The bride knew she wanted to marry at St Mary\u2019s Church in Ardley as it was a place of family significance. But she was struggling to find the right reception venue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I couldn\u2019t find a local <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/WeddingVenues\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wedding reception<\/a> that I liked I went a little off-piste,\u201d explains Natalie. \u201dAfter various random Google searches I found a place called Manor Farm which hosts small music festivals.\u201d After speaking with the owners about her vision it was decided the beautiful old stone farmhouse with private garden field \u2013 just three minutes\u2019 walk from the church &#8211; would set the tone for her reception.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur families thought I had lost the plot slightly when I presented a field with no facilities as our perfect reception venue \u2013 but I assured them that I \u2018had the vision\u2019 and it would all come together,\u201d smiles Natalie. And indeed the venue came to life using lots of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/WeddingFlowers\/\">flowers<\/a>, plants and trees to bring the beautiful garden setting into the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/WeddingHire\/\">marquee<\/a> itself. \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/planning-tools\/\">Planning the wedding<\/a> was a lot of hard work, I definitely did not make life easy for myself,\u201d laughs Natalie. \u201cHowever our family and friends &#8211; and Andy &#8211; were very supportive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a
