From our initial enquiry, first visit, menu tasting, the wedding, and all the way through to post wedding communication, South Farm were exceptional! Their hospitality and customer service were undeniably the best we’ve ever experienced. Our wedding was the best day of our lives. It was so good that we have even received thank you cards and messages from our guests for an incredible day and memories that will last a lifetime. It was perfect. All of the team are outstanding but a special thank you goes to Evie, our wedding day event manager. She made our day seamless. This venue is award winning for a reason. The venue is beautiful, the food is mouth-wateringly delicious and the hospitality is first class. We can’t express our gratitude nearly enough. It was the best day ever! Thank you South Farm.

South Farm is an amazing venue. The staff were fantastic and so accommodating. The food was brilliant, accommodation excellent and the buildings and grounds are beautiful. We knew on our first visit that it was where we wanted to get married - we didn’t even look anywhere else!

We couldn’t be more full of gratitude and appreciation to South Farm for hosting our perfect wedding day a year ago today on 28th May 2023. All the staff were absolutely incredible and hugely supportive throughout the entire process. From our first visit, to the food tasting evening and right through to our wedding breakfast, they went above and beyond to make our day truly special and uniquely ours. Hayley was our wedding planner on the day and she was exceptional. From reassuring us, making sure everything ran seamlessly and letting the day flow naturally, she made us feel relaxed and present in the moment which enabled us to just enjoy ourselves! We have had so many compliments from our guests on what a fantastic time they had, how beautiful the venue and gardens were, and how delicious the food was. South Farm is a truly magical venue and it created a stunning backdrop for our day of love and celebration! We couldn’t have asked for anything more and couldn’t be happier. We just wish we could do it all over again! Thank you so much South Farm for making our day so special and memorable! Lizzie and Sam D 28.05.23
