Gaynes Park - Epping

Sam Rundle Photography

Gaynes Park is my favourite barn wedding venue in Essex! Quite the statement, I know, but it is simply amazing! I have had the absolute pleasure of photographing many beautiful weddings at Gaynes Park, and every time it blows me away just how picturesque it is, no matter the season.

I truly believe it is the most personal and inviting place where you feel like the venue is yours to make unique! Couples can make the most of the stunning surroundings, while their guests enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and plenty of space to mingle.

As a venue, Gaynes Park is completely accommodating, offering beautiful preparation areas, a lovely outdoor ceremony space, a timeless Orangery for the ceremony, and the barn for the wedding breakfast and party.

From a photography perspective, it doesn’t get more beautiful than this. Whether it’s the iconic gardens, the picturesque Orangery, or the scenic countryside views, every detail adds charm! The team here are so lovely, and I am always super excited to return.

Kindest regards,

I am not normally one to leave reviews but I couldn't not give a shining 5 star review to Gaynes Park. We got married on 4th October 2024 and it was the most incredible day. Gaynes were incredibly responsive throughout the whole period, provided an awesome tasting night which showcased the amazing food plus the potential options for styling. The whole day ran so smoothly, with a special mention to Amy Morris who was a total star throughout. She ensured that everything was taken care of and enabled the day to run as smoothly as it did. She answered the many emails we sent before the big day and was always happy to help no matter the question. On the big day, Amy took care of everything and the stress was taken away so we were able to enjoy our special day without any issues. The venue is gorgeous and the orangery is a really special aspect. The food was beautiful and such a high standard, no food was left on any plate! We had so many gushing reviews from our guests from the food, venue, running of the day and general day itself. I would highly recommend Gaynes Park as a wedding venue and will hold a special place in our hearts for sure 🙂 thanks to everyone at Gaynes for making our day so special.

This year I have had the pleasure of photographing a couple of weddings at Gaynes Park. On both occasions (once in spring and once in autumn), the staff were wonderfully supportive and welcoming, and the grounds looked incredible. I would heartily recommend Gaynes park for couples looking for a very special (and super photogenic) wedding venue in Essex. I'm really looking forward to shooting more weddings at Gaynes Park in the future.

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.

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!!
