✨ Bride Book Review ~ "Perfect venue for our wedding reception" ✨

"Gorwell Farm was the most perfect venue for our wedding reception in July 2023. Mary was a pleasure to deal with, giving us a full day to set up the barn and even enough time the day after the wedding to host lunch at no extra cost.

It is a 'DIY' venue meaning there is an unlimited choice of decor and catering options and you can really make it your own, however beware that this can mean a lot more work in booking and liaising with suppliers as well as setting up and packing down. Mary is super helpful and can provide a list of recommended suppliers.

Having the on-site accommodation is a huge benefit and great to have when many guests are travelling long distances to the wedding. The barn is nestled in the countryside with lots of wildlife around and provides a really special location for a wedding. We had many compliments from our guests saying it was the perfect venue and we tend to agree!"

Always a wonderful pleasure to welcome the bride and groom on their wedding day ☺️
