The Style
Everything about Oddhouse Farm is very much individual - exactly how we like it! It's against our grain to restrict you to using certain florists, entertainers, etc. or doing things in a specific style.
We want you to have the flexibility to allow your imagination and creativity to run wild! So your Big Day really can be as individual as you are!
We are a private family run business with a small experienced team, who are always on hand to offer support, make suggestions if you wish and share ideas of previous experiences or simply keep you sane at times!
We regularly work with some great, local artisans whose details we are happy to pass on, should you wish but ultimately ............................. the choices are yours!

Flowers & Decor
There are plenty of areas within The Dutch Barn for you to get creative with your floral decorations, Christmas trees and quirky bits and bobs! From the large old fashioned Pulley Maids to the wrought iron ballustrading on the mezzanine floor.
Music & Entertainment
Appreciating that everyone's taste is different and themes and styles vary dependent on where you met, your random tastes and the special journey you've been on getting to this point. Bearing that in mind, we offer complete flexibility for you to choose the exact entertainment you want for your occasion. Whether that may be a band, DJ, barn dance, salsa or something else.
Candles & Styling
We appreciate the ambience which candles can create. throughout the venue, however, these have to be given serious safety consideration. With this in mind we only permit the use of battery operated candles throughout and during your event and do not permit naked flames on site. There are some great alternative options to naked flame candles, which our Associatie Stylists will be happy to help you with.
Parking & Transport
Here at Oddhouse Farm we want guests to relax and enjoy the occasion, we are also always keen to reduce our carbon footprint. We have ample car parking for your occasion but would always encourage you and your party to use organised group transport from the location of your ceremony to Oddhouse Farm, wherever possible. Due to our rural local, it is always important to prebook taxis and transport.
