with drinks and taking great care of our guests. They were all so friendly and thoughtful - really looking out for us - thank you.
The groundskeepers - the venue looked absolutely beautiful on the day and perfectly maintained.
The cleaning crew. The place is always spotless and whenever we have visited prior to our day the cleaning crew have always been so friendly and thoughtful, answering any questions and letting us have a look in rooms around them as they work. What a special team you have.
Emily for planning the day with us in January and running through our planner. You were fabulous!!
The wonderful smiley lady that runs and leads the breakfast who we have seen on many occasion (and have never quite caught her name). We've visited on a few occasions and she has always been exactly the same, happy, kind and helpful! She really looked after us the morning after our wedding and we are beyond grateful.

I am sure we have missed off more but honestly we are just so happy and still on such a wedding high!
We feel very sad we now don't have a reason to visit again haha!

Mr & Mrs Hench, 3rd June 2023

We had an absolutely incredible day and we are still on our cloud 9 bubble from this!
I’m sure you hear many brides and grooms say they had the perfect day, but with everyone at South Farms help it really was a little slice of perfection!
Leading up to the wedding Erica has been absolutely amazing! She is an absolute credit to south farm! During our planning meeting she helped us both feel so at ease and really helped us feel that south farm had our day under control! She even made sure to put special measures in place for my grandma which my entire family noticed and appreciated, thank you so much!
I (very silly of me) didn’t catch the lovely lady’s name who was cleaning the bridal suite, but, she was so lovely and kind on arrival and the next morning was so excited to hear how our day went which was lovely!
All of the lovely waiting staff were fantastic!! My granny was very impressed that when they cleared all the plates it was so quiet and seem less! We cannot thank you all enough as well as your fantastic bar staff who would have worked a long day to help us have our perfect day!! ????????
As for Michelle, if I could thank her every day for the rest of my life it wouldn’t be enough!! She was incredible on the day! She was 5 steps ahead of everyone, even my mum which can be a tricky job to do! Our day ran without fault down to her! Her calm and laid back attitude deffinatly helped me when I began to feel anxious over certain points in the day. She was always there with a calming voice saying that she had already sorted it and everything was in place! If you could please pass on mine and Hugo’s thanks to her! She was a fantastic wedding planner and she helped our perfect day come to life! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!!
Thank you to everyone at south farm! You really did make our wedding dreams come true!!

Hannah & Sam, 1st June 2023

Firstly, thank you SO much for yesterday to all the team at South Farm.
Everything was perfect and we loved every minute of it. The guests have all been telling us how amazing they thought the food was. Helen was wonderful and everything ran seamlessly.

Chloe & David, 27th May 2023

The last couple of days have been a total whirlwind but we'd been meaning to write an email to say a HUGE thank you to all the staff at South Farm for the most wonderful day.
I don't think we can put in to words how truly amazing it was. Everything ran exactly to plan and it was just the perfect wedding day.
We can't speak highly enough of everyone working at South Farm. From the first time we looked around the venue to the morning after the wedding, everyone has been fantastic. Michelle and Evie on the day ensured everything was taken care of, even things we hadn't thought of, and importantly kept us topped up with drinks throughout our busy day. Lots of our guests have commented on how attentive the staff were and how the meal service was seamless even though we had a meal choice. The food was all absolutely delicious!
The band we employed also wanted me to pass on their thanks to Michelle and the team who they said were legends. ☺️
Sadly one of our guests was taken ill after the meal, but the staff dealt with it very professionally. She was well looked after and medical assistance was called for her. We're grateful for this.

Jennifer & Matthew, 18th May 2023

You gave our daughter Jen & new son-in-law Matt the most amazing wedding day. The whole day was perfect in every way. Thank you so much

Emily & Ben, 13th May 2023

South Farm was the most perfect wedding venue, it's absolutely stunning rain or shine, 24/7 365! We had the most wonderful day filled with laughter and fun and everything flowed so smoothly and effortlessly, it was so lovely to not have to worry about anything. The food was just incredible as well, we had the fusion feast and I'm going to have to convince some more friends to get married at South Farm so I can have it again as it was all so delicious. All our guests commented on how great the venue, the staff and the food were. Particular thank you to James who looked after us all day and made sure everything ran smoothly!
We had DJ Gary in the evening who kept everyone dancing all night, the dance floor was full from the first dance to midnight and we barely left the dance floor as the music was just so great!
It was everything we had hoped it would be and more????

Jean Barcock, Guest, 28th April 2023

To the staff at South Farm
A big thank you to you all for your help to me at Leanne and Davids wedding
All of you went the extra mile, being kind and considerate to me in my weakness (heart problems). Providing me with glasses of water, offers of a blanket  (I was chilled from time outside), checking regularly on my wellbeing, escorting me to my seat at the table and getting food for me. Thus I wanted to write and thank you all.
It was a great blessing to me to be able to be able to attend and share Leanne & Davids celebration which was made possible by your care and support. Keep up the good work

Mr & Mrs Holland, 21st April 2023

We would like to thank you for making our day more perfect than we could have even imagined it ever being. From start to finish all your staff were so attentive, nice and professional and kept the day flowing beautifully. A big shout out to Helen for making the experience entirely stress free, we never felt stressed or rushed and were able to just enjoy the day. Thank you Helen and the rest of the team for all you did we had the best day.

Mark & Diane Saxton, 12th April 2023

We just wanted to say a huge Thank You to all the team and staff at South Farm for making Alice and Jordans wedding on the 12th April so very special.
From the first visit right through until we left the day after, everyone was so helpful and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. So many guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to and we felt exactly the same ourselves.
The venue is just so stunning inside and outside so the weather didn't spoil anything about the day.
Thanks again to you all.

Joe & Celia, 1st April 2023

Firstly, we just wanted to say thank you again. The day was really special, well-run and the food was delicious. All our guests had a lovely time and we’ve had comments that it was the best wedding people had been to (which is down to you guys!). It was our photographer’s first time at the venue and she also commented how well thought out everything is at South Farm. Please pass our particular thanks to Michelle who was a real star as event coordinator on the day!!

Adam and Sarah, 20th March 2023

I just wanted to thank everyone so much at South Farm for making our wedding so perfect.
Helen was fantastic at keeping everything on track without us ever feeling rushed.
There was a small panic in the morning that we might not be able to get married outside but you were so accommodating and set everything up so quickly just in case the registrar said yes. And she did! First outdoor wedding in Cambridgeshire this year, lucky we had a fabulous Icelandic registrar!
The grounds were stunning, as were all the event rooms and the accommodation, everyone has said it’s slightly bittersweet that it was such an amazing day but we can’t come back and experience the food etc.
And the food! What can I say other than it was impeccable, the canapés were delicious and everyone loved the fact they could have multiple choices for dinner, and could go up again!
My coeliac Auntie was so excited that she even got to have a baguette in the evening.
Our bartender (I’m so sorry I never got his name, he had dark hair and was maybe 30?)
He was serving us at dinner as well. He was brilliant, incredibly friendly, even checked he was making drinks to peoples liking!
Everyone working during our day were incredible, the few I spoke to were extremely helpful and attentive.
I think I’m running out of adjectives to describe how wonderful you all are, but everyone has had something nice to say about South Farm and most of the comments have been all different things people noticed or experienced.
All I can say is I could never understand why people would want to renew their vows but after our day at South Farm I’m sure it’s something we will be back to do!
Thank you all so much.

Felicity & Joe, 17th March 2023

I had the great pleasure of coming to South Farm for the wedding of my daughter (Felicity) and her now husband, Joe.
The wedding was held on March 17th & I would like to ask you to please pass on my thanks to everybody involved on the day. Everything was amazing! I would like to highlight the food in particular. This was by far the best food I have ever had at a wedding. In fact, it was probably one of the best meals I've had anywhere! Many others have made the same comments to me. Please pass on my sincere thanks to the chef(s) on that day and, of course, everyone else.

Stacey & Saul, 12th March 2023

South Farm is a great venue for Jewish weddings. Every one of our guests commented on what an amazing stunning venue it is and how it’s so different to the normal (London hotels) venues of most Jewish weddings.

We always knew we wanted something different and we could not be happier that we found South Farm.

It really is distinctly unique. And a special venue and will forever be special to Stacey and I now.

And not just the scenery and animals and the barns - the people as well. Everyone of you!!

 

Tanya & Oliver, 14th February 2023

I just want to say a massive, huge thank you for our wedding with you. It was just incredible from start to finish and surpassed our expectations by far! I knew when we first visited the farm that it was the place for us. The relaxed, homely atmosphere (alongside the wonderful aesthetic)  made us instantly fall in love. I didn’t, however, realise just how perfect our day would end up being.
I want to give an individual thank you to Hayley, who is clearly very passionate about her job and was just absolutely incredible. Nothing was too much effort for her, she took complete control of the day and we didn’t need to worry about anything! Honestly, I can’t thank her enough. She’s an absolute asset to you ☺️
From the little touches of the girls touching up my train and telling me I looked beautiful to someone always making sure I had a drink! It was just perfection and easily goes down as one of the best days of our lives.
All of our guests have absolutely raved about the venue,  staff and the unbelievable food (I believe you had enquiries from some of them ????) and many are still talking about it now!
Thank you for giving us the best possible start to married life. I’m just so happy we chose you and so sad it’s all over!


Charlotte & Andrew, 12th February 2023

The day was everything we had hoped for and more.
All our guests had a great time and they all commented on how beautiful the venue looked and how amazing the food was.
We have nothing but good feedback to give. It was so helpful having Hayley with us for the whole day, making the day run as smoothly as possible and allowing us to enjoy our special day. Also, having the wedding planning document with timings well in advance of the day helped us to understand how to day would work and so useful to share with the wedding party.  The food tasting was another particular highlight, allowing us to sample all the food on offer rather than having to choose blindly from the menu. Everyone at the event was extremely helpful and everyone was extremely accomodating when we asked about customising the starters. We are so grateful to everyone at South Farm for all the efforts on the day and leading up to it

Amelia & Jack, 21st January 2023

Thanks to everyone at South Farm for making our wedding day so amazing.
Thank you to Emily for getting all the details set into stone and for putting up with all the questions and awkward requests.
Thank you to Hayley for making the day run so smoothly and for keeping us in the loop at all times and for looking after us so well. Once I saw you had it in hand I wasn’t stressed at all.
Thank you to the chefs, waiting staff, cleaners and gardeners, everything you guys do makes the venue what it is. A truly amazing venue.
Everyone said how much they enjoyed it, and we think there were a few girlfriends giving hints!
Thank you all so much. Amelia & Jack

Andy & Holly, 31st December 2022

A HUGE THANK YOU for our incredible wedding on NYE 2022!!!! I cant actually get over what an awesome night it was and this is basically all down to the incredible organisation of you all.  We were so lucky to find you and wish you all the continued success of your wonderful business.
THANK YOU SO MUCH….
With all our love and so many thanks
Andy and Holly

Amelia & Jonathon, 9th December 2022

We just wanted to say thank you very much for making our wedding day so special. We really did have the most magical day – everything was perfect – all of our guests said how amazing the service was and everyone loved the food .
The sun even came out for us in December so we couldn’t have asked for anything more !
Special thanks to Helen for keeping everyone organised on the day and to Erica for her help in the lead up.

Mr & Mrs Wilkinson, 2nd December 2022

Firstly we would like to thank you ALL so so much for making our day so special.

