I wanted to take a moment to extend our deepest gratitude to you and the entire team at Gaynes Park for making our wedding day absolutely perfect. It truly was everything we have ever wanted and more. From the initial planning stages to the final moments of our special day, your attention to detail, professionalism, and warmth made all the difference. Victoria & Donna, you were a constant source of support and guidance, and we couldn’t have asked for better coordinators by our side. You made the entire process feel effortless and enjoyable, allowing us to fully embrace every moment of our day.

A beautiful venue for a winter wedding and enhanced by the Christmas tree. The team were so organised and helpful they made the day run smoothly. They went above and beyond to help when guests were stranded with no taxi even with it being after 1 am. The venue is a good size and the orangery was perfect for the ceremony overlooking the grounds.

As a working professional photographer, I've had the absolute pleasure of working at Gaynes Park on a couple of occasions, and each time the overall service has been faultless! Yesterdays wedding was no exception, in fact it was an amazing lesson to any wedding co-ordinators out there on how to run a wedding day with absolute professionalism and pin point execution. Enter stage left. The immaculate Georgina! I've worked at the very best venues in Essex, but for sheer dedication and work ethic, nothing beats Georgina! I was amazed at her unrivalled control of a wedding - not one thing went a miss, and I can't begin to tell you how much more easier it was for me to capture precious images of my couple, because Georgina had taken all the guess work away from me and taken it on herself to allow me to just work! The bottom line is this, Gaynes park and their remarkable staff will do absolutely all they can to give you a wedding day to remember for all the right reasons. Oh and DJ Terry? Yep make sure you have his services too - this guy injects so much energy and life in to your wedding evening festivities, and is on hand during parts of the day to make sure every thing runs as smooth as possible. I wasn't paid to express my opinions about Gaynes park, I'm just a wedding photographer who truly appreciates a venue who goes out of their way to make my life easier! Thank you all at Gaynes Park for making us feel so welcome! 5 stars and more if I could!!

Attended niece's wedding and was very impressed with the venue! The staff were very helpful and professional throughout the day into the late evening. The one big surprise was the venues' recommended taxi service Lawlors, who charged over £40 for journey back to Brentwood Premier Inn compared to an Uber ( which I cancelled by mistake!) which would have cost just under £17!! Apart from that, top marks for a wonderful day

From the very first time we went there two years ago we knew it was the place we were going to get married . The staff from the initial show round to the morning after our wedding were exceptional . Victoria our Senior Events planner was professional, patient , understanding ,and above all extremely polite and approachable .Any request was dealt with in the utmost detail. The venue itself is absolutely stunning on its own but on our wedding day it was more then exceptional. All the staff were beautifully turned out and again exceptionally professional and polite . The food was , wow the food and the drink were just heaven . We highly recommend the Rose Sangria as do all our guests !. We would write more but we don't want to spoil it for you and we would could never do it justice anyway!

WOW! Where do I start a stunning venue for our Daughters wedding ! We 1st saw it on a bleak January morning but knew it was special fast forward to August and it was even better, the gardens in full bloom are wonderful. The apple loft is a wonderful place to share those special moments getting dressed for the wedding . The Orangery, Mill Barn & Gather Barn offered the perfect setting to add our own touches. The food was excellent with great quality ingredients and the waiting staff were brilliant ! The Coach House accommodation was excellent as was the breakfast the following morning again immaculate and comfy rooms. Lastly the staff - from booking to the day itself nothing was too much trouble prompt response most appreciated and went above and beyond by capturing some special moments for us. A special thank you to Georgia with us throughout the whole process very professional, lovely calming nature and felt like family the minute we met here. Thank you for making our Daughters dream wedding come true you really are stars.

