Firstly, Mark and Lynne are absolutely lovely - nothing was too much trouble and they were so easy to work with, letting us really create our dream day! I'm already thinking of other parties I could have so I could go back.... Then the venue itself - it's beautiful. The views across the farm are incredible, and received so many compliments from our guests. As you head up the tree-lined drive and the stunning farm house and our tipis came into view, it felt so special - it definitely has the 'wow factor'! We've had a few sneak peeks of our photos come back already and the setting of them is beautiful.Matt and I had our wedding reception at Dunton Lodge Farm this weekend, and couldn't recommend the venue more.
