Gildings Barns

Rustic wedding venue in Dorking, Surrey

So this beautifully rustic venue is just 15 minutes from me and offers a brilliant setting for your epic day. There are a number of stunning churches around the Dorking area and pretty much all of which I have shot in over the last twenty-something years. Your reception then held at Gildings Barns is the perfect location for the second half of your wedding day. Alternatively your ceremony might also be at the venue in which case that takes the pressure off to all be in one location.

The actual history of this super-cool venue with it’s interconnecting barns is fascinating albeit still in its youthful years.

When shooting there I’ve found that the parties in the evening absolutely GO OFF! I’ve discovered that the secret to this is possibly the location of the DJ and definitely the actual dance floor. The DJ is slightly raised up, like at a club – not many wedding venues do this, and the floor is actual brick which is perfect for dancing on and any spilt drinks just disappear between the cracks so no need to stop the flow of the party ever. Also this kind of floor eliminates you having to hire a very expensive and unnecessary shiny plastic dance floor.

Ok so this is a pretty awesome venue all round I’d say. If you’re reading this far in to my website then, like me, you’re gonna love a party. Don’t forget, this is the biggest party you’re EVER going to throw! Make sure it’s a corker!
