We do not recommend Jades Flower Design…read more Beverley did our flowers for our wedding day. It was agreed, the flowers would be dropped at our houses by a certain time. Due to miscommunication on Jades Flowers side, Flowers were taken to the venue causing the flowers to be taken to the houses 1.5 hours late. This then meant that we had no photos at home with flowers. Realising the flowers were going to be late, we contacted Beverley only to be confronted quite rudely. Also we ordered artificial blossom flowers in a particular colour (bright pink) for 8 vases for our wedding reception. When we turned up on the day, the artificial blossom flowers were in a very light pink which was not what we ordered. The light pink did not go with our other table decorations and the white decorated room that we was in looked very pale and dull. Beverley had numerous opportunities to explain to us that she was unable to get what we had ordered however, didn't feel the need to tell us. We also ordered magnets for the mums' buttonholes which wasn't delivered, aswell as another buttonhole which also wasn't delivered to the bridal party at home. Due to the lateness of the agreed time for the flower delivery on the day of the wedding, we didn't have any time for bridesmaids to put the flowers in their hair. During the lead up to the Wedding, we were noticing issues with our quote which was raised to Beverley. We would not recommend this company and wouldn't want anyone to experience what we experienced on a once in lifetime Wedding Day.

Rave rave rave. Obviously I'm going to be biased, I got married here but take into account this won…read moreWedding Venue of the Year people. I adore this place and all the staff. Fell in love with it straight away. I'll even tell you a little secret...I knew instantly I had to marry here because of two, slightly embarrassing reasons. Here goes. One, there is a fairy lit bandstand/gazebo in the gardens...which is VERY Twilight (Bella and Edward) prom scene. Secondly. Ahem. They had the chairs I liked/wanted...which are the chairs the characters in tv show O.C. always used to use when they had their formal parties. Fact. I'm not ashamed. Lol. The venue is just perfect. They add to it all the time with cool new ideas and findings. Its set in Epping, complete with London Skyline views (they now even have a lookout for wedding photos!!) There's the orangery for ceremonies, which can be set up so you have a garden 'aisle'!! I did that and it is honestly the happiest, most beautiful memory of my life (so far). The walled gardens are well loved, beautiful and just floral picture perfectness. There's the Apple Loft where the couple can stay/bride can get ready which is too cute. I wanted to pick it up and plonk back in Rickmansworth. So well thought out. All mod cons too. Swoon. You can also marry in the Gather barns too, we used here for group shots as was such a bright, low-sun day. Winner. And then the Barns themselves. So lovely. With mezzanine floor, full bar, separate dance area. Win win win. Rumours have it they are renovating the 'stables' to provide guest accommodation. Form an orderly queue and book your weddings now ladies/gents. Don't get me started on the food. I could boast about our wedding food all day long. EVERYONE has mentioned it. It is soooo delicious. Everything we ordered was fab.Canapes were lush. Everything we tried at the tasting evening (where you meet other couples getting wed there!!) was great. How do they mass produce the same meal all to such a high standard? Gob smackingly good. The staff our lovely. I was thrilled with everything Jayne and Natalie did leading up to and on our day. Can I please relive my wedding here? Please?!

Quite a few of my friends have got married recently (and we have four more weddings to attend this…read moreyear) so I'm sort of getting used to wedding weekends! We attended a ceremony and reception at Gaynes Park, and it was lovely...I have no idea how much it costs (I assume it'll be scarily pricey) but it is a really pleasant place to visit as a guest! Location: - It is sooo pretty! The blossoms were all in bloom and the gardens are simply lovely. - If you'd like a long aisle to parade down in your dress...the lead in to the orangery is epic! The bride walked down the whole way through the gardens while everyone whispered about how gorgeous she looked. - It was really easy to get to for guests (a few minutes drive from Epping tube station...) Food: - Om nom nom... The food was gorgeous! I was really impressed that they managed to keep it consistently delicious when cooking for sooo many people. I heard a couple of grumbles from some male relatives that were still a bit hungry, but I thought the portions were good - I was stuffed!! - The only thing that was a bit rubbish was the pimms that they served right after the ceremony... I think they might have used tonic water rather than lemonade and it had sat around too long so all the ice melted to leave terrible watered down non-pimms! Ah well.
