Wedding Ceremony · 80 guests
Deirdre and Glenn were phenomenal hosts for our wedding. The weather was extremely unpredictable on the day but they were extremely flexible with our ceremony and reception options to make our day special. The venue is stunning and we made great use of the fig tree arbour and the many, many fairy lights. We loved absolutely everything about this venue and its history.

10/10 Wedding venue.
Looked absolutely breathtaking and was the best place for a wedding that was not quite traditional, catering a wide variety of services! With how much they aided in planning and what they provided it made planning the wedding so much less stressful and having everything come together was an absolutely amazing experience. The wedding would not have been the same without the venue, their help, and the services they provided. Cannot recommend enough for anyone who wants an outdoors wedding!
Basically if someone is looking for a cost effective, minimal stress option while still getting that fairytale type wedding this is the place to go!
