I’m not really sure words can do justice to the incredible time we have had. From our first phone call to the night of the wedding, your compassion, joy and kindness have been exceptional. We had a vision, but without you and your stunning venue, we never could have had the wedding of our dreams. We will never, ever, forget this magical place, and the wedding elves that are you two! The dogs also had the best time ever and we think life will always have a bit more colour in it thanks to you.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you,

‘Me and my husband waited over two years to have our wedding reception at Green Acres. It was totally worth the wait. The whole weekend was exactly what we wanted: relaxed, rustic, laid back and totally us. All of our guests commented on how much fun they had, and many even said it was the best they had been to.

Fiona and Gerry are wonderful, as is their home. They are just the nicest people, nothing was too much. Their enthusiasm and positive energy is infectious and they ensured that everything was in hand. If you are after something a little different to your bog standard wedding, with a chilled out, earthy, green vibe, then this is the place! We can’t wait to visit again.

From the moment we met Fiona and Gerry we knew Greenacres was the perfect spot for our special day! The relaxed, positive environment is so apparent as soon as you pull up! Our day ran so smoothly with no worries about anything. Fiona and Gerry had it all under control. The bar area was one of our fave spots of the weekend, the help yourself Vibe went down fab (we supplied our own alcohol) with our friends and family taking it in turns to play barman/maid which was rather entertaining the later it got. The food that was arranged was absolutely perfect and complimented the day so well! The weekend we spent at Greenacres is completely unforgettable, we cannot wait to go again and party, laugh, reminisce with Fiona and Gerry. We thank you both from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding the most unforgettable weekend!

A perfect weekend filled with sun and laughter. Music, jugglers and circus skills, drumming, dancing, jamming sessions, Lebanese food platters, and plenty of Budweiser! What more could we ask for!

Hope you have both recovered!

Dear Fiona and Gerry, from the moment we met you at Ridge farm we knew we had found somewhere very special. You couldn’t ask for a more beautiful setting and with the loveliest of people running things. Everything was so stress free and so well thought out. We can’t thank you enough for all of your help in creating the ceremony we dreamed of.

The Mexican Swan-Fest Fiesta Wedding!

Dearest Fiona and Gerry. Our wedding will go down as one of the best days of our lives. You were so supportive, flexible and understanding with us, giving us free reign to transform every inch of your beautiful home into our Mexian Wonderland. We were blown away by the natural beauty of your farm. You helped us make the planning process go so effortlessly, and if ever we had a wobble, you were always there to pick up the pieces and put us back on track. Thank you for sharing the laughter and tequila with us!

Love always, Alex and Graeme

Wowzers!  Thanks so much to Fiona and Gerry.  My 40th birthday party weekend was unforgettable.  It was everything I could have hoped for and more.  An amazing venue, wonderful people and you two were the cherry on top!  Thanks for everything.  It was super special.

Gerry and Fiona – We had an idea of what would be our perfect wedding.  That idea was delivered….  and we are 100% sure that there is no where else this could have happened !  You provided excellent service and ideas en route to our wedding day.  No stress and no fuss, just fun in the best way possible.  We, our family and guests, felt so at home, and none of us wanted to leave.  Thank you for the best weekend of our lives !!!

Love Dan and Sam (Mr and Mrs Watts !)



To Gerry and Fio,

We are leaving your beautiful farm elated.  We knew it would be wonderful but it surpassed even our expectations.  Your heart and soul is everywhere we looked.  Added to the fact that the sun shone and everyone we loved fell in love with the place meant that there truly could not have been a better weekend.  We will never forget our time here.  We can’t thank you enough.

With so much love

Wedstock!! The moment we met the GreenAcres “dream team” we knew that you were our kinda people! It’s been an absolute joy planning the wedding due to the endless enthusiasm, positivity, shared vision, creativity and generosity of spirit. In just 10 months we’ve planned and delivered an event which will stand in the collective memory as a truly unique and joyous occasion. For Steve and I, the cliche of ‘happiest day of our lives’ couldn’t ring truer. Ridge Farm is an extraordinarily beautiful place run by extraordinarily beautiful people. THANK YOU !!

