And couple Janet and Gary , from Salford, opted for the award-winning venue, complete with bow tied llamas, instead of the more traditional setting, with those behind the village venue, saying the decision highlighted a growing shift in what modern couples value – ‘moving beyond status and towards meaning, experience and impact’.

Janet said that the venue ‘just felt perfect’.

The two opted for a magical woodland theme with trees, fairy lights, candles and even an owl delivering the rings to the happy couple as they sat on white thrones.

The couple said: ““Being greeted with cakes when we first came to view it was such a lovely touch but from that moment on, everything just felt perfect.

“The customer service, the location, the style, the animals, it all just came together.”

They added: “It felt magical. The barn is such a blank canvas, which meant we could really make it our own and create something personal to us.”

The two added: “A place where your money does good”

For the couple, the venue’s values played a key role in their choice.

“It’s a really good place to put your money. If you’re going to invest in your wedding somewhere, this is where it should go,” they said, “Knowing that some of that money goes into doing good elsewhere made it feel even more worthwhile. It wasn’t just about us, it felt like part of something bigger.”

They also highlighted the importance of the venue’s ethos:

The couple said: “Celia is very involved in charity work and her B Corp certification really stood out to us. It showed us this wasn’t just a venue, it’s a business that genuinely cares.”

Founder Celia Gaze said:“ We’re seeing more couples wanting their wedding to represent who they are and what they stand for, not just how it looks,” she said.

“To be chosen over a castle was incredibly powerful. It showed that for many couples today, meaning, personality and impact matter just as much as prestige.”

She added: “At The Wellbeing Farm, we’ve always believed celebrations can be joyful, memorable and responsible at the same time. This is about creating experiences people feel proud of, not just on the day, but afterwards too.”

Those behind the farm say they work with couples to cater for all budgets. From offering extravagant three-course luxury dining experiences using their own family butchers ‘Whitehead’s Butchers, to street-food catering options, the venue prides itself in offering a truly personalised experience.
