Just received 2 lovely reviews from recent weddings:

From Maya & Faris - 27th July

The perfect DIY venue!!
We had an idea of what kind of wedding we wanted and felt very lucky to stumble across Moon Down and find it was so close to us!
Lisa & Charles were brilliant from start to finish. They kept in contact between booking to the big day to make sure everything was OK and offered a hand during the set up days. They were so flexible and accommodating and let us have free rein over the space. The day ended up being perfect thanks to the extensive time we had to set up and natural beauty of the venue.
Thank you!

From Chloe & Dan - 3rd August

We just had our wedding at Moon Down and we couldn’t be happier that we chose this venue. Not only is it absolutely gorgeous, and incredible value for money, but Lisa & Charlie were so helpful and went out of their way to support us with setting up and preparations, whilst also being relaxed and allowing us to do things our own way. Charlie helped us build a beautiful archway for our ceremony, and both Lisa and Charlie were so helpful and efficient on the morning when we had some last minute mishaps with other suppliers, so much so that we barely even noticed there was a problem, they handled it all for us so that we could enjoy the wedding.
We loved the DIY element of the venue which allowed us to have things exactly as we wanted them, but at the same time I ended up actually using very few of the decorations I had planned, as the venue is so beautiful and peaceful as it is, it didn’t need anything else to make it look amazing. We would thoroughly recommend Moon Down to anyone planning a DIY wedding, and would hire them again in an instant if we were planning another big event. Our guests loved it too and several of them mentioned to us how after seeing it they wanted to hire the venue for their own weddings and parties.

If you would like your wedding at Moon Down, then drop me a line.

Watch the final preparations before Emily & James’s wedding. The work by the couple, their family and friends was phenomenal, with hand-made lawn games and chill out tents for both kids and adults. A bell tent village for guests, a silent disco amongst the trees, a ceremony in the woodland chapel with bubbles and canapés in the meadow afterwards. A wedding picnic as guests were entertained by a jazz trio, followed by speeches and an array of beautiful cakes and a cheeseboard to die for. There was dancing and cocktails and the evening wound down with hot chocolate and s’mores by the fire pit. A sparkler finale waved Emily & James off to their honeymoon’ bell tent pitched in privacy and peace of the meadow. Keep following to see some of the official photos of their day.
