Our special day
Wow what a day we had, everything was perfect from start to finish.
Lisa (wedding coordinator) went above and beyond from making myself and my bridal party feel calm, relaxed and special. The running of the whole day was smooth, professional and relaxed.
Gaynes Park was the perfect place for us , rustic, natural , amazing scenery and beautiful inside and out.
Lots of places to have photos taken and the aisle was second to none I felt like a real princess walking with my Dad to my future Husband.
Everything about Gaynes Park was worth every penny and we would do it all over again.Gaynes Park's reply:
Hi Dawn, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear you had such a perfect day at Gaynes Park and that Lisa helped you and your bridal party feel so calm and well looked after.
It sounds like that walk down the aisle with your dad was a truly magical moment, and we’re so pleased the venue and scenery provided the perfect backdrop for your celebrations. Lisa and the whole team will be thrilled to hear your kind words.
Thank you for choosing Gaynes Park. We’re so glad it was worth every penny and that you’d do it all over again! Best wishes, the Gaynes Park team -

Charlotte Sent on 19/08/2026Our perfect wedding at Gaynes Park 🌟
Where do we even begin?! Our wedding at Gaynes Park was utterly perfect and genuinely more than we ever could have imagined.
From our very first viewing with Suzanne, nothing else could really compete. She was absolutely amazing, answered every question we had and made the whole experience feel so special from the beginning. I still remember us both getting emotional when she showed us the walk down the aisle in the Walled Garden – I think that was the moment we knew Gaynes Park was the one!
During the planning process, Gaynes Park genuinely started to feel like our second home because we wanted to keep going back! Whether we were there for a meeting or simply wanted another look around, we were always made to feel so welcome. We even brought my parents back to see the venue and they fell in love with it too. Every visit was met with such kindness (and usually drinks and snacks too, which were never expected but always very appreciated!).
We had two planning meetings, one with Freddie and another with Lisa, who was our coordinator for the wedding day. Both were incredibly thorough and well organised. You can immediately tell how experienced the team are and how many weddings they have successfully brought together. They thought of things we wouldn’t even have considered and made the whole planning process feel so manageable.
We also attended the tasting evening, which I would highly recommend to any couple getting married at Gaynes Park. It gave us such a lovely glimpse of what the wedding itself would feel like. We were able to see the venue styled, look around the Coach House rooms, speak to our coordinator and meet other couples getting married around the same time. The food was incredible and we were each served different dishes so we could share and try two options from every course. One piece of advice – if you can avoid driving, do, because there are plenty of cocktails and wine to try too! 😂
We knew we wanted to use Apple Loft Cottage for the bridal party on the morning of the wedding and stay in the Coach House after the wedding, so we also spoke with Donna several times during the planning process. She was always incredibly responsive, helpful and professional.
Apple Loft was the most beautiful place to spend the morning of the wedding. Breakfast was delivered to us and there was plenty for everyone – we were even able to offer some to our hair and makeup artists, which they really appreciated. The cottage itself is gorgeous and made the perfect backdrop for getting-ready photographs. There was so much space both upstairs and downstairs, refreshments provided and even surround-sound speakers we could connect to via Bluetooth (including in the bathroom!). Every little detail had been thought of and it gave us the most perfect start to the day. The groom’s party got ready in the Coach House, which was equally lovely and looked amazing in their photographs.
And then the wedding day itself… genuinely flawless.
We got married in the Walled Garden in front of the Orangery and it honestly felt like something from a fairytale. Everything had been put together so beautifully and, despite having all of our favourite people there, the ceremony still felt wonderfully intimate. The walk down that aisle with my dad is a moment I will cherish forever.
A huge part of how perfect the day was is down to Lisa. She was absolutely incredible from beginning to end and deserves the biggest shoutout. Before I walked down the aisle, she was such a calming presence and gently reminded me of all the little things I needed to remember at a moment when emotions were running very high! Throughout the entire day, no job ever seemed too big or too small. Everything was handled with so much care and professionalism, and several of our family members and guests even commented on how wonderfully organised everything felt and how fantastic Lisa was.
