Thomas & Hayley 

The FHI will make sure your ideas come to life just the way you imagined and will take care of everything for smooth running of the day.

Everything was taken care of for us, it made planning and setting up the day easy. The service was amazing and all staff were attentive and friendly. Nothing was too much effort.

The venue had everything we needed and looked beautiful, cosy and warm, perfect for a winter wedding..and the smell of the fire!

Nothing was ever too much trouble for the FHI team , they went above and beyond to make my ideas come to life.
They gave us added extras with the decor that we did not expect , which was amazing!

Everyone was so friendly , helpful and accommodating.
The venue is stunning and speaks for itself.

Karen & Steve

The whole team were so helpful, nothing was too much trouble, and took so much stress away. Supplier recommendations were spot on and really gave us the atmosphere and wedding day we hoped for.

We booked here because of how friendly the team were, the style of the barn and that we could have the Christmas tree up for a festive venue!

Thank you so much to the whole team, and particularly Steven, who was amazing on the Friday helping to sort out last minute accommodation and who looked after us so well - he really made a difference to easing the stress and panic I first had when I arrived on Friday and Emily for everything running so smoothly on the day and looking exactly how I imagined it to.

Caitlin & David 

The venue was a stunning setting for our wedding, and the staff decorated both the barn and event suite perfectly. We really liked having the use of these two separate spaces as well as the outdoor area, to allow for photos with different backdrops, and bring variety to the day for guests.

The staff and suppliers on the day were brilliant, and ensured everything ran smoothly. The food was exceptional - all of our guests commented on what a wonderful wedding breakfast it was, and we love that it is locally and organically sourced! Thank you.

We were also really keen to have a venue where guests could stay on site or close-by, to allow us to make a weekend of the event. Mocketts farm and the new coach house was perfect for this.

Kerri & Jerome 

The whole experience from the moment we booked to the actual day was incredible. Emily was fantastic at keeping in contact with us and ensuring everything we requested was exactly as we wanted. She made suggestions, helped with our ideas and made us feel special and confident throughout our planning. On the day every single member of staff from each department were on the ball, friendly and efficient. Nothing was too much trouble for anyone.

The Ferry House Inn gave us the most magical day, one even better than we could of hoped for and both us and all of our friends and family loved every second.

You will be so looked after at The Ferry House Inn, we 1000% guarantee it.

Jennifer & David 

Service was amazing from start to finish. Not matter what the query Emily and the team dealt with it straight away.
We could not have asked for more.

We fell in love with the venue from the first moment.

julie & lewis

We both had the most perfect, magical day we could ever have dreamt of. The Ferry House Inn will now be an extremely special place to both of us as we have so many memories here that we will cherish forever. All week we have just been smiling from ear to ear and occasionally laughing about something or other that happened on our wedding day. This was in no small part down to yourself and your team and we are both so, so grateful. Everything ran so smoothly and allowed us to completely relax on the day and really enjoy ourselves. Phil created such an amazing, warm, fun and relaxed atmosphere for us and our guests.

Amazing! We had our wedding reception here on 3rd November. A great venue in beautiful surroundings. From the moment we had our first look around the venue in 2016 we knew that we had found the venue for us! They have been brilliant in helping answer all of our questions and the many many meetings we had with them to go through plans. They were great at helping us plan our day exactly the way we wanted it. Matthew and I have so many brilliant memories of our day and some gorgeous photos too!

'Amazing venue for our wedding'
We had the pleasure of having our wedding at the FHI on 27/10/2018. We had the most amazing time from start to finish. Victoria and her team especially Emily were great in the lead up to the wedding, everything was very straight forward and if I had any questions they were answered promptly. The staff worked tirelessly all day to ensure our guests had everything they needed and nothing was too much trouble. The addition of Guy the toastmaster was brilliant he kept everything running smoothly and ensured we were happy with everything. Our guests have not stopped talking about the wedding and how much they enjoyed themselves The food (hog roast) and cones in the evening were delicious, even the most fussiest of eaters did not go hungry. The FHI DJ was excellent he had everybody up dancing the night away. We have no hesitation in recommending the ferry house inn as a wedding venue and look forward to returning for our anniversary meal (sooner as we love the food and views).

