CREATE YOUR OWN STORY
We can accommodate from 50 to 200 guests (dependent on set up) in our multi-functional venue, The Box, a blank canvas ready to let your imagination run wild. No two weddings will ever be the same! Weddings are available during our low season January to March and July to August.
Other dates may be considered.
FOOD + DRINK
For weddings, we can recommend previously used street food vendors or one of our onsite caterers at Fargo Village as they both know the village and have tons of experience.
We don’t organise catering* or get involved in that side of things on the day. You are welcome to bring in an external caterer providing they meet all the relevant Health & Safety, and insurance requirements.
We have an experienced bar team that will ensure fantastic service and, we can provide a wide range of welcome drinks, table drinks and full bar service to keep your guests suitably refreshed throughout the event. For this reason, we ask couples not to book mobile bars.
*We have no kitchen facilities in the venue, caterers will need to operate a temporary kitchen and bring in all the equipment, crockery, cutlery, waiting staff etc that is required.
BAR PACKAGES
Welcome Drinks: Choose from Prosecco, House Wine or soft drinks.
Table Drinks: A wide range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks can be provided for your guests to enjoy with their food.
We will do our best to cater to bespoke drinks requests so guests can enjoy their favourite tipple.

GET IN TOUCH
Thank you and your staff from the bottom of our hearts for all your help with our wedding reception on Friday. The whole day went so incredibly smooth and we had nothing but the time of our lives! Our guests all were amazed with the venue itself, and Fargos surrounding magic. I know a lot of the guests went back on the Saturday to look around properly!
Kirsty and the team at FarGo were incredibly helpful throughout the planning and execution of our big day. On the day itself, they went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly and to plan. We loved the blank canvas the space provided us with, giving us as much control as possible over the atmosphere we wanted to create. The Box was the perfect venue for our quirky wedding reception and we would highly recommend it for couples after something a bit unique and different!
We had our wedding at The Box at Fargo in 2023 and it was perfect. The venue team were so helpful, making every step of the process smooth and pressure free, and each of our ‘not so typical’ wedding ideas were met with excitement and support along the way.
We really loved having our wedding at Fargo. All of our guests had a fabulous time and we would recommend it to anyone who is interested in using the fabulous space.
FAQs
How do I find out about availability?
Please email fargo@fargovillage.co.uk
What if we want to hire the venue for longer?
If you are having a complicated or sizeable set-up and need more time for this, we can normally extend the venue hire for an extra fee. Please reserve this at the time of booking as we cannot guarantee availability later.
Who sets up for the wedding?
All setup, decorations, laying tables etc is done by you, your family, caterers etc or you may want to engage a specialist company to handle this. Our staff are not able to provide this service for you. Allow time for this when planning your day.
Where can guests park?
We have a car park right next door (Pay & Display) and a further free car park just a few minutes’ walk from the venue. We are also only 10 minutes’ walk from Coventry city centre and served by local buses. There is a taxi company located on Far Gosford St for those needing a lift home after the party.
Is Confetti allowed?
Yes, no problem, but biodegradable only please.
What sort of decorations do you allow?
It’s your day and we want you to let your imagination run wild, that said safety is important and we ask that you do not have naked flames. Candles can be enclosed in holders, storm lanterns etc. The walls can be used for decorations, displays, photos and similar provided they leave no marks. All decorative items should be removed during your de-rig period and removed from the site.
Why do you offer hire over 3 days?
As we are a blank canvas, you will need time to style the space to your vision. You can access the venue in the afternoon before the wedding, from 09.00 am on event day until 1.00 pm on the day after. This gives you and your family/friends plenty of time to set up flowers/table plans/place cards/decorations etc and take it all away again!
What happens after I book?
You get to relax for a minute! Please return your hire agreement, pay your deposit and the venue is secure. We can introduce you to our on-site caterers and other suppliers you may wish to use such as DJs and AV Technicians. We will arrange to meet you around 3 months prior to your day to start looking at the final details and then again, a couple of weeks before to finalise the numbers and timings. We are of course available to answer any questions when needed.
What facilities do you have for external caterers?
We have a dedicated area that is suitable for food preparation with white rock walls, a sink and power. There are no fridges/freezers so all food and fresh goods should be delivered on the day of the event. If you have hired in additional furniture, crockery etc this can be delivered on the setup day morning and needs to be removed at the end of the hire.
What furniture do you have?
The hire of the space includes trestle (x 25) or round tables (x 10) and a choice of black/yellow chairs or wooden benches for a more rustic look.
How do I play music?
We can play a playlist of your choice in the bar/foyer area through our system. We can provide background music through our system in the main space. If you are bringing in live entertainment or a DJ they will need to provide their own PAT-tested equipment and be responsible for this throughout the event.
