Our Wedding Day

There are not enough words to say how amazing Villa Farm is, but we will do our best. From the first moment we walked into this venue, we knew how special it is and instantly decided this is where we wanted to get married. We cannot thank Nicole, Corrina, Ola and everyone else at Villa Farm enough for helping us have the most amazing wedding day. Our first contact with Villa Farm when we made an enquiry, right up until the day itself, was absolutely fantastic. They responded so quickly to any questions and made the whole process feel worry-free. We got to visit the venue several times before the big day which was a nice build up as well. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and has everything you could need on site. So many of our guests couldn’t stop talking about what a perfect venue it is. The holiday cottages with a hot tub is a great touch to make your day feel even more special. Our day was absolutely perfect and I have no doubt it was due to the hard work of every one at Villa Farm. We are both so grateful to have found a venue that really cared about what we wanted and helped create our dream day. We are so sad for our day to be over but Villa Farm will always hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you!!

Perfect in everyway.

This venue is amazing. We looked at lots of different venues before my husband found this one. I have to say most venues are very expensive for what you get but York barn is very well priced. You get so much from the staff and they make sure you do not have the stress of anything. We decided on our florets, catering, casino, band etc and told York barn there details and they organised when they need to arrive and they sorted out our time line to make it work for us. Each wedding is catered for each individual couple. Nothing is to much trouble and they will make sure you can have everything you have always dreamed of. We had the venue from Friday to Sunday and we had lots of family and friends staying in the cottage they have on site for you to use. They have enough cottages to sleep 100+ people so no matter how small or large your wedding is they can accommodate you with not trouble. We would advise anyone to go and look at this venue. Not just for the venue but for the staff who are just a delight.

Best Team EVER! Can’t thank them enough

I can’t put into words how much I loved working with Nicole, Ola and Corrina when planning my wedding at York Barn. They made the whole process such a pleasure, so easy and stress free. Every supplier and every guest commented on how lovely and professional all the staff were. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful; and having access Friday - Sunday made it such a smooth and fun weekend to set up and pack away. We stayed at Pheasant Rise which was absolutely wonderful, and great to get ready with the bridesmaids in the morning of the wedding. The team’s attention to detail never went unnoticed. I’m going to miss them all so much! Thank you for making our day the most perfect and special day I could’ve ever imagined.

Best day of our lives!

Where to start. Villa Farm was the first venue we visited and straight away we knew it was the one!! We had 5 months to turn our dream day in to reality and it turned out better than we could have ever imagined. Nicole, Ola and Corrina were a great help in the run up to the day organising all the behind the scenes bits. But even the day before they got stuck in and helped us out setting up! The venue is truly beautiful, we got so many compliments regarding the staff on the day!! We’re sad for our day to be over but we will be definitely booking to stay over sometime soon!!

The team at York Barn couldn’t do enough for us! The run up to the wedding was smooth, with regular contact, planning and care. Special shout out to Nicole for waiting until the last minute to allow us the outdoor wedding we had dreamed of and for making a fantastic reel of our day. All of our guests loved the venue and family/friends loved staying on site in the gorgeous cottages. The team were honestly amazing and matched our sense of humour, easing any last minute nerves. Ola and the bar staff were fab too and so patient when asking for over 40 Baby Guinnesses to toast with. We had the most magical day and it wouldn’t have been possible without the team at York Barn. Thank from the bottom of our hearts, The Parkers xxx

Rose and Rob's Wedding

Just a note to thank Corrina and Nicole for making Rose and Rob’s Wedding Day on August 16th so special for all of us. I know you are professionals at this, but your personal touch and helpful advice was so appreciated by Kathy, myself, our family and friends. We liked the venue from our first visit and the advantage of the excellent accommodation on site was another major plus factor. We, like many of your satisfied clients, would recommend York Barn to anyone.
