Wedding anniversary party

We recently had our first wedding anniversary party at Dragon's Gate. Not only was the venue perfect for how we wanted to celebrate but it had a stunning backdrop of the lake and hills.
Cheryl was a wonderful hostess and really helped us create the event we wanted.
Thanks Cheryl and team!

Magical wedding venue

The Dragons Gate was the most perfect wedding venue we could have ever dreamt of. They were totally relaxed in letting us organise the day how we wanted it and very responsive when we had questions throughout the run up. The venue sits in the valleys of the stunning Herefordshire countryside with views that extend for miles. The barn is a beautiful rustic building with so much character and was a lovely setting for our wedding breakfast and dance floor, with the outside area perfect for people to mingle and have drinks. We were also able to make use of the wild swimming lake the morning after which was the cherry on the cake!

The day was just perfect!

We booked the Dragons Gate back in 2023 and from then until our wedding day, Cheryl was amazing!

Any questions we had were answered straight away, and nothing was too much trouble.
We were able to visit the venue mulitiple times to help make decisions along the way easier.

We got to set everything up the day before the wedding which made it more stress free!

On the day itself Cheryl and her husband were on hand for anything we needed, including the tractor ride down for me and my bridesmaids!

Not only was the venue perfect but also the lodges too! They were stunning! The view was just breathtaking! Perfect for the weekend!

We couldn't of found a more perfect venue for our day! It was truly one of the best days and we will remember it forever.

Thank you so much!

Fabulous DIY rustic barn venue

We booked The Dragons Gate for our wedding venue a little under two years ago, and had our big day this Saturday just gone. Right from the beginning both my husband and I knew this was the perfect location for us. It helped that we visited on a beautiful day and could fully appreciate the natural beauty that this place has in spades. It was utterly breathtaking!

Since booking, Cheryl has been kind, patient, and all too accommodating for us. She answered every email promptly (and at points I was sending multiple emails per week!) And she made sure we were happy with all the arrangements prior to the big day. She happily let us bring our labrador to the venue and the wedding which was so wonderful for us. The cabins were a perfect retreat after the crazy fun night we had and we really appreciated having our own space away from everyone else. Bill was also fabulous and brought us spare seats, pieces of wood, and hay bales all on short notice. You really could not ask for better people to help bring the venue to life.

Although I personally so not consider this a negative, I should point out that this might not be the venue for you if you want somebody else to do everything for you. The charm to The Dragons Gate is being able to make the venue your own, but it does mean putting in some elbow grease to get it all sorted. It took us 5 hours to set up on the Friday but I loved every second of it. And you need to pack everything down on the Sunday, but this was much quicker and easier. If you have family or friends to rope in it will be much easier for you.

We had such a blast and even though it rained on our day, I would not change a single thing about it. Thank you Cheryl and Bill, you made our day truly unforgettable!

Dream DIY wedding venue!

We can't recommend Dragon's Gate enough!! We are a fairly chilled couple, who wanted a relaxed but still beautiful wedding, and when we found Dragon's Gate it matched exactly what we had imagined our wedding would look like. Glamping/camping for guests, rolling hill views, animal friendly! And the best part, the owners (Cheryl and Bill) go above and beyond for you, and are constantly improving the venue to make it the best it could possibly be.
Our day was beyond perfect, and we were so lucky to be able to put our own stamp on it. We can't thank Cheryl and Bill enough. We felt so sad to be leaving after!
We will be back to stay for many an anniversary I'm sure.

Sophie and William

We couldn't have asked for a better venue for our most special day!! Our wedding went smoothly from start to finish. Cheryl is so hard working, accommodating, friendly and understanding of wedding dreams! It was like holding a huge party at a friend's house. She was so professional but personalised every experience and meeting we had. Cheryl and Bill have great contacts to outside suppliers that work alongside them. Communication was fab all the way through. Cheryl and Bill helped make our day even more magical! The Dragons Gate was our dream wedding venue and reached all of our expectations and more.

Wedding - July 20th 2024

We had an absolutely fantastic day at Dragons Gate. This venue is a gem nestled away in the Herefordshire countryside that more people need to know about.
The views are stunning, the barn is so cute and there is options for extending things onto grass with marquees if you so wish.
Cheryl and Bill were fantastic in their support and always easy to get hold of if we had any questions.
I would highly recommend this venue to anybody looking to put their own wedding together. You will not regret going there in the slightest!

Thank you for the most amazing day

The Dragon's Gate was the perfect venue for our wedding. If you want jaw-dropping scenery at every turn, this is your place. Cheryl and Bill were fantastic in making our wedding day happen, even with a 1 year delay and weeks of rain until the day before the wedding! Would recommend to any couples looking for an outstanding Herefordshire venue.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
