About Us
Oak Tree Farm Wedding Venue
Welcome to our lovely 13 acre smallholding at Oak Tree Farm nestled in the Welsh Carmarthen countryside. The site is situated in a beautiful valley and has a combination of grass and wild flower meadows, raised beds, flower borders, woodland gardens and walks, and a meandering stream.
Over the last five years the owners Cliff and Jemma have worked tirelessly to develop and nurture the smallholding into the stunning venue that it is today. The main objective was to provide a unique outdoor weddings venue that promotes ; space, luxury, panoramic views, affordability and a fun and safe environment for children and dog friendly. Thus making it an ideal and unique location for a blessing on your special day.
Wedding bookings at Oak Tree Farm are exclusive giving you the luxury of time to organise and prepare the finishing touches to the stretch tent and ceremony areas for your important day. We also welcome outside caterers on site.
The bride and groom will have a choice of 3 ceremony areas. The first is a beautiful woodland garden area with lovely flower borders near a level grassed area with an ornate wedding gazebo, surrounded by a stone balustrade (making it look very formal) which overlooks rolling hills. Alternatively there is the middle field near the stretch tent looking across the picturesque and stunning valley.
The true hidden gem of the venue is the lower woodland ceremony area, a secluded clearing with a large Oak tree as the backdrop for your marriage ceremony. The wedding arch can be used in any of these three ceremony areas. The surrounding trees can be adorned with glass baubles, tea lights or ribbon decorations, adding to the ambience. All of which can be decorated by yourselves according to your own style. We can provide comfortable chairs or straw bales for your guests and a sail awning if needed (if we get the odd shower).
The centre piece of the wedding venue is our stunning 330m2 stretch tent situated in our middle field close to the car park. This is used for the wedding breakfast, speeches, band and bar. The clear span windows allow a clear view of the surrounding countryside, even if the weather is unfavourable. On a sunny day these windows can be removed providing a spacious 'open plan' feel. The solid wood flooring, lighting, bar area, tables & chairs are provided. Adjacent to the stretch tent are the luxury toilets.
There are various options for overnight glamping in our bell tents or overnight camping for guests that have their own tents. Free firewood for the fire pits and use of two jacuzzis.
The bridal suite is set apart from the main camping area with amazing views from the luxury 6m tent, with all amenities. Alongside the bridal suite is a large Vancouver Canadian Spa hot tub with 65 jets, cascading waterfall, wireless sound system and LED lights and pop up LED speakers. Thus enabling the happy couple to relax and unwind in style.
On the day of the ceremony guests will have access to our purpose built outdoor rustic lodge shelter to retouch their make up and hair, with electric sockets & mirrors.
There is never a shortage of photo opportunities at Oak Tree Farm for the happy couple who are passionate about the great outdoors. The fantastic valley views, grass and wild flower meadows, our lovely wooden bridge and woodlands all create a unique backdrop to capture the everlasting memories of you special day. It is certainly one of Wales sort after rustic wedding venues.

A Match made in mud !
Whilst many couples can say that when they have found their ideal partner that the match was made in heaven. Cliff & I were certainly a match made in mud ! Cliff moved to Wales on a 13 acre smallholding in August 2007.
I myself lived in a small village in Devon with my two young boys, where most of the men were too old or too young. Thus making it very difficult to meet anyone. So I decided to join Muddymatches dating website and took a leap of faith in trying to find the right match. We both had a love for the outdoors, children and animals. So in October 2010 I found myself travelling to lovely Wales.
Cliff and I hit it off from the very beginning and have been together ever since. He also got on really well with my two children Kieran & Aaron. We then all moved to Wales in the summer of 2012. Our Daughter Ellie was born in September 2014. Cliff & I consider ourselves very lucky with a lot of help from Muddymatches to have found each other and a soul mate for life. A match made in mud for us was certainly better than a match made in heaven. .
An Unusual Proposal
Whilst mucking out the pigs on Christmas day 2011, Cliff to my surprise after just over a year together got down on one knee and proposed. It was probably not what most women envisage for an ideal proposal. Usually it would of involved going on holiday or out for a meal, Fortunately we both like pigs so it was certainly a funny and exciting day that I will always remember. Followed my an awesome Christmas dinner and a bottle of red wine.
A hogroast Company
For 7 years we ran a successful hog roast and catering company ,where we catered for hundreds of weddings and had the opportunity to see how wedding venues were set up. We used this information to develop our own ideal wedding venue. Not only for the delight of the guests but also for the practical aspect for incoming caterers, DJ/bands and bar.
After five years of hard work we feel we have achieved a unique, beautiful outdoor Wedding venue which combines a practical aspect and activities to enhance the special day.
