Folly Farm Centre offers a wonderful blend of rustic charm and countryside beauty, making it a sought-after venue for couples wanting something special and unique. Naomi and Nick’s wedding perfectly showcased how this venue can host both intimate and lively celebrations. Their day was carefully crafted to include a private ceremony surrounded by close family in the woods, followed by a larger gathering with friends - all set against the stunning backdrop that Folly Farm provides.

Intimate Woods Ceremony with Close Family

Naomi and Nick chose to start their wedding day with a private ceremony in the woods at Folly Farm, inviting only their immediate family. This smaller, more personal gathering allowed them to focus on their vows in a serene and natural setting, free from distractions. The peaceful woodland surroundings created a genuinely heartfelt atmosphere, and the intimacy of the moment really set the tone for the day ahead.

First Look Before the Woods Ceremony

Before walking down the aisle, Naomi and Nick shared a quiet first look away from their guests. This moment gave them the chance to connect privately, capture some honest emotions, and settle any nerves. First looks like these are increasingly popular, as they often lead to relaxed and natural photos that truly reflect the couple’s relationship.
