From seeing Ridge Farm for the first time, we were completely besotted with it. With family flying in from France and Hong Kong for our wedding it seemed a perfect venue where everything could be self contained, we could have ceremony, reception and have the day after to relax in the pool and hot tub with run our own barbecue for close friends and family.
From the offset Eleanor discussed the process and plans clearly and concisely staying in regular contact, when we turned up everyone at ridge farm unloaded all drinks from the van, put it in fridges and put the bulk of our decor up for us, before sorting the tables out for us. Jackie and Max bent over backwards to make sure our big day went smoothly, with max even jumping in to give out Buck’s Fizz when our own plan for that went wrong, and Rich and Plum ran the bar perfectly and seemlessly helped get our band playing and then switch to late night music.
When we woke up on Sunday morning everything was already packed up, and the pool and jacuzzi were ready to go.
The grounds of Ridge farm are absolutely beautiful and this was frequently commented on by guests throughout the day. The farm house, bridal cottage, and venues for the wedding itself were presented to the highest standard. And with us being music buffs and many of the guests being big music fans too, the history of the house as a recording studio and the nods to its history with gold discs on the wall and the old studio monitors in the sitting room were just the icing on the cake for the perfect venue for us.
We can’t thank the whole ridge farm team enough for the perfect venue creating memories for us and those important to us long into the future.
