The BEST place to get married!

Field Place was truly the most fantastic choice of venue for our wedding. All the details were perfect and tailored to our every need. The team are so lovely and they guide you and help you every step of the way. Planning our wedding with FP was so enjoyable, Amanda and Emma are so efficient and welcoming - they really get to know you which is important. Our actual wedding day was simply magnificent and we couldn’t have asked for a better service from a venue. The grounds are stunningly beautiful all year round too!! Thank you Field Place, would 1000% recommend. X

Perfectly managed wedding day!

We got married at Field Place in October and the hosts and venue were absolutely perfect!

We love attending weddings at barns in the countryside, but they're always a pain for everyone to travel to. But Field Place gives you the cosy, warm barn feel while being really easy to get to. It's secluded and hidden, quiet, the gardens are stunning, and it really makes you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere - but there's proper transport links so it's easy for your guests to get to! It was a great balance.

The events manager, Emma, was fantastic. She made us feel relaxed and confident that everything was in safe hands. (Thanks for putting up with me and all my little questions over the year!)

They also host wedding fairs every few months, we strongly recommend you attend these as you can meet all the suppliers and it really helps to see the venue in its full glory and gives you a chance to picture how it will look for your wedding.

When it came to the big day, Emma managed every detail flawlessly, ensuring that everything flowed perfectly. We are so grateful for the effort they put into making our day truly special!

Highly recommend Field Place for anyone looking for a beautiful and well managed venue for their party or wedding.

Extremely organised team, beautiful gardens and fantastic food

Hardings catering was absolutely fantastic and all the guests commented about it. Amanda and Emma were always quick to reply with any questions (especially the week before the wedding when I had millions) and on the day, were extremely organised and efficient. The gardens and grounds are absolutely stunning and we were lucky enough to have sunshine, which made the pictures absolutely perfect! The day could not have gone any better. We had ICPhotographics (Sophie) as our photographer and Morgan Andreww as our videographer; both were exceptional and made us feel so relaxed while getting amazing shots!

Amazing! Best day ever!

As soon as we came to view Field Place we fell in love instantly and knew it would be our wedding venue.. the staff are so helpful and cater to your every need!

The package deal is perfect. Takes the stress of planning a wedding completely away so you can just relax and enjoy the run up and the day as a whole!

Every aspect is covered (or helped with). We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better venue!

Every supplier within the package was attentive, helpful and listened to what you wanted/needed. I couldn’t recommend this venue highly enough! Thank you so much for helping pull off the best day we’ve ever had! S&T xx

Exceptional Wedding Venue: Field Place Manor and Barns

I am thrilled to express my utmost satisfaction with Field Place Manor and Barns, our chosen wedding venue. The picturesque surroundings, including the beautifully maintained barns and Manor, provided an enchanting backdrop for our special day.

The venue's staff exhibited exceptional professionalism and attention to detail throughout the planning process, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience. The catering services surpassed expectations, offering a delightful culinary experience that impressed both us and our guests.

Field Place Manor and Barns stand out for their commitment to cleanliness, organization, and aesthetic details.

Fantasic venue, value for money, attention to detail

A fab team at Field Place - they definitely put the bride and groom at the heart of the day. They are a very slick team and know exactly how to make the day run smoothly for you. It was by far the most reasonably price venue for the quality of what you get.

We used a mid-week package which was also applicable for Sundays, so we had ours on a Sunday which was perfect!

The gardens are what makes the venue go from great to amazing. We had our ceremony outside and it was spectacular.

There wasn't loads of flexibility on things such as the caterers as you have to use their chosen supplier, however Hardings were UNREAL and everyone commented that it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding - no one went hungry, the portions were amazing.

The events team are a well oiled machine and make everything run to time and to plan. If you are looking for a venue that sorts most things out for you and look after you really well on the day, then this is the venue for you!

Absolutely Amazing!!

From the first communication with the team at Field Place until our wedding day they were great, our day was just perfect and that was all down to the team who kept everything running like clockwork! Amanda and Emma were always available for any questions and being able to have catch up meetings with them to put our minds at ease during such an overwhelming time. The venue is just breathtaking. The different food options were great as we didn’t want a traditional 3 course wedding breakfast so being able to chose the BBQ option was ideal, our guests said it was the best wedding breakfast they had ever had and such a wide range of food to chose from.
Overall I would recommend Field Place to anyone trying to choose their wedding venue, I would love to relive our day again.

Excellent wedding venue

We were married at Field Place with the midweek package. It was excellent value for money for what it covered, including photographer, wedding stationary, centrepieces and magic mirror. All of the suppliers used were top class, especially the caterers Hardings whose food was exquisite. Emma and Amanda, who help to plan and organise the wedding with you, are very helpful, knowledgeable and responsive and the day ran so smoothly with no issues. The venue itself is stunning and we had the benefit of being able to get married in the gardens which are beautiful. I would 100% recommend this as a wedding venue.

Absolutely outstanding!

From day one they had been nothing but excellent! From the first viewing, leading right up to the big day! They are a great team who take pride in what they do. My day was PERFECT, I wish I could go back and do it all again.
To me they are so much more than 'just a business' they are like family 🩷

Our dream wedding!

After looking at a few venues for our wedding, we came across Field Place and fell in love with it straight away! We knew that this was the place that we wanted to have our special day, from the beautiful grounds and the ease of having our full day here. Amanda was fab throughout the whole planning process, she goes above and beyond to make the day perfect and is only an email (or meeting!) away for any advice and questions that we needed to ask! Our wedding day was seamless, it went so smoothly and that’s all because of Amanda, Emma and their team who looked after us on the day!
We had the most wonderful wedding day at Field Place❤️

A great wedding venue and team!

We had our wedding at Field Place on 2nd November. I had the venue on my list since 2019, so when we came to look for our wedding in 2022 it was always a top contender; seeing it set up with some decor on one of their open days made it a no brainer!

Field Place do some amazing wedding packages. Having shopped around, their prices were super competitive and this of course is important when dealing with wedding as the cost can get out of hand quickly. The very fair pricing enabled us to be able to have all the added extras we could have dreamed of which made our day totally tailored to us.

From the get go, we also found Amanda and Emma communicated with us well - from the show rounds to 1-1 meetings to check in throughout the two years. I would always receive thorough email responses back to my questions and they were always willing to help.

Amanda and Emma are clearly very experienced with weddings and they made sure our day ran smoothly so we had very little to worry about.

Amanda went above and beyond at times, including staying behind at the venue the night before our wedding when I was running late so I could drop off some of our decor and offering to drop our cake stand back to our cake maker. We had our 4 month old baby at our wedding, and Emma mucked in to support with her care during the morning prep and the ceremony which was invaluable!

The only slight down side is that there is little flexibility with caterers and alcohol. Field Place have their own caterers who you have to use and you are unable to bring your own alcohol. Although in saying this, Harding’s were amazing and their food had so many compliments. Adam made sure that dinner service ran smoothly and to time and always responded to my e-Mail communication quickly.

Field Place have some really strong connections with other local suppliers and they have worked together frequently, meaning their positive working relationship takes stress away from us as the ‘clients’ as they communicate amongst themselves.

When we look back at our wedding day and the photos, we are filled with so much happiness and joy that we went with Field Place. The venue and grounds are already beautiful, but when you see the venue come alive with the decor - it’s stunning.

Thank you Amanda and Emma for being such a big part in us having an unforgettable day! X
