Your Herts and Beds Wedding - December/January 2025/2026 (Issue 113)

A secluded countryside haven offering exclusive use, relaxed luxury and unforgettable spaces Bursting with romantic charm, South Farm is a unique barn and country house wedding venue on the Hertfordshire/ Cambridgeshire borders, and looking after its little part of the world is a big priority for the team. With a stunning location, a lovingly restored Grade-II listed farmhouse, a beautiful summerhouse set in formal gardens, a magnificent Tudor Barn and other converted barn buildings, it provides a host of enchanting indoor and outdoor ceremony and reception spaces, whatever the weather. Stunning spaces The Drawing Room is an intimate space for up to 35 guests; the light-filled Old Dairy, overlooking the paddocks, accommodates up to 100 guests; and the grand Tudor Barn, with its stunning elm beams and fairy lights, hosts up to 146. The garden Summerhouse is simply stunning, providing a gorgeous outdoor Spring and Summer setting, and the Horse Barn is a lovingly converted, high-specification, flexible venue space. Originally the home of eight working shire horses, as well as a ceremony space, it now offers the facility to have a designated dancing space in the evenings. With a part-glazed suspended dance floor and dramatic designer lighting, it’s a stunning addition. With exclusive use for the duration of the wedding, exceptional service from South Farm’s friendly and professional team and detailed planning from experienced wedding coordinators, guests enjoy its delicious home-grown food and award-winning menus, taking full advantage of the wide varieties of seasonal fruit and vegetables grown on-site. Wildflower meadows and orchards create the perfect wedding backdrop and wildlife haven. The gardens are stunning year-round, offering colour and interest in every season. Highlights include a shimmering winter garden, woodland bulbs brightening the spring beds, overflowing ever-changing summer blooms and the rich golds and crimsons of the heritage arboretum in autumn. Homegrown food The organic smallholding, spread over ten acres, is quite exceptional in the range and excellence of its year-long seasonal supplies. Menus are seasonally tailored to what is growing in the smallholding and, if there’s anything a couple has been imagining, the team will try to make it happen. Having fresh produce with zero food miles, including eggs from the chickens and pork from the free-range kune kune pigs, means every couple gets the benefit of the most amazing fresh ingredients. The rustic Barnyard lies at the heart of South Farm and is home to a collection of rare breed animals. The piglets melt guests’ hearts and, along with chickens, ducks, turkeys and peacocks, keep children and guests entertained. South Farm now also has two wonderful miniature donkeys, Snowdrop and Bluebell, along with three adorable pygmy goats — there’s always something to see and enjoy! Rest your head As with everything at South Farm, the accommodation is distinctly different. Guests may stay in comfortable bedrooms, a unique collection of Romany Caravans and Showman’s Wagons, or even bring a tent or campervan and camp! South Farm is dedicated to offering a beautiful setting empowered by sustainability, with a commitment to environmental responsibility. It means everything to the team that couples entrust them with their wedding day, and their ethos helps reduce the carbon footprint while creating a perfect backdrop for the wedding of their dreams.
