Perfection in every way
We got married at Farbridge on 25-5-24 and the whole day was just perfect from start to finish. We fell in love with the venue from the moment Julie showed us around. The two years leading up to the wedding, we had Eleanor looking after us who just took care of any little worry we had, gave us honest advice and opinions and took into account our budget and wishes. We never felt any pressure from her. I organised all the decor myself and Eleanor smashed it when setting it up on the morning, every detail was thought about. Throughout the day they ensured the day ran smoothly and we genuinely didn’t have to worry about anything, I can’t stress enough how amazing the team are. The food was unreal and we received many compliments about it being the best wedding meal they’d ever eaten! Every details was just perfect and we owe the hugest thanks to the whole Farbridge team. Having rooms onsite was amazing too. I could shout all day long about Farbridge but to sum it up the venue is just stunning and the staff exceptional! Thank you will never be enough for the best day ever! Highly recommend!

Such friendly and helpful staff
We had the best day getting married at Farbridge and right from viewing the venue to the day Ells and the team were so helpful, friendly and always going the extra mile. They are always on hand for any and all of your questions. They run the day so smoothly, we didn't have to think of anything but they made us aware of anything going on and checked in. They took all the stress away with ensuring our decorations were done and our families were happy. Couldn't have wished for a better day and the coordination from Ells made it all so stress free.

A Perfect Wedding
We were looking for a venue in the countryside, with some accommodation, the option of providing our own drinks, excellent catering, a gorgeous bridal suite and that 'feeling'. Farbridge has it all. It was always the only place for us. Eleanor handled our account beautifully, helping you to think about all the questions you need to answer. As much as possible, whatever you need will be provided for. Very professional. The space and service is outstanding.

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

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!