Kathryn and Steve


Dear Fio and Gerry

Lots of love from Jo and Rhea Cousins xxx  ♥♥♥


Dear Fiona and Gerry, Thank you so much for all your help in creating our dream festival themed wedding. We have had a truly fabulous time and now have new found friends. We couldn’t have asked for a better place and such wonderful people to help us plan and create our special day. It was perfect from start to finish.

Lots of love Lisa and Mike


GreenAcres was perfect for us.  As soon as we walked into the amazing barn we knew that we’d found the right place.  Fiona and Gerry thought of absolutely everything and made our wedding magical.  Thank you so much for creating our special day which we’ll always remember.

Ali and Sarah (Mrs and Mrs Johns!)


Thank you so much for everything you have done for us and our families and friends.  It has been the wedding weekend of our dreams!  You have the most amazing place here, it has been a total joy to spend time here, we cannot imagine saying our vows and getting married anywhere else.  The bell tents are utterly gorgeous and so comfortable.  But more than this, more than the tents, the amazing views and the great organisation – the warmth of you both and the extraordinary lengths you went to to ensure our day was magical was above and beyond.  You are wonderful people and we are so thankful for everything.

All our love Rachael and Macca


Dear Fiona and Gerry –  Thank you so much for such an amazing wedding.  We could never have imagined it would have been so perfect.  Your venue is amazing and the image of everyone gathered around the fire with the bar, marquee and oak tree lit up and decorated, was so magical and will stay with us for life.  You have both been such superstars.  We never believed we would find people who would constantly just say “yes no problem” to all our crazy ideas.  Everything was perfect, we will never forget a thing xxxxx

Matt and Katie


What a wonderful wedding celebration we had. It was fun from the arrival of Kate and Suzanne on a tandem to the lighting of the fire pit at the end of a truly lovely day.  Fiona and her team are amazing, ever present to help and able to keep the fun going all the time… I never saw them without smiles on their faces throughout the 12 hours.  That takes some doing !  Do have your celebrations at GreenAcres, you won’t be disappointed.

“We held our wedding reception at Ridge Farm on the 25th May 2013. We chose to do so because we didn’t want a standard reception – we wanted a venue that would allow our guests, and us, to really relax and enjoy the day. And that’s what we got; a wonderful, two day party for 200 guests, many of whom said it was the best wedding they’d ever been to.  The location is lovely, with wonderful views and plenty of space, even for the most ambitious reception (and ours was  ambitious). Fiona and Gerry organised the lot, from the marquee to the caterers to the posh loos and it all ran like clockwork.”

“Ridge Farm was a dream wedding location! We all gathered around under the oak tree for the blessing which was incredibly special, surrounded by beautiful green fields and trees as far as the eye can see. All our guests were blown away by its beauty.

Fiona and Gerry organised everything so well, worked so hard and were always so enthusiastic and easy to deal with. They met all our requests without a hitch, from marquees to child entertainers, from hog roasts to our music stage. Thank you both so much for the day and the memories!”

Claire and Mat


Fiona and Gerry could not have made our day more wonderful.  We had been let down at another venue so were feeling pretty annoyed and desperate about the whole thing and GreenAcres totally came to our rescue helping us both mentally and physically!    They made our wedding day so special with their cheerful and positive approach – nothing was too much for them.  The venue is amazing with the most gorgeous views all round !  So beautiful – and we loved the sheep!  Sitting around the firepit later on was the icing on the cake.   Thank you so much GreenAcres !

“I was involved with the ‘Circus Revels’ event which Fiona Cathcart organised for our parish. Her organisation and co-operation with others involved was exemplary. I would not hesitate to invite her to spearhead another such event.”
