For weddings of 80+ guests for a sit down event or 100+ guests for a cocktail style wedding a marquee is recommended. The Shed is the perfect partner for you dancefloor, couples love it – it’s a real vibe once you put your DJ / music in there

If you’d like to have an alfresco-style wedding with 80+ seated / 100+ cocktail we suggest having a marquee on hold – hopefully you won’t need to use it however if the weather doesn’t want to play ball, you’ve got a back up in place. Many marquee companies will take a small non-refundable deposit for this peace of mind.

Many couples are looking for a marquee, garden style wedding regardless of numbers and that is perfectly achievable at Willow Farm

Weekday weddings are held on a Tues – Thurs period. We may also be able to accommodate other dates – just ask us about your preferred special day

There are so many wonderful sites around the farm to set up a marquee and you can position the marquee either directly on to the grass or on the pavement / hardstand, and built with or without a marquee wooden floor to save on costs.

Absolutlely ! We have an amazing range of local suppliers built up over the past 8 years for all elements of your event – from caterers, to musicians,  florists, celebrants, photographers and many more.
