1. A Beautiful Venue That Speaks for Itself

When you choose High Billinghurst Farm, you don’t need to worry about over-the-top decorations. Our rustic barn, adorned with sparkling fairy lights, cascading hops, and grand chandeliers, sets the perfect scene. It’s a backdrop that feels warm, romantic, and ready to welcome your guests.

2. Movers & Shakers: Champagne and Cocktails

Keep things simple, fun, and elegant. Pop the champagne, pour signature cocktails, and let the drinks flow while guests mingle and celebrate. A last-minute wedding doesn’t mean cutting corners — it’s about focusing on what matters most: love, laughter, and a glass in hand!

3. Canapés, Candlelight & A Feast to Remember

Our space is made for long tables under twinkling lights, beautiful flowers, and candlelit dinners. Guests can enjoy canapés followed by a wedding breakfast that feels indulgent but relaxed. Add your own playlist for a personal touch — or book a live band or DJ if you want to turn the evening into a full-on party.
