Reviews for Runa Farm
Wedding day more amazing than we could of ever imagine!
Exceptional day
The whole team were fabulous and did everything with a smile on their face and had the best positive energy. We literally didn’t have to think about anything. Emma, Amy and Ian sorted our entire day with a smile on their face and amazing banter. We literally felt like we had known the team for years, they just made us feel so comfortable and at ease in their presence. They are all exceptional at their jobs and you don’t need to worry about anything and just go with the flow, trust the process and have an exceptional day! Nothing was any trouble if we needed to change things or add things and it just added such a special touch to the wedding, could not have asked for a better team.
The food was amazing and they really accommodated for everyone, even the fussy ones….!
We had lots of comments from our guests saying what a beautiful venue it was and how accommodating all the staff were. The venue is stunning but it’s also the people that make it extra special.
We stayed the night before and were greeted from the beginning with smiles and positive energies from all the staff we met. We relaxed in the outdoor hot tub and got to see an owl fly past which was another magical part of our wedding lead up.
The next day we were packing up our things but both Emma and Ian came across chatting with us. It felt so lovely that just because our day was over, the staff still had time for us and wanted to check if there was anything at all that we needed.
The wedding day itself was exceptional and such a magical day. Could not fault any part of it. We really felt looked after and felt the love from the entire team! Can’t wait to go back on another occasion.
The best day of our lives
Perfect in every way!
On the day we didn't have to think about a single detail. We sat down with the unbelievably amazing Emma and hashed out a plan of action the night before our wedding and she was not only meticulous but thoughtful, funny, and took command of all of our suppliers. I've never met anyone so unbelievably good at their job. If you get married at Runa, you have to ask for Emma.
However you'll also want Ethan. Ethan was a phenomenal master of ceremonies. He looked after us on the day, calmed our nerves and made sure we were where we needed to be. He befriended all of our guests and made everyone feel incredibly welcome. He listened to our rubbish jokes and joined in at every step.
Emma and Ethan were a powerhouse of a team backed by a wonderful support team. Every single member of staff went out of their way to make us feel special.
They made our day perfect and I'll absolutely be telling everyone that they need to get married at Runa. What an amazing team and a beautiful venue!
The Hutchinson’s September 2024
The most amazing team and most amazing venue
The venue is stunning and I didn’t need to bring too many decorations, it already is stunning.
Our beautiful, magical, perfect day.
Out of this world best venue
Jenna our wedding coordinator whom morning was too much trouble to all the brilliant staff at Runa farm I’m only sorry I didn’t get all their names! So I’ll list the ones I can remember - the lady who walked us round the night before and tended bar during the day (eve, Ava, Eva possibly) lovely lady. The lady on the front desk who late into the evening before when we realised we were scammed by our photographer came to the rescue and called Tom another member of staff who wasn’t working the day of our wedding but took the time to come and shoot our wedding between studio time - a budding photographer whom I’d recommend to anyone showing us shots along the way that look to be amazing without taking our masses of time of our wedding day. We can’t thank him enough for his time and pricing.
Few other shout outs - Ian our master of ceremonies what a guy just had us feeling at ease all day and couldn’t do enough for us. The lady also running our day I didn’t catch her name but she took the time to check on my 6 year old nephew when he became overwhelmed with emotions and had to sit in the bar area during speeches to chill out. There was also a waitress short hair with red in just lovely always a smile on her face. All the staff infact just fantastic and professional.
The food! My word so many complements that it was the best wedding food they have ever had! So well worth the money. For context we had breakfast bites arrival bites, canapé reception after ceremony. For the wedding breakfast we had gourmet bbq with pimp your own fries, crepes and waffles with lots of different toppings. Then fish and chip cones in the evening food along with the cake.
Venue itself just stunning from top to bottom.
Out of this world
We used the farm house the night before which was well equipped and such a gorgeous place to get ready. It’s such a relaxing environment to calm any nerves!
The day its self was managed by Emma, who had initially shown us around, and she went above and beyond to make sure it was perfect. She took away any stresses or worries I had straight away.
Ian was our master of ceremonies and he was great, nothing was too much to ask and he was great with our boys.
The serving and waiting staff were fab but special mention to Lewis who was there from the night before until we checked out the day after, he was very helpful and friendly, an asset to the venue.
The only negative I have is that the day is over and we can’t do it again!
I would recommend Runa to anyone looking for a well run, organised, stress free wedding in an outstanding location and beautiful venue!
Perfect day start to finish
From the first step into Runa Farm we were looked after. We were fairly certain from the images online that it was the wedding venue for us but seeing it in person was just another level! It’s the perfect mix of rustic and elegant and the ceremony room is just dreamy!
Our wedding coordinator Jenna was incredible throughout the whole process and I don’t think she could have made us both feel any more confident about everything if she’d tried. Her communication was amazing and everyone went above and beyond accommodating any requests that we had. We could tell that we’d chose the right venue and company.
Each and every part of our day ran perfectly and that was all down to the staff. All of the waiters/waitresses and bar staff were so lovely and the bar staff especially made us feel super special throughout the day. The food was also incredible!
Emma who was at reception on arrival started off the few days perfectly and set the tone making us feel really excited. Our meal on the evening before with our family and friends was also lovely in the Smithy.
Becca our wedding manager made us feel at ease from the get go during our meeting the night before. She didn’t miss a single detail and was happy to make any tiny changes that we needed. On the day she was so relaxed which wore off on me, my husband and the rest of the bridal party. Even though she was really laid back, I could tell she was also amazing at her job and was going to make sure all the details were spot on.
A special mention has to go to Ian the MOC on our day. Ian was actually at our food tasting evening back in December, so it was lovely to see his face again. His aura just makes you feel instantly at ease and you can tell he truly loves what he does. Myself and my husband could rave about him all day long, he looked after us like we were royalty. My Mum also had so many good things to say about Ian. He really made her feel comfortable and helped her whenever needed. Ian is the perfect MOC and he is absolutely amazing in this role.
From start to finish our day was just a dream and we can’t thank everyone enough!
Best Day Ever!!!!!
The wedding of our dreams
From the start, the whole team were incredible, and our wedding coordinator Jenna was helpful, kind and attentive to everything we needed/wanted.
The venue was everything we could have hoped for, from the decor, service, rooms and food, it was all perfect.
Major shoutout to our wedding manager on the day, Emma, and out MC Ian, who were utterly perfect and made the day go off without a hitch. Couldn't fault a single thing they did, they went above and beyond to make it the most stress free wedding day for us both.
10000% would recommend anyone to get married here, you won't be dissapointed, and all our guests commented on how incredible the venue and staff were!
