Ploy R. Sent on 17/11/2024A magical wedding venue that felt like home ✨
South Farm provided the most magical experience for our wedding. My husband and I loved that it felt like a beautiful rustic home hosting our wedding, not a corporate event space.
This feel is reinforced by the friendly and accommodating team at South Farm. Everyone we encountered was so nice and would go out of their way to be helpful, from the event managers through to the kitchen staff and gardeners. They ensured the whole day ran seamlessly and was as stress free as possible. We are also incredibly grateful they found a way for our dogs to stay for the whole wedding unlike other venues that claimed to be dog friendly, but in fact only allowed dogs for a short photo window and wouldn’t even countenance any flexibility.
Another reason we chose South Farm was the range of wonderful indoor and outdoor spaces that were all exclusively ours for the day. It meant we could rest easy that even if the weather wasn’t on our side the Old Dairy would still provide a charming indoor ceremony option (which it ended up being thanks to the British weather). It also meant there was minimal room turnaround faff disrupting the flow of the day unlike some venues where there really is only one room doing the heavy lifting, so to speak, for all parts of a wedding day. (The gorgeous Tudor Barn with its fairy light ceiling was an atmospheric setting for dinner and evening mingling, while the adjoining Horse Barn with its glass floor and lighting was perfect for dancing to the band, meanwhile my husband and I loved the cute library which was a lovely backdrop for photos.)
Another aspect of South Farm that deserves a special shout out is the food! It was amazing and we had so many guests praise the food and say it was the best they have ever had at a wedding.
Thank you so much, South Farm, for ensuring we, and our guests, just had the best day!

We could not recommend South Farm enough to any couple looking for the perfect venue.
Our wedding day was absolutely perfect from start to finish. All of the staff and our Event Manager on the day went above and beyond to make our day run seamlessly. The food was delicious and really impressed our guests as did the stunning venue and grounds which are immaculately kept by the South Farm team.
The team at South Farm made planning the wedding so much easier for us with excellent supplier recommendations, incredible attention to detail and so much support in the build up. We couldn’t have done it without them!
All of our guests had such an amazing day and for us, it will always be one of the best days of our lives. Our only wish would be that we could do it again! To all of the South Farm team, we cannot thank you enough.South Farm's reply:

Leslie M. Sent on 15/08/2024The most wonderful place and people
There are not enough words to describe how much we love South Farm and its team. After having looked around many different venues, looking around South Farm could not have stood out more. The whole place feels like a home that welcomes you with open arms. Every team member is kind, attentive, personable, supportive and caring. A special shout out has to go to Michelle, who was our Wedding manager on the day as well as in the lead up. She is just wonderful and even though she does this every day for a living, she made us feel like we were her best friends getting married. The food and the venue are fighting to be as sustainable as possible which was incredibly important to us, but they also are so passionate about making their couples and guests feel supported, welcome and loved. They even run events where couples who got married here can come back and enjoy being back, which just shows how much thought they put into making couples happy even after their big day is done. Their gardens are stunning, the guest rooms and event spaces are cozy, clean, elegant and bright, their food exceeds every expectation. They ran an absolutely magnificent day and we will be forever grateful to them. We love you!South Farm's reply:
Thank you so much Leslie for your amazing review, We loved reading your kind words and we are so happy that you felt so at home at South Farm and had a perfect day. It was our pleasure to host your wedding day and we are so happy that you and your wedding guests enjoyed every part of the journey! We look forward to welcoming you back to visit South Farm again soon x -

