WHAT OUR COUPLES SAY
“I honestly can not thank the team at Runa Farm enough they have been exceptional. Our wedding coordinator Kenzie was fabulous and responsive and nothing was too much trouble. Both Ell and Ian on the day of the wedding were unreal making all of our guests feel so welcome and everyone commented on how relaxed and fun the day was. We can’t thank you enough for making our big day so special THANK YOU X”
“Highly recommend Runa Farm as a wedding venue. The staff; particularly Emma Cheslett our wedding coordinator, Ian, our Master of Ceremonies and onsite coordinator Kelsey – a credit to the venue & company. These people made our day magical. They all went above and beyond to ensure it was a day to remember. – thank you so much. The food, decor, ambiance, drinks, staff, accommodation, care and effort were all superb Nothing was ever too much trouble and on the day our expectations were exceeded. Book this venue, you won’t regret it.”
“Sarah Borthwick was our wedding coordinator and she was so approachable from the very start. She answered any query that we had (lots of them!) and made the wedding process run very smoothly. Sarah wrote everything up which meant we didn’t need to create a ‘wedding file’ or have the stress of sorting all of that. We had such a lovely day and felt like guests at our own wedding, we had time to actually enjoy the wedding and got served canapés and drinks in the room above the aisle so we could have time together before joining everyone else. Runa farm is such a lovely venue and I 100% recommend it. There are so many photo opportunity especially if you do end up with not so good weather which you have to consider when picking a venue.”
“Myself and my partner got married here and we could not fault Runa farm at all. The staff are so friendly, kind and professional. The venue is absolutely beautiful from the chapel to the farm area with all the animal. Our amazing wedding coordinator Jenna was incredible, so helpful for everything couldn’t have ask for anyone better. Would highly recommend getting married here!!”
“Runa farm is the most stunning, relaxing, rustic, gorgeous venue!
Everyone loved it, the chapel is like no other and everyone on the day made us feel so special. Becky really looked after us, even though her venue was lartington hall, she joined us on the day alongside Ian our master of ceremonies and they literally went above and beyond making sure we didn’t need anything or want for anything. A truly amazing day made even more so by the fabulous efforts of Runa! Thank you, I would love to get married at all of your venues haha!”
“I cannot fault Runa farm what so ever! From the start to the end of the process has been an absolute dream, they are so organised and are with you every single step of the way. Nothing is too much to ask and they allow you to customise every single moment you like. On the actually day Kelsey was our wedding manager and everything was perfect, I (the bride) had such a relaxing, stress free morning and everything down to drying my bouquet was taken care of! Thank you Runa farm for making our dreams come true x”
