We are absolutely thrilled to share that our countryside wedding venue in Hertfordshire has been awarded ‘Best Wedding Event Team’ at The Wedding Industry Awards 2026. This wonderful achievement was proudly accepted by Hayley, Nikki, Evie, and Annie from our fantastic South Farm team at the East of England Regional Finals on Monday 24th November.
The Wedding Industry Awards are renowned for celebrating excellence across the wedding sector. As the only awards in the UK that combine expert judging with genuine client feedback, this recognition feels particularly special to us. It reflects the hard work, dedication, and heartfelt passion our entire team pours into every special day at the Farm, ensuring each wedding at South Farm is magical, seamless, and truly unforgettable for our amazing couples.
“The Wedding Industry Awards’ is the most rigorous, respected and coveted awards in the UK wedding industry so the regional Winners really are at the top of their game,” says Founder of The Wedding Industry Awards, Damian Bailey. “The competition is tough, the standards very high indeed, but thanks to over 26,747 client votes and our panel of more than 160 expert judges, the Regional Winners have risen to the top in an industry that absolutely demands the best.”
A huge amount of love goes out to our incredible South Farm team! From our talented chefs crafting unforgettable dishes behind the scenes, to our dedicated garden team who keep every corner of the grounds looking absolutely beautiful all year round. Our amazing housekeeping crew (aka the dream team!) work tirelessly to keep everything spotless, while our fabulous front-of-house team greet every guest with warmth and care. And we can’t forget our incredible night team (aka the Night Fairies) who carefully take down each couple’s décor at the end of the night, refresh the venue, and prepare it perfectly for the next celebration.
And, of course, a very special shout-out to our wonderful Event Team. They are truly the heartbeat of every wedding day — the calm, organised, and reassuring presence that makes sure every moment flows seamlessly. From coordinating suppliers and perfecting timelines to supporting our couples with genuine care and attention, they ensure every wedding feels magical, unforgettable, and uniquely personal. Teamwork really does make the dream work, and we are only ever as good as the incredible people who make up South Farm. We are so grateful for each and every one of them
We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to The Wedding Industry Awards for this prestigious recognition, and to all of our wonderful couples who took the time to vote for us. Your support is truly appreciated, and we are honoured to have been a part of your special wedding celebrations.
Next stop the FINALS in Liverpool…wish us all the luck!!
