The perfect place for us

Dan's Meadow was the perfect place for us to have our wedding. We had our ceremony and celebration at the venue and it couldn't have been more "us". Compared to other venues we looked at this one was much more reasonable and having sole access to the site for the whole weekend meant we could really make the most of our wedding. Andrew and his family went above and beyond to make our day as special as possible, booking the tipi, DJ, food vendors and bar for us which really reduced the stress of organising the day. In the lead up to the wedding Andrew was available to call any time to answer questions and offer advice. He even returned in the evening of our wedding day and surprised us with a photo in a frame which he had taken just after the ceremony. Having our ceremony outside by the willow tree and in front of the Victorian Gazebo was just lovely. Some of our guests booked the two shepherds huts which are beautiful and very well supplied and others camped with us. Those who wanted to go home or stay in a hotel in Woodbridge could do so easily thanks to the excellent location and ample onsite parking. The day was relaxed and felt very private and in the evening we sat around the campfire and toasted marshmallows which was the perfect end to the day. Thank you Andrew, Jo, Kylie, family and team for making our day so special. We will treasure it always. Love from, Lizzy & Matt xxx

Best Day of our Lives

Our wedding day at Dan’s Meadow was everything we imagined it to be and more. The setting was relaxed and beautiful. We were so lucky with the weather meaning we could get married down by the river which felt so special. Andrew was so accommodating and helpful, especially the day before the wedding when we were setting everything up. He made sure it all ran smoothly before, during and after. Many of our guests commented on what a stunning location it was. We had the best day of our lives! Sam and Graeme

A Magical Day

Dan's Meadow was the perfect setting for our Wedding Reception; Andrew and team were amazingly helpful and supportive in the planning and preparation stages, helping us to make it everything we wanted it to be. Andrew was there throughout the set-up, on the day and for the clear up the following day, on hand to help and support but always unobtrusive. The tipis looked incredible and the hay bales and firepits added the extra 'wow'! Everyone said what a beautiful setting it was and the kids had a great time being free to play without being in anyone's way. We couldn't have asked for more, thanks to the whole team involved for making our day magical. Corrine and Dave

WebFest

Massive thank you to Andrew and the team at Dan’s Meadow for making our #WedFest the most amazing special day! Our vision was to have a festival wedding: one of children running up and down the meadow playing games, friends sitting on picnic blankets and drinking cocktails on the outdoor terrace, all sharing in big communal food... and the meadow has all the space we needed (and more!) to do all that. So many of our married friends told us how sad they were that their own special day had gone so quickly and how little time they spent together as a couple whilst trying to talk to guests in amongst the official proceedings. It sounded rubbish (!) so we chose to do something quite informal and relaxed which let us form memories of the day together! The meadow was the perfect setting. And Andrew was just brilliant - we had to call up with all sorts of queries over the preceding months and nothing was ever too much trouble. As the first licensed wedding on the site, he even brought us a framed photo the next day as we sat in the local pub having a family lunch - it’s a gift we’ll really treasure! Lots of our guests decided to camp - either to save money or as a treat for the kids. The facilities were great, and we’re told that lots of folk kept the party going at the end of the field until the early hours! These are pictures from friends - we’ll post some official ones when we get them from the photographer in a few weeks :) thanks again, much love, Daisy & Rob xx

Festival of Love

The first time we looked at Dans meadow for our August wedding reception venue we knew it was perfect. The location, space and facilities were just what we wanted. Nothing was too much trouble and the whole team were astounding. We hired the whole meadow for the weekend, and we had family and friends from all over the Country, and Spain, camping or staying locally. We are so grateful for Andrew and the team, and we won’t ever forget our phenomenal ‘festival of love’. We wouldn’t hesitate but recommend Dans meadow. Thank you all! Charlie and Carl

Help and Support

Thanks to Andi and all the team at Dan’s Meadow for all the help and support with our wedding this September. Dan’s Meadow was just the perfect setting for our dream of an outside ceremony. We held the blessing under the canopy of a tree by the stream. The Tipi’s looked fab for the reception and the outside space allowed several games to be set up. All the guest commented on how relaxed the day was and what a fantastic setting we had found in Dan’s Meadow! Thanks again for everything, we will definitely be recommending this venue.