The visit was for a wedding. On arrival we could not find a reception so I spoke to a blonde lady explaining my daughter had prior arranged my room check in for 12.30 latest. I was early and expected to wait I was simply making our arrival known. I was bluntly told all guests would be collected after 12.30 when the rooms were ready. I mentioned if it were ready beforehand could I be advised. Again I was bluntly told to wait and she would fetch us when the room was ready. A while later my partner walked the grounds to see if he could find reception, he came across the same lady who was again short mannered advising we should wait until collected. At 12.45 other guests were arriving so I became anxious as at this point I hadn’t long before photos with my daughter prior to the wedding. I finally found another lady who advised our room was ready and waiting. My partner made a hasty few trips to fetch belongings from the car and we hurriedly got ready. I am staggered that such a venue should have such a lack of welcome. I am angry I sat waiting to be collected but ignored. Had I not partly got ready prior to travelling I would have missed a very important part of my day due to the blonde ladies ignorance, it was totally unnecessary. On a positive note I found the catering and catering staff lovely, but I would not recommend the venue due to my issues above.

I had my wedding here a few days ago and it was just perfect. There wasn’t anything that didn’t go to plan and the guests have all said how flawless it was. I may have been one of the most OCD and over organised brides they have had but they were there whenever I needed them. Staff were amazing but especially Georgina. Even the small touches stopping my dad and I before we walked down the isle to enjoy every second. From the first time I saw her in the morning in the cottage to when we left the next day she made me feel amazing. I just can’t say Thankyou enough to gaynes park. They made it the best day of my life. Would really recommend this venue. Wish I could do it all again!

Gaynes Park is an absolute gem of a wedding venue located in the heart of Essex. As a wedding DJ service, we have had the pleasure of performing at this stunning venue on numerous occasions every year, and we can confidently say that it is one of our favourite places to work. From the moment you arrive, you are greeted with breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and an air of tranquillity that immediately puts you at ease. The beautifully manicured gardens and impeccably maintained grounds provide the perfect backdrop for any wedding, and the venue itself is simply stunning. The attention to detail and level of care that has gone into every aspect of Gaynes Park is evident from the moment you step through the door. The team is incredibly professional and knowledgeable, and they go above and beyond to ensure that every couple's special day is truly unforgettable. The ceremony room at Gaynes Park is the Orangery, which is a beautifully bright and airy room that can accommodate up to 150 guests. It features floor-to-ceiling windows that offer stunning views of the gardens and countryside, and it has a real sense of elegance and grandeur. The Mill Barn is stunning. It has a warm and inviting atmosphere and can accommodate up to 150 guests. One thing that really sets Gaynes Park apart from other wedding venues is the incredible attention to detail that goes into every aspect of the wedding planning process. The team works closely with each couple to ensure that every aspect of their day is perfect, from the catering to the floral arrangements to the entertainment. As a wedding DJ service, we can attest to the fact that Gaynes Park is an absolute pleasure to work with. The team is incredibly accommodating and always goes above and beyond to ensure that our clients have an unforgettable experience. In summary, Gaynes Park is a truly outstanding wedding venue that we would highly recommend to anyone looking for a stunning location for their special day. With its breathtaking scenery, exceptional service, and attention to detail, it is truly one of the best wedding venues in Essex. Thank you to all the fabulous team and we can’t wait to see you all again soon x Daryl and the team at Sweet Vibe Events.

I recently viewed the beautiful Gaynes park for the second time and I brought my Fiancé and his mum and also my mum. I had the lovely Laura show us around however, My mum was almost an hour late because of constant road closed signs and having to find alternative routes but Laura was very understanding. Also walking around the venue we were asking questions and she was able to provide everything. She was helping us picture our perfect day. When my mum finally arrived, even though my Fiancé, his mum and I had already seen everything, she allowed us to go back and see everything just so my mum could see what we all saw as well. We all loved everything so my Fiancé and I have booked the beautiful venue for 2025. We can't wait.

We got married in September and it was best day of our lives. From the moment we viewed Gaynes Park we both instantly fell in love. Everything about the venue is stunning and on top of that the staff are amazing Georgina and the team went above and beyond to make sure everything went perfect and If we could do it all again we would do. The only downside was the day just went to quickly but no one was to blame for that :-) The Charlick’s

