Do you have a recommended suppliers list?
We are very happy to recommend suppliers who we know and trust. We are happy for you to choose your own caterers, florists, entertainment, photographers and anyone else you need. We do ask that before you confirm any suppliers you make them aware of our policies and they visit our venue if necessary. They will also need to provide confirmation of insurance and other health and safety documentation.
Do you provide a catering service?
We can supply Afternoon Tea on our vintage china, an evening cheese table or light evening buffet. For a more substantial wedding breakfast meal, we advise hiring an outside caterer. We can recommend local catering companies who we have worked with. We have a preparation kitchen available for caterers to use and can supply all crockery and cutlery.
Can we have a BBQ or pizza oven?

We are happy to supply all your drinks throughout the day to make your life easier or if you prefer, you are welcome to supply your own wine for post-ceremony drinks, during your main meal and for toasts. We will supply the glassware. All other drinks must be purchased from our bar. We do not charge corkage.
Do you allow fireworks?
For the welfare of our animals, we regret that we are unable to permit fireworks at Hope Farm.
What happens if it rains?
Whilst we hope that your wedding day will be bright and sunny, we cannot make any guarantees that the weather will be perfect. We can ensure you and your guests' comfort. We have plenty of indoor space available so if necessary your whole wedding can take place inside without the need to move furniture.
Can we arrange a visit?
We would love you to visit and highly recommend viewing Hope Farm before you book. You can visit as many times as you need to help you visualise your plans. Please get in touch to arrange an appointment.