We would also like to give individual thanks to:

Michelle for showing us around SF back in October 2020 and for all of your help from then onwards.
Emily for holding our planning meeting, helping us with ideas and going through every bit of detail to make sure we knew exactly where we were at with everything.
Helen for being our Event Manager on the day, you were absolutely amazing and we can’t thank you enough for all your help throughout our whole wedding day. We felt so relaxed and didn’t have to worry about a thing! You nailed it ????
Claire for greeting me and my bridesmaids in the morning, making us tea, coffee and answering all my random questions!
To the staff who got the Bridal suite ready nice and early so we could have a chilled morning while we got ready - that really helped the girls! We felt very relaxed and didn’t have to rush as we had plenty of time.
To all of the office staff for dealing with our questions, helping us finalise our planner and everything else over the last 2 years. We are very grateful for all the time and effort you put in to help us.
To all of the bar staff, chefs, catering staff, background staff, gardeners, front of house, every single one of you involved on the day - you honestly gave us the best day ever!! We haven’t got one single thing to complain about, we are so so happy with everything. The service was spot on, the food was incredible (could eat it everyday), the grounds are so beautiful, SF is amazing, the whole day was the most relaxed and fun day we could have asked for! We didn’t have to ask for anything. You all went above and beyond and we are truly so grateful.
And finally DJ Gary, a massive thank you for your fab set - we danced the night away with our family and friends - everyone was happy with the music and enjoyed themselves! You played exactly what we wanted and we would highly recommend you!!

We really can’t thank the team at SF enough, we appreciate you all and the effort that went into our special day. We are now hoping some friends or family members might get married at SF so we can come again ????!! You guys are the best and deserve all of your awards!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!! ❤️

 

 

Kirsty & Alan, 28th November 2022

I wanted to write an email to express our gratitude for helping organise and ensuring the best day of mine and Kirsty's lives.

The day couldn't have gone any better, the weather, the food, the venue. It was an utterly perfect day for us both and our families and I want to extend my gratitude to Hayley.

She was an absolute star and helped make sure the day went smoothly and was AMAZING. The chefs, the bar stuff, the house keepers, were all amazing and it is clear from every guest who commented on the amazing staff and venue.

I couldn't recommend South Farm more highly and a good friend who attended said that they will be looking at available dates for their wedding. Thank you all for making our most special day, as perfect as we could have ever have hoped.

Please extend our gratitude and comments to all of the team.

 

Sarah & Dan, 19th November 2022

Dan and I would like to say a big thank you for making our day so special on Saturday.

A few highlights of what made it so special and it starts with the wonderful Summer. Summer has always been so attentive, helpful but also so friendly and happy for us that she was truly like a guest (in my eyes) than our event manager! And I mean that in a she just felt part of the party as we bonded, not that she acted like a guest haha ????

The bridal entrance was smooth, the confetti shot, the group photo! The transition to the wedding breakfast, speeches and lastly the sparkler shot! At no point in the day was I worrying about the timeline of the day and at no point was anything missing! The waiting staff and the staff servicing the bedrooms were the kindest and so helpful. The food was absolutely delicious, we received so many compliments about how tasty and well put together the dishes were! Breakfast was also yummy and whoever set the horse barn up for breakfast, it was super cute and such a nice touch!

The grounds of South Farm are simply beautiful and we are so happy that we got to have our wedding there! Thank you so so so much!

Jennifer & Duncan, 14th November 2022

We just wanted to take the opportunity to say a huge thank you to the team at South Farm for the best wedding day we could have dreamed of on Monday 14th November 2022.

Firstly to the organisation team who always responded to our emails within a day. We felt reassured that the team knew what they were doing and had our best interests.

Thank you to the operation staff behind the scenes. The venue, bedrooms and gardens were so clean and beautifully maintained. It was lovely that everyone said hello during our visits and on the day. And the lovely chatty lady at breakfast who made sure no one went home hungry.

Thank you to the kitchen and front of house staff who produced wonderful food and drinks. So many guests commented on the taste and presentation. Also thank you for accommodating our dietary needs in an understanding way.

Finally a huge thank you to Hayley (whom everyone including my mother got confused with being me as we look alike and our mannerisms also similar, so I am told).

Hayley gave our first show round on the open day in January 2022. It was useful to walk around the venue and learn about the order of the day and the options available to us. Her warm and honest approach meant we booked literally the following day.

On the day of the wedding she was so calm and unflustered. Nothing was too much trouble. Many relatives commented on her professional approach and appreciative of her guidance throughout the day.

Our Yorkshire terrier Rosie was cared for like a princess, kept warm by the fire. Hayley even dried my toes with a hair dryer after walking across the damp grass for our photos.

We are forever grateful to Hayley, the rest of the team and all the recommended suppliers we used (Izzy Wild, DJ Gary, Julie Cambridge and Jon Spanyol).

Mr & Mrs Anderson, 14th October 2022

We just wanted to send an email to thank you for making Friday the best day of our lives.
From the first ever meeting we had with Michelle, we knew that this venue was something special, and that this was where we wanted to get married.
Following on from that first meeting, the support we have had from Erica at our planning meeting, Emily for the administration (and helping me sort out the favours!) and an extra huge thank you to Helen for being the most amazing coordinator. She was so professional, yet warm and friendly - she made sure everything ran smoothly and kept us in check when we were running behind schedule which was hugely appreciated, as I seemed to lose all concept of time on the day!
The hospitality team did an amazing job in turning the rooms around so quickly, you run a very tight ship! The chefs food was incredible, and it was a pleasure to thank them personally the next morning. The grounds looked amazing, the gardeners and team that care for the animals are unsung heroes, as we wouldn’t have such beautiful photos without their hard work. All of our guests said that the waiters and waitresses were so helpful and prompt, and I have had so many messages saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to. The breakfast in the morning was very appreciated after a few drinks the day before, and I am grateful to have received some extra hash browns, and an extra sausage for Matt (although perhaps that was meant to be a secret!)
We’re completely aware that wedding season in 2022 has been manic for the industry, just looking at the calendar I can see how booked up you are, and I am in awe of the team’s energy and dedication - I’m not sure how you do it! You have probably lost count of how many weddings you have seen, but you still made us feel so special and unique, and we are so appreciative.
South Farm will always hold a special place in our heart, and we will be recommending you to all of our friends and family.
Lots of love

Laura, 13th October 2022

Just wanted to send a quick note, to thank every single member of staff that was helping at our wedding yesterday, you were all amazing, and should be so proud of how smoothly and amazing you guys were, with making sure everything went just amazing.
Also a massive thank you to Summer who made our day totally stress free and just even more perfect so thank you so much.
We had so many compliments on the venue/food/barns and everyone said South Farm is just stunning so beautiful.
A massive thank you again
 

Karen & Peter - Bride's Parents, 8th October 2022

Just a short note to say thank you for all your hard work with planning and providing an awesome day for Sophie and Jacks wedding!! Everything about the day was perfect. Thank you

Sophie & Jack, 8th October 2022

I would like to say how fabulous the South Farm team were on Saturday, our wedding day was so amazing. Everyone was so kind and done such a great job. So many of the guests said to me "wow, what a venue!"
Erica was great the whole day and made me feel like nothing would go wrong, and even if it did she would be there to fix it.
Thank you all so much for making this day finally happen for us.
Again, thank you all SO much. I'll be making sure to tell all of my friends go get married at South Farm so I can hopefully return!

Robert & Sophie, 25th September 2022

We will absolutely be writing raving reviews and recommendations. We have absolutely nothing negative to say, the day went so smoothly and everyone at the farm could not have been more helpful and accommodating. All of the guests were blown away by the food and the venue, so we are very happy.
I would like to make a special mention of just how fantastic Emily was on the day. Took any potential stress away and made sure everyone was where they needed to be and did it all with a smile. We were both so impressed by her.
Once we have our photos back, we will of course send them over with the questionnaire.
Thank you all again, and we will be in touch soon.

Barry - Father of the Bride, 21st September 2022

I felt I had to write to say a massive thank you to all of your team for making my daughters wedding truly special. The attention to detail was absolutely first rate and throughout the whole day nothing was too much trouble. Every member of the team seemed to have a single goal of making the day perfect which they did with a smile and level of enthusiasm that I rarely encounter in the modern day service industry. Everyone I encountered was kind patient and helpful and this really made our day.
I very rarely put pen to paper but the exemplary service provided by the whole team was very much worthy of a huge thank you from myself. I will not hesitate to recommend both the venue and the team to family and friends in the future.

Juan, 19th September 2022

I shot Stefan and Sarah's wedding... and I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to all the team.
It was so hot, and everyone made sure I had water and was okay.  This was really appreciated.  So thank you.  Also, I didn't get a chance to say thank you to Helen...who also made sure I was looked after and fed.
I'm not used to be looked after so well.
South Farm just looked absolutely stunning and I can't wait to be back.
Please do pass on my thanks to your team!

Fiona & George, 10th September 2022

Dear Erica, Emily, Michelle & the whole South Farm Team
We would like to thank you for everything you did to make our wedding day all we’d hoped for and more. We really appreciated all of Michelle & Emily's support during planning & Erica did an amazing job on the day – everything went like clock work … except that pesky British weather ????  All of the staff were fab throughout the day  – many of our guests said so too!
Many thanks

Rebecca & Nicholas, 9th September 2022

Firstly, thank you so much for giving us the wedding day of our dreams, it was everything we've ever wanted and so much more. I cannot express just how amazing it was and we are so sad its over! From the show round with Phillip, to our planning meeting & menu tasting, to breakfast the morning after it was just perfect. Honestly if we could do it all again we'd be booking in a heartbeat!
All of our guests said it was the best wedding & venue they've ever attended. Everyone also said how amazing Michelle & the other staff were, and how everything ran so smoothly & efficiently, but yet so calm and relaxed. The food was outstanding, the service was impeccable, the surroundings were stunning, and DJ Gary & the hoof booth from your suppliers list were both absolutely perfect! And we got our outdoor ceremony, which was the icing on the cake.
From start to finish Michelle was exceptional, she really went above and beyond. She was kind, fun, professional, caring and considerate. We were both so so nervous and she really held us together, calmed us down, and was amazing with our 3 children, who absolutely loved her. Also during the meal my youngest knocked gravy all down my dress, Michelle jumped straight into action trying to save the dress and stop me from having a breakdown! She is just an amazing person inside & out, and such an asset to South Farm. Please pass on our gratitude and love to her. We cannot thank her enough.
We do not have one negative point/feeling from the day.

Kelly & Luke, 5th September 2022

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and the team at South Farm. We had such an great day and you all were so so amazing on the day and on the preparation before. Thank you for making everything so easy for us.
So many friends and family have said how amazing the venue is and especially the food.
Thank you again, we couldn’t of asked for anything more.

Izzy & Jevon, 3rd September 2022

Thank you so much for making our wedding day so fantastic. Erica was so helpful and ensured everything ran smoothly on the day. We had so many compliments on how nice the food and venue were -  we are sorry its all over!

Victoria & Tim, 30th August 2022

Both Tim and I wanted to express our thanks again for the most amazing day ever. We truly will never forget it, and we are forever saying we wish we could do it again and again all over just for the experience. It was literally the “best day ever”…

The attention to detail, food, atmosphere, just everything was “on point”. If anyone is looking for a venue, be it a wedding, business event, Christmas party then this is the place. From start to finish we were kept in the loop and treated 1st class.

Our guests still to date, talk on how our wedding was the best they have attended. From the food, the entertainment, the provisions, to the attention to detail and the atmosphere nothing was overlooked.

