Weddings With a Wild Side.
Nestled in the Olchon Valley near Hereford in England's Herefordshire region, Lower House Farm is a picturesque barn wedding venue. Here, you can escape the world outside and reconnect with nature as you celebrate your once-in-a-lifetime day at the foot of the Black Mountains. Set amongst 70 acres of rolling hills, wildflower meadows, orchards, and streams, the property's charming 17th-century oak-framed barn has been lovingly restored. Take in the beautiful backdrop of the mountains, play lawn games in the meadows, or sneak off to the secret waterfall for some beautiful couple’s portraits. Then, as the sun goes down, toast marshmallows around the firepits and finish the day on a memorably charming note.
Facilities and Capacity
There are plenty of beautiful spots to choose from for hosting your ceremony at Lower House Farm, with stunning local churches or a ceremony at the farm. This includes the magnificent and ever popular oak tree sat on the edge of the Olchon Brook. If an outdoor ceremony isn't an option, there is also a wonderful covered yard space.
The oak-framed barn is an impressive space at the heart of the farm. It can seat up to 100 people for your wedding feast on long wooden tables and sheepskin-adorned benches. Come evening, there is the capacity for up to 140 guests to dance the night away. Light up the firepits and transform the barn into a dance floor, slip on your dancing shoes and make the evening one to remember.
Services Offered
One of the in-house wedding coordinators at Lower House Farm will work closely with you to help you make your dream a reality. They start the process with a venue tour and initial planning meeting to get to know your ideas. The farm's exclusive-use policy offers peace and privacy for your special day.
Cuisine
Catering for events held here is taken care of inhouse by Wild by Nature. Seasonal produce and sustainability are at the heart of everything they do, with simple dishes that let the food's freshness take centre stage. On their menus, you’ll find grass-fed beef and hogget along with free-range pork and home cured charcuterie, prepared right on the farm. Not forgetting the sourdough pizzas for the evening- delicious.

Reviews for Lower House Farm
The most beautiful place to get married
We are still on cloud nine after our wedding at Lower House Farm last week. It was the most beautiful location to get married, with incredibly delicious food, amazing staff and a wonderful place to stay for the weekend. We were lucky enough that the sun shone all day and we got to marry under the old oak tree - it was beautiful and intimate despite being in the big open field.
We felt fully supported every step of the way by Natalie, who also helped coordinate on the day which was especially important to us as we did most of it ourselves. The rest of the staff on the day were incredible - attentive, friendly and always on hand when we needed them. The bar staff were smiley ALL day, the waiters remained happy even with two coats and hats on when the evening turned cold, and the team the next morning had already packed up our things so we could take them away seamlessly.
It was important to us that we got married somewhere with space outside, locally sourced food and a relaxed atmosphere and Lower House Farm was just that. We cannot recommend it enough.
Our guests had the most wonderful day and all agreed it was well worth travelling for - some as far as Dublin, Perth and Vancouver! They loved being served drinks from the old train carriage and playing games on the lawn, they all thought the food was amazing and the setting beautiful, and everyone had a great time putting their wellies on and walking down to the waterfall!
If we could do it all over again this week, we would in a heartbeat!
Thank you - Lauren & Rob
Amazing venue, setting and team!
Amie was incredibly helpful and organised in the lead up to the day, arranging calls to talk things through and answer any questions, making the whole thing so smooth and stress free. We felt there was enough flexibility to make the venue our own and unique, and the team gave us plenty advice on how to make some of ideas for the day come to life, including a walking brass band and hanging decorations in the outside barn.
On the day the team went above and beyond to make sure everyone was catered for. The food was incredible and we've had so many of our guests comment on how friendly the staff were, and how delicious the meal and canapes were, which was a really important element for us. The attention to detail was amazing - we had quite a few guests with specific dietary requirements but they were given separate canapes and meals which meant we didn't have to worry.
We were lucky to also be able to stay at Old Great Marlborough across the weekend too with our nearest and dearest, which made the weekend even more special and extended the celebrations.
We left really feeling like Amie and the team were friends and part of our wedding party, and we couldn't recommend this venue highly enough!

The most perfect day
The food is beyond delicious too – really exciting flavours, served with generosity and style. We might be biased, but we think it was the best food of any wedding we’ve ever been to.
Emily and Nicole were fantastically proactive from start to finish. We really felt they were looking out for us and had every little detail covered, including great recommendations for suppliers. It felt so reassuring to know we were in such safe hands. Everyone commented on how friendly and lovely the serving and bar staff were too.
Our day was everything we wanted and so much more – and that wouldn’t have happened without Lower House Farm and everyone there.
Amazing venue
The teams attention to detail cannot be faulted and our guests are still raving about the food, especially those with various dietary requirements whose food was just as delicious as the rest of the guests!
We would absolutely recommend Lower House Farm to anyone who is looking for a relaxed, countryside, rustic wedding venue.
Fantastic Wedding Venue in the Black Mountains
Their events manager Emily is simply brilliant with a real eye for detail (not easy during a pandemic!) and the first-class food is all cooked on their lovingly handmade outdoor wood oven.
Although we got married in their field under a 600-year-old oak tree, there is a small historic chapel nearby and guests who chose to camp are well provided for on site.
We couldn’t recommend highly enough.

The perfect venue!
We got married here in early November 2021 with a ceremony in the yard area and a fantastic meal inside the barn. Emily is a fantastic wedding coordinator and made sure the day went smoothly. From our initial contact to the day and beyond she has been there answering questions and helping us to plan our perfect day, nothing was ever too much trouble!
The food was fantastic, head chef Esther and her team created an incredible meal not to forget the delicious canapés to begin and pizzas in the evening. They catered for complex dietary requirements and the food was enjoyed by all. The vegetarian option was a particular hit amongst our guests!
The drinks were fantastic too with a delicious hot honey and gin drink that warmed everyone up, local wines and bubbles. A massive thanks to the bar team who were so incredibly friendly.
Whilst we haven’t seen our official photos yet, we know they will be perfect with photos on the swing by the huge oak tree, to the waterfall area to evening photos under the twinkling lights!
We used lots of the recommended suppliers who were all fantastic too. Thank you Lower house farm for our perfect wedding day. We wouldn’t change a thing and would recommend you to anyone considering getting married in the area. We cannot thank you enough.
September wedding
From start to finish, everything was easy when it came to organising our special day, with our venue coordinator Natalie on hand at all times for any questions or concerns we had. On the day everything ran seamlessly with a brilliant team.
The food and drinks are an absolute highlight and our wedding guests haven’t stopped talking about it since! Everything is sourced from the farm or locally and we loved their mission for sustainability.
We would really recommend this venue to nature lovers who love the outdoors and good food!
Would highly recommend!
