The Ceremony
Whether you would prefer a traditional wedding ceremony and reception, or a more informal relaxed approach to your special day, here at Fordhall Farm we can cater for all.
With the legalities sorted at a time to suit you, you can be free to create our own ceremony on the farm.
For more information visit Shropshire Registry Services.
With a selection of ceremony destinations on site, including our beautiful roundhouse structure nestled away in the woodlands, or perhaps our Norman Ringwork and Bailey site with an outstanding view across the valley, you will be spoilt for choice as to where to host your nearest and dearest for your ceremony.
We are fully registered with Shropshire council to hold legal ceremonies right here on site, so long gone are the days of being restricted to a church or registry office to share your vows.
We work closely with local celebrants to ensure that your ceremony is personal to you and your partner. It can include music, readings, a dress or none of the above, your day, your way.
Food & Drink
At the heart of every wedding day is the food you share with your family and friends.
As we all know, food is the ingredient that binds us together and here at Fordhall Farm we have a vast range of options to suit all tastes.
Ranging from a traditional silver service bespoke menu, right through to a hog roast of Fordhall Farm Old Spot Gloucester pork, the possibilities are endless. We use fresh, seasonal produce to form our outstanding menus of which are produced and delivered by our own in-house chef and catering team.
We can provide a fully stocked bar delivering a range of locally sourced ciders, lagers and ales alongside a selection of organic and local wines. With a variety of spirits and mixers there will be something for everybody.