What struck us most was that we simply didn’t have to think about anything. We dropped everything off at Gaynes Park a few days beforehand with very little direction needed from us, and when we saw it all brought together on the wedding day, everything was exactly where it needed to be. We never had to think about timings, logistics or what was supposed to happen next. We were able to completely switch off and enjoy every second because everything was being taken care of behind the scenes.
After the ceremony, everything continued to flow so smoothly. There were never any awkward gaps or moments where it felt as though guests were waiting around – if anything, we just wish we could have made every part last longer!
Our drinks reception was fantastic, with plenty of drinks for everyone from the beer drum alongside Pimm’s and gin fizz cocktails, as well as canapés. One little touch I particularly appreciated was that we were given our own tray of canapés as the bride and groom so we didn’t miss out while we were busy talking and having photographs taken! That sums up how attentive the team were throughout the day – we always felt incredibly well looked after and very special.
The food deserves a review of its own! Our guests commented throughout the day on how incredible it was, with several telling us it was the best wedding food they’d ever had.
A special thank you has to go to the catering team for helping us personalise our menu. Although we chose from Gaynes Park’s existing options for most of the day (and there are SO many amazing choices that choosing just one of each was incredibly difficult!), they were also wonderfully flexible in helping us incorporate some Ghanaian influence into our wedding. We added an extra canapé of kelewele and created a bespoke evening dish of jollof rice with jerk chicken and prawns. It was absolutely delicious and our guests loved it! Being able to bring that part of us into the menu made the day feel even more personal and special.
Our wedding breakfast was equally fantastic. The staff serving us were so lovely, friendly and professional, everything was served promptly and once again we had so many guests coming up to us afterwards to tell us how delicious the food had been.
Later, we headed back into the Walled Garden for cocktail hour, which was the most beautiful backdrop during golden hour. Our Aperol Spritzes and spicy margaritas went down extremely well while everyone had a chance to mingle, have another drink and enjoy the gardens. Meanwhile, the Mill Barn was seamlessly transformed ready for the evening reception, and then we could simply head back inside and party the night away!
We booked the Coach House for our closest family and friends to stay with us on the night of the wedding, which I would highly recommend. It was such a lovely way to end the day together. When we came back after the celebrations, everyone was offered tea or coffee and could also order an aperitif if they wanted. The lady looking after us at this point (whose name I unfortunately don’t know!) was so lovely and friendly and made everything feel incredibly relaxed. It gave us a chance to sit together, come down from the excitement and reflect on what had been the most amazing day.
The rooms themselves were beautiful and so comfortable – exactly what we all needed after a very full day of celebrating! The following morning, we all came together again for breakfast, with both continental and full English options available. Being able to wake up and have breakfast with some of our closest family and friends was such a lovely final part of the experience.
If you’re considering booking the Coach House for the night of your wedding, we would absolutely recommend it. It really extended that special wedding feeling into the following morning and was the perfect way to round off the most incredible day.
It is genuinely difficult to put into words how perfect our experience at Gaynes Park was. The venue itself is breathtaking, but what makes it truly special is the people behind it. Every single member of staff we interacted with – both during our many visits beforehand and on the wedding day itself – was kind, professional and incredibly good at what they do.
One final enormous thank you has to go to Lisa for everything she did, much of which I’m sure happened completely behind the scenes without us ever even knowing about it. The fact that we could simply enjoy our wedding without thinking about a single logistical detail is testament to her and the entire Gaynes Park team.
If we could do it all over again tomorrow, we genuinely would. It was more than we ever imagined our wedding could be and truly was the best day of our lives.
Thank you, Gaynes Park, for giving us the most perfect wedding day.

