Rave rave rave. Obviously I'm going to be biased, I got married here but take into account this won Wedding 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?! read more

Quite a few of my friends have got married recently (and we have four more weddings to attend this year) 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. read more

If you like the idea of spending your whole life thinking about how perfect your wedding day will be, before spending a fortune on your dream dress and two beautiful vintage cars to take you from church to your venue, only to be greeted on arrival by a huge Calor Gas van half way through unloading some pretty massive and unsightly orange gas cylinders, right where you wanted your cars to pull up so you could have pictures with them...then Gaynes Park could be the venue for you. And if you like the idea that the first thing all your quests see on arrival is also said gas van and not you getting out of your beautiful car, because said gas van is just too big and blocking their view...then Gaynes Park could be the venue for you. And if you like the idea that when you complain about said van, the venue take absolutely no responsibility for it being there, and simply blame it on turning up late, even though it should have been turned away instantly, but was in fact clearly half way through unloading...then Gaynes Park could be the venue for you. And then if you like the idea of being promised it will never happening again (to someone else), even though on your dream wedding day - that will only happen once - it did happened...then Gaynes Park could be the venue for you. And if you like the idea that your venue simply can't get their heads around the fact that the van simply shouldn't have been there on your wedding day, and make up a collection of excuses as to why they can't be held accountable in anyway, but will take the money you paid to have a perfect day...then Gaynes Park is could be the venue for you. read more
