The most beautiful venue and incredible staff

Farbridge was the very first wedding venue we visited when we began our search back in January 2022, and from the moment we arrived and stepped inside the Lavant Barn we knew it was the place we wanted to get married. The setting is absolutely stunning. We both love the countryside and being outdoors and we instantly fell in love with Farbridge, which is set against the backdrop of the South Downs, surrounded by fields, country lanes, and even a river. The interior is equally as beautiful. We particularly liked that Farbridge has a light, airy, modern feel. Although we loved the rural setting, we also wanted our wedding day to feel quite elegant, and the beautiful barns really deliver on that. Not only is it a beautiful location, but the staff at Farbridge are incredible. Every single person that we’ve come into contact with at Farbridge over the last couple of years has been so friendly, kind, and professional. Imogen showed us around at our first visit, answered all of our questions, and really helped us to envision our wedding day. Julie, Ells, and Ellie made us feel at home when we came back for visits with family, attended the wedding fayre, and the food tasing event. And Grace, our brilliant wedding account manager, looked after us leading up to our wedding day and then oversaw everything to perfection. Nothing was too much trouble for her, and she always replied promptly to emails and enquiries. Grace ensured that our wedding day ran smoothly and that all of our personal touches and decorations were set up for us – and looked even better than when we’d done it! She even told us where to cut the cake, and gave us advice on aspects of our wedding planning. I didn’t once look at the time or worry about anything on our wedding day as we had full trust in Grace and the team. Everything was executed with military precision, down to the exquisite menu produced and delivered by the inhouse catering team, Cuckoo. Our guests have been raving about the menu ever since our wedding day, and we’ve heard multiple times that it’s the best food they’ve been served at a wedding. Farbridge is a popular wedding venue – and for good reason! – but we never once felt as though our wedding was simply one of many. The care and attention we were shown was exemplary and we want to say a heartfelt thank you to Grace and the rest of the team for everything they did for us. We cannot recommend this special venue enough.

Perfection in every way

We got married at Farbridge on 25-5-24 and the whole day was just perfect from start to finish. We fell in love with the venue from the moment Julie showed us around. The two years leading up to the wedding, we had Eleanor looking after us who just took care of any little worry we had, gave us honest advice and opinions and took into account our budget and wishes. We never felt any pressure from her. I organised all the decor myself and Eleanor smashed it when setting it up on the morning, every detail was thought about. Throughout the day they ensured the day ran smoothly and we genuinely didn’t have to worry about anything, I can’t stress enough how amazing the team are. The food was unreal and we received many compliments about it being the best wedding meal they’d ever eaten! Every details was just perfect and we owe the hugest thanks to the whole Farbridge team. Having rooms onsite was amazing too. I could shout all day long about Farbridge but to sum it up the venue is just stunning and the staff exceptional! Thank you will never be enough for the best day ever! Highly recommend!

A Perfect Wedding

We were looking for a venue in the countryside, with some accommodation, the option of providing our own drinks, excellent catering, a gorgeous bridal suite and that 'feeling'. Farbridge has it all. It was always the only place for us. Eleanor handled our account beautifully, helping you to think about all the questions you need to answer. As much as possible, whatever you need will be provided for. Very professional. The space and service is outstanding.

Such friendly and helpful staff

We had the best day getting married at Farbridge and right from viewing the venue to the day Ells and the team were so helpful, friendly and always going the extra mile. They are always on hand for any and all of your questions. They run the day so smoothly, we didn't have to think of anything but they made us aware of anything going on and checked in. They took all the stress away with ensuring our decorations were done and our families were happy. Couldn't have wished for a better day and the coordination from Ells made it all so stress free.

Magical Wedding Day

We had the most incredible day and the Farbridge team really made our dream day come to life. The venue is stunning so we didnt need to dress it too much but we were really able to make it our own. Having an exclusive venue made the day feel so special and the staff all went the extra mile to make sure we had everything the way we wanted. The day ran so smoothly and having the different barns meant we didnt have to wait for spaces to be turned around and each moment of the day had its own special place. The outside space was perfect for photos and drinks reception and the bridal suite was perfect to get ready in and relax in at the end of the day. In particular the food was exceptional and Simon and the team went above and beyond with our bespoke menu. Our guests have constantly told us they thought our day was beautiful and the food was a particular talking point. It not only tasted incredible but the team matched our woodland theme and each dish was a work of art. Honestly the best venue and our day was more than we ever dreamed!

The best of our life!! Everything was perfect from start to finish and was everything we had ever dreamed off. Farbridge was the only venue we ever went to see and we fell in love with it as soon as we saw it. We could picture our perfect day there and it was everything we ever wanted, Eleanor and the team were amazing from the day we visited even until after the wedding making sure we knew exactly everything, giving us all options and making sure we knew every little detail. Myself and Liam couldn’t thank everyone at Farbridge enough for giving us the most perfect day and all their hard work that went into the day. It really was a fairy tail wedding! Thank you again, Casey & Liam x

Exceeded our expectations in every way

Farbridge, served as our reception wedding venue and Ellie our wedding coordinator, exceeded our expectations in every way possible. From the moment we booked the venue, Grace and Ellie were there every step of the way, offering guidance, support, and expertise to ensure our special day was perfect. The venue itself was stunning, with breathtaking views and impeccable facilities. Ellie worked closely with us to bring our vision to life, offering valuable recommendations for vendors, layout, and decor, she was incredibly organised and detail-oriented, ensuring that every aspect of the event was carefully planned and executed flawlessly. On the day of the wedding, everything ran smoothly, handling any last-minute issues with professionalism and grace. The catering staff were so attentive to our needs and those of our guests, ensuring that everyone felt comfortable and taken care of throughout the event. We genuinely had so many comments from our guests about how the day seemed to flow seamlessly. We also couldn’t not mention the most amazing chef Simon, who worked with us to create a bespoke choice menu for our 140 guests! We were so impressed by the quality of the food and once again exceeded ours and our guests expectations! Our wedding day was truly magical and unforgettable. We couldn't have asked for a better team to help bring our dream day to life, and we are forever grateful for their hard work and dedication.
