Reviews

Just a quick note to say thank you so much for making our wedding day so special, and a total triumph! We had an absolutely fantastic day, it really couldn't have gone any better, and you were great at smoothing out all the little niggles that popped up during the day. Please thank all the staff for us- from those that showed us round, the people that helped us at the planning meetings, the staff there on the morning and all those working during the event, everyone was so well informed, polite and nice! It really made everything run so smoothly on the day, and added to how calm and relaxed we felt through the whole day. Thanks also to the chef and all his team, the food was absolutely superb, and our guests certainly thought so too. We couldn't recommend you guys highly enough, and will certainly be spreading the word about what an amazing venue South Farm is, with a fabulous team. Thanks again, all the very best to everyone at South Farm for a great 2017!

Well... what can we say! We cannot thank you enough for such a beautiful stunning day on Saturday. Helga and all the team were simply amazing. Anything we needed was supplied and the attention to detail was impeccable! So many of our guests commented on what a beautiful venue it was, how tasty and elegant the food was, and how brilliant and helpful Helga and all the staff were. People couldn't believe how we managed to find such a stunning and unique venue... Plus how lucky we were to have the sun shine on us! We can't thank you enough. Thank you so so much again! With love, Carly and Jay xxx (Mr and Mrs Hammond!!!!)

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all at South Farm who made my daughter and Son-in-Law's wedding such a happy, special and truly memorable occasion. The setting was lovely, the food exceptional and the running of the day, managed for us by Helga, was flawless. All our guests turned up despite the atrocious weather in the evening and everyone remarked what a lovely time they'd had. The morning breakfast with our family and friends topped off a wonderful and unforgettable occasion. Many, many thanks to you all on behalf of Amy and Sam and please pass on my heartfelt thanks to Helga and her team.

We are just back from our honeymoon and wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone at south farm for making our wedding such a special day! We have had so many comments from our guests on how lovely the venue was, how incredible the food was and how smoothly the day ran. Huge thanks in particular to Becky and Alli for being amazing throughout all the planning and to James and the whole team who worked so hard on the day. It was really perfect and we enjoyed it so much!
