What is not included?


Structure:

We are proud to be the preferred supplier at The Lakeside but you are free to choose a different supplier should you wish. This is something that you will need to take the lead on yourselves.


The Lakeside offers help with all aspects of planning a wonderful event, you just need to be aware that if you wish to add things which are not included in the packages these will carry an extra cost. This is the same at any venue though and The Lakeside offers great value for their existing packages.


Is it exclusive use?


Yes, you have exclusive use and you get the added benefit of using the wider farm for photography purposes.





What we love about The Lakeside:


  • Stunning setting on the waterfront meadows, with unrestricted views across the lake.

  • A 3 acre meadow provides sufficient space for your structures and allows for camping on site.

  • A top class team behind all aspects to make sure your event runs without a hitch.

  • The benefit of amazing in house food offering exclusive food and drinks packages.

  • A beautiful area by the jetty which is perfect to hold a celebrant led ceremony.

  • Outstanding quality food offer.

  • Pet friendly, if you want your pets to be part of your day they are welcome along!

  • The option for "stayovers" along with the possibility to add all the extras you may want to go with that - like breakfast and showers for guests.

  • The luxury of a "stayover" option at The Sun Inn in Felmersham, less than a mile away.

A stunning rural Bedfordshire Wedding Venue.


This venue is really dear to us, the team we work with there have become great friends. Being so local to us means it also reduces our carbon footprint which is extremely important to us and we know that The Lakeside at Wild Berry Farm hold a similar ethos. In an ideal world all our jobs would be so close. We count ourselves very lucky to be their preferred marquee supplier.
