Love the Island!

We love the Isle of Wight; it's a beautiful, magical place to hold your wedding. But being an Island destination, that little stretch of the Solent can make your wedding planning a little more complicated.

One of our frequently asked questions is:- Are there any ferry discounts if we hold our wedding at East Afton?

The answer is: YES!

As always we're here to help out!

We’ve negotiated on your behalf, to bring you some great savings with discounted ferry crossings. ✔️

With up to 50% discounts available on both Wightlink and Red Funnel you are guaranteed the lowest possible ferry fares.

These are available to the bridal party and any guests staying at the venue or Tapnell Farm.

Once your wedding booking is confirmed, we will provide you with all the details you need to take advantage of these fantastic ferry prices. 🙌🏼

“Such a perfect venue!” 🤍

We recently received some lovely feedback from Jennie & Shaun who enjoyed a late September wedding.

“I cannot recommend East Afton Farmhouse enough!

The venue was beautiful, Chloe & Mel were brilliant all the way through. No question or query was too big or silly, they handled everything wonderfully and I felt I could fully trust them with our special day. This meant we could just relax and enjoy the day.

The farmhouse accommodation was outstanding and provided us with everything we needed. As family from both sides were travelling to the Island it was great to have everyone in the same place. It was great to have the freedom we did to decorate the venue and make it our own, however it really didn't need much as the venue is stunning!

Thank you to everyone, the day was exactly how we wanted it to be, and it wouldn't have been possible without the amazing team at East Afton Farmhouse!”.

Curious about our Coach House?

The smallest of our wedding barns, lovingly converted for more intimate weddings & events. Perfectly proportioned, it makes a great choice for a mini or micro-wedding.

With large bi-folding doors the light streams in looking out onto the Courtyard gardens. They bring the outside in, creating a lovely informal space for you and your guests to enjoy.

It also has its own bar area & facilities, so it's great as an overflow for larger weddings or on days when the weather isn't quite perfect.

The Coach House is the little sister of our Events Barn and is included as standard with any of our inclusive wedding packages.

Petitely perfect! 🤍
