Alcott Weddings & Events

After 2 postponements we finally had our wedding at Alcott Weddings and Events venue at the end of June and we honestly couldn’t have picked a better venue! From the very beginning Lucy was so friendly, helpful and, armed with a huge list of suppliers, she made the daunting task of planning a wedding seem easy. We were originally due to get married in June 2020 but we unfortunately had to postpone due to covid, I honestly think we might have ended up cancelling if it wasn’t for Lucy. I know of people who had also hoped to get married that year who lost huge deposits and had a lot of stress but Lucy was on hand for support and to contact our supplies and get a new date agreed not only once but twice therefore taking most of the stress off us.
When our day finally came around it went perfectly, special thank to you Chris who aside from setting up our beautiful lighting, sound system and generator, kept everything running on the day - we would have been lost without you!
I cannot recommend Alcott, Lucy and Chris enough, it’s a beautiful venue and if you are looking for something a little different to host your big day it’s ideal.

Alcott Farm was a brilliant place to host our wedding reception. Tipi’s were brilliant set a great mood for the day.
Lucy (manager) was accommodating throughout and pointed us in the direction of a number of companies to help make our day special at the farm.
Each company had worked at the farm previously and knew how each of them worked which made the day work as a whole. Chris the events managers was really good leading up to big day and Nick helped out on the day with guiding catering and DJ and Games people when needed. Absolute star.
Skyline catering were brilliant and delivered too notch food.

Alcott is THE MOST STUNNING VENUE for any event...
We just had our wedding there last weekend and it was off the charts GOOOOOOD! The organisers and planners were so kind helpful and amazing it made it a breeze. And every single guest of our 185 fedback that it was quite literally the most spectacular setting they'd ever seen.
Massive thanks to Lucy and all the team for everything. You're in our hearts and lives forever now xxx

We had already decided that we wanted a festival themed wedding, so when we walked onto the field and saw it and the surroundings for the first time, we knew this was the place to build the wedding we had envisaged.
Of course, having the right people behind this place is crucial to making your dream day come true, so meeting Lucy we got the feeling that this would not be a problem, and it was not. Lucy and her team have the perfect mixture of experience, professionalism and approach ability to deliver and much more.
Lucy has many suppliers that she has worked with over the years, that you will find extremely helpful, as you start to shape the necessary elements of your wedding.
Working with Lucy and her team has been brilliant, none more so than the day itself, where all that was needed was taken care of. I could not recommend Lucy and Alcott enough. The location the atmosphere and the day we had was outstanding and will last forever in our hearts and minds of not just ourselves but also our guests. Thank you Alcott Farm!

We wanted a relaxed festival feeling wedding and as soon as we met Lucy and saw the field we were completely sold on it. It’s beautiful and you feel like you’re so far away from Birmingham (even though it’s conveniently close). Lucy and her suppliers were all absolutely amazing and the right balance of organised and laid back. We had so many people say it was the best wedding they’d been to- the food , the tipi, the venue, the toilets were all fantastic- we wouldn’t have changed anything. The events manager on the day, nick, was also incredible, anything we needed he was there to help us. We couldn’t recommend Alcott enough!

Lucy at Alcott saved our wedding!We had planned a whole festival themed wedding outdoors with marquees, fairground games, pizzas, etc. Then, 6 months before the wedding, we found out that we couldn’t use the field that we had planned it all on!Luckily, I found Alcott Wedding & Events and emailed Lucy straight away, and our date was available! Lucy was so understanding and helpful throughout the whole process of moving our whole wedding to a different venue. She really reassured both of us that it was going to be an amazing day! The site is absolutely beautiful! In a lot of ways we are so glad that the disaster happened because Alcott was so much better than where we had planned the day before – it just wouldn’t have been the same.
Lucy worked closely with all of the suppliers that we had hired, and recommended some of her own trusted ones for things we hadn’t yet sorted. It all worked out perfectly, all of the suppliers set up quickly and easily, which let us get on with the decorating!
They also have loads of facilities at Alcott which are all beautiful – some of our groomsmen stayed in the Bed & Breakfast, which was super convenient as they only had to walk across a field at the end of the night. We can’t wait to see the photos because we know the scenery was so lovely that they will look gorgeous!
Thank you Lucy!!

Well where do we start……. A huge thank you for making our day so special. We cannot thank you enough for all your hard work, right from our very first meeting you were so organised, friendly and helpful. You thought of everything and guided us through the whole process. You met with us regularly and helped us keep on track when sometimes we dropped off a cliff with our organisation. We never realised when we first started on our wedding journey how much would be involved, and we could never have done it without you. You not only gave us recommendations but also helped us with bar services, security, a Tens licence and our order of the day. You met with all our big suppliers and helped to guide the process during every meeting, which without you we would have felt totally out of our depth.
On the day your input was priceless, Paul could not speak highly enough of you that morning, you supported and guided all of our suppliers and as the forecast was rain we were unable to put out some of the things such as gift box, guest book etc however you did this all for him and gave him the reassurance and confidence to leave that morning knowing it was all in safe hands. During the reception you were that good we hardly noticed you seamlessly organising everyone including us and helping the ushers to organise our guests. All the guests commented on how professional you were and how the day ran like clockwork. Even our photographer (who has done many weddings) asked for your details so that they could recommend you to others, and I think that speaks volumes.
We cannot honestly put into words how grateful and lucky we were to have found you. You made our day so calm, organised and without you we would never have been able to create our dream wedding.
If you ever need anything from us, you know we are only on the other end of the phone and will always recommend you to others. We would be happy to speak to any potential brides or grooms who are looking to use your services, As I know they would have an amazing day with you by their side.
Thank you again so much.
All our love
Sarah, Paul and Louis (woof woof)

Going to start with the amazing venue; we had the most amazing day. Two years in the planning with the calmest, friendliest, and the most organised person in charge. We got to live out the crazy vision we had planned. Festivals all over the country cancelled. Not our Wedfest! With an amazing team we went ahead and lived our dream. Cutting, sucking and siphoning rain water with dad”s hose pipes, constant tipi checks, we had our dream day. With a surprise pizza delivery to our lodge to end our night.. Nothing is too much to ask even in a week of full bridezilla mode.
Throughout 2 days of severe weather warnings, we lived our dream and started married life, without a hitch. Complete calmness, professionalism and friendliness. The wind did not curtail our day and we loved every second of it. Guests have commented about how unique and perfect it was. We love love loved it.
Thank you Lucy and the team, we are forever indebted to you.

Alcott Farm was the first and only venue we looked at before booking our big day! There are lots of amazing things about Lucy and this beautiful venue, but one of the best is that Alcott Weddings gives you a blank canvas to create your perfect day. Lucy is super organised and thinks of absolutely everything, which was a huge help in putting everything together. She has several fabulous trusted suppliers to choose from and plenty of contacts for anything you might want to add to your day. It was ideal to have a choice of suppliers that all came highly recommended, without being too restricted.
Lucy was there every step of the way to help us plan our day and it couldn’t have gone more perfectly. We’re so glad we chose Alcott Farm and we’d highly recommend it to anyone who wants a personalised wedding day in a stunning setting with spot-on suppliers who really know their stuff. Thanks so much Lucy and everyone in the Alcott Weddings team!