Thank you to everyone you are an amazing team ⭐️

Xxx

 

 

Lauren & David, 28th August 2022

Thank you  for making our day run so smoothly. We had the most incredible wedding at South Farm. We would do it all again in a heartbeat. Becky you were absolutely amazing and we was so lucky to have you as part of our day.
Thank you - lots of love

Jessica & Nicholas, 20th August 2022

Firstly, just a note from me to say thank you Michelle so much for looking after us all so fabulously yesterday. We had the most amazing day and everything was just perfect. Everyone said how fantastic you were and that you were so bright cheerful and calming.
South Farm is an amazing venue but it is only the special teamwork who make it a truly special occasion. Every member of the South Farm team were welcoming, happy to help and so attentive. A huge thank you to every single team member for looking after us all yesterday.
On behalf of Annette, Poppy, George and I can I say once again thanks so much for a day for us, Jessica and Nick to treasure

Jenna & Travis, 19th August 2022

There are not enough words that even begin to explain how over the moon we were to have our wedding day with you on 19/08/22. We were blown away by how seamlessly everything ran & how well cared for ourselves & our guests felt. We got so much positive feedback from guests and suppliers. Thank you for going above and beyond and for making our wedding dream a reality .

Joleene, 17th August 2022

I attended the wedding of Dominique and James yesterday and just wanted to say a huge thank you to yourself and your hard working staff!
The venue is beautiful, but it’s the attentive, hard-working staff and your team’s ability to cater to the ‘awkward’ guest like myself that really made it stand out to me.
Not once did anyone announce what foods I could or couldn’t eat, nobody made a big thing of naming me out loud to identify me; one quiet enquiry from myself about whether the sausages contained gluten and a dish of canapés appeared, suiting my requirements and the meal itself, not so different from everybody else’s that I obviously stood out - delicious.
Thank you, a huge thank you to all involved.

Gabrielle & Tom, 12th August 2022

Thank you ever so much! We had the most wonderful day - we were honestly thrilled with how everything went! We had so many compliments on the venue and the food.

Phillippa & Dave, 11th August 2022

After a day looking back at our wedding on Thursday (and recovering! ) we just wanted to say a huge thank you to EVERY member of your team.
From our first amazing virtual tour a year and a half ago to the morning after our big day every member of your team were just amazing! It’s really hard to put into words how unbelievable you all were/are. Everyone couldn’t do enough for myself and Dave and all of our guests. Everyone said how amazing not just the venue itself was but also the people who are part of the South Farm team.
There isn’t one thing we would change about anything, you went above any expectations we ever had. We felt so at home and relaxed about everything and that’s down to your superb team. What a family you all are.
We’d like to also personally thank Hayley who just went above and beyond in every way possible on our day. In a way that was just perfect for us, the little touches, the checking in, the looking after our family both the little ones and older ones! The passing us a drink whenever you thought we needed one…you just knew! It was like you’d known us for years! You are one amazing event manager but even more importantly to us it was your kind and caring nature towards us and our family and friends that just made our day the best day!
I’ve attached a few photos of our big day feel free to use,  but will also send you Bea’s when she’s got them. Also if you need us to review anything please do shout!
We are hopeful some of our friends will now get married and pick south farm so we can experience it all again! Fingers crossed!!
Sending lots of love to you all and thank you for making our day the best day of our lives

Jordan & Tom, 6th August 2022

Just a note to say a huge thankyou to you all for making our day the best day ever ! All we have spoken about for the last few days is our wedding day and how amazing it was – it was all down to you!
A very special mention to Michelle who did the most incredible job at making sure our day was as seamless as possible – we couldn’t have hoped for a kinder wedding planner.
We wish we could do it all again and will treasure this day & South Farm for a life time.
Thank you to an incredible team.

Emma & Chris, 25th July 2022

Thank you for helping us make our wedding the most memorable day of our lives .
We had the most wonderful and perfect day at South Farm, so thank you to everyone involved on the day and before! Helen was amazing and so helpful all day as were all the other staff we met, we never had to worry about anything. The food was stunning and got so many compliments from our guests, as did your beautiful venue. South Farm is magical and we know that it takes a lot of hard work so thank you!

William & Olivia, 20th July 2022

We had a fantastic day and thank you so much for everything as we quite literally couldn't have had such a perfect wedding without your team!
You'll be happy to hear we have absolutely no negative feedback at all! Absolutely everything from the venue to the food to the organisation and efficiency of the team was perfect - we'll be sure to leave a review at some point and I'm sure Liv will share some of the photos with your facebook page!
Our only regret is not being able to get married at South Farm again! Although you never know, some people renew their vows after a few decades right?

Louise, 20th July 2022

Just wanted to say thank you so much for your help on Sunday, it was very much appreciated!
We absolutely loved the venue, everyone was so polite and helpful, definitely the best venue I have worked at for my past 2 years in business.
Hoping to work with you all again soon!

Martin & Natalie, 18th July 2022

We just wanted to say a big thank you for hosting our perfect wedding.
Despite record breaking temperatures the team did a wonderful professional job.  Special thanks to Helen for managing the day, Philip for driving us to the lake (and doing donuts in the tuktuk) and Christine for all the help after the day. Emily, thank you for being in the office at 10pm the night before to handle last minute dietary requirements!

Ffion & Ben, 8th July 2022

Thank you so much for looking after us so amazingly & making our day so magical. We appreciate everything you did for us and our guests.
 

Chrissy & Neil, 1st July 2022

We’re just writing to thank you so much for making sure our wedding day was perfect. We absolutely loved it and kept hearing from guests that they loved it too. We felt very proud of South Farm, the staff and all the hard work that had gone into making it all happen.
In particular we wanted to mention the positivity of all of the staff we encountered. They couldn’t do enough for us and it came across that they really enjoyed working for South Farm and we just looked forward to hearing from them. It’s a lovely group of people you have working with you and we really enjoyed the whole process because of them.
The tasting session was a huge treat. It surpassed our expectations, and we couldn’t wait to get married after that! Amazing food, really lovely people, well organised. I think this is a real bonus when booking South Farm as you get a real taste of what your day will be like, which is comforting and exciting.
We also couldn’t quite believe the quality and taste of the food on our wedding day. Again, it went beyond what we had hoped and so many guests said it was the best food they had every had. Our uncles in particular are still raving about it at our family gatherings now! The quantity was perfect too, which was something my parents were a bit apprehensive about as my family have big appetites. Michelle completely put our minds at ease on that, so thank you for doing extra bowls of potatoes for us. We also realise now we needn’t have been worried at all about how pink the beef was :-) but she still let us request it to be cooked medium and we appreciate that.
The ceremony location itself was breath-taking. We both said the scenery was amazing (and beautifully kept) and we couldn’t have dreamed of it to be any better in terms of how we felt. We were just blown away with how beautiful and perfect it felt.
And we would like to thank Helen for being the perfect planner for the day. Friendly, organised, unflappable. Everyone really liked her, and she made us feel so well looked after. She asked just the right questions and made sure we had everything we needed. We can’t thank her enough for this. She did a great job of settling our nerves too.

Elana & Richard, 29th June 2022

Firstly thank you so much to you and the team (special shout out to Hayley for all her hard work on the day!) We have had nothing but compliments on how great the staff, venue and food were. You really did make our day fantastic and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Mark Fisher, 26th June 2022

I would like to take this opportunity to let you know it was an amazing day and the service, courtesy & professionalism of all the staff working on that day far exceeded my expectations.
Everyone who attended that day have expressed to me how wonderful the venue was and the quality of service.
 I would like to say a special thank you to Hayley as she was absolutely first class keeping everything moving & keeping me in the loop, nothing was to much trouble for her, I did mention her in my speech but did not get the chance to thank her personally later that evening, please pass my thanks to her.
 Can you give Gary (disco) my thanks for making the evening a really great end of a brilliant day, even if my dancing was not so brilliant.
 Can you also relay my thanks to the lady who sorted everyone with the breakfast the following morning, again great service.
Finally in my line of work I speak to hundreds of people through the year and you can be rest assured I will be recommending South farm for events and weddings.
For Simone & my daughter Natasha as they move forward in the marital life thank you all for helping with the PERFECT START.

Yufan & Andy, 24th June 2022

Thank you so very much for being a huge piece of the jigsaw that made our day just perfect.
We knew from the moment we laid eyes on the blue door (and when Liz handed us a goody bag with your free range eggs in it) that South Farm was the one for us. We’d seen a few other venues already, but with South Farm it simply just clicked into place .
A huge shout to Helen for making everything run so smoothly on the day ; to Emily, Becky, and Michelle for answering all of Yufan's silly questions in the lead up ; to your catering staff who whipped up the most delicious meal that our guests are still talking about it ; and to everyone else who keep all the cogs turning behind the scenes too . Your people are absolutely a credit to South Farm.
Thank you again for creating such a memorable day for us both.

Dave & Sophie, 17th June 2022

We just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone at south farm. Just saying those words doesn’t feel enough as what you guys have done in helping and pulling off the perfect day means absolutely everything to us.
We are still on cloud nine looking through all the photos and have been talking about the day non stop.
We would just like to give a special thanks to Michelle and Helen for being amazing with the wedding planning and running the day itself like clockwork. Amazing!

Roisin & Peter, 16th June 2022

We wanted to say a huge Thank You! For making our wedding day so perfect.
All of the team were fantastic, so kind and helpful. From the emails and phone calls before the wedding and on the wedding day.
Hayley was amazing! She put our minds at ease that the day was going smoothly and let us take in and enjoy our day.
We have had so much amazing feedback from our guest, they have told us how beautiful the venue is, how amazing the food was and fantastic the staff were.
We could not have asked for a more perfect day and that was because of everyone at South Farm!
 We will be recommending you to all. 

Elana & Jordan, 11th June 2022

On behalf of our whole family I want to thank you for being such a steller organiser for Elana’s and Jordan’s wedding. Everything about the venue was excellent – and in fact exceeded my expectations (…. The food !!!). I felt that everything was secure in your hands and that meant that I could relax and really enjoy the day. You were absolutely first class.

Nicola & Daniel, 8th June 2022

Firstly we cannot thank you all at South Farm enough for your communication and support throughout our whole booking/arranging experience. You all have helped to make it stress free and enjoyable. Although we can’t quite believe it is over we are over the moon with the outcome of the day. It truly was everything we wanted it to be and more. Erica was absolutely amazing on the day, thank you so much! South farm is so breathtaking and the most perfect venue, we have had so many compliments from our guests. Again thank you so much for everything.

Abby & Andrew, 5th June 2022

South Farm was just perfect for us, such a relaxed feel at a stunning venue. The whole day was perfect. Of course we could of had slightly better weather so we were able to get married outside and we were hoping we would get some little piglets but these things didn’t stop us having the best day ever!
Special thanks to Hayley our event manager on the day, nothing was too much trouble and she made us feel as special as you should do on your wedding day. She was there to make sure we were happy every part of the day and she definitely did that 100%! All of our guests said how stunning the venue was and how amazing the food was!
Also thank you so much for getting the bridal suite ready early for me to get some pictures in the morning, that really helped a lot!
Even some of our suppliers have mentioned to me how lovely you all are and how accommodating you were at helping them set up and directing them in the right place etc. I used to be a wedding planner myself so I know things like that go a long long way in this industry so thank you for that.
We had a brilliant day, great staff, wonderful venue!

Mr & Mrs Biglin, 2nd June 2022

Well ,what can we say …
Thank you so much for our perfect wedding. The venue runs like clockwork, you are so good at what you do.  Special thank you to Hayley who was our event manager on the day and was absolutely lovely .
Keep up the good work.

Nikki & Jo, 31st May 2022

Thank you for making our day amazing . Everyone was so attentive and friendly. All our guests commented on how amazing you were. A special thank you from Peanut for all the cuddles he got .
You guys are amazing at what you do.

