You and your service providers can access the venue from an agreed and pre-organised time. The café can be accessed from 3:30pm. 

The on-site marquee can be set up in the gardens as a wet weather option.
A decision to use the marquee is made on the morning prior to the wedding day and the marquee is only charged for if used.
The herb farm is closed to the public from 4:30pm allowing total privacy for your wedding. If the reception is in the café building the café will close earlier on that day. 

Although all parts of the herb farm do not close early all consideration is given to providing a high level of privacy for your wedding.

          The bar closes and the music concludes at 11:45pm and guests are required to depart by 12am 

Photo Opportunities 

The herb farm is a stunning backdrop for memorable wedding photographs.
There are many areas in the garden which can be used and you are able to have privacy from the wedding guests for this special time while being at the same location.
There are also many local locations which we can recommend as alternative photo settings. Guests can relax in the gardens with drinks and nibbles while the wedding party have their photos taken, ensuring a seamless flow to the day. 

Music Hire
Live music or a DJ can be organised for your special day. Please see our recommendations section for great local providers. The café has a sound system that can play CD’s and MP3’s. Marquee weddings will need to organise music. 

We recommend you use a battery operated sound system or live music for your garden ceremony. We are able to run electricity to some ceremony sites on request. 

Catering 

We have a delicious range of canapés and buffet menus to suit everyone’s needs. Whether it is canapés through to a full buffet selection your tastes and needs are catered for. Our award winning Chef will ensure this important part of your day is remembered for years to come. All catering is to be organised through the herb farm café.
