The Wellbeing Farm Edgworth to feature on Rich Wedding Poor Wedding

In September last year, The Wellbeing Farm received an unexpected call from a Channel 5 producer about a new show called Rich Wedding Poor Wedding.

Airing at 10pm this Sunday (May 5), it follows two couples from contrasting financial backgrounds as they plan their dream weddings.

The Wellbeing Farm in Edgworth is one of a select few featured in the hour-and-a-half-long episode.

Liv Chase, 26, head of sales and marketing at The Wellbeing Farm, shared what’s in store for viewers.

“One of the brides-to-be told the producers that she loved our venue and wanted to view it,” Liv explained.

The couples looked at three venues each, with starkly contrasting budgets.

Describing itself as “a wedding venue like no other”, The Wellbeing Farm is an option for the “rich wedding” couple.

When Channel 5 arrived, Liv said the team was introduced to couple Janet and Gary.

Together, founder of The Wellbeing Farm, Celia Gaze, and Liv led the tour, “doing what they always do”.

“We showed them round, offered a nice coffee and brownie, and discussed what they were looking for.”

Liv said the experience was “completely different” from anything they had done before, but it was “still the natural reaction of anyone getting married and looking at a venue”.

“It was just like a normal viewing, but with a camera in your face,” she joked.

Liv added that the on-site llamas and alpacas stole the show, as always.

To find out which venue Janet and Gary chose, tune in to Channel 5 on Sunday night at 10pm.

The Wellbeing Farm offers bespoke and fun experiences, with capacity for up to 300 standing and 200 seated guests.

There is a small barn for those wanting an intimate ceremony and even a licensed outdoor pavilion.

“We’re known for taking the stress out of wedding planning,” said Liv.

As a B Corp-accredited venue, as much as possible is upcycled.

“There’s so much waste involved in weddings, so we really try to counteract that.”

With a prop shed full of décor that couples are welcome to use for free, locally sourced food, and partnerships with One Woman At A Time and Be One G1, the venue emphasises sustainability.

“In everything that we do, we try and give back whatever way we can.”

Janet and Gary also got engaged on the Channel 5 show Rich Holiday Poor Holiday, so viewers can get to know them ahead of Sunday’s episode.