If I could picture the perfect setting for any wedding it would be Gaynes Park. Without a doubt I’d start the day all over again. From the moment we first arrived the year before, the initial greeting, consultation for wedding packages to booking our day the staff at Gaynes Park made the whole experience easy and stress free. On our wedding day everything was ready early so by the time we got there, no waiting around or worrying. Aimie, was so impressive and knowledgeable. Sounds like an obvious thing to say but the ability to give you a clear view of your day when you’re nervous, thinking about other guests or time frames she was the focal point of for clarity when you needed it. Along side that she was a personable, patient and welcoming. The food…..the food!!!!!! I think we’ve had more feedback on how good that was than anything else. We chose the mid week package including Cottage Pie/Nut Roast, Crème Brûlée and Vegan Eton Mess. The Mill Barn and Orangery were exceptional, clean, light, airy, warm and comforting. We also took advantage of the ability to use the coach house. 10 humble, homely and we’ll equipped rooms. The walk in shower in the Honeymoon Suite was literally the best shower I’ve ever been in and to have a bath early morning that envelopes someone at 6’1 there was no trouble relaxing. As if that wasn’t enough, morning breakfast catered for Gluten free just like the whole meal the night before was fully a cooked and non greasy full English. The only thing we wish we could change is being able to go back in a years time for breakfast or lunch to reminisce on the day. In all honestly and I mean honestly the best place to have your wedding. Take the time to come and see Gaynes Park, meet the staff, have a look and understand that no expense is spared, no question or request too much and have the best days of your life. We did and we’d start it all again tomorrow if we could. Thank you Gaynes Park you’ve made us very happy! The now…Mr & Mrs Taylor

Gaynes Park, where to start? After a 2 year delay our wedding finally happened on 15th June 2022. It was the most magical day and we wish we could do it all again! All our guests have said it was the best wedding ever and that Gaynes Park is truly beautiful. A special mention to Victoria and Georgina who looked after us for the whole day. They both ensured the day ran smoothly and are both so caring. Victoria and Georgina allowed us to go off together for around 10 minutes every so often on our own, which allowed us to take in the whole day and not feel too overwhelmed. All the details at Gaynes Park are stunning. From getting ready in the bridal cottage, the breath taking walk to the Orangery, the sheep in the grounds, and the gather barn. On a clear day you can even see the whole of London in the distance but you are surrounded by countryside. The food was absolutely five star. Poached egg with asparagus in hollandaise sauce, the beef wellington was cooked to perfection along with the trio of desserts, passion fruit parfait, chocolate brownie and Eton mess. Adam and I both had the wedding of our dreams and will forever be grateful to Gaynes Park. We were so lucky with the weather – sunny with a gentle breeze. All of our guests were able to see the venue in all it’s beauty. We even had our little dog Winnie who shared part of our special day with us. The staff are fantastic and everything about the venue is out of this world. If you are thinking of booking Gaynes Park as your wedding venue you will not be disappointed!

Myself and my husband Luke got married at Gaynes Park back in March 2022 and want to state what a beautiful day we experienced here. The staff were so helpful on the day, everything was organised and stress free. Our guests still talk about our food and how beautiful the venue is. The only hiccup we found was communication from the venue until 3 months before our wedding was pretty poor, we felt a bit forgotten about and so everything felt a bit last minute. A warning to take on is that despite how much it all costs, there isn't much wiggle room at all with Gaynes Park so make sure you have an idea of what things you definitely want on your day as it's more than likely a no. Our major shout out goes to our savier Lauren Farr. Without Lauren there for the 3 months leading up to our wedding as well as on the day and even the afterwards, I don't know how we would have got through all the standard wedding stresses! She has a real care and passion for what she does and made our lives 10 times easier as well as being a genuinely lovely person. We would rate 5* for just Lauren if we could. Thank you so much Lauren for everything, we couldn't have done it without you and wish you all the happiness. The Gilbert's x

This one star is ONLY for the venue, I'd like to give ZERO STARS for the catering, the catering team and the ESPECIALLY THE CATERING MANAGER AIMEE COLEMAN! What a horrid woman who never smiled throughout the whole wedding, and was rude to the groom's brother, the groom's sister in law, the bride's sister and other friends and family. Absolutely everyone noticed she was agitated for no reason and gave one word answers to guest's questions. She doesn't care about the fact that someone has paid alot of money to have their big day be very special, she was completely distant from everyone. Her event management skills were appalling with her standing in the kitchen most of the time, with the lack of time management the chef's presented dry dry dry chewy steak Babette and lamb to almost a 50 adults. Majority of those did was unable to either finish their food due to the dryness and toughness to cut. Absolutely appalling main course! Will not recommend this venue for anyone unless they are willing to deal with awful food, service, staff and upset guests.