Amy & Laura, 25th May 2022

We just wanted to say a huge thank you to all of you who helped make our wedding run so smoothly. You were all incredible and we never had to worry about a thing. Every single thing about South Farm is magical and it is like that because of you.
Special thanks to Summer our amazing event manager, your smile and calmness throughout the day was much appreciated ????

Mr & Mrs Ward, 19th May 2022

We can’t even express in words just how incredible our wedding day at South Farm was!!! It was just perfect and everything we could have dreamed of. Our guests were in awe of how beautiful South Farm is. My photographer has always wanted to shoot at SF and wasn’t disappointed. My singer said it was just “magical”.

We had the most amazing day, please do pass on massive thanks to Summer who was just fantastic, our guests commented on how lovely and helpful she was. She really put me at ease and couldn’t do enough for me.Also to every other member of your team who helped with the smooth running of our day. Your staff were just brilliant!

And the food… my goodness the food…. The comments from our guests about the food were just incredible, they commented on how amazing every single thing was. Your chefs are so talented.

Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts, I’m so glad we chose to have our wedding with you.

 

Val & John, 17th May 2022

John and I want to thank you so much for ensuring that our celebrations on Tuesday were utterly fabulous!  We always thought we’d made the right choice of South Farm but the day itself proved how wonderful both the team and venue really are.

It seems unfair to mention only some people as we were so impressed with the professionalism and friendliness of everyone we spoke to throughout our protracted progress towards our special day but Hayley, our Event Manager needs a special mention:  she was an absolute joy and always seemed to be at hand to help without ever being intrusive and has an uncanny ability to read minds in that she knew what I wanted/would find helpful before I had even thought of it.

We’d also especially like to thank the chefs who delivered such a wonderful meal. Many of our friends made a point of saying that the canapes were probably the best they’d ever tasted.

We could go on – the grounds, serving staff, housekeeping, office staff, location, ambience, etc. etc. – all absolutely fantastic.

We will miss planning our South Farm celebrations and dealing with you all.  Hopefully, one of our friends will decide to get married at South Farm and we can enjoy it again.  In the meantime, John and I send huge thanks to you all and wish everyone our very best.

Claire & Mike, 7th May 2022


Everything about South Farm is simply amazing - from the beautiful venue and gardens, farm animals, amazing food (we recommend the Fusion Feast - our guests loved it!) and most importantly the wonderful staff who are so friendly, attentive and professional. There are so many little touches that make the venue memorable and unique. Big thanks especially to our Event Manager Emily who is so warm and approachable, clearly so passionate about helping couples have the best day ever.


Book South Farm for your wedding, you won’t regret it!

Jess & Sam, 26th April 2022

Thank you all for making our day so special.  Everything was even better than we could have imagined. We really noticed all of your hard work on the day – our guests even mentioned it. They all raved about the food – the best wedding food they had ever had and one of the loveliest venues they had ever been to.

Emily & Mat, 8th April 2022

Thank you so much for everything you have done to make our wedding the best day ever! Everything and everybody we have met or spoken to have been so helpful and friendly and South Farm is the most beautiful venue. You made the whole wedding planning straight forward and we appreciate that hugely. All of our guests have been so incredibly complimentary of the venue, food and staff. The food was amazing!! A particular thank you to Helen for working so hard to make our ceremony happen outside – it wouldn’t have happened without you ! And to the teams who made this happen too by cutting the grass and putting chairs out last minute. Great to find out we were the first outdoor wedding of 2022.
Our guests claimed it was like being in the South of France! We have had the best experience and have created some wonderful memories at South Farm, so thank you.

Danielle & Charlotte, 6th April 2022

This venue is absolutely gorgeous. And the staff are simply amazing!
We got married here last week and had the most magical day - a day we dreamed of having and South Farm fulfilled this for us - especially Michelle who went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly for us and added lots of fun!!!!
The food is out of this world and all of our guests couldn’t of praised it any more … there is a reason why they win so many awards! Thank you South Farm, you are all amazing! Danielle & Charlotte

Charli & Luke, 18th March 2022


We were lucky enough to get married at South Farm in March. Everything from our first consultation to our wedding day was amazing! All the Staff are so welcoming and friendly and happy to answer endless questions! We had Helen as our events manager on the day all I can Say is WOW she was so calming during the day and kept everything running smoothly. All our guests said the venue was absolutely stunning including the food!
I wish we could do this day again and again because for us it was beyond perfect!
Thank-you to you all, South Farm will always be a special place to us.


Charli & Luke xx

Darcey and Jamie, 29th January 2022

Simply stunning, the most gorgeous venue which not only oozes character and beauty with its amazingly kept grounds and gorgeous decor but the staff are what makes this venue outstanding.
We had the lovely Erica run our wedding day and we can’t thank her enough for ensuring our big day went perfectly and couldn’t do more for us, also a huge thank you to all the lovely office staff who helped me with any queries along the way.
Our guests all commented on how amazing the food was, perfect portion sizes, fresh and tasted amazing!
If you’re looking for a venue that is upfront with costing, simply beautiful with no added extra costs such as fairy lights and want a dedicated team of professionals then this venue is a must!

A Wedding Guest, 28th January 2022

We recently attended our nieces wedding & would like to express our thanks to all of your staff for making it a beautiful and memorable day. We were so impressed not only with the delightful setting and wonderful food, but with the courtesy and professionalism of every member of staff we encountered.

Lucy Miller, 25th November 2021

What a beautiful venue and amazingly helpful staff. I got married at this wonderful venue on 25/11/2021 ( original date was 26/11/2020) the whole process from start to finish was brilliant despite covid pushing us back a year!
The whole team made our day so special, they were extremely accommodating with all of our requests, knowledgable and friendly. Everyone one from our event manager Summer to all the bar staff, kitchen staff and cleaners helped make our day perfect! We’re still buzzing and wish we do it all Over again. Thank you xxx

Mr & Mrs Fitzpatrick, 8th November 2021

We wanted to say the biggest Thank You for everything you all did to help us have the best day. From our first visit, to all of your help and support during two cancelled weddings, to our very special day, you all have gone above and beyond. We are so glad it finally happened but sad that it’s over.
Lots of love, Joe Jessie & Hallie xx

Jade & Will, 6th November 2021

A massive thank you for helping us with our perfect wedding day. We had the most amazing day and this was thanks to your beautiful venue and incredibly attentive staff. A special Thank You to Summer, who was such a calming presence on the day. We have had so many compliments from our guests about out venue choice, including how amazing the food was!


Lauren & Dean, 28th October 2021

We can’t thank South Farm enough for helping us create the most magical wedding day. The staff were fantastic and events manager Summer was exceptional. From start to finish the day was perfect. We wish we could do it all again.
Thank you from the new Mr and Mrs Reilly

Louisa & Andrew, 21st October 2021

I can't believe it's been four weeks already since our incredible day with you all. We can't say thank you enough for everything you did for us in the run up and during our wedding.

From our first meeting and show round in November 2018 we knew South Farm was a special place and we just had to have our wedding there. Every single person we spoke or met with was incredible, including but not limited to, Emily, Summer, Christine, Becky and Michelle; from our planning meeting, the couples taster evening (literally never known another venue that does anything that incredible), all the postponement and rescheduling, the second planning meeting and all the panicky calls and emails were dealt with nothing other than calm, friendliness and reassurance. In 20 months like no other to hit the wedding and hospitality industry, you all made us feel like everything was under control, even when it probably didn't feel like it was your end but it made all the difference to us when we were making those difficult choices.

Luckily every choice we did make with your help was absolutely the right one and the whole day was exactly - if not better - than we dreamed it would be. So many of our guests couldn't tell us enough how gorgeous the place was and were so impressed - like we were - with your onsite kitchen team and dedication to growing and raising the produce you serve. We're still getting people telling us how incredible the food was! Not a single complaint to be had and it all went down an absolute treat.

An extra special mention to Julie for being our coordinator on the day; an absolutely unflappable, consummate professional who knew all the answers to any questions we had before we asked them! From the little things like asking if we wanted a peek at the rooms after set up, to muscling her way into the evening buffet to make us up a plate of food and leave it in the bridal suite for us (the best idea EVER!), we had absolutely no worries the entire day, she was incredible.

And finally a big thank you to all the rest of the operational team who made everything run like a dream, from the kitchen team, to the F&B and bar staff. I've  worked in hospitality and customer facing roles since I was 16 and I have to say, your staff are some of the best. Even coming down to breakfast the next morning to see all the tables set up and decorated with our centerpieces and decorations was such a lovely surprising touch; so unexpected but just a lovely example of some of the things that make South Farm so special.

The only disappointment was the absolute audacity of your lovely pig to still be overdue and pregnant on the day - only for her to give birth the day after we believe? How rude, haha! Still can't believe we missed out on piglet pictures!! But we won't hold it against you :-)

Seriously guys, thank you just doesn't feel enough, you made our whole day and we'll never forget it. We won't hesitate to recommend you!

Henry & Lucy, 14th October 2021

We both want to say a huge thank you for a truly magical day! After waiting so long we couldn’t have asked for anything more.
All of our friends and family have said WHAT A FANTASTIC VENUE South Farm is and how brilliant the team were. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was incredible! Thank you for your patience with all of the weird and wonderful dietary requirements we passed your way.
A special thank you to Hayley who really did go the extra mile to make sure we relaxed and had the best day! Because of everyone at South Farm, we had the Wedding Day f our dreams! We wish we could do it all over again!

Sarah Danes, 24th July 2021

I cannot fully express just how wonderful our wedding at South Farm was on the 24th July 2021! All of our guests absolutely raved about the beautiful venue, the fantastic service and exquisite food.
Michelle was our event planner for the day and everything was just seamless. Somehow Michelle even made the sun come out!! it really was everything we had dreamed about and more. I would recommend South Farm in a heartbeat

Sally & Ryan, 19th July 2021

We would recommend this venue in a heartbeat. From the moment we set eyes on South Farm, we knew we had to get married there! The team were absolutely incredible and the day run so smoothly, we didn’t have to think or worry about a thing. Our event manager, Helen, was outstanding even on the hottest day of the year! After such a difficult year for the wedding industry, South Farm still had its magic and has come back even stronger Thank you for the bottom of our hearts.

Sam & Chris, 18th July 2021


South Farm is honestly the most amazing wedding venue! My (now) husband and I, live in Dubai and had the fun of not only planning a wedding from abroad, but also during Covid times. However, South Farm made this a piece of cake. From clear and informative communication over email and Zoom calls, to running the wedding day so efficiently and seamlessly. As Chirs said in his speech, "Thank you South Farm. We could have not asked for a better wedding venue." Everyone we have had contact with at South Farm has been extremely professional, helpful and passionate. I would like to say a special thank you to Hayley who ensured our whole day ran smoothly and was always so smiley and welcoming.


Food is a big part of our life and we spend lots of our time hunting down the best places to eat, whether it's a tiny hidden cafe, street food or a Michelin Star Restaurant. For our wedding breakfast, we opted for the Thai Banquet and it was absolutely stunning food. Every dish was mouth-watering with lovely zesty Thai flavours. All our guests commented on the freshness and vibrancy of the food and how refreshing it was to eat something a little less traditional at a wedding. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who works at South Farm. You certainly gave us our dream wedding and Covid did not dampen South Farm's spirits in the slightest.


The farm...wow, wow, wow! We were super lucky that the weather was amazing, however, I fell in love with South Farm on a grey and gloomy January morning. I honestly think the farm would shine on any day of the year. The little pigs were so gorgeous to visit and definitely entertained our smallest guests. In fact, the kids were not seen for most of the day as they were busy exploring the farm!


I would personally like to give a big shout out to our incredible photographer Gavin Hardy! Gav's work speaks for itself. It is more than incredible and I have only seen 2 photographs so far that he has kindly leaked to us. I can't wait to see all the other photos.


