The Mill Barn can accommodate 150 guests for a wedding breakfast and up to 200 for the evening reception. Adjacent to the Mill Barn stands the open-sided Gather Barn, which provides a covered area for outdoor civil ceremonies and evening barbecues.
As the evening draws to a close The Coach House, located nearby and available separately through Gaynes Park Ltd, is available for you and your guests.

- CCharlie and Collette16/11/2025Amazing wedding venueAmazing wedding venueWe got married at Gaynes Park in October and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. From start to finish, everything ran seamlessly, and a huge part of that was thanks to Victoria, our wedding coordinator at the venue. She was incredibly responsive, detail-oriented, and on top of every part of the day, which meant we could just relax and enjoy it. The food and drink was absolutely outstanding - both the canapés and the wedding breakfast. Several of our guests told us it was the best wedding food they’d ever had, and we completely agree! The venue is beautiful, on the day we had a lot of wind and some clouds but it still looks great in all the pictures. There’s a lot of lovely space both indoors and outdoors, so it is a good venue choice whatever the weather. Overall, Gaynes Park exceeded our expectations in every way. We’d highly recommend it to anyone considering it as a wedding venue. We got married at Gaynes Park in October and couldn’t have been happier with the experience.

- LLaura and Chris30/08/2025Our dream wedding! Our dream wedding!Gaynes Park was everything we could have dreamed of and more for our wedding. The venue is absolutely breathtaking — from the long approach through the parkland to the stunning Orangery, the beautiful gardens, and the elegant barn. Each space has its own charm, and together they created the perfect flow for our day. The staff were incredible from start to finish. Victoria, our wedding co-ordinator, guided us through the planning process with such care and attention, always quick to answer questions and reassure us. On the day itself, the team worked seamlessly behind the scenes so that everything ran smoothly — we were able to relax and just enjoy ourselves, knowing we were in safe hands. Our guests were wowed by the setting. Many commented on how magical the grounds looked, especially in the evening with the festoon and fairy lights. The food was another highlight — delicious, beautifully presented, and generous portions that left everyone talking about it long after. Gaynes Park is one of those venues that feels both grand and intimate at the same time. It gave us the romantic, countryside wedding we’d hoped for, with modern facilities and thoughtful touches everywhere. We couldn’t recommend Gaynes Park more highly. It truly is a dream wedding venue, and we will cherish the memories we made there forever.Gaynes Park was everything we could have dreamed of and more for our wedding.

Location & Contact Details for Gaynes Park
Gaynes Park First Look Event
Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
Every wedding is so different, it is impossible to pick just one!
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
It is your day, focus on what you want!
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
There are so many options for adding personal touches but it is so lovely when couples display family photos of weddings through the generations!
Describe your venue in 5 adjectives.
Unique, Romantic, Luxury, Picturesque, Wow!
Where’s the best photo spot at your venue?
We love photos on our Entrance Drive where couples are surrounded by countryside but can capture sweeping views on the London skyline in the distance - it is such a special view!
Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at your venue?
Our lips are sealed. Gaynes Park is delightfully secluded and this privacy and exclusivity is increasingly important to our guests, high-profile and otherwise. And so of course we'd never breathe a word.
What’s your favourite canapé?
We have a fantastic menu of canapes but our Mini Shepherds Pie is always a crowd pleaser!
What’s your favourite midnight treat?
We love seeing our chefs create magical Street Food dishes. Cooked outdoors in huge pans and woks over street-market-style tripod burners and then served indoors or out. It creates an additional piece of entertainment for guests whilst also being incredibly delicious!
What is your venue's most unique feature?
The Long Walk. It begins at the Heart Gate and leads through the grounds of Gaynes Park to the entrance of the Walled Garden. With your nearest and dearest assembled and eagerly awaiting your arrival in the Orangery, the Long Walk gives you just the right amount of time to relax and compose yourself before making your grand entrance through the gates of the Walled Garden.
What part of your business are you most proud of?
