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.

Out of this world!
We booked our wedding at Runa Farm last May and from the first viewing we were blown away with the venue and the apartment group. From the planning stages to checking out after the wedding, everything was seamless and perfect. We used the farm house the night before which was well equipped and such a gorgeous place to get ready. It’s such a relaxing environment to calm any nerves! The day its self was managed by Emma, who had initially shown us around, and she went above and beyond to make sure it was perfect. She took away any stresses or worries I had straight away. Ian was our master of ceremonies and he was great, nothing was too much to ask and he was great with our boys. The serving and waiting staff were fab but special mention to Lewis who was there from the night before until we checked out the day after, he was very helpful and friendly, an asset to the venue. The only negative I have is that the day is over and we can’t do it again! I would recommend Runa to anyone looking for a well run, organised, stress free wedding in an outstanding location and beautiful venue!

Perfect wedding start to finish
I’m not sure I have enough words to describe just how utterly perfect our day was! Every single staff member was insanely attentive and clearly wanted to make sure our big day was perfect. From the first step into Runa Farm we were looked after. We were fairly certain from the images online that it was the wedding venue for us but seeing it in person was just another level! It’s the perfect mix of rustic and elegant and the ceremony room is just dreamy! Our wedding coordinator Jenna was incredible throughout the whole process and I don’t think she could have made us both feel any more confident about everything if she’d tried. Her communication was amazing and everyone went above and beyond accommodating any requests that we had. We could tell that we’d chose the right venue and company. Each and every part of our day ran perfectly and that was all down to the staff. All of the waiters/waitresses and bar staff were so lovely and the bar staff especially made us feel super special throughout the day. The food was also incredible! Emma who was at reception on arrival started off the few days perfectly and set the tone making us feel really excited. Our meal on the evening before with our family and friends was also lovely in the Smithy. Becca our wedding manager made us feel at ease from the get go during our meeting the night before. She didn’t miss a single detail and was happy to make any tiny changes that we needed. On the day she was so relaxed which wore off on me, my husband and the rest of the bridal party. Even though she was really laid back, I could tell she was also amazing at her job and was going to make sure all the details were spot on. A special mention has to go to Ian the MOC on our day. Ian was actually at our food tasting evening back in December, so it was lovely to see his face again. His aura just makes you feel instantly at ease and you can tell he truly loves what he does. Myself and my husband could rave about him all day long, he looked after us like we were royalty. My Mum also had so many good things to say about Ian. He really made her feel comfortable and helped her whenever needed. Ian is the perfect MOC and he is absolutely amazing in this role. From start to finish our day was just a dream and we can’t thank everyone enough!

Simply the best wedding and venue!
We only booked the wedding in April 2023 and married on 22 June 2023 so we had a lot to do in a short period of time! Jenna was our wedding coordinator and Rebecca was our wedding manager on the actual day. I have to say Jenna was absolutely amazing, she was so approachable, happy to answer any questions we had (big or small) and allowed us to make some last minute changes with no trouble at all which we were very grateful for. The flexibility in your packages made us able to make amendments to the day to suit our style and likes. The venue is just incredible, we had no hesitation after our initial viewing with Rob that this was the perfect location for us. We had lunch in the Smithy after the viewing and tasting the delicious food this further cemented our decision. We arrived the day before our wedding and met with Becca, she was very organised and made us feel at ease. We were able to book one of the family rooms with the hot tub which just made the stay extra special (and something our kids absolutely loved!). The day of the wedding we had breakfast in the smithy, which was incredible. All the staff were friendly, considerate and knowledgeable. Receiving complimentary drinks for myself and the wedding party was a lovely extra and Becca was on hand for any questions or queries we had on the day. There were a few little hiccups on the day however Becca was quick to rectify the issues and didn't take away from us having the most special day.