To conclude, we had the most incredible wedding day full of fun, love and laughter. Thank you South Farm.

Mr & Mrs Aylott, 15th July 2021


My husband and I can’t recommend South Farm enough!


We knew the moment we visited South Farm for the first time that’s where we wanted to celebrate our wedding reception. The location is stunning, the grounds are expansive, the exclusive venue use is out of this world, the piglets!!!… and other animals melted our hearts.


The staff were professional, supportive and encouraged us throughout, which was very much needed having postponed a full year due to covid. We had expected to have a restriction free wedding, then pot luck our wedding date fell 4 days before the government restrictions were lifted… but the staff at South Farm were amazing, they communicated with us throughout, and on the day helped bring our vision to life. Summer was our co-ordinator on the day and she was fantastic!


Thank you to Summer and the whole team at South Farm.

Mr & Mrs King, 3rd July 2021


Having postponed our wedding from 2020 to July this year due to COVID. The emails back and forth and the uncertainty of whether we could have a ‘normal’ wedding, left us with fear and anxiety! However when the day came, none of that mattered!! We had the BEST DAY and the level of service received by the South Farm team was AMAZING. From the moment we arrived and up till leaving, the service was 5 star!!! Our friends and family were so impressed too and the food was BEAUTIFUL!! And a big shout out to Michelle for being such a FUN events manager on the day!! We wish you all the very best for the future!



Jasmin & Tom, 26th June 2021

Our wedding day was made the most incredible day of our lives by your amazing team. Summer, thank you so much for your professionalism and for being so kind and warm. Thank You for being endlessly supportive throughout all of the ups, downs and delays. We have always felt so lucky to have such an honest, considerate and compassionate venue who puts couples first despite business concerns.
You are all lovely, lovely people and the best wedding venue in the world – we truly believe it!

Falak Smith, 11th June 2021

What can I say about South Farm…
I visited South Farm just over 3 years ago with the interest of booking it for our wedding and WOW, it is absolutely beautiful, we booked it within the week!
Throughout the planning process, South farm were ever so helpful, answered any questions we had very quickly and thoroughly. The food tasting was organised so well and as a bonus the food tasted AMAZING Our wedding was one of the first to be effected by the Pandemic with our original date being in May 2020. South Farm were so helpful and understanding as we were to them. They really helped us and reassured us everything was going to be ok. We postponed 5 times and every single time they were on the ball and very helpful.
At last, we finally had our wedding day on the 11th June 2021, my event manager was Helen, and oh my goodness it was all organised so well, the day went PERFECTLY all thanks to Helen, making sure everything was ready in the background whilst I could relax and get ready.
Christine, Becky, Emily, Michelle, Hayley and Helen (and others!) thank you so so so much for making our dream wedding a reality. We are so grateful to you for all of your help and support. We hope we can come back and visit soon, South Farm was worth the wait

Sharon & Clare, 12th December 2020

We just wanted to share a few of our photos from our wedding ceremony on 12 December ..... we feel so lucky and privileged that we were able to get married in these strange times ... especially as we live in a Tier 4 area now.
Our Event Manager Michelle was an absolute star and couldn’t have done anymore to make our day special.
Thanks again for everyone’s help and support on the day.

Speak soon and take care

Sharon & Clare

Matt & Charlotte, 9th December 2020

Matt and I just wanted to pop an email to say how absolutely incredible everything was yesterday. Helen was totally amazing. Very attentive and friendly. Every staff member made a day that was not as planned feel like the most special day ever and we wanted to thank everyone for that too.
The food was amazing and everyone complimented on how tasty it was and well presented.

We would recommend South farm to anyone it is the most magical place on earth.

Love Matt and Charlotte xx

Sarah & Owen, 4th October 2020


Words cannot express how grateful we are for all the hard work the team at South Farm put into making our wedding day so perfect.From beginning to end, the attention to detail, personal touch, and support was brilliant - we really appreciate everything they did for us.
The venue looked stunning, everything was perfectly on time, the food was absolutely delicious, and every member of the South Farm team was a delight to be around. No request was too much.
We understand this has been a difficult time, but we were impressed by the professionalism and kindness that the whole team have shown us throughout
Special thanks also to the in house DJ - DJ Gary who was totally supportive throughout the process and understanding when we had to scale down our wedding.

Laura Hewett, 26th September 2020

We had a really lovely wedding reception at South Farm last Saturday. We initially decided upon this venue for its beautiful outdoor space and the number of guests it could welcome. Of course no one could foresee the Coronavirus situation, but we have been so impressed by South Farm’s response with their packages for smaller weddings. Even with a reception 1/6 of our intended size (and in the rain!) the space was used very well so that the reception still felt lively. The food was outstanding, the staff as welcoming as ever, and some of our friends could still stay over and enjoy a stroll around in the grounds with us in the morning.

Thanks South Farm for showing us that ‘good things come in small packages’!!!

Emily Cooper, 25th September 2020


We planned to get married on 29th April at South farm, but due to covid we had to postpone.
South farm were incredible throughout the entire process! They kept us in the loop with everything, and held our hands as our dream of a massive wedding had to be altered.
Our new date was 30th September, planned for 30 people- a huge reduction from the original 150, but we knew that South farm would still make it perfect for us!
Well, just for fun, the government decided to change restrictions again from 28th September and we were left with the predicament of reducing to just 15 people, a near enough impossible option for us as our immediate family is so huge.
We were heart broken at the thought of another set back, and after coming so close this time we didn't really know what options we were left with.
And this is where the real magic of South farm, and how accommodating they are really sets in... amazingly they had availability for us to bring our day forward and get married with 30 people on 25th September.
With their incredible help and support (especially Emily and Helen) we managed to pull together the most beautiful, perfect, and intimate wedding within 2 days!
We're still on a massive wedding day buzz now.
I'd get married here all day every day if I could.
Thank you all so much for giving us the most perfect day.
You really do go above and beyond, especially in these challenging times, you still made us feel like royalty x

 

Emma Rockwood, 19th September 2020

As soon as we arrived at South Farm for the initial walk-round we knew it was the place for us, and by the time we left we had fallen in love with it and didn’t need to even look elsewhere.
The staff really are like one big family and every single one of them will do anything to help make your day as special as possible. They are organised, professional, enthusiastic, positive, attentive, efficient and experts in their own areas. They literally are the dream team and from start to finish they all make you feel like yours is the only wedding going on in the world!
The organic food is amazing and is mainly home-grown on-site at South Farm, you are always welcome to look around the smallholding, nothing is hidden away and everything is so well maintained and loved, it really shows. The animals are adorable and it is clear that their welfare comes above anything, which is hugely important to us.
The venue speaks for itself, it is just stunning, inside and out, whatever the season. A huge amount of hard work must go on behind the scenes in keeping everything looking so great but it all feels so natural with effortless countryside beauty.
To summarise, we cannot recommend South Farm highly enough, it’s literally our perfect venue and our wedding day was simply perfect, even in times like these, so thank you all.

Sarah & Alex, 27th August 2020

We got married at South Farm in August and we can't recommend them enough!
The venue is just so beautiful but it's the team that makes this place special. Nothing is out of the question and they have a truly individual approach.
We loved this personable treatment as having viewed other venues and been to wedding fayres a lot of places felt very formulaic and we didn't want a churned out, identikit 'cookie cutter' wedding, we wanted to get married somewhere that felt like 'us'.
South Farms 'Distinctly Different' motto was perfect for us and we loved sharing ideas with the team about making our day just right for us, from the veggie menu we created, to the decor and the special drinks, everything was exactly how we wanted it.
Whilst this year has been really tough for wedding planning and the industry as a whole South Farm stayed calm and informed keeping us up to date on the changing government restrictions and were prepared and forward thinking with what they could offer throughout.
We had our wedding with 30 people and within all the government guidelines of the time but it was still our perfect big day and we're so glad we went ahead.
Whilst the planning felt fun and easy, the day itself was also a breeze with South  Farms event planning team running the event like clockwork without you realising so that you can kick back and just enjoy! A big thank you to Michelle who kept everything running smoothly on our day! I didn't even have chance to feel anxious or panic about anything as it felt like everything was sorted for me!

It was truly special, thank you South Farm!

Aysen Mehmet & Rob Luker, 16th February 2020




We had the most special day. The venue is amazing and the staff from the start of our process, up to and including our big day were faultless. First class all the way!


 


 

Melissa & David, 15th February 2020

Hi Summer

Thank you so much for everything you done for both myself and David on our wedding day. I don’t think the day would have gone as smoothly if it wasn’t for you.

You were there for anything either of us needed and even our guests requests.

Our day was as perfect as we imagined, the venue is absolutely beautiful. Everything just ran like clockwork, would also like to thank all of the staff as they were all so polite and helpful.

Most of our guests had told us that was the best wedding they’ve ever been to.

Thanks again for everything, I will be recommending South Farm to anyone I know who gets engaged in the future.

Melissa & David x

Andrew Dudley, Emma & George's Parents, 8th February 2020

A slightly belated thank you for organising an excellent wedding for Emma & George last Saturday. We were very lucky with the weather, which presented South Farm in glorious winter sunshine, and we missed the wind and rain that lashed everywhere on the Sunday. All the guests commented on the choice of venue and the quality of the food. It all made for an excellent event with the vast majority of the guests staying to the bitter end.

Our organiser on the day was Emily and she was on top of all aspects. Her dialogue with me kept me fully up to date with everything and even when the speeches over ran their allotted time she was brilliant in getting the room re-organised so that we were soon back on target. All your staff were a credit to your organisation with exactly the right amount of attention to detail, whilst staying in the background and letting us enjoy the day with our guests.

On behalf of Emma, George and both sets of parents thank you very much.

Richard & Jotty, 21st December 2019

Jotty and I would like to thank you for the most tremendous day. You all played a huge part in making it work and Jane, on the day it was seamless.
From the bottom of our hearts we thank you all.

Louise & Steve Fowler, 20th December 2019

Hello,

I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything everyone at South Farm did for our wedding on Friday!

Michelle was so friendly and attentive and really felt part of the wedding party which was lovely. My niece also said a special thank you to her for the cake!

The food also got rave reviews from everyone who came and was delicious!

Thank you to everyone who was involved in the run up to the wedding - Emily and Becky were both great and made everything seem so easy!

I also had a lovely time catching up with Hannah - thanks for letting me in the kitchen!

Hope you all have a lovely Christmas and a well deserved break.

Thanks again,

Louise and Steve

Amy & Peter Richardson, 13th December 2019

5 stars. From the moment we first looked around to the morning after our wedding, South Farm was incredible.

Special mention to Helen our organiser on the day who made us both feel at ease, as well as making sure every detail was covered.

Communication with South Farm made me feel a little worried initially as you talk to so many different people in the team. But when we met Helen it became clear it wasn’t that no-one was specifically looking after us, it’s that every one of the team is looking after us and the level to which Helen knew what we wanted just showed that.

We got so many compliments on the food, every single contributor from their recommendations was spot on and all the staff were friendly. It was perfect.

Plus there are piglets!

Francesca Main & Kathy Derry, 21st November 2019

We had our beautiful wedding here on Thursday. Francesca and I enjoyed it so much and Michelle and Helga were on top form.

Emily & Thomas, 16th November 2019

Hi Summer,

Thanks so much for your message and sorry for our late reply, we are just back from our honeymoon in Cyprus!

