Announcing 'Village Farm Events'

Village Farm Marquees • Sep 15, 2017

We are teaming up with former Rise Hall events guru Helen Davies to offer a unique all-round event-planning service

And we are absolutely bursting with anticipation about this one!

After four years building the reputation of the famous Rise Hall, in East Yorkshire, alongside TV property star Sarah Beeny, Helen has decided to join us. Together, we are proud to launch ‘Village Farm Events – with Helen Davies’.

Our mission will be to create and deliver unforgettable experiences for people planning everything from corporate events to weddings, birthday parties and every other type of special occasion.

The partnership will mean that our customers will now benefit from even more event-planning advice, from supplier recommendations to creative concept ideas. An upgrade to full event planning is also available, with or without one of our marquees.

This partnership represents a fantastic new chapter for both Helen and us. We’re delighted to say that Village Farm Marquees is growing faster than ever, as well as being shortlisted in the Outstanding Customer Service category of the North of England Wedding Awards. Collaborating with Helen, who is one of the most sought-after event planners in the UK, marks the next, natural stage in our evolution.

We share the same commitment to delivering attention to detail, quality service and good humoured, personalised client care that is second-to-none.

Until recently, Helen was Wedding Co-ordinator and Manager of Rise Hall, which was bought by TV property icon Sarah in 2001 and renovated in a blaze of publicity. Helen established its place as an award-winning venue and increased its annual list of weddings from 17 to 40.

Our new offering means that everyone who books an event with us will also benefit from Helen’s event planning flair and expertise.

She had already become well-known for delivering exquisite and memorable events with her previous business, ‘The Wedding Concierge’, when she was approached by Sarah in 2013 and asked to take over the running of Rise Hall. You can read more about that experience and her journey to this point in our blog .

Helen said: “I’m extremely proud of the work I did at Rise Hall, and relished every minute of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It was not only my place of work but also my home, and it was wonderful to live in such a beautiful setting, surrounded by idyllic countryside.”

“However, having established its reputation as a venue of choice, now feels like the right time to spread my wings and get involved in yet another amazing venture.

“I am so proud to be affiliated with Village Farm Marquees, and confident that together we’ll deliver the ultimate customer experience.”

We’re hugely admiring of Helen’s work and, more importantly still, we get on incredibly well as people, sharing the same values and goals. So, when she let us know she was moving on from Rise and was looking for a new mission, the decision didn’t take much thinking about!

Offering a rounded event planning service is something we’ve done in a small selection of cases, and is something we've been considering expanding on for some time.

To have the opportunity to do so in collaboration with Helen Davies just seems, quite honestly, meant to be.

As everyone knows, the coronavirus pandemic has sadly wreaked havoc on people’s lives in many different ways, including by disrupting major personal events such as weddings.

So in the end it was fourth time lucky for the North Ferriby couple, who overcame all the hurdles to finally become man and wife on August 7, 2021. And what a day it was!