My daughter and son in law, were married here this month, and it was a beautiful day… All there guests have not stopped telling us what a lovely day they had… Food was lovely , very helpful staff, It was a very hot day, but the the air con was on in the orangey, so no problems, only thing I would say they need air con in the barn where you eat, it did get very hot in there, and the same with some of the rooms we were staying in. They did put fans in each room, which did help, it was one of the hottest day of the year… It was a great day to remember, thank you to all there staff for there hard work . ( they don’t stop all day) I would recommend this venue to anyone..

Gaynes Park is THEE most incredible setting for a wedding. We got married a few weeks ago and choosing Gaynes Park as our venue was the best decision we ever made. It was the 6th wedding venue we had visited, and we had begun to give up hope, however the second you drive up to this stunning venue, it’s easy to see how we fell in love with it instantly. There are so many areas to utilise and for guests to explore! The food was incredible, as were the team and we cannot thank Victoria and Georgina enough for making sure our day ran perfectly. There wasn’t a single hitch and I can genuinely say that was all down to them! So many of our guests have said (and continue to say) that Gaynes Park is the best venue they’ve ever been to. We had the wedding of our dreams and I’m so thankful to Gaynes Park for making it happen!

The venue from when we arrived into the apple loft to the next morning in the coach house was spot on, clean and beautiful. All staff very professional, nothing was too much. They even got my Nan a different dinner as she couldn’t manage the good we had got which was very kind of them. Canapés amazing. Our three course dinner was the best wedding food Iv had. So many guests saying how delicious it was. Couldn’t fault any part of the day! So a big Thankyou to Lauren, Donna from the coach house and all waiting and bar staff. You all made my day even more magical.

Perfect wedding day! Couldnt fault it at all! Food was out of this world, service was fantastic and Victoria was so helpful. There were certain events out of our control that happened on the day, luckily the venue helped us straight away and were very accommodating. We had nothing to worry about while enjoying our day. Many guests commented on how beautiful the venue is and how much they enjoyed everything, especially the food. We had a few issues when we had to postpone the wedding due to covid, and felt like it was a little all over the place. We don't feel that the team that was dealing with our postponement were fully trained for this situation. However, it was an unusual situation and looking back now it was just a small bump in the road and we wouldnt have wanted to get married anywhere else. Will definitely recommend to anyone looking to get married at Gaynes Park. Thank you to the team for an amazing day!!

Venue beautiful no denying that but service very poor. Attention to detail poor. No personable service. Many guests from wedding had tummy upsets. Not sure if it may have been a virus.

DO NOT GET MARRIED HERE!!! STAFF ARE INCREDIBLY RUDE, LAUREN BARNET & EMMA (BAR MANAGER) WORST STAFF EVER! EXTREMELY RUDE. Lauren was extremely rude to my mother and I on the morning of my wedding making us all wait outside in the cold as she showed round another potential couple to get married at Gaynes park, this then made me late for my own wedding day!! Neither Lauren nor Emma broke a smile on the day and were extremely rude towards my family and my new family, their behaviour was unacceptable. We have spent a lot of money with Gaynes park for the wedding which we was never late to pay and had everything on time to be treated as dirt, three of my close friends have recently got engaged and considered having there wedding here at Gaynes Park but from what they have witnessed they will not be going through with it. The night of my wedding when everyone was leaving to go home my father was saying goodbye to all of our guests when the bar manager was running around sweating looking for him making a scene that he needs to pay for the bar bill straight away, all of our guests said how rude she was and how disgusting to be running around asking guests where he was as if he was never going to pay. The bar manager then proceeded to be rude to my father in law when he asked for some of the Alcohol we had already brought to take to the coach house, we were never told there were separate licenses for the bars but she never explained and continued to be rude towards him. Everything I asked for Gaynes Park to do never materialised. There were items not put out that I wanted out on display. They will of forever ruined my wedding day which I will never get back, as they have their money (because everything has to be paid right when they say) they do not care, will not get Lauren or Emma to apologise to me or my family, I strongly suggest you look else where if you want a perfect day to remember and not ruined by the staff here at Gaynes park!!