It would be impossible for us to tell you how perfect everything was on the day, we were both a bit anxious in the days leading up to it but we needn't have been, Jane took excellent care of us and honestly it was better than we ever could have hoped! Loads of our guests said it was the best wedding they'd ever been to, everyone said the food was absolutely amazing, and we really couldn't have been more thrilled with everything so thank you so much to the whole team, particularly Jane and Emily as well who helped a lot with the planning and was brilliant in the lead up to the day. And to you Summer who showed us around when we first came to visit you just over a year ago and you helped us make the excellent decision to have our wedding at South Farm!.

Sending all our very best to the team and we hope to be able to visit South Farm again in future!



Kind regards

Emily and Thomas xxx

Alison Landon, 9th November 2019

My daughter, Eve Landon (now Dolling ) got married at your beautiful venue on 9th November this year. I would just like to say how fabulous her day was I can’t fault anything. Summer was absolutely amazing, friendly, professional, understanding and totally on top of everything. I don’t know what we’d have done without her! Chris, the MC, was a delight and ensured the day ran smoothly, as well as winning the hearts of us and our guests I could gush on about many things, including the food and accommodation but I’d end up writing a novel Suffice to say, we are so happy that we chose South Farm to host our celebrations

Many thanks

Ash & Eve, 9th November 2019

Dear Summer and the South Farm Team,

We wanted to thank you for making our Wedding Day so special.

The planning of the day was made so much easier because of all you did - your lovely and speedy responses to all of our enquiries in the buildup made it that much less stressful for us.

The day itself was perfect and we wanted to especially thank Summer for making everything run so smoothly and particularly for staying later to assist in the evening.

We will never forget our special day at South Farm.

Thank you again

Emily & Edward Chapman, 1st November 2019

5 star rating!!! South Farm is the most incredible wedding venue. My husband and I got married earlier this month and would highly recommend. The staff were amazing, from the beginning of planning to the execution on the day. Everything ran smoothly and was very organised, all details were covered making the process of planning as stress free as possible. The food was also wonderful, we had lots of comments from our guests saying how much they enjoyed it. The staff made us feel very special and catered to all of our needs. They went above and beyond our expectations for a wedding venue. We are so happy that we chose to have our wedding there. We were in discussion with a few of the team at the venue, all of which were great. Summer was our wedding planner on the day and was wonderful!!

Steph & Iain, 20th October 2019

On behalf of myself and my new HUSBAND, I’d just like to say a massive thank you to you and the whole team at South Farm. The day could not have gone better and we couldn't imagine celebrating anywhere else. From day one, the experience has been an absolute pleasure and given the short timeline we were working with, we were pleasantly surprised at how easy the whole planning process felt!

Myself and Iain were so happy with how the day went- a bonus was that we got lucky with the weather and had the magical experience of our dream outdoor ceremony! All the guests have talked about is how the venue was so stunning and how great the food was (we've even had a couple of carnivores consider a plant based diet going forward!)

Honestly we could go on...

Again a big thanks to all those we worked closely with including James, Emily and of course Becky who on the day ran a slick military operation and of course this will all be reflected in our online reviews too.

Take care and best wishes,

Steph and Iain

Mark & Ronnie Hagger, 19th October 2019

Dear All,

My new wife and I just want to say a very big thank you to Emily and all of you at South Farm you really made our day very special and enjoyed by everyone who attended. Everything went very smoothly without problems.

Best regards

Mr. and Mrs. Darnell-Anderson, 17th October 2019

Dear Summer,

Happy New Year to you and the team at South Farm! We hope you all had a lovely holiday period.

We would like to express our appreciation for everything the team at South Farm have done for us. We couldn't have wished for anything more, as you had met and promptly exceeded all our expectations. Everything was handled with great professionalism and warmth. Our guests have all expressed how impressed they were by the venue, the food, the staff and the atmosphere. Even to this day people are still commenting on the amazing buffet spread and the romance of South Farm. A special mention to yourself, Summer, for being with us from our first show around, through to the final moments of the big day, and for always having the kindest nature.

Chris & Karen Garrett, 9th October 2019

Dear Phillip & Team,

We wanted to thank you so much for an absolutely perfect day we had on the 9th October 2019 for our son Nick and Laura’s wedding. Everyone throughout enjoyed themselves and we all agree that the venue, food and most of all the staff were all fabulous. We will be recommending the farm as it was fantastic in every way.

King Regards,

Chris & Karen Garrett.

Mrs & Mrs Clemence-Jackson, 6th October 2019

To Helga, Emily, Christine and the whole team at South Farm,

Phil and I want to say a huge thank you to everyone at South Farm for giving us the most perfect wedding day we could have wished for.

From the moment we booked you as our venue we received fantastic service. You were happy to accommodate all of our needs to make the day uniquely ours. You were organised and proactive in the months before the wedding, helping us with our choices at each step and leaving us in no doubt that everything was in hand. The food tasting day we attended was a runner-up for best day of the year!

On the day itself Helga was friendly and professional, and all the staff's hard work was evident in the fact that everything went perfectly and seamlessly. Friends and family were full of compliments about the venue, food and staff.

We honestly had the best day of our lives and we are so glad we chose South Farm to make it happen.

Please accept a huge thank you from us both, and from our families and friends.

All the best,

Katie & Phil

Lynne & Gerald Clemence, 6th October 2019

Dear Christine

My husband and I would like to thank everyone at South Farm for making our daughter’s wedding so special on Sunday.  Thanks to you, everything went perfectly and everyone who attended had a wonderful time. We’d particularly like to thank Helga who ensured that everything went according to plan, and who met every query or request with a smile. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt that we were in safe hands and were very well looked after. The food was amazing; it looked beautiful, tasted delicious and was served smoothly and efficiently. The chef and team are to be congratulated on producing such high quality food throughout the day, from the delicious canapés, to the magnificent meal, the lovely truffles and finally the hog roast rolls. There were many compliments!

Thank you so much!

Katherine & Ben Selby, 29th September 2019

Dear all at South Farm,

It honestly couldn’t have been any better. We are incredibly grateful for the work of all staff on the day – especially Summer who was a total delight and kept us calm down and relaxed throughout! :)

Special shout-outs to Emily & Becky who were fantastic as we booked and planned the day – just exceptional pros :) Love always!

Olli and Emma Sharpe, 8th September 2019

Dear South Farm!

We just wanted to message to thank everybody at South Farm for the most amazing and wonderful wedding day! From the very first time we saw South Farm we fell in love, it was everything we were looking for in a wedding venue! The staff were amazing every step of the way and made the wedding planning experience smooth, stress-free and very enjoyable! We loved all of it from the amazing menu tasting, to the pre-planning meeting to of course the big day itself! My personal highlight were the piglets of course!

All of our guests absolutely loved the venue and thought it was amazing! They thought everything was so personal and we had a lovely sunny day so they got to see all the beautiful gardens!

Becky was our wedding planner on the day and she was amazing! She made the day run so smoothly and we cant thank her enough!

Mr & Mrs Richards, 29th August 2019

Jane & Team,

Thank you so much for all of your help on the lead up to our wedding day. We truly had the most incredible day & honestly couldn’t have wished for a better venue & team. The food was incredible & the bar staff managed to keep up with our cocktail orders.

Lots of love Mr & Mrs Richards

Sarah & Nick, 28th August 2019

Dearest Emily & The team South Farm,

Thank you for being amazing! It was the most wonderful day and went like clockwork!

Mr & Mrs Walsh, 26th August 2019

We’ve just returned back home after attending our Nephews wedding on a very hot day. On behalf of me and my wife we’d like to say thanks. We’ve been to a lot of weddings and were saying to each other this has to be the nicest one we’ve been to. The owners and all the staff should be very proud of what they have created a truly remarkable experience.

Mr & Mrs Henddrickson, 26th August 2019

To Helen and everyone at South Farm,

We just wanted to thank you for making our dream wedding come true. We had the most perfect day and it all ran so smoothly. Helen helped us feel so relaxed and calm, even grabbing Josh a banana straight after the ceremony, as nothing was too much to ask. We are so glad we chose South Farm to host our wedding. Thank you for everything … We wish we could do it all over again!

Kath & Neil Walker, 25th August 2019

Dear Helga and all the team at South Farm,

Neil and I wanted to also give massive thanks for our daughter’s wedding on Sunday 25th August 2019. Your calm, friendly and professional help ensured a stunning, spectacular, amazing day that we shall all remember for the rest of our lives.

 

Mr & Mrs Hastings, 16th August 2019

Helen, Caio from Italy!

We have spent our first day of honeymoon talking about the wedding and singing your praises! Wow, you were fantastic!

Thanks for making our dream day come true and then some! We were drunk in love (and just drunk) and you made every second perfect!

We’re happy to say the weather in Italy is better than our wedding day!

Thank you so much for everything!

Wow!

Lots of love!

Mr & Mrs Hastings! Xxxxxx

Amy and Richard, 12th August 2019

Thank you to everyone at South Farm,

To Jane for discreetly organising us and being kind to Minnie, to Gary the brilliant DJ ( We danced all night), the Chefs for the fantastic food and best breakfast sausages, the housekeepers for our perfect rooms and the gardeners who keep the grounds looking so beautiful and to anyone else working behind the scenes.

As parents who live in Scotland hundreds of miles from our daughter, South Farm was a perfect choice of venue. We keep being told it was the best wedding ever. A huge thank you for a day we will always remember for the rest of our lives. It was very special

Anne Marie & Richard Wild

Emily & Gary, 11th August 2019

To the South Farm team,

We just wanted to thank you for being the venue for our special day on the 11th August 2019. The smiles on the bride and grooms faces show how much they enjoyed their big bad and that is what is important. Everything on the day was dealt with efficiently and promptly due to your hard work, planning and attention to detail. We know that delivering an experience like this requires so much hard work behind the scenes by an army of people, from the front of house, Chefs, Event Managers, kitchen potters and cleaners and those working in the early hours of the morning to clean and set tables. We want to thank each and every member of the South Farm team because we know it is a team effort. However we would like to single out one person for a special mention, our event manager Emily. She was outstanding and was always there making sure everything ran smoothly but never in the way. She was there to show us around South Farm two years ago when we were looking for venues and it was fitting that she was the event manager on our big day. Thank you Emily.

We have so many wonderful memories of our wedding day which will last a lifetime. We entrusted you with our dreams for a perfect wedding and you didn’t let us down.

Thank you so much Gary Hitch, Emily Bundock-Hitch, Gary Bundock & Sandra Bundock

Emily Bundock-Hitch & Gary Hitch, 11th August 2019

We got married at South Farm on the 11th August 2019. From the initial show round two years previous we knew this was our wedding venue. The run up to the wedding with the planning meeting and wedding planner document made it so easy to communicate everything we needed for our day, and on the day everything was in place just as we wanted. The whole day ran just as planned and our event manager Emily did an amazing job at making sure everything was alright all the way through.

Olivia & Max Stephenson-Pope, 5th August 2019

From starting off looking around the venue, to the actual wedding day, we received exceptional service, organisation and support with planning our big day.

The venue is absolutely stunning, and lived up to everything we envisioned and could have hoped for. We have had countless comments from our guests praising South Farm, in particular, how you have so many lovely areas for guests to disperse into, and how incredibly delicious all of the food was!
We would also like to thank Helga for being with us for our day and making sure everything ran smoothly. She was professional, knowledgeable, calming, friendly and an absolute godsend, ensuring that everything was taken care of so that we could just take in and enjoy the day!

Thank you again,

Lydia & Blaine, 28th July 2019

To all the team at South Farm,

Thank you so much for making our big day on the 28th July so amazing!

When we chose South Farm as our venue we both knew we were guaranteed a wonderful day, and we were not let down.

Helga - you were brilliant in ensuring our day ran smoothly, thank you so much for keeping us calm and ensuring our Ushers and Bridesmaids kept on task and everyone was where they were supposed to be.

