Beautiful site with responsive and friendly service
Crockstead is so so beautiful. Perfect for any celebration. Most important to me though was the can do and friendly attitude of each staff member but in particular Henry. I felt very welcome and cared for :) Highly recommended!

Spacious venue
We held our 2-day corporate summer party here back in June and it was the most incredible few days! Henry catered for everything I asked for and more. We had a beautiful lunch catching up with colleagues at a glorious outdoor bar, an outdoor cinema set up in the evening, and a sensational live band the following day! The venue is so spacious, it gave us so many opportunities to be creative and bond with one another whether it was rounders, sports day, or just a chat around the firepit.

Incredible food, genuine and friendly staff + stunning wedding in nature
Firstly the location is absolutely stunning - it's right in nature with horses in fields nearby and surrounded by woodland. My partner and I arrived early so the host took us for a tour - the decor was super tastefully done with a chic festival feel. The food was incrreedible! All freshly made and plenty provided so we went back for more later that evening. One of the bar staff even went out of her way to make me a delicious moijto mocktail! If you can, definitely book out one of the Yurts- they're so peaceful and cosy. It's probably up there with one of the best nights sleep I've ever had. All in all - if you're looking for a wedding in nature with genuine and friendly, easy-going staff and delicious food - this site is perfect!

Perfectly run wedding
The wedding I attended at Crockstead was run perfectly. Clearly a huge amount of thought and experience went into the organisation, resulting in a seamless event full of the happiest of guests. The food was perfect and the venue was beautiful, an amazing tent with brilliant decor and games all supplied as part of the wedding. Highly recommend!

Perfest setting
The perfect setting for Tibbo's Wedding. I loved the intriguing walk into the space, a real sense you're in the countryside. Well sign posted, subtle lighting, comfortable & welcoming. Positive points for the environment regarding no single use plastics & eco friendly amenities. The campsite is a wonderful reminder you're outdoors with that festival feeling..Great sunset & star gazing after sitting round the fire pit gathering thoughts of a great day...

Accommodating of ideas
The team at Crockstead were always accommodating of our ideas and encouraged us to do it our way; they helped us organise our day in the months preceding and ran through the details with us on consultation calls. The bar was well-stocked and fairly priced. Overall we had the most incredible weekend with our guests, which was largely down to the magic of the site.

Describe the best wedding that happened at Crockstead Fields - Festival Weddings?

Reuben and Bria's was especially memorable. They had Mamma Cherri as celebrant, sealing their vows with a shot of Tequila, followed by some incredible Persian catering, a fantastic live funk band and then dancing that went on till 5am that saw all of the Crockstead staff being coaxed out onto the dancefloor.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Work on icebreakers to get your day off to a great start. Once it's time for food and dancing everthing tends to run fairly smoothly, so focus on getting people comfortable and on the right track at the start of the day and you're onto a winner.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

Being festival kids it might have to be these amazing hand designed table cards one couple had, each one representing a different area at Glastonbury. The corresponding place names looked amazing and the whole setup just did the business for us.

Describe Crockstead Fields - Festival Weddings in 5 adjectives

Fun, Laid-back, Secluded, Unique, Homegrown

Where’s the best photo spot at Crockstead Fields - Festival Weddings?

Can we have 2? There is a lovely tree lined path that leads down to the venue which has seen some amazing photo shoots over the past few years, but top spot has to be the steps of our Pagoda, it's a great location to get in some fantastic group shots.

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at Crockstead Fields - Festival Weddings?

As mentioned in our previous anecdote we had Mamma Cherri as a celebrant - she featured on Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares as a larger than life soul food cafe owner. Besides that we had Peter Jukes attend a wedding recently, perhaps an obscure celeb but the editor of independant newspaper the Byline times and personally an exciting person to meet.

What’s your favourite canapé?

Sweetcorn fritters with mango and habanero salsa, bit of an unusual one, always goes down a treat.

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

One of our mac n cheese bowls with crispy onions, chopped coriander and sriracha! It's always danger zone for us staff when guests don't polish these off

What is Crockstead Fields - Festival Weddings most unique feature?

Our home built Pagoda which sits in this amazing natural amphitheatre under a cluster of Oak trees. It's one of very few outdoor set ups that is licensed for official wedding ceremonies and is the heart of our venue.

What part of your business are you most proud of?

The relationships we have built up with our couples over the years and the communication that we still have with many who we think of as friends of the site.
