WHO IS BEHIND WICKERWOOD FARM?
MEET JUDE - VENUE OWNER, PLANNER, STYLIST, AVID ANTIQUES COLLECTOR & "HYPE WOMAN"
"On completing a diploma in Art & Design at a young age, I moved to London to work within the Advertising industry where I commissioned photographers and illustrators for press and bill board campaigns. From there an opportunity arose for me to join the team of an award winning prop making company where I learnt skills as a prop maker and worked on projects for clients such as Harrods, Selfridges, Anya Hindmarsh and Harvey Nichols to name just a few.
My love for antiques developed through my Dad, who use to take me to our local antiques fair and a passion for interior design soon developed. I have him to thank for our prop barn being so full of beautiful treasures that are enjoyed by so many!
Throughout my career I've been so fortunate to have worked alongside some truly inspiring people and I've learnt a wealth of skills as well as developing a keen eye for detail. It's these skills along with a passion for 'what looks good' that I pour into all that I do here at Wickerwood Farm"

WHAT IS WICKERWOOD FARM?
SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST A WEDDING VENUE - ITS AN EXPERIENCE
Wickerwood Farm is an exclusive style-led, wedding & wellness business set on a slice of organic 20 acre farmland in a little corner of East Sussex.
Our sustainable ethos enables us to stand alone from other 'conveyor belt' venues by offering a limited number of dates throughout the summer months. This not only means we are doing our bit for the environment but in turn means we can dedicate the time our couples need to ensure they receive the best service possible.
With many years experience working within the wedding industry, we understand the needs and requirements of our clients from not only a visual perspective but also an organisational perspective and so by sharing our creative wedding ideas, as well as offering our clients a professional, friendly service ensures our couples a streamline experience with us.
Our services range from planning, styling and management to an eclectic collection of authentic prop and furniture pieces available to hire We also have a wealth of recommended suppliers at our finger tips enabling our couples to choose from a list of some of the best in the biz! All this is available to discuss with Jude who carefully helps couples to craft their big day.
OUR VENUE HAS TO OFFER...
A private lake dotted with water lilies and surrounded by mature woodland gives a whimsical, bohemian vibe for un-licensed blessings right on the waters edge. This spot needs to be seen to be believed. Book your viewing here
