distinguishedly different!

Experience the tranquillity of the countryside while being only three miles away from the bustling Colchester High Street. Battleswick Farm is a distinct wedding venue that distinguishes itself from others in the industry. It is a family-owned and operated enterprise, overseen by Aaron and Mandy – a husband-and-wife team with over two decades of experience in the global wedding and events industry. To get a glimpse of their high-caliber events and designs, we suggest perusing the past events gallery of Mango Pie, which is also owned by the same family.

 

Battleswick Farm is a stunning 500-year-old farm that exudes an undeniable charm and character. The serene and tranquil ambiance can be felt in every corner of the property, which spans over five acres of land. As a couple, you’ll have the privilege to utilise the entire farm, which includes multiple buildings. However, with so many spaces available, you might find it challenging to decide how to best make use of them.

How will the day flow?

You tell us. We are not going to tell you what time guests must arrive by, where to get married, to eat and who to book. We are happy to advise on how much time you should allow for different elements of the day, but it’s your day, you tell us how you see your day unfolding. 

Which suppliers would you recommend?

We have no affiliations with any companies, and don’t charge any commission. Our supplier’s list is organised into three categories to assist you with your search. Any supplier we place in the recommended list is because we have seen their work, had positive feedback and trust the people behind the company. It is a working document and revised monthly. This is not an exhausted list, and you are free to book alternative suppliers. 

Where can I get married legally?

We have three areas licensed for civil ceremonies. The Threshing Barn, Haybarn and under the Chestnut Tree. Each area is licensed for up to 150 guests however if you have more guests, please discuss with us.
