It’s always excit­ing to hear about a new wed­ding venue, espe­cial­ly one that includes a repur­posed piggery!

So when the enquiry from Zoe & Gareth came in, ask­ing about Crum­ple­bury Farm Wed­ding Pho­tog­ra­phy, I was straight on to Google to check it out.

They’d men­tioned that it’s a beau­ti­ful coun­try­side venue with eco-cre­den­tials and that they want­ed their day to be as envi­ron­men­tal­ly light touch as possible. 

Well, Crum­ple­bury Farm cer­tain­ly does­n’t disappoint.

There’s also an inter­est­ing back sto­ry to the venue that start­ed with a pop up restau­rant called Green Cow Kitchen. After that became a suc­cess they decid­ed to con­vert an old pigsty, called Crum­ple­bury into a per­ma­nent fine-din­ing restaurant.

From there devel­oped the idea for build­ing what is now the wed­ding venue, a glo­ri­ous pur­pose built con­struc­tion that is flood­ed with light. There are inter­est­ing object d’art dot­ted around the build­ing which just adds to the sense that you’re in an art gallery. 

Rea­sons to choose Crum­ple­bury for your wed­ding venue:-

  • Glo­ri­ous Here­ford­shire coun­try­side (but only 12 miles from Worcester)
  • Art gallery vibes
  • Incred­i­ble food from Green Cow Kitchen

A Wedding Venue on the Whitbourne Estate

As you approach Crum­ple­bury, along a wind­ing coun­try lane, you turn a cor­ner and catch a view across the val­ley towards the stun­ning Whit­bourne Hall. The whole of the Whit­bourne Estate has been in the fam­i­ly of the own­ers of Crum­ple­bury for sev­er­al gen­er­a­tions, although the hall itself has now been sold.

I actu­al­ly pho­tographed a wed­ding at Whit­bourne Hall a few years ago and the first of the links below is to a blog about it. 

The two venues are so dif­fer­ent but equal­ly impres­sive and of course they share the same countryside.

They’re in Here­ford­shire but right on the bor­der with Worces­ter­shire and only about a 30 minute dri­ve from the city.

I‑I-I-I’m scared to death that she might be it
That the love is real, that the shoe might fit
She might just be my every­thing and beyond (beyond)

Will she have my kids? Will she be my wife?
She might just be my every­thing and beyond

Crumplebury Farm Sustainable Wedding

Zoe & Gareth were keen that their wed­ding would have as lit­tle impact on the plan­et as pos­si­ble, which influ­enced their choice of sup­pli­ers and some of the deci­sions they made.

These includ­ed:-

  • Sea­son­al food, much of it sourced locally
  • Online ‘save the dates’ and RSVPs
  • A make up artist (Sarah Rus­sell) who used eco-friend­ly and veg­an products
  • Venue dec­o­ra­tions which were hired (rather than sin­gle use) from the amaz­ing Coun­try Foxes

Some oth­er top tips from them are:-

  • To move dec­o­ra­tions around your venue as the day pro­gress­es. Eg a flo­ral dis­play that starts in your cer­e­mo­ny room and then is moved to the recep­tion room for the wed­ding breakfast.
  • Ask your florist to use what­ev­er flow­ers are in sea­son and get a love­ly surprise!
  • Con­sid­er a hon­ey­moon in the UK — Z & G went to the Scot­tish Highliands

This wed­ding was late Octo­ber with glo­ri­ous autumn sun­shine as every­one spilled outside.

Time for con­fet­ti, drinks and canapes. 

“We were absolute­ly thrilled with Nick­’s artistry on our wed­ding day at Crum­ple­bury, Worces­ter­shire! He cap­tured the most beau­ti­ful images while most peo­ple were com­plete­ly unaware they were being pho­tographed. It was so emo­tion­al look­ing through and there was one Nick cap­tured of my mum and dad look­ing at each oth­er proud­ly after dad ‘gave me away’, which made me cry (hap­py tears) — what a beau­ti­ful moment that we com­plete­ly missed at the time. 

We real­ly rec­om­mend Nick and felt from start to fin­ish like we were in very safe hands. All our guests com­ment­ed on what a love­ly guy he was. 

Thank you so much Nick”