Stunning venue with amazing staff to produce the perfect wedding!
We remember our first look around South Farm 3 years ago. It was only the second venue we looked at but we instantly fell in love with the yellow and blue house with gorgeous roses growing up it, the immaculate gardens and converted barn areas. The staff were friendly, informative and offered us an estimate of our day should we choose them. Needless to say it didn’t take us long to book our date! 05.08.2024
When we received our invite to the tasting evenings we couldn’t contain our excitement; who wouldn’t love an evening FULL of food and wine!? We were completely bowled over by how delicious every bit of food was and will always remember that evening! It was so fun tasting each dish together and marking them all out of 10 like novice food critics.
The last time we visited South Farm prior to our wedding was for our planning meeting. Evie was so friendly and helpful and was able to answer all of our questions. This meeting helped us envisage what our perfect day would look like.
Now to the big day! Where do I start other than it was perfect from start to finish thanks to the amazing weather, stunning venue and lovely staff!
A massive thank you must go to Hayley (our wedding coordinator) who was absolutely amazing! Nothing was too big of an ask and she was so attentive and helpful through the entire day. All of the staff working on our wedding day were amazing and they are all worth their weight in gold!
We were so lucky with the weather on our wedding day and were able to get married outside like we dreamt of. I didn’t stop hearing our guests gushing over how stunning the venue was all day. The gardens are immaculately kept as is every building within the grounds. The rooms are something out of a 5* bed and breakfast and we didn’t want to leave the coach house the morning after as it was so lovely!
THE FOOD! Our favourite part of the day! WOW just WOW! We opted for the two course hog roast with a trio of desserts followed by the finger buffet in the evening. This exceeded our expectations and all of our guests couldn’t believe how delicious everything was. We had guests say to us it was the best hog roast they’ve ever had, one say that their vegetarian dish was the best veggie meal they have ever had and needed the recipe and everyone was going up for more!
We will never be able to thank everyone at South Farm enough for making our day so special and would recommend South Farm as a wedding venue to anyone!South Farm's reply:
Thank you Sophie for your very kind words - we really appreciate you taking the time to leave us such an amazing review and we are thrilled to hear you had such a wonderful wedding day from start to finish! It was our absolute pleasure to host your special day and we are delighted to hear that you and your guests enjoyed our beautiful gardens and delicious food and that you were lucky with the weather! Huge congratulations from all the team here at South Farm and we hope to see you again soon x -

Amy S. Sent on 07/08/2024Best day of our lives!
From the moment we stepped foot in South Farm on our first visit, two years ago, we knew it was the venue for us. Everyone is so unbelievably friendly, the grounds are absolutely beautiful and the main house is just perfect.
Throughout the planning process, all of our questions and queries were dealt with quickly and efficiently and we were always made to feel like our day was important, despite the team managing up to six weddings per week. Nothing ever seemed to be too much trouble. We also had an unbelievable experience at the food tasting evening. Although, everything was so delicious that it was almost even harder to choose our menu for the day!
On the day, Helen was our event manager and she put us at ease from the moment we arrived. We did have high expectations of our day but she went above and beyond anything we could have imagined to make our day ran smoothly. She is such an amazing person and was much like a fairy godmother to us! Helen’s attitude was reflected in all the staff we came across. Every single person, from the bar staff to house keeping, and waiters and waitresses to the owner of the venue, were absolutely fabulous. Everyone played a role in making the day so faultless.
We would also like to give a special mention to Evie, who conducted our final planning meeting and played a key role in updating all of our documents between then and the big day. Evie was so kind, knowledgable and organised and made the process really easy for us.
All of our guests commented on how delicious the food was, saying it was the best wedding food they had ever had and many said it was the best wedding they had been to. We had lots of guests with various dietary requirements and these were managed carefully which was really reassuring for us and our guests.
There aren’t enough words to truly describe our gratitude to everyone at South Farm. We really can’t thank you all enough for the best and most special day of our lives. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the venue to other couples and really can’t wait to come back and visit at one of your events one day soon.South Farm's reply:
Thank you Amy & Richard for your amazing review and very kind words. We are over the moon to hear that you had a perfect wedding day and that the process leading to your big day was also seamless. We pride ourselves on being a foodie wedding venue and we are so thrilled to hear that you and your guests enjoyed the wedding food and you all felt so well looked after. We look forward to seeing you back at South Farm again soon x -
