- SSarah Bullock02/08/2022Best Day EverBest Day EverOur wedding day was the best day of our lives thanks to Mapperley Farm. We first viewed the venue 2 years ago when we got engaged and knew it was where we wanted to have our special day. Since then Rosie and Sam were just incredible. The whole lead up to the wedding was stress free and organised. Rosie and Sam put you at ease straight away and make sure you feel confident with each and every aspect of your day. They offer recommendations and help you to create all of your ideas and visions. We were told that planning weddings can be very stressful but we feel so fortunate to say that we found the experience so enjoyable and we honestly believe a big part of that is because Rosie takes control closer to the wedding day itself, contacting all suppliers for you and making sure everything is in place. It really is a weight off your mind. On the wedding day everything ran so smoothly. The staff are friendly and approachable and all of this meant that John and I could completely relax, enjoy and have a great time. All guests were commenting on how beautiful the venue is and how they hadnât experienced a wedding like it before. Rosie and Sam should feel so proud of everything they have achieved. They are both incredible people helping to create incredible memories for others. They are passionate, driven and a joy to work with. We are over the moon we chose Mapperley Farm and it will forever have a very special place in our heart â€ïž Thank you for everything. Sarah and John.

- KKerry Watson25/07/2022AmazingAmazingHi Rosie and Sam I know that we thanked you both personally yesterday, but I just wanted to write to you to let you know that we have been inundated with lovely messages about how brilliant the whole weekend was - from the camping on Friday right through to Saturday night! People were just amazed about how magical it was at Mapperley Farm, and it is a day they, and we, will never forget. The photos are starting to come through from guests (not the official ones yet), so I thought Iâd send you a few, as you may want to use them in your slideshow when guests visit your site. Thank you so much once again - I feel exhausted but overwhelmed at how wonderful the whole experience was.