Great country location yet close to Epping and Harlow, perfect for wedding receptions and special events.

The minute we looked around Gaynes Park I fell in love with it and our wedding day did not disappoint! Chloe, the lady who ran our day, was just fabulous! Nothing was too much bother for her and she was lovely with my little boy. The food was outstanding!! Plenty of it and we bought the Prosecco and Beer package for the turn around while we waited in the orangery, that was welcomed and plentiful. We have had soo many of our friends and family say how much they enjoyed the day, how stunning the venue is, how good the food was. “Best wedding food I’ve ever had” was mentioned a few times. Honestly we loved it all!! Only wish we could do it again and you guys could have controlled the weather 😉 xxx

Cold! No heating in venues. Dance floor was a terrible set up with the band buried in the corner and large pillars in the way. Bar was way too small for amount of people. Service was slow but food was excellent.

Beautiful venue, absolutely horrendous staff. In fact, they were virtually non-existent throughout the entire wedding. Guests arrived the venue and left out the in cold, confused and irritated for well over an hour. Not a single staff member was in sight to support. What was even worse was the bizarre prohibition that was put in place after dinner for over 90 minutes while they set up the dance floor. Surely it's basic knowledge that people want to continue drinking and enjoy themselves throughout the evening. The bar was closed for an obscene amount of time, leaving everyone annoyed while we impatiently waited by coffee urns in the Orangerie. I certainly would not recommend this venue to anyone for their wedding unless they bring in their own event organisers for the day. Poor show.

Fantastic place, food and staff would recommend it to anyone. The only thing I would say is that they should ban drinking glasses on the dance floor I can't imagine why anyone would do it as it is very dangerous, but they did.

Very good venue, staff professional, helpful and and discrete when needed, quietly going about their business without you noticing or distracted at all from the main event.

We attended a wedding at Gaynes Park yesterday. What an amazing team, they all worked incredibly hard, and that was just what I saw. I am sure there was even more going on behind the scenes. The room changes were done discreetly and swiftly. The food was first class, and again the service was impeccable. And there was such a lot of attention to detail overall. Such a wonderful place.

Not only is Gaynes Park a stunning venue, but the hospitality and the way you treated our wedding party and guests was second to none. From the moment that our original wedding was cancelled and we chose Gaynes as our new venue we knew we made a good decision, but the effort and fine detail they went to on the day was just unreal. More than we would or could have expected. We also want to say a Massive shout out to Chloe who made our entire day run smoothly and wasnjusy so incredible, and also a massive shout out to Donna, who not only helped the guys get ready, but made lunch for our niece and nephew and even helped get our neice in her dress, and then still went above that and helped a desperate Best Man with crying toddler during the ceremony. We truely are so grateful for the day they gave us - it was the best day of our lives and one that we and our family will have in our hearts forever, after everything we have all been through in the last year, we smashed it! Best Venue, Best Team, Best day EVER! would not change a thing! THANK YOU SO MUCH

We popped into 8 Rocks for breakfast after a Parkrun. We are pleased we did. The place was clean, staff clearing tables quickly after customers had left and were very friendly and attentive without being overbearing or making us feel rushed. The menu was expansive - we had eggs royale and a salt beef bagel - both of which were lovely. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

I have no idea how good or bad Cov's Pie and Mash is, because they decided to cancel their catering booking for my friend's event at 10pm the day before, to go to the Euros final instead. They had booked and paid for pie and mash for 40 people, so Covs had offered to arrange a back-up plan, but had again let my friend down when the driver supposedly had a flat tyre and couldn't make it to the event. Covs did refund my friend (when prompted), but they had to scramble to arrange back-up options for the party, whilst also hosting the party. My friend had also arranged signage for the party which advertised Covs' social media, and ordered specific bowls and plates that Covs had told them to order - so even though Covs had refunded the order, they were still out of pocket. For all I know, the food may be lovely, but the lack of professionalism and customer service shown by Covs was disgraceful. Avoid using them for any sort of catering or delivery service.

We had the most amazing family brunch here today. The food is SO GOOD. The atmosphere is light & bright which matches the decor & the staff are so friendly.
