On Saturday the very talented Angela Turner as our guest tutor and florists and flower arrangers transformed our wedding barn with wonderful tablescapes and wedding bouquets. Our very own Georgia Stones was the perfect model!

Our woodland wedding ceremony was the first choice for a wedding ceremony last week! Anna made her entrance crossing the new bridge built by Matt! How amazing do Anna and Kyle look sharing their wedding vows.

Ashton and Tom- we cannot thank you enough for your review. It was a lovely day despite the threat of rain and we are delighted all your dreams and plans came together on the day. Such lovely personal touches with your truly original painted vases and ribbons making the barns look incredible together with Jenna's talent too! Thank you so much from all the team at Hope Farm :

" Where to start... we have just got married at Hope Farm and it really was the most wonderful venue. We made up our minds after our first visit, Sue and Nigel were so welcoming and laid back and it felt like the perfect fit. Sue was so patient with our many questions over the next 18 months, happy to arrange visits and she always promptly replied, nothing was too much trouble. Sue was really open and enthusiastic about our ideas and was always happy to talk through how to make things work. We loved that it had multiple areas for different parts of the day, including a wet weather back up plan which we did end up relocating our ceremony to – but it was just as beautiful. We also loved all the bonus features like the tuktuk, the firepits, the alpacas, onsite accommodation (including an amazing 2 story shephards hut for the bride and groom); it gave us the uniqueness we were looking for. Everything ran so smoothly on the day and Sue and the team were just brilliant, it really felt as though what we had imagined for 18 months came to life and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone else. It is a beautiful venue with amazing views and a totally brilliant team behind it. Thank you!
