A magnificent two meter-square northeast-facing window fills the open-planned space with natural light and sweeping countryside views. The space is framed by a spectacular old fig tree. Exuding rustic charm, it provides a gorgeous backdrop for wedding photos, a secluded spot for a “first view”, or a catch up with key family and friends before the main event. The Cottage is available as an optional add-on to your wedding package, for the night before and night of your wedding (sleeps two).

Exceptional food and drink is at the heart of the Frida's Field experience.

As a fully licensed venue, we offer a carefully considered range of beverages for your wedding day, including wines, craft beers, cider, cocktails, spirits, and non-alcoholics. Our beverage packages have been expertly curated by our Beverage Manager, ensuring each drop has an outstanding flavour profile designed to complement our food-led approach to weddings.

Frida’s Field is a small, family-owned-and-operated agri-business that was started in 2015 by husband and wife team Jeanie Wylie and Edward Rawlings. As passionate “foodies”, our love of cooking developed into an interest in growing food and a desire to live on the land to be involved in ethical food production. We are dedicated to showing that food can be grown in a way that not only tastes amazing, but also helps to actively reverse environmental degradation by using regenerative farming techniques. We have always believed that quality is at the heart of sustainability, so in everything we do we strive to deliver an incredible experience to our valued patrons. Frida’s Field hosts a select number of weddings per year. We are also open as an award-winning farm-to-table restaurant which serves bountiful set menu long lunches - all wedding couples are provided with a complimentary long lunch at Frida’s Field so they can sample our amazing team’s outstanding cooking and hospitality service.
