Personal Message from the Manager

Name of Wedding Contact: Bee and Ralph James
We are a family run business, Ralph and I have been married for 27 years and have bought 3 children up here! Ashley Wood Farm is a remarkable place set in 10,000 acres on the Fonthill Estate, utterly peaceful and beautiful with amazing views. We love welcoming couples and their families here and can be on hand to help you, or completely out of your way. We see you as a constant flow of love streaming in and out of the farm and also believe this gives the space a very special atmosphere.

The most perfect day at the most perfect venue!

Bee and Ralph were just absolutely amazing and their stunning venue was the most perfect, magical setting for our wedding. We had the most perfect day and we loved every single minute. There really is something special about Ashley Wood and we couldn’t have had our wedding at a more spectacular place! Thank you Bee and Ralph for your incredible hospitality, you guys are just amazing!

A picture perfect spot for a Wiltshire wedding

We were married here in early July 24. The setting, the view and the greenery are all just fabulous. The It's a beautiful barn, with a great range of facilities on site, so we never felt in need of anything further. There's also a cottage on site which was a perfect place to base ourselves. Bee and Ralph were very warm, friendly and generally 'hands-off', allowing us the freedom to do what we wanted, but were most certainly 'hands on' when things needed sorting (we had a downpour immediately before our event and Ralph was busy making sure all the paths were dry for us!). So many of our guests commented on what a beautiful place it was. We feel incredibly lucky to have found it!

I can’t quite believe this venue is in the UK!

With rolling landscape and an array of spaces to host celebrations, it is really a truly a wonderful venue. Not to mention it’s roster of incredible photo opportunities!

Best wedding venue ever

Ashley Wood Farm is the perfect wedding venue - stunning setting, beautiful decor and great accommodation on site for the bride and groom. Bee and Ralph could not have been more helpful - and their recommended suppliers such as Indulge Catering - are thoughtful and exceptional. Book your wedding here!

We just wanted to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU

We just wanted to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU for everything you did to make our wedding so special. All our wedding guests told us that Ashley Wood Farm is the most beautiful venue and we loved staying in the lodge for the weekend. It was just magical. You've both been fantastic throughout the entire process and we can't thank you enough for your quick replies to our many, many ridiculous questions. Thanks so much Lia and Will

How special Ashley Wood will always be to us!

We’re just back from a few days away following our amazing wedding on Saturday last week and just wanted to thank you both again for allowing us to use Ashley wood and the lodge to hold our wedding! I don’t think the review on Bridebook and the comments in the visitors book really do justice to how grateful we are and how special Ashley wood will always be to us!
