    Such an amazing place and people

    Alicja and the team were all so amazing! Everything was perfect and I can't imagine being married anywhere else. Thank you so much to everyone who took part in helping on our special day ❤️

    Amazing Accommodating Venue!

    Amazing venue, gorgeous and brilliant staff! Super accommodating when things needed fixing up or shifting after a bit of family drama! The ladies who looked after us were amazing and the staff working the event were amazing too!!

    Beautiful Rustic November Wedding

    From our first meeting to see the venue we fell in love with it, we had seen a few venues prior but Donington Park Farmhouse was perfect, exactly the kind of venue we were looking for. A warm rustic country feel, a large enough venue but still managed to feel cozy.
    Very quick communication throughout the process, we had a few meetings with the venue leading up to the date. The ladies were amazing, we went with questions but before we had chance to ask, the answers were already provided which was brilliant. Very detailed and they would go through the running order of the big day for me so nothing was forgotten.

    The venue is beautiful with fairy lights and the outdoor courtyard was fantastic for family photos. The food was absolutely amazing and everyone was very happy with it. One thing we would say, for the evening service, there was enough food for everyone but most of the day guests didn't choose to have any, if we were to go through it all again we would probably reduce the amount of food to save on waste and money.

    One issue, was being able to decorate the venue, you cannot get into the venue until 10am to decorate and guests can arrive from 12pm so it’s a tight deadline. We had decorators and friends handle this, but if you are doing this yourself it is a mammoth task to undertake. It wasn’t until the week before that I was informed you can potentially access the venue the evening before, by this time we had already hired decorators.

    Cannot fault the venue or staff at all, service and standards were excellent.

    Awesome Day!

    We had around 3 months to plan our wedding day and the staff were great every step of the way! Very professional and one of the bonuses of this venue was the amount of onsite accommodation which was great for our older and further afield guests.

    Above and beyond from start to finish

    Every single member of staff from the get go, were just incredible. No question was too silly and I was never made to feel like I was being a bit 'extra'. So the pre-amble to the wedding involved some rescheduling on our part as well as the usual organising. Despite what you'd think would be stressful (having to move wedding dates), the whole team made it incredibly easy. On the day, the service was just as excellent. The venue was exactly what we envisioned and honestly, if in 20 years we were to renew our vows, we had such a magical day that I'd want to do it there all over again.

    We had the perfect day. Everything was how we expected it to be and more!

    We had the most beautiful wedding day at Donnington Park Farmhouse. All the meetings before the wedding were very professional and all communication was amazing, right up to our special day. Everything ran really smoothly, even with our 2 year old daughter and 6 year old little boy. Our daughter has a cows milk intolerance and there were plenty of options for her and nothing was too much trouble. All the staff were very professional from start to end. Our guests were very well looked after. The meal we chose was delicious and many of our guests said the same. We were made to feel very special for the whole day and everything was thought out and well planned. The venue is absolutely stunning and so many of our guests commented on this. We didn't need many decorations for the venue either, as it is so beautiful anyway. The rooms were lovely and had everything we needed as a family and for all our guests and the breakfast in the morning was absolutely delicious! We had the most amazing time and it was everything we wanted for our wedding day and so much more. We couldn't have wished for a better day and we will cherish it forever.

    A perfect atmosphere created by exemplary staff

    We had our wedding at Donington Park Farmhouse in June of this year and couldn’t have chosen a better venue. The staff clearly have pride in their work. Special mention to Alicja, Josie, Millie and Amber who all were absolute angels during the planning and on the day. The venue has such a relaxed atmosphere, but is still very elegant. You have exclusive access to the various spaces in the barn, which our guests really appreciated seeing as we had both the ceremony and reception at the venue. The natural features and decor of the barn meant little decoration was required on the day. The wedding breakfast and evening food were both excellent (we particularly recommend the cheeseboard), as was breakfast the following morning in the hotel. Couldn’t have asked for more!
