The best day of our lives
We had the most amazing day celebrating our marriage at Runa Farm. Everything went perfectly and all of the staff involved were great. From Paige our planner, our amazing MOC to all of the bar staff, we were looked after all day and night and we would both love to do it all over again. Could not recommend a better venue to celebrate such a special occasion!

Exceptional day
Wow where do we begin? Runa Farm was the only venue that we looked at and straight away we knew it was the one. Ian showed us around and answered all our questions. It was so lovely because Ian ended up being our Master of Ceremony on our wedding day, which felt like a full circle. He remembered us from our venue tour, which was a nice touch. The whole team were fabulous and did everything with a smile on their face and had the best positive energy. We literally didn’t have to think about anything. Emma, Amy and Ian sorted our entire day with a smile on their face and amazing banter. We literally felt like we had known the team for years, they just made us feel so comfortable and at ease in their presence. They are all exceptional at their jobs and you don’t need to worry about anything and just go with the flow, trust the process and have an exceptional day! Nothing was any trouble if we needed to change things or add things and it just added such a special touch to the wedding, could not have asked for a better team. The food was amazing and they really accommodated for everyone, even the fussy ones….! We had lots of comments from our guests saying what a beautiful venue it was and how accommodating all the staff were. The venue is stunning but it’s also the people that make it extra special. We stayed the night before and were greeted from the beginning with smiles and positive energies from all the staff we met. We relaxed in the outdoor hot tub and got to see an owl fly past which was another magical part of our wedding lead up. The next day we were packing up our things but both Emma and Ian came across chatting with us. It felt so lovely that just because our day was over, the staff still had time for us and wanted to check if there was anything at all that we needed. The wedding day itself was exceptional and such a magical day. Could not fault any part of it. We really felt looked after and felt the love from the entire team! Can’t wait to go back on another occasion.

The best day of our lives
We could not fault the staff at Runa Farm, they provided excellent service both in the lead up to the wedding and on the big day itself. Nothing was too much hassle and all of our guests commented on how fabulous the venue was!

Everything was perfect!
We can't praise the team at Runa highly enough. From managing every tiny detail with Beth Courtier (and her being very patient dealing with our amends) to the day itself, everything went off without a hitch. On the day we didn't have to think about a single detail. We sat down with the unbelievably amazing Emma and hashed out a plan of action the night before our wedding and she was not only meticulous but thoughtful, funny, and took command of all of our suppliers. I've never met anyone so unbelievably good at their job. If you get married at Runa, you have to ask for Emma. However you'll also want Ethan. Ethan was a phenomenal master of ceremonies. He looked after us on the day, calmed our nerves and made sure we were where we needed to be. He befriended all of our guests and made everyone feel incredibly welcome. He listened to our rubbish jokes and joined in at every step. Emma and Ethan were a powerhouse of a team backed by a wonderful support team. Every single member of staff went out of their way to make us feel special. They made our day perfect and I'll absolutely be telling everyone that they need to get married at Runa. What an amazing team and a beautiful venue!

The absolute perfect day
We had the most perfect wedding at Runa Farm, we visited the venue when it was still undergoing renovation and due to open in a few weeks, and we saw the potential! We booked there and then. And we watched it transform into the beautiful venue we had only last week. Thank you Runa Farm for making our moment so special! It’s been a wonderful journey x

Our amazing day!
We had our wedding at runa farm recently and it was amazing! The venue was beautiful, the staff were so friendly and hard working but made our day flow so easily! Throughout it all we had Paige as our wedding co-ordinator who was there for us from the beginning she was helpful, friendly and made our planning so easy. Overall I can’t say a single bad thing about this experience, venue and staff, it was perfect and would highly recommend!

What an incredible day
Wow, Runa Farm. Runa Farm captured our hearts the second we laid eyes on it. The atmosphere the ceremony room makes on its own, even without guests, was enough to sell it to us. We had an incredible autumnal wedding. Ian and Emma were absolutely stunning. So helpful from start to finish. So compassionate and friendly. We will never forget them and the important part they played in our day. We also want to shout out Emma on reception- your kindness and patience knew no bounds. You are a real ray of sunshine, thank you so so much. To the bar staff, venue staff, waiting staff- thank you so much for the effort you put into making our day seamless. You kept us and all of our guests happy all day. You all have no idea how much your hard work means to the brides and grooms you support. Jenna, our wedding co ordinator, you have been a delight! It was a pleasure to journey toward our weddings together! To think you were planning many brides weddings, as well as your own! You are amazing. Thank you for always being contactable and approachable. The accommodation and food tied everything together. We wish we could repeat our magical day everyday ❤️

Our beautiful, magical, perfect wedding.
Wow, what a team, what a venue. We booked our wedding a year in advance after falling in love with this incredible, jaw dropping venue. From initial stages of planning to the week before the wedding, the entire team were so incredibly supportive. My Husband and I never had to worry about a thing and our wedding day was simply perfect; we wouldn’t have changed a thing. The supporting team on our day were absolutely faultless, and everyone understood our vision and brought this to life incredibly. We did all the decorations and florals ourselves, but the team knew through various meetings what our vision for the space was and executed this to perfection. We are in absolute awe of Runa Farm and it will forever hold the most important place in our heart. What an incredibly magical place where dreams come true🤍

Couldn’t have asked for a better day
From the moment we booked runa farm we were blown away by Jenna our wedding coordinator who kept in constant contact and answered all my questions along the way never making me feel silly for asking anything odd like for a pic of the basic table setting so I could visualise the table decor better. Skip to the weeks leading up when I asked the smithy for a special order something not on the pub menu when Joshua helped us put this together for food in the farmhouse the night before. Pizzas chips and garlic bread for 12 people there was so much food it was delicious and we had loads left over - the servers were fab and respectful as we had only just starting taking our stuff inside. The farmhouse is just fab sleeping 12 people easily and 2 dogs - it was such a special night having all my favourite people in one place while my husband and his best man had rooms in the hotel - also stunning by the way. Around 8pm I realised I hadn’t heard from my photographers in a few days so messaged again only to find out nothing was going though number was disconnected. I started to share my concerns with my family and others started looking seemed like it was all a big scam these women do. My brother in law went to reception (and I’m only sorry I didn’t get her name) she started to see if she could do anything to help - within half an hour one of the staff a budding photographer Tom came to our rescue on his day off between studio time came and took some pics. He was showing us along the way some of the shots he had gotten and honestly couldn’t have asked for more we are so thankful to him for saving the day. I’d also like to shout out to our master of ceremonies Ian - what a man! So friendly and lovely we were laughing with him and it just added to our day how special Runa farm really is. There were a few ladies I unfortunately did not get their names one was serving short hair with red in, one did our final walk round (possibly her name was eve or Ava) and the lady that was with Ian coordinating our day - she was so kind to my 6 year old nephew who struggled at times with his emotions and had to sit down in the other room during speeches as it was too much she took care of him. The whole place is just magical if you love that boho chic style like us and the food is fantastic - everyone commented it was the best wedding food they had ever had.
