Oaks Farm – A Family-Run Country Wedding Venue, Just 10 Miles from London
Oaks Farm is a boutique wedding venue nestled in the Shirley Hills on the Surrey–Kent border. Just 10 miles from central London, it feels a world away: our family country home, with our getting ready room, barn & orangery, honeymoon cottage, cottage gardens, orchard and lily pond are yours exclusively for the day.
For 27 years we have welcomed couples to Oaks Farm, and we still run every wedding ourselves. Katie and John will be with you from your first visit to your last dance, answering your questions and helping you create a day that feels truly yours.
CLEAR PACKAGES, REAL FLEXIBILITY
Our packages bring together everything you need, so you can relax and enjoy the run-up to your big day with a clear understanding of your total cost. Within your package, the choices are yours:
- Your caterer: choose our in-house caterer 10 Flavours, or one of our specialist caterers, Spice Village or Burrell Catering, for authentic Indian, Pakistani, Caribbean or African cuisine.
- Your drinks: add the Oaks Farm Drinks Package, or bring your own drinks with no corkage charge.
You don't need to decide on your drinks when you book. We'll ask for your choice 2 months before your wedding, so you can decide once your plans have taken shape.
YOUR DAY AT OAKS FARM
Getting Ready
Begin your day in one of our two luxury boutique getting-ready rooms, Oaks Farm Cottage and Orchard Cottage, where those first special moments can be captured.
Ceremonies
Choose from three beautiful settings, each accommodating up to 100 guests:
- The Stable Barn: our converted stables offer an intimate indoor setting, whatever the weather.
- Lily Pond Lawn: say your vows beneath our wisteria-covered arbour beside our lily pond.
- Walled Country Garden: marry under our weeping willow, surrounded by our cottage gardens.
If you'd prefer a traditional church ceremony, the beautiful St John the Evangelist church is just a six-minute drive away.
Drinks Reception
In the warmer months, your guests can mingle in the cottage gardens with drinks and canapés. At other times of year, the reception moves to the Orangery and its surrounding terrace.
The Wedding Breakfast
Our traditional Barn creates an intimate atmosphere for up to 100 guests. For smaller weddings, the light and airy Orangery seats up to 70 guests, with views across the cottage gardens.
Drinks – The Choice Is Yours
Add the Oaks Farm Drinks Package and we'll take care of it all: reception drinks, half a bottle of wine per person with your meal, and sparkling wine for your toast. Choose from our traditional wine menu, our alcohol-free wines, or our Sparkling Shloer Collection, which is perfect for couples planning an alcohol-free celebration.
Alternatively, bring your own drinks with no corkage charge. Your caterer will serve them to your guests from the end of your ceremony until the end of your meal.
Evening Reception
The Barn is transformed for the evening so you and your guests can dance the night away, with plenty of seating for weary feet. A wide range of evening food is available, while The Orchard Bar Company keeps the drinks flowing. Your guest numbers can rise to 150 for the evening party.
Your Wedding Night
Orchard Cottage, nestled in our orchard, is the perfect secluded place to slip away to after a full day's celebration.

Meet the team
Delia & Colin Hart are the proud owners of Oaks Farm. They established their wedding venue after hosting a friend's daughter's wedding in 1996 and have built its success on strong family values. Although most of their time is now taken up chasing their 7 grandchildren around! You can be assured of a very warm welcome from them.
Katie joined the family business in 2004 and has been at the heart of its continued success ever since. Her finely honed organisational skills (after raising three children!), eye for detail and experience make Katie a superb collaborator and reassuring presence for our couples. Katie also tied to knot at Oaks Farm in 2005.
John is the youngest of the Hart children and joined the business in 2015 when he retired from professional sport. John loves helping our couples bring together their special day through his eye for detail and his organisational skills to bring everything together, which he attributes to raising twin boys! John got married at Oaks Farm in 2007.
