The best of our life!! Everything was perfect from start to finish and was everything we had ever dreamed off. Farbridge was the only venue we ever went to see and we fell in love with it as soon as we saw it. We could picture our perfect day there and it was everything we ever wanted, Eleanor and the team were amazing from the day we visited even until after the wedding making sure we knew exactly everything, giving us all options and making sure we knew every little detail. Myself and Liam couldn’t thank everyone at Farbridge enough for giving us the most perfect day and all their hard work that went into the day. It really was a fairy tail wedding! Thank you again, Casey & Liam x

Perfect!!!
We cannot recommend Farbridge highly enough. From viewing the venue to our wedding day and everything in between, they have been truly amazing. We had the most incredible day and everyone we have spoken to thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The food was delicious and the venue stunning, it was absolutely perfect. We cannot thank you enough for helping us make these special memories with our family and friends.

So so incredible. Could not reccomend enough!
From the very first viewing, to every one since. The taster nights and finally the big day, just fantastic. Truly incredible. We had the pleasure of working with Imogen. What an asset she is at Farbridge! I was an extremely anxious bride who unfortunately is always sick when I’m anxious. But Imogen went above and beyond to make me comfortable, feel safe and put extra measures in place to take the pressure off of me. We created a plan A, B, C & D for if any part of it got too much. But I didn’t need to, I smashed it and Imogen was very proud! Every idea we created in our head was executed beautifully. The service 10/10, venue 10/10 staff 10/10 food 10/10. Now we wish we could do it all over again! Thank you again Farbridge!

The team and venue are the best of the best!
Our wedding day was perfect and so much of that is down to Farbridge. Our wedding fell on the hottest September day on record (!!) but the entire team were all so brilliant at catering for everyone’s needs and helping things run so smoothly. The team go above and beyond; Eleanor was brilliant at keeping us on track and Julie saved the day by making an extra buttonhole when one was missing! Simon and the entire catering team are exceptional. We had sooo many compliments on the food and everyone was very impressed with the quality and portion sizes! We both had the perfect day and feel so glad we booked Farbridge - we can’t recommend them highly enough. Wish we could come back every year!!! X

The most perfect day!
My husband(!) and I got married here in September and had the most perfect day. It's not surprising this beautiful venue, and the amazing team behind it, have won awards. It really is everything you hope for in a wedding venue, and more! Ells, was so friendly and professional - we couldn't have wished for a better person to help with the planning in the lead up to our special day. We always looked forward to our meetings with her and communication was brilliant right from the start.

The best day of our lives
Ever since myself and Martin got engaged there was never any doubt in my mind that the wedding had to be at Farbridge. The beautiful venue and scenery is really what pulled us in. Once we started our wedding journey with Imogen, our wedding planner who is utterly exceptional, her attention to detail was impeccable, nothing was too much trouble leading up to the day. We felt so comfortable being looked after by her, but when the day came around she completely and utterly blew us off our feet and exceeded our expectations. She completely and utterly made our day magical, stress free, she even went above and beyond and was holding our 3 month old. If we were to get married again I would choose Farbridge and Imogen three times over. I still regularly think about the day, everything was pure perfection, the food was absolutely delicious, the rooms were amazing and the bridal suite was the perfect location for getting ready. On the day my husband and I were so busy we didn’t get to eat our desserts. Imogen kept our desserts and placed them in our bridal suite as a late night treat. This was so thoughtful and a really lovely touch. We cannot thank the venue, the kitchen and bar team and Imogen enough for making our day so magical. Thank you
