Clayfield Farm’s Happy Couples
“We got married at Clayfield Farm on the 13/09/25 and had the most amazing day. Charlotte, Wayne and the team were great and nothing was too much trouble.
The venue is just stunning we booked our wedding before dove barn was built as we loved the venue, but then dove barn just really topped it off we loved having the ceremony in such a gorgeous room.
All our guests were commenting on how lovely it was and we were lucky enough to have a sunny day so all our guests could make the most of the outdoor space overlooking the fields of countryside. We stayed over in Martin cottage which was immaculate I loved getting ready there with my bridal party and got some gorgeous photos.
Thankyou so much for creating our dream wedding”
S&J September 2025
“We had our wedding at Clayfield on 31st July and made the most of it by staying for three nights. Everything was perfect from start to finish, from all the pre-wedding planning and organising with Charlotte right through to the wedding itself.
The whole team were so accommodating and flexible, which was one of the main reasons we fell in love with Clayfield in the first place. You simply don’t find that level of flexibility at many wedding venues. We also loved that it is a family-run business, which made our whole experience feel even more personal and made our few days there even more special.
Every time we visited Clayfield, the venue looked incredible, and it was just as beautiful for our wedding. All of our friends and family absolutely loved the venue and the accommodation too.
We genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our wedding and will always have such special memories of our time at Clayfield. We loved it so much that we’re already thinking about returning for our first wedding anniversary to relive some of those amazing memories!”
T&J - July 2026
“We got married at Clayfield Farm in August and I wish we could do it all over again.
Charlotte and Wayne are really lovely and we were always so excited to head down to see them and discuss our wedding plans in the months prior. It was really great to have so much freedom in planning our wedding without a lot of the rules and packages that some wedding venues have, allowing us to have full control over our budget.
Having the accommodation on site was also definitely a highlight for us and we enjoyed the option to celebrate with our family the night before the wedding and be able to wake up already at the venue!
The venue itself is so beautiful and even with it raining on our wedding day, everything was still perfect.”
