Description

Carefree yet considered, fun but luxurious, Runa Farm offers individual character and style all wrapped up in an honest, organic and private setting for celebrations as unique as those taking their vows. The Runa Farm Chapel is the hidden gem of the farm - entirely unique and unlike any other wedding ceremony venue - with its ornate tented ceiling, smooth polished stone walls and shimmering lanterns delivering an ethereal and romantic experience. For the ultimate dress reveal, brides access the Chapel through a secret entrance making their way down the statement wow-worthy staircase, leading directly to the wedding aisle. The Old Barn is where the eating, drinking, and merriment takes place. A fabulous timber and exposed stone building brimming with character, flanked on two sides by picture-perfect private terraces that will transport guests to the Mediterranean in an instant. Of course, life on the farm is all about the outdoors, and so we love to share more of the estate’s natural beauty with our marrying couples by offering an abundance of opportunities to introduce alfresco elements to the celebrations; from welcome drinks in the meadow, private dining the night before on the terrace, pizza slices in the kitchen garden, or fabulous feasts served up from our impressive outdoor kitchen as well as luxury glamping pig huts and lodges. Extended Wedding Celebrations Why consider a two or three day celebration? 1. Your extended stay could be completely free for you the happy couple. 2. Spend more quality time with your family & friends, one of life’s great luxuries. 3.

BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!
We had our wedding at Runa Farm and it was just the best day ever, nothing was too much to ask from the team and everything just flowed lovely. I couldn't have asked for anything more! Even the lead up when I had millions of questions (because I'm a control freak 😂) Jenna was always on hand to help confirm details and settled my mind, which meant I didn't have to worry on the day! I would recommend Runa Farm/Apartment Group to anyone who wants the perfect wedding!

The perfect venue for usThe perfect venue for us
The venue is so beautiful and relaxing, exactly what we wanted for our wedding day. What made it so much better was being able to have our whole day here. The staff simply couldn’t do enough for us and everything ran really smoothly. The venue is so beautiful and relaxing, exactly what we wanted for our wedding day.

Amazing from start to finish!Amazing from start to finish!
What can I say, our wedding at Runa farm was just perfect! The staff went above and beyond from the moment we got there to the moment we left. A big shout out to Jenna, Katherine and Ian who done an exceptional job of helping us throughout the wedding process! So many of our guests could not stop complimenting how amazing the food, drinks and just how beautiful the venue was. I didn’t think it was possible, but the whole day exceeded our expectations.

The most magical and amazing day The most magical and amazing day
Our wedding day at Runa Farm was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the atmosphere—rustic, romantic, and beautifully unique. The venue has this perfect blend of laid-back charm and luxury, and every corner feels thoughtfully designed for unforgettable moments. The staff were exceptional from start to finish. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they made the whole day flow seamlessly. Their attention to detail was unbelievable; everything felt effortless, allowing us to simply relax and soak up every second. The chapel was breathtaking, the grounds were stunning for photos, and the reception space felt warm, stylish, and full of character. Our guests are still raving about the food—it was absolutely outstanding, from the canapés right through to the evening bites. What truly made Runa Farm special was the feeling that our day was genuinely ours. The team created an atmosphere full of joy, comfort, and celebration, and we couldn’t have imagined saying “I do” anywhere else. If you’re considering Runa Farm for your wedding, do it.

Where do i even begin... WOWWhere do i even begin... WOW
I cant even begin to explain how perfect our day was on the 3rd of January 2025 at Runa Farm. The venue was one I had always dreamed of getting married at and it did not disappoint. Jenna made every step of organising our big day so easy and was quick to answer any queries or concerns we had. Ian on our big day was a superstar, all of our guests said how fab he was and nothing was too much trouble. The venue is simple stunning, they created everything I had hoped for with my DIY creations and being a perfectionist this was a tough task to uptake. The food was incredible, the drinks and the accommodations all simply stunning. I want to have my day all over again, it was perfect from beginning to end, all thanks to Runa Farm and the amazing staff.

The most perfect dayThe most perfect day
Where do I even begin! We got married on Friday 18th July 2025 and we had the most perfect day from the night before staying in the Farmhouse with all my bridesmaids and Mam to the day itself. Ian - Master of Ceremonies is absolutely amazing at what he does. He’s an absolute credit to Runa Farm. Nothing is a bother even to getting me some flip flops during the wedding breakfast thank you so much for everything you did for us I honestly can’t thank you enough. You are amazing To our fantastic wedding co-ordinators thank you for everything from all the planning beforehand to our wedding day nothing was a bother. You made my vision come to life with setting everything up. The food was gorgeous from the canapés to the three course meal to the evening sausage baps everything was exceptional hats off to the chef that day and all the catering team. All of our guests mentioned how nice the food was days later and how the beef melted in their mouths. Thank you to all the staff involved in our wedding day I can’t thank you enough. The venue itself is beautiful and I wouldn’t have picked anywhere to have our special day. I wish we could do it all again. If you’re looking for a venue I highly recommend Runa Farm they can’t do enough for you so thank you so much Where do I even begin!

Amazing venueAmazing venue
We had our wedding at Runa Farm in July of this year and it was such a fabulous day. We had Alysha as our wedding coordinator and she was so helpful from start to finish, there were no question too stupid or too much and having never done this before and not knowing what we were doing, it was really appreciated having someone to guide us through it. At the wedding itself we had Amy and Ian looking after us who just too everything off my hands the night before and made sure we had everything we needed which was a huge relief when it was all brought together! Absolute gold star team, couldn’t have got there without them! The venue is just stunning, our photographer had a field day with all the beautiful backdrops, we were really lucky with the weather too (which obviously you can’t control) but this meant we really got to utilise all the lovely outdoor areas. We had our dog part of the day and she was also looked after really well, couldn’t fault how dog inclusive it was. The prices were really competitive too, there were venues we looked at which weren’t anywhere near as nice, didn’t have half of what was included and were double the price! Highly recommend having your big day at Runa Farm, you won’t regret it! We had our wedding at Runa Farm in July of this year and it was such a fabulous day.
