A bright and beautiful venue, with a number of spaces to choose from that offers the discerning couple a different setting for each stage of the day.
What we love? In addition to the gorgeous orangery, the truly rustic space at Gaynes Park has to be ‘Gather Barn’, an outdoor space perfect for guests to ‘gather’ in the evening with a drink in hand and is also licensed for Civil Ceremonies, ideal for warm summer days.
From the mother of the bride
“My daughter got married here a week ago and I just have to leave a review. From the moment we were met by Suzanne for our ‘show around’ till the very last guest had departed on the day, the way we were treated with such professionalism and attention to every little detail was exemplary.” See the full review here.
2. ANRÁN, Devon
Our first venue to feature in our ‘‘Truly Unique Venues’’ section. There are more spaces than you can imagine and they are all so unique.
What we love? The Glasshouse venue is spectacular, we love that it was once a walled garden which has been lovingly transformed. For the after, after party, ‘The Hut’ makes one of the most unique rustic spaces we’ve seen, dating back to the second world war.

An 18th century timber and stone barn in the Cotswolds which is well-loved in the wedding industry and favoured by many brides & grooms.
