Description

Situated in the beautiful rural Lincolnshire countryside, our idyllic and tranquil setting consists of over 30 acres of lush green lawns and parkland. Perfectly positioned beneath the uniquely romantic ruin of Kirkstead Abbey, our venue is bursting with historical charm and even has its own on-site 13th century church. Our beautifully renovated barns have been designed to retain their unique and authentic Rustic Charm, whilst adding a modern luxury twist. Complete with twinkling fairy lights, the warmth and rustic nature of the exposed timber add a genuinely romantic and heartwarming atmosphere to any wedding day. For each couple, there is huge flexibility when choosing how to use the spacious grounds and barns. This customisable element is reflected throughout every aspect of the venue. The choice is yours when deciding between multiple ceremony sites (including outdoor options!), your wedding breakfast location, round/long tables … the list goes on! Couples are also able to hand pick all of their own suppliers, making their day much more personal. As a small, family run business, from the initial viewing to the day itself, Venue Owner Jo and Wedding Manager Millie are always available to offer as much or as little advice as needed! With capacity for up to 160 seated day guests & 250 evening guests, you have the option to hold the huge wedding you have always dreamed of or alternatively, keep things intimate for just close family & friends. There are also a large variety of accommodation options 1 mile down the road in Woodhall Spa to suit all of your guests. Exclusively yours, take advantage of setting up the day before the wedding so that you can enjoy the day itself to the fullest and relax the night before, knowing everything is just as you had imagined & more!

Our Guests are still talking about the day!
Millie, Jo and all the staff could not have been kinder or more helpful if they tried - we had the wedding day of dreams, and we couldn't have asked for more. From initial meetings, to all of the communication leading up to the wedding day, and of course on the day itself, we were kept so well informed and any questions (of which there were many!!) were answered so quickly. Our guests are still talking about the day and about how beautiful Abbey Farm is. Thank you for everything!

More than we could have dreamed of!
As soon as we viewed Abbey Farm, we both knew this was our dream venue! And from the day we booked, all they way through to days AFTER our wedding, Millie and Jo went above and beyond. Providing us with fantastic ideas, impeccable support and more guidance than we could have ever dreamed of. Abbey Farm is a breath taking venue, with the perfect rustic country feel. A very hands on team and perfect location. We cannot thank them enough!

The most stress free wedding!
The whole team at Abbey Farm are just incredible, so warm, friendly and accommodating, always on hand to answer any questions we had but also gave us the best advice going. The wedding day itself ran so smoothly with neither of us having to worry or stress about a single thing, we enjoyed our day to the fullest because of the hard work of both Jo and Millie. The venue itself is stunning, with so many spaces to use and utilise. Everyone commented on how incredible and beautiful the venue is, a hidden gem!

Our special day
Millie & Jo were amazing from start to finish. They thought of everything, were in constant contact and answer all our questions which there was a lot of! Couldn’t recommend them enough for your special day. They made it the best it could possibly be and we are so grateful to them for that!

The most gorgeous wedding venue
I don't even know where to begin with this review. From the second we walked in to the venue on our first viewing I felt so at ease and Millie and Jo couldn't have done anything more for us. Throughout the planning phase all of my questions were answered promptly and they both made my vision come to life. Unfortunately on the day the great British weather meant we couldn't get married outside as planned, however the granary barn is just the most beautiful room, and millie and Jo made my decorations work within the room. Throughout the day All of the staff were so professional and helpful they truly made our day the most special day Taking down the venue the day after the wedding was a breeze, the only sad thing about it is that I no longer get to go and visit the venue. From the bottom of our heart thankyou for making our dream come true, we had the most magical day.

Best day ever!!
Don’t even know where to begin…we fell in love with Abbey farm as soon as we stepped foot in the yard, the whole place is kept so immaculate! Jo & Millie are so warm and welcoming, they are fantastic from start to finish, no ask is to big or small they are with you every step of the way. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and everything that we’d ever dreamed it would be and a big part of this was down to everyone at Abbey farm working so hard behind the scenes making sure everything ran smoothly, we can’t thank them enough, we would recommend Abbey farm in a heartbeat to any couple looking for a wedding venue!

You really are the 'A-Team'
You did us proud! You have a stunning wedding venue and show meticulous attention to personal wishes. Your presence, and enthusiasm were constant throughout the day. You really made the day extra special and more than met all our expectations. It has been an absolute reassuring pleasure from the very beginning to have planned this wedding with you; always up-beat and positive, nothing was too much trouble. It really turned out to be a perfect, memorable day; guests were full of superlatives.

The most perfect day
The venue and grounds here speak for themselves, they're simply stunning. But more than this, the team work so hard to make everything perfect, without being overbearing so you can completely relax and enjoy the day. We couldn't have wished for anything more

Nothing short of Incredible!
Millie is genuinely the one of the most incredible people we met! From first contact, all the way to the actual day she had everything under control! She was calm, light­hearted, and full of ideas to help us organise our special day! On the day of the wedding, the rest of the Abbey Farm staff were also nothing short of incredible! I'd recommend Millie and her team to other couples in a heartbeat!