Hi Mr & Mrs Lartey, Thank you so much for such a heartfelt review. It means the world to hear how special your time at Gaynes Park was, from that first emotional moment in the Walled Garden right through to your wedding day.
Lisa, Suzanne, Freddie and the whole team will be absolutely thrilled to know they helped make everything feel so effortless, allowing you to simply relax and enjoy every moment. We also loved hearing about the personal touches you brought to the menu with the Ghanaian flavours. It sounds like such a beautiful reflection of you both.
It was a real pleasure to be part of your day, and we’re so pleased Gaynes Park felt like a second home along the way. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness together. Best wishes, the Gaynes Park team -

Joseph Sent on 14/08/2026Summer wedding
Myself and my wife got married at Gaynes park in August and we cannot recommend it enough. Victoria was looking after our wedding and she was fantastic. Very responsive, great at recommending ideas if requested and she went over and above for us. We both agree that the day could not have gone any better and would love to return as a guest one day. The outside ceremony was very intimate with the seats being set out so that everyone is close enough to feel apart of the moment. Food was great and bar was always well managed.Gaynes Park's reply:
Hi Joseph, Thank you so much for your lovely words. We’re delighted to hear you had such a wonderful wedding day at Gaynes Park and that Victoria helped make everything feel so seamless. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind thanks to her. It would be fantastic to welcome you both back as guests one day! Best wishes, the Gaynes Park team -

We honestly could not have chosen a more perfect venue for our wedding day.
From the moment we first viewed Gaynes Park right through to the big day itself, the team were incredible. They were professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our day everything we dreamed it would be.
Gaynes Park itself is absolutely stunning and provided the most beautiful backdrop for our ceremony and celebrations. So many of our guests commented on how amazing everything looked and how smoothly the day ran.
Planning a wedding can be stressful, but our wedding co ordinaries Victoria made the whole process feel so much easier. Nothing was too much trouble for Victoria and the team, and we felt completely supported every step of the way.
If you’re looking for a wedding venue that is beautiful, well-organised, and filled with people who truly care, we cannot recommend Gaynes Park highly enough. Thank you for giving us the most incredible day of our lives.Gaynes Park's reply:
Hi Kathryn, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are absolutely delighted that Gaynes Park was the perfect venue for your wedding day and that your experience exceeded expectations from start to finish.
Your kind words about Victoria and the team mean so much, and we’ll be sure to share your feedback with them. Knowing that you felt supported throughout the planning process and were able to relax and enjoy every moment of your special day is exactly what we strive for.
Thank you for choosing Gaynes Park to celebrate such an important occasion. We wish you both a lifetime of happiness and wonderful memories together. Best wishes, the Gaynes Park team -

Lauren Sent on 05/05/2026You will pay for services they don’t provide on the day
Unfortunately I am writing a bad review as treatment by the stuff on our wedding day cannot be overlooked. Due to unforeseen circumstances our venue wedding coordinator was unable to turn up on our wedding day. I understand situations like this cannot be helped but what followed was disorder, rudeness from the staff, mistreatment of our property and a conscious non delivery on the services of we paid for.
We have been extremely reasonable in our communication to the venue regarding multiple instances on the day. Our only request was we were paid back £305 for the main meals not served to our guests. The venues argument is they didn’t know they needed to on the day (despite our request noted in writing) and the groom should have come up and told them (on his wedding day?). In correspondence since and they admitted wrong doing to many instances but still refused a refund for services not provided that we literally paid for.
Book Gaynes park if you want a beautiful wedding venue, but don’t take for granted the fact you could be unfortunate like us. Please proceed with caution. In my opinion you can find another beautiful venue out there with helpful staff. Risking your wedding day and making it even more stressful is not worth the risk.
(If they suggest they are reaching out to us to resolve, this is untrue. We are now at the stage of no resolution despite being in communication with relevant parties)Gaynes Park's reply:
Hi Lauren, Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to read your positive comments about Gaynes Park itself, the quality of the food and service, and the support Natasha provided on the day. However, we are truly sorry to hear that aspects of your catering experience did not meet your expectations.
Following your wedding, and again after your review, we remained in direct correspondence with you to fully understand your concerns and carried out a detailed review. We sought to resolve your concerns and did also offer a goodwill gesture in the hope of reaching a resolution, which we appreciate you chose not to accept.
Whilst we recognise that certain aspects of the day did not align fully with your expectations, our findings indicated that the catering was delivered in line with the contractual arrangements, including additional wine served during the day.
We will continue to reflect on your feedback with our team and genuinely wish you both all the very best for the future. Best wishes, the Gaynes Park team