Alexandra and Becky - Thank you for your excellent help and care in each and every stage of our planning, and for always being available on email regardless of the time of day. We felt confident knowing that whatever requirements we submitted in our final plan would be carried out to the letter.

Finally, please send our thanks to the chefs and kitchen staff who prepared such wonderful food; also the waiting and bar staff who set up the barn and served our guests with such elegance and professionalism.

Best wishes

To Emily, 21st July 2019

Jono and I wanted to say a huge, huge thank you to all the team and to Summer for leading our whole day on Thursday – we couldn’t have been happier with how our wedding went and we are still on a high from it. You have been absolutely fabulous. We are on honeymoon for a week so will touch base with you on our return but had to send this quickly just to pass on our massive thanks and gratitude for what you have all done.

Summer – you were just incredible on the day – so calm and collected and thank you for keeping me in the loop all day with everything. You were a star. Thanks for being 120% excellent we are so, so pleased.

Lots of love,

Andrea Gallego and Steve Guest, 1st July 2019

We fell in love with South Farm the very first time we visited it and we had the most beautiful, fun, and perfect wedding there. We were extremely lucky with the weather and had the most stunning setting for an outdoors wedding. You will honestly not find a better venue or place to get married than South Farm, we could not recommend it more!
The venue is a magic, special and completely unique, you have to visit to completely understand it. We have had so many compliments from all our guests on how much they loved the venue, the food and they had such a great time!
The food is really exquisite, organic and local, and South Farm is very flexible to adapt to what you really want. The food, just like the service, couldn't be better. We had some challenges with some guests´s diet requirements and as Spanish I wanted to have some Spanish food too. South Farm were more than happy to help us and follow some of the recipes I provided. My family complimented this, and were surprised it was really good!
The staff is warm, friendly and they put a great amount of effort and thought into everything, means we didn't feel at all stressed! On the day Helga, our events manager, was more than amazing. She flitted about in the background and was always one step ahead of us. Thank you for being super fantastic! Thanks as well to Emily and Alexandra for making the organisation really easy and for coordinating all since day one and reply all our questions so efficiently.

We absolutely loved having our big day at South Farm and couldn't be happier looking back on it. I wish we could do it all over again.

I got married on 30th June 2019 and it was honestly the wedding of my dreams.

South farm went above and beyond and I honestly could not recommend them enough. An extra special mention to Summer who made sure everything ran smoothly she was so professional, caring and nothing was too much trouble, I cannot thank you enough! Also thanks to Emily and Alli for replying to my endless emails!

You will honestly not find a better venue or place to get married than South Farm - the food, staff and setting are just out of this world!

Our daughter got married at South Farm on Sunday 30th June.

It was a perfect day, fantastic venue, great staff & unbelievable food. There was nothing we would have changed as it was the day we all hoped for & more.

To Helga,

Thank you for all of your help on our special day.

You went above and beyond to ensure our day went perfectly and we honestly can’t thank you enough.

Not only did you make sure everything was running smoothly in the background but you were always on hand to give us advice and answer all of our questions.

All of our guests had a lovely day and commented on how amazing South Farm is.

Thank you again for all of your help and guidance,

Love,

Grace and Guy x, 24th June 2019

Hi all at South Farm,

We just wanted to take a minute from the craziness which has been our amazing wedding and then straight off to Florida to say the biggest thank you to everyone at South Farm and a really special thank you to Helen who was our Event Manager on Monday!

We have both said so many times that we had just a perfect day and we honestly couldn’t have asked for better! Helen was an absolute wedding angel, who was all over the place, sorting everything and everyone out and just being so calm and in control! It meant we both totally relaxed and had the most amazing day!

We feel like you guys thought of every last little thing, even down to tidying the bridal suite before we went in (because I’m pretty sure it was carnage in there when we left it ). And we were just amazed at how amazing the garland looked in the Tudor Barn so a big thank you to everyone who sorted that, it sounded like quite a team! But it looked way better than when we put it on the Summerhouse so thank you!! Every single member of staff that was around was friendly and super helpful!

I feel like this has been a rather long email and I still don’t feel like we’ve said thank you enough! But I will say thank you one last time for making the most important day of our lives absolutely perfect, it was because of everyone’s hard work that we have the most amazing memories! I know you do lots and lots of weddings but on Monday it really felt like ours was the only one that mattered, it was so obvious that everyone just wanted it to be perfect for us (again special mention to Helen here!) and we are so so grateful for that!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Grace and Guy, 24th June 2019

To everyone at South Farm,

We just wanted to say a huge thank you for making our wedding day more perfect than we could have imagined! Every single member of staff was so polite, helpful and happy and went out of their way to make sure everything went smoothly! And of course a million thank you to our event manager Helen! You truly are a wedding angel and we can’t say thank you enough. We really appreciate all the effort put in by everyone! Because of you all we have lovely memories of a perfect day!

Lots of love Grace & Guy

Lydia and Sam, 23rd June 2019

To Alli & the South Farm team,

Thank you so much for all your help in the run up to and on our big day! Everyone was so helpful and Alli made everything on the day so easy and stress free. All our guests are still talking about how beautiful South Farm is, we really did have the most perfect day.

Natalie & Eoin, 22nd June 2019

Dear Emily, Summer and the whole South Farm gang,

THANK YOU SO MUCH for Saturday – we literally had the best, best day of our lives. Literally everyone was saying how amazing the venue was and everyone had so much fun.

Emily – thanks so much for all of your help in the lead up. You made me feel so calm and in control.

Summer – thank you so much for all of your help on the day and being so lovely and kind and keeping us on track (as much as you could!)

So much love and thank you again so much xxx

To Emily,

Thank you so much for everything you did to make our big day so special. You truly are a credit to South Farm!

Love from,

Aileen Hills (Mother of Bride), 14th June 2019

I want to say a very big thank you to each and every one of you at South Farm.

Sarah and Niall were married on Friday 14th June 2019.

You made it such a wonderful day for everyone.

The weather was perfect and South Farm shone in the sunlight.

Happy memories are the most important things we hold.

Thank you again,

Paul and Suzanne, 8th June 2019

Morning Emily,

I hope you are well on this wet and windy day.

We have been bunkered down at a spa since Saturday, but will sadly return to real life today.

We wanted to say a huge thank you to the whole team at South Farm, and especially yourself for guiding us all through the day.

So many of our guests were amazed by the venue and really loved the food which is the exact reaction we hoped for.

Thanks so much,

 

Mr & Mrs Gilbert, 2nd June 2019

Hi Becky,

We wanted to thank you all for giving us an amazing wedding day, we loved every minute of it – all of our guests said what a beautiful place.

We have only this week gone back to work after our honeymoon which was amazing too.

Please thank Emily and everyone, can't thank you all enough.

We will send a few photos that people have taken as we haven't got ours yet.

Love to all,

 

Ashleigh & Dan Smith, 31st May 2019

We had our dream wedding at South Farm ♥️

This was the first and only venue we visited, need I say anymore. Absolutely everyone and everything was amazing and we cannot recommend South Farm enough.

All of our guests were blow away and we are still receiving compliments!

Everyone who works at South Farm should be so proud to be part of such a well-oiled machine. You made our wedding perfect in every way and we would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Natalie Moody, 27th May 2019

We had the best day we could possibly ask for at South Farm. The staff, food, everything was just simply amazing. Thank you so much to the whole team ❤

 

Natalie and Craig xxx, 27th May 2019

Hello,

Thank you all so much for making our day as perfect as it was.

The whole team have been amazing from booking the venue all the way to the big day.

The food was amazing and Becky did such a good job making sure everything ran smoothly, I couldn't have been happier with the day.

Thank you all again,

Lydia and Jordan x, 25th May 2019

Cannot thank Summer and all the staff at South Farm enough. We fell in love with South Farm the very first time we visited and could never have imagined our wedding day to be as perfect as it was. The running of the day was faultless, the food was incredible, the staff so friendly and helpful and Summer was the most helpful and organised event manager on our big day.

We have had so many compliments from all our guests on how much they loved the venue and had such a great time! We were extremely lucky with the weather and the grounds at south farm are so beautiful.

We also took South Farm’s advice and hired DJ Gary for our evening entertainment and can honestly say I have never seen a dance floor so full! Thank you all again we wish we could do it all over and over again!

Love,

Alex and Chris (and Daisy) xxx, 23rd May 2019

We had such a beautiful day – it exceeded both our expectations and so many of my friends and family commented on how relaxed they felt and how much they enjoyed it. It really was the most beautiful setting and we were so lucky with the weather.

Lots of people commented how great you were at keeping water on offer and refilling water jugs which they valued especially due to the hot weather and they commented on how good you were at the little details e.g. my friend had a tickly cough during the ceremony and someone handed her a glass of water which was exactly what she needed and was very grateful for.

When you all do this day in and day out it might be that occasionally someone could feel fatigued but we both felt like everyone there loved their jobs and treated everything with care and made it all feel so special.

I would wholeheartedly recommend South Farm to anyone and look forward to coming back to visit.

Thank you so much,

Nicola and James, 18th May 2019

Dear Emily,

Thank you so much for everything you and the South Farm Team did for us on our Wedding Day. We really did have the best day ever, and you made sure that it ran seamlessly for us and we are so grateful.

Kasia & James, 3rd May 2019

Thank you so much for making our big day run so seamlessly and superbly well.

One of the reasons we choose South Farm is because we could see you are a well-oiled machine and care about all the little details that are so important to things running well. This all proved to be the case on our big day and we were delighted with how it all went with no problems at all.

Our guests were very complimentary of South Farm, the venue itself and the running of the day. People loved the food and we had many compliments about the food with one guest saying it was by far the best wedding food he had ever had.

 

Mike & Lotty, 27th April 2019

Hi Christine,

Thanks for your email, and a massive thank you to everyone at South Farm for making our day so special, we absolutely loved it.

The organisation, professionalism and attention to detail was something else and we couldn’t have wished for a better venue to host our wedding celebration.

 

Lotty & Mike Lewis, 27th April 2019

To the wonderful Team at South Fam,

We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for providing us with such an incredible and memorable wedding! Throughout all our planning stages up until execution of our wedding, the team have been absolutely amazing. We couldn’t have wished for more of a special day.

Best wishes from Lotty & Mike Lewis

Gemma & Mark xxx, 26th April 2019

To all at South Farm,

Thank you so much for everything!

We knew straight away that there was no other venue we wanted to our wedding reception at.

From start to finish you made the whole process exciting and stress free.

Your attention to detail is simply amazing and makes everyone – guests and Bridal Party, feel special.

We’re only sad that we can’t do it all over again, but hope to be back one day as guests.

Lots of love,

Maxine Hughes (wedding guest), 22nd April 2019

Attended a wedding here on Easter Monday. A fantastic venue, the day went without a hitch due to the fantastic organisation at the venue. Would recommend. The wedding breakfast was wonderful and catered for all dietary requirements. The gardens were lovely to wonder around during the day.

 

Mrs & Mrs Ferrari       , 20th April 2019

To everyone at South Farm,

South Farm is such a beautiful venue and we feel privileged to have had our wedding day there. Thank you for helping everything run so smoothly on the day. Thank you also for the fantastic food – everyone said it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had!

Love Kim & Stefan

 

 

Ellise & Ryan, 18th April 2019

Hello South Farm,

Ryan and I would like you all to know how thankful we are to the team at South Farm. Our special day was an absolute dream - all we could have hoped for and more. If we didn't know any better, we would have thought South Farm had organised the absolute gorgeous weather we had last Thursday too! There really aren't enough words to express our gratitude to everyone involved in the smooth running of the day, but in particular a HUGE THANKS to Emily who supported us in planning and organising and Summer in her friendly and highly skilled management on the day itself. We really wish we could repeat the day every year!

