“we do weddings because we love people”

1. EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE
   At Folkerton Mill, we believe in unforgettable events with exceptional and personalised service.

2. AN EMPOWERING SPACE FOR EVERYONE

We are a fiercely inclusive venue where everyone is welcome. We avoid gendered language or making assumptions about relationships, roles or identities until these have been confirmed by to-be-weds. We offer a safe and empowering space for everyone to celebrate their love.

3. WE DO SUSTAINABILITY
We have made a commitment to make conscious choices about the things that are within our control, and lead by example in our industry. Our sustainability ethos is something that is often important to our clients, but our focus around sustainability is about the way we run our business, and we love and welcome all weddings.
