Holly & Ciaran’s Storybook Wedding at Stanford Farm
A day full of charm, personality, and thoughtful little details.
On Saturday 23rd August 2025, Holly and Ciaran tied the knot at Stanford Farm in Shropshire, surrounded by sunshine, warm weather, and all their favourite people. It was a day full of charm, personality, and thoughtful little details that reflected the couple perfectly.
The ceremony took place in The Stables, conducted by the Shropshire Registration Service. Adding a magical touch, violinist Pete Hartley provided live music that set a beautifully romantic tone as Holly and Ciaran said their vows.
Guests were treated to a feast throughout the day. A hearty hog roast from Midland Hog Roast Co kept everyone happily full, followed by a sweet treat of homemade ice cream from Sherbet Events – perfect for the warm summer afternoon. As evening fell, ANA Catering served a full three-course meal that wowed the guests, before returning the next morning to serve up a well-earned breakfast for those still staying on site.
One of the true standout features of the day was the attention to detail in the décor. Every element reflected Holly and Ciaran’s love of books – from centrepieces and floral displays to bunting inspired by their favourite titles. Even the place names were made from individual Scrabble tiles, giving each guest a unique and personal keepsake.
Other suppliers helped make the day truly special: stunning florals by Sandra Bateman, a delicious cake created by Beth Bakes, fun lawn games provided by Games2U, and evening entertainment from DJT, who kept the dancefloor buzzing all night long. Behind the camera, Tony Hailstone Photography captured every smile, tear, and laugh – preserving the story of the day in timeless images.
Holly and Ciaran’s wedding at Stanford Farm was more than just a celebration – it was a reflection of their story, their passions, and their love. From the book-inspired décor to the sunshine-filled garden games and lively evening party, it was a day that guests will remember fondly for years to come.