SHADE & GERARD

We got married on 01 October this year and we honestly cannot praise the team at the Ferry House Inn enough for helping to make our Wedding day truly spectacular.
Our Wedding Coordinator Emily was there to help us on our journey from day one. She dealt with all the inane (and often repetitive) questions we had in a patient and supportive manner. Emily and the team also went out of the way to support our random and picky requests. I wanted the opportunity to do set up myself so they arranged for us to have access the evening before which was a huge relief. Also, Ellie was the poor soul stuck with us during this time and she was absolutely fabulous (Employee of the month award people), running around helping anywhere she was needed and then pitched in on the day AND on the day after during pack up. Literally loved her!
Whilst weddings are a business, the FHI team made us feel like this was the most important day for them. Emily was even running around picking straw of my veil and dress (If you are staying at Mocketts Cottage, which we recommend, then the tractor ride to the venue is a MUST!) and making sure it was just right for my grand entrance. The food was simply delicious, hog roast yum and my god that Lemon Tart was more-ish. The staff work hard on the day to make it all look effortless.
We cannot forget that the pièce de résistance of the FHI Wedding team is the toastmaster/ Master of Ceremony PHIL. This Guy is honestly the best. He and the team work so flawlessly together, and he is such a genuinely great guy. If you are getting married here, then you must have Phil. For a control freak like me Phil was a dream come true. He kept the day flowing smoothly even when there were timing issues, he took extra special care of us (basically stared me down till I ate my canapes, but I needed them) and was simply lovely. 
All our guests raved about the gorgeous location (come on, the barn is stunning, and the views are beautiful), the delicious food, the attentive staff and Phil.
If you want to have a day that you will never forget please choose the Ferry House Inn and it’s wonderful team.
Thank you, you marvellous people!

vanessa & rob

If you drive up to the Ferry House Inn whilst on a search for a wedding venue and your first thought is "this is perfect" then hold onto that thought and don't bother looking at any other venues because it is perfect. We had the most beautiful wedding day here. All the staff are amazing and nothing seems to phase them.
"We have 4 dogs and would like them to be part of the ceremony" no problem 
"I want to wear 3 different dresses at different stages of the wedding" no problem 
"We have guests with various dietary requirements" no problem 
"Members of our wedding party have special needs" no problem
"We want a double decker bus" no problem
"We want to pick our own flowers" no problem 
They care so much about your day and do everything in their power to make it happen for you. Special thanks go to Phil, the brilliant Toastmaster and Emily, our wonderful wedding planner. It was the best day of my life and I will never forget it.

Phil the toastmaster was just amazing and made sure everything was just perfect and is such a credit to The Ferry House. Thanks Phil!

We had our amazing wedding here on 7th July 2018 and couldn’t have asked for a better day! The team really do the best job, putting in so much hard work but making it seem so effortless! They looked after all the finer detail allowing us to relax and enjoy ourselves whilst everything ran smoothly in the background. That’s not even mentioning the location with that view

katie & dave

I literally have nothing to fault about FHI or Mocketts the venue and the staff are simply fabulous.
We were lucky enough to get married here in May this year and everything was perfect!
The staff are always so friendly and helpful, I’m pretty sure I drove Emily and Victoria mad with all my emails but they were always so lovely with their responses to me. We live in Essex and travelled down once a month to the venue, even if it was just for some lunch or a drink and we were always welcomed by name. They really do give the personal touch!
We stayed at Mocketts the night before the wedding and I got ready there in the morning with the tractor taking me to the venue, what an experience to remember! We got marriedin their beautiful barn and had our wedding breakfast in the marquee and had the resident DJ for the evening.
Guy was our toast master and he was fantastic at keeping the whole day run smoothly
I could talk for hours about how perfect my wedding was. If you get married here I can assure you that you will not be disappointed!

kim & cliff

We got married here the 26th April and it was the most perfect day. Emily & her team went above and beyond to make sure of a smooth running day and I can’t thank them Enough. The way they dressed the venue was more than I ever expected it to look like and I was a bit taken aback at the pure beauty of it.
The food during the day was so good and everyone commented on how perfectly timed and smooth the day was alongside the great tasting food! The team was always on hand for any stupid questions I had running up to the wedding day and the communication with us and the team was continuous. I don’t think if it hadn’t if been for Emily being so professional I wouldn’t have trusted them as much as we did. So Thankyou so much ferry house inn & not forgetting Phil the toastmaster for making our wedding day amazing and more than I ever dreamt of!

natalie & james

We got married here on 17th March 2018 and it was a magical day from start to finish. The venue itself is amazing and we have had so many comments from our guests saying how efficiently the day was run and that they had the best time.
From our first meeting last year to the follow up emails after our big day the service, care and genuine interest that everyone we dealt with through out this has shown is outstanding and a testament to how good a team there is at FHI.
We stayed in Mocketts cottage the night before which was superb and then the rooms above the night of the wedding and we can't fault any of it. You won't go wrong booking your special day here as it truly will be fantastic.
