Paul and Jackie - July 2026
We came across Gilbert Whites House & Gardens on this site and after reading the reviews, it was the first venue on our list. After our first visit the decision was made there and then, we didn't need to look any further. Even in December, the venue looked stunning and it wasn't difficult to picture what it would look like in mid-summer. The reality was even better than we imagined.
From that point on, we were guided, by Jamie, through the process of planning our wedding. It was stress free and a lot of fun. Jamie accommodated us with all of our questions and with such patience as we measured up and began the process of creating a day to remember. Having time to set up the day before added to the feeling of community with friends and family joining in. The day itself was simply magical, there are no other words!! All of our guests commented on what an amazing day it was in a beautiful, idyllic and unspoilt setting. Jamie and John, from Lemonstone Caterers and their teams worked seamlessly throughout the day, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. If you are looking for an intimate wedding in a stunning location this is the place to choose. -

We had our wedding at Gilbert White’s on the 6th of September 2025, it was just the perfect day and an absolutely amazing venue! We had changes in our wedding contact but they made sure all our information was passed on and everything ran smoothly, Jamie was are coordinator for our big day and was incredible! He was consistently responsive, helpful, friendly and helped make our day run smoothly.
The location itself is stunning, we had our ceremony in a little woodland/copse in the main field and our reception and evening in the barn, great to be able to personalise it to exactly how you want. It was great to be able to come the Friday before to set everything up and we also appreciated that there was just one straightforward fee with no hidden costs.
Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better day. Great venue, great team, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Highly recommend!

The perfect summer countryside wedding
I would recommend Gilbert White’s to anyone and everyone. The venue is so special - I grew up nearby and when I showed my partner he was immediately sold. It was just beautiful! The barn is perfect - the on-site kitchen helped with the catering bill (!) and the interior worked so well for the look we wanted. The wildflower meadow is breathtaking. Jamie went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect - he was always prompt in replying, friendly, super flexible and professional. Our wedding was absolutely perfect, I wouldn’t have changed a thing. -

A dream come true, the most beautiful day
Gilbert Whites House is such a special venue, so peaceful and incredibly beautiful. We had the most amazing day, we felt so lucky to be married outside in the meadow with our family and friends with flowers all around and birds singing.
Jamie the event manager was so helpful and made the day run perfectly in such a calm and professional way along with his team. It was so special to be able to set up and decorate the afternoon before making it personal and beautiful for our guests.
We had such a happy, relaxed and memorable day. Perfect. -

We got married here two weeks ago now and can not stop thinking about how perfect the day was ! It was completely stress free for both of us as all the staff there were amazing ! We are still being told by all our guests how beautiful the venue is and how relaxed they felt just being there ! We could not recommend Gilbert Whites house more if we wanted to ! -