We will be trying our absolute best to convince any newly engaged friends to book with South Farm so we get to come back!

All the best to the phenomenal South Farm team,

 

Shauna & Jay Nash, 17th April 2019

We cannot recommend South Farm highly enough! All the way from booking our wedding with them over a year before, up until after our big day their customer service was faultless and they made everything so personal!!

Our day was everything we could ever have dreamt of and the staff were incredible – particularly Helga who ensured everything went to plan and was perfect. The venue speaks for itself – it’s absolutely stunning and so unique.

Memories we will cherish forever thanks to South Farm and all its amazing staff! We can’t thank you enough!

 

Reb and Arthur Desbois, 15th April 2019

Dear Emily, Summer, Helen, Alli and everyone else at South Farm!!!

Firstly, THANK YOU SO MUCH for such an amazing day back in April! The wedding was absolutely incredible and we are still reeling from the efforts, professionalism, and ease from the South Farm Team on the day! We wouldn't have changed a single moment and are so grateful to you all for making this special day so special! Helen, you were so awesome and thank you for making our friends and family so welcome!!! They all loved it, and have not stopped talking about the wedding, or South Farm since!

I also have to say how wonderfully helpful and supportive you have all been throughout, especially Emily and Alli, and thank you for all of your patience, advice and good humour throughout! Your supplier's list is incredible, and in using Sarah for Hair and Makeup, Gary for Music, Bea for Photography, and Gray's Coaches made the day so simple and easy! They are all fantastic at what they do, and we felt so supported throughout! This really is down to your organization and oversight, and is truly impressive...so thank you so much again!

Bea has just sent through the photos from the day and is keen to share them with you too. Please feel free to use any that you would like to, there are some truly stunning photos of the house and buildings! I'm also so happy Bea managed to get so many lovely photos of the little bits and pieces I made for the wedding! I am actually trying to set up a wedding design company, and hope that it will be OK to use some of the photos for my website too. Maybe a bit pie in the sky at this moment, but going for it, and hope to launch in the next few months!

Words can't describe how wonderful the whole process has been, and how happy Arthur and I are that we chose to get married at South Farm! Sincere thanks to EVERYONE for all of their efforts, and please do pass this on to the incredible team you have!

I feel that I can't stop saying thank you, and never will...so THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

All the very best,

Tom & Sophie Redman x, 12th April 2019

Dear South Farm,

We cannot thank you enough for helping us to have the most incredible, magical wedding day at your beautiful venue!

Everybody at South Farm was ever so friendly and professional and no question or request was too big of an ask. Our entire planning process was made as straight forward and stress free as possible and we both really enjoyed the experience :)

I cannot believe how calm and relaxed I felt on the morning of our wedding, largely due to the meticulous itinerary that South Farm provide. This paved the way for an immensely enjoyable and fuss free day – everything we could have hoped for!

We both made an effort to pop into the kitchen and give our heartfelt thanks to Will, who created a personalised main course for us, please pass on our appreciation once more!

Fabulous setting, food and entertainment – South farm, you were perfect!

Love,

Lynn & John Kelly (Groom’s Parents), 6th April 2019

Good evening James,

I am emailing to congratulate you and your team for providing a wonderful venue for our Son, Richard and his new bride Amber. The location and buildings are stunning and efficiently organised.

The food and service of your staff is to be highly commended and Emily provided a friendly but extremely efficient helping hand to the proceedings and no request was too much trouble for her.

We had an amazing day so please pass on our kind thanks to all the staff who made it such a fabulous occasion.

Kind regards

 

Leigh & Dan, 5th April 2019

Helen & the South Farm Team,

Thank you so much for everything you did for us! The day went so smoothly & was stress free!! The food was amazing & it was everything we hoped for.

Lots of love,

 

Brian & June Kilby (Bride's Parents), 5th April 2019

Dear All at South Farm!!!

Just wanted to thank all the Staff who contributed their efforts and hard work in making Leigh and Dan’s wedding perfect.

A very special thanks goes to Helen, whose coordination and expertise was professional, caring and was second to none.  Thank you!!

Wishing you all the best for future events.

Kindest regards,

 

Love Mr & Mrs Nolan, 22nd March 2019

Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone at South Farm for making our wedding day so special. It was just perfect! Wish we could do it all over again. Everything about South Farm is just amazing. Helen was just brilliant on the day taking away all the stress and making sure it all ran smoothly.

Cara & Martin, 16th March 2019

Hi,

Martin and I wanted to message to extend a huge thank you to all the amazing team at South Farm for our wedding on the 16 March. We knew the moment we walked round South Farm it was the venue for us, in both the run up to the big day and the big day itself you didn't disappoint... The day excelled all of our expectations and this wouldn't have happened without each and every one of you.

We felt incredibly looked after on the day, the food was amazing and no request was too much. I don't know how you all do it day in day out and still manage to deliver each wedding in the grand scale that you do – speechless.

No words will ever cover how much we would recommend you to anyone and everyone looking to tie the knot.

If you can, enjoy some well-earned rest and thanks again for the memories that will last a lifetime.

Kindest Regards

 

 

Mr & Mrs Norman, 8th March 2019

Dean Helen & all at South Farm,

Thank you all so much for making our day so perfect! It was everything we dreamed of and more!

Helen you did a fantastic job running our day, it was seamless!

Guests commented on the beautiful food, venue and how lovely the staff were!

Thank you all so much,

Love,

 

Mike Burchett, 8th March 2019

Dear South Farm,

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to you and your staff for a fantastic wedding on Friday between Colin Norman and Charlotte Winch.  I am Charlotte's Step-Dad and was helping with the organisation/announcements on the day. Your venue is extremely well run and the events on Friday could not have been better. Your staff were extremely helpful and friendly, and I wanted to say a special thank you to Helen, the Event Manager for the day.  She made the day run very smoothly and I was very disappointed to not thank her personally before she left, so please would you pass on my personal thanks to her.

I'm so glad that Colin and Charlotte chose your venue for their special day. They were so happy with the result – the venue is not only unique, but made the day extra special for them.

Thanks again!

Sigrid, 2nd March 2019

Wonderful in every way – beautiful, fantastic food, superb organisation, very personal and informal, so welcoming and comfortable. A magical place far away from stresses of ordinary life. We absolutely loved South Farm from the first time we arrived in the flower-lined fairy-lit drive, didn’t need to look anywhere else, it was perfect and accommodated all our complex multi-generational requirements without any problems. The tasting evening was one of the best nights out we’ve had! Thoroughly recommend, South Farm is very special.

Sigrid & Derek, 2nd March 2019

Hi Summer,

Can we say a huge THANK YOU to you all for making sure our special day was just that. You run such a fabulous and impressive place, every bit was a delight - food, venue, service, accommodation, the whole package. All of our guests commented on how lovely South Farm is, and also how comfortable, easy going, informal and welcoming.

Helga was an awesome Event Manager, I just did as I was told and all was well, it was so nice being looked after so closely the whole day! We will treasure our memories for ever.

We love South Farm and will miss our (frequent in my case) visits.

Warm wishes to all the team,

Rosie De Courcy Robinson, 23rd February 2019

What a wonderful venue – exceptional food and beautiful surroundings are further enhanced with the immense customer service and friendly approach the South Farm team adopt. They will be guaranteed to make your special day even more special than you can possibly imagine.                                                                        

 

Carole and Steve (Bride’s Parents), 17th February 2019

Hi,

I just couldn’t let a day go by without thanking everyone for making Annie and Charlie’s wedding such a very special/brilliant day

From when we came to visit you and book, I felt we were in safe hands. Everything was taken care of. On THE day Helen, our Events Manager for the day, was excellent looking after everyone and everything, literally - thank you Helen.

We all certainly enjoyed the whole day - but the comments from our friends have been amazing too. The food - fabulous, setting / venue – brilliant; I could go on. Suffice to say that we will not hesitate to highly recommend your colleagues and venue.

THANK YOU again for making it such a special day for Annie, Charlie and us too!!

Best wishes,

Joe & Katie, 16th February 2019

Hi Emily and team,

Hope you had a good weekend.

We had the perfect day at South Farm for our wedding. We had high expectations from when we first visited, and it surpassed even those. There was no job too small for the excellent team leading up to the day. Your organisation and responsiveness to our many questions and requests made our preparations so much easier.

On the day, our Event Manager, Jane, was extremely professional and fantastic at helping everything run smoothly. We were really impressed that every little detail was taken care of – from liaising with our florist and DJ to thoughtfully saving some canapés for the hungry Bride and Groom!

On the subject of food, the three course meal was a real highlight of the day. Many of our guests, completely unprompted, said that it was the best wedding food that they had ever eaten (and we agree!). Even the breakfast the next day for our overnight guests was delicious!

Thank you for making it a truly special, unforgettable day. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend South Farm to any couples who are looking for a beautiful wedding venue.

Best wishes,

Kerrie Howard, 11th February 2019

I honestly don’t know where to start but South Farm is the most amazing venue! Despite all the weddings they hold they are so organised and think of every little thing. Special thanks to Emily and Alli who helped us with the organisation and planning and a huge thank you to Helen our Event Manager on the day for being just so fantastic! The team really are amazing! They go above and beyond to give you the most individual day.                    

Emma & Josh Crane xxx, 9th February 2019

To Emily & everyone at South Farm,

You guys are all incredible!

 

Love                                                                                                                      

Gemma Chaffey, 7th February 2019

Literally THE best place to hold your wedding.

The venue is stunning and beautiful without having to do anything to it, it’s rustic charm brings something extra special to your day. The added bonus of all the animals just makes this venue so unique- we can’t wait to see our photos with the piglets!

All the staff at the venue are incredible, literally cannot do enough for you.

For our wedding they went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and ran smoothly due to allergies and pregnancies- literally had nothing to worry about.

Everyone is so friendly and will help in any way you need them to, or will sit back and allow you to just get on with it.

Food was exquisite and all our guests complimented on how good it was.

We couldn’t recommend this venue highly enough!

Gemma & Lee xx, 7th February 2019

Hi all,

First of all we just want to say thank you so much for everything you did for us on the run up to the wedding and on the day- you were all amazing!!

You all literally went above and beyond to help with our nut allergy making sure everything was nut free, accepting that you couldn’t serve certain alcohol, changing the food, checking the soaps and lotions, making sure your staff hadn’t eaten nuts- this was literally just amazing and I personally really can’t thank you enough for all of that, you made it so comfortable for me and my sister knowing that she was safe and could just enjoy herself, so thank you.

Thank you for allowing us to do something new that you’d never done before with the shot table when everyone walked in, the way you worked with me to make this how we wanted was just brilliant, it was exactly how we wanted, and thank you to the staff for setting that up, it was perfect!

Helga we wanted to thank you for making our day amazing- you were fantastic on the day!! We literally had to worry about nothing with you running our day, you made it all seam free and problem free. You made sure we always had what we needed, honestly you made the day perfect, so thank you so much.

We had the best day and morning after, so thank you all very much, we absolutely loved our wedding day and was so sad when it was over- we wanted to do it all again!

We couldn’t recommend you enough to other people and I know everyone that came to our wedding said how stunning the venue was.

Thank you so much once again- we had an amazing day and that was all due to you and your amazing team at South Farm

Thanks,

Don Simpson (Father of Bride), 19th January 2019

Dear Helga,

Please pass on a huge thanks to all involved on making my daughter’s wedding day amazing from the kitchen staff, waiting staff & everyone else.
