- LLauren & Dan12/10/2024Wedding Venue of our Dreams!Wedding Venue of our Dreams!Heron’s Farm is AMAZING! The perfect venue! From the moment we walked in on our first viewing we were treated like family! They couldn’t have done more to help! The venue is a stunning farm, with a beautiful barn, courtyard area, walled garden and pavilion! You can choose any place to hold your ceremony, ourselves choosing the walled garden for our ceremony which was stunning. The venue (Nicky and Maggie especially) literally said to us ‘tell us what you want and we shall make it happen’ and that was basically it! Other venues we looked at were very stuck on their packages and even refused to swap a Prosecco for a kir royal (that we offered to pay more for) as ‘that’s not in our package’! Nicky went above and beyond with organising all the elements of our day, and always answered all question quickly and always helped keep costs down. Maggie who mainly runs all the accommodation was also amazing! She was very attentive to any questions and needs of guests, plus makes a mean full English breakfast the next morning! All rooms were throughly cleaned, inspected, with tea and coffee stations in each! The food was just delicious, the meat was beautifully cooked, great portion sizes, hot when served and not one person had anything bad to say!! The drinks were top quality, including the wines on the table, the toasts and welcome drinks. Actually tasted alcoholic unlike some watered down drinks. The venue also has a very well stocked bar for guests to use throughout the evening! Nicky helped our day run really smoothly, and greeted my new husband and I straight after the ceremony with a drink to calm our nerves. So attentive to anything we needed and checking in on us to ensure we were happy and we have everything we needed. Everyone working at the venue made us feel like family, and absolutely no bother, anything we asked for was sorted, put into action and done before we could even say thank you! Even small stuff like when the barn was flipped for the evening, Nicky and team went to great lengths to decorate and re-disperse to make the venue look stunning. We didn’t ask for this, but they care about your wedding and want the best for you! Please just book to go and visit this venue, because as soon as you do you will fall in love with it like we did! Already been invited back for a picnic and drink with the team which we shall be doing soon! Thank you Nicky and Maggie, you made our wedding day the most special day!
