About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2022

Last update: November 2023

Nestled in the heart of England's Surrey Hills just south of Guildford, Surrey, Gate Street is a romantic venue for weddings and other milestone events. This family-run property is also a working farm home to English Longhorn cattle, Lleyn Sheep, and Mangalitsa Pigs. The barn and its surroundings have been home to countless celebrations for over 20 years.

Facilities and Capacity

Gate Street Barn is available to host weddings all year long, no matter the weather. You can start your day in the Tack Room and the Old Dairy, two getting-ready rooms where you'll be able to spend time with your party. Then, you may head to The Barn for the ceremony or follow the bluebell-lined paths through the woods for a fairytale-worthy blessing.

The Barn can seat up to 150 guests, while evening receptions or less formal occasions can host 200 attendees. Inside The Barn, you can enjoy the warm wood finishes and exposed beams wound with twinkling fairy lights. It's joined to both The Orangery and Pheasantry, allowing you to smoothly move between event spaces as the day unfolds. In the warmer months, you can also hold your reception in the beautiful landscape gardens. Wood-burning stoves add a touch of cosiness for weddings in autumn and winter.

Onsite Accommodation

Once the celebrations have drawn to a close, end the day on a high by booking the convenient onsite accommodations that can sleep up to 28 people. The Hayloft is a popular choice for the newlyweds with its abundance of rustic charm. The Farmhouse, beside The Barn, has seven double rooms and access to the tennis court and heated swimming pool in the summer. The Stable Flat, which can be connected to the Tack Room, is well-suited for friends and family of the couple. It has two double bedrooms and a private garden, ideal for turning the celebration into a countryside getaway. Those who want to treat themselves to a glamping experience will enjoy the convenience and charm of the Shepherd's Hut, with views of the Longhorn Cattle on the farm. The Stork Hut and The Pool House are also available for overnight stays.

Services Offered

At Gate Street, you can make the most of the breathtaking setting for your wedding photos. The backdrop of the acres of hills and farm's Longhorn Cattle make for pictures that are truly one of a kind. The team here will share the details of six recommended catering companies, offering choices for all tastes and budgets. They're also happy to provide tables and oak cross-back chairs. This property is an exclusive-use venue, offering you peace and privacy for your most important moments.

A very special wedding venue

We got married at Gate Street Barn last weekend and have had the most wonderful experience with the entire team. It's been the most seamless and joyful process. We knew that we were in great hands from our first visit to the big day itself. Our family loved being able to visit the venue at Gate Street Open Days, where we also got a chance to meet with their recommended suppliers, many of whom we also used! The number of compliments we've received about the venue is incredible, our guests absolutely loved it, as did we! We visited lots of wedding venues before finding Gate Street Barn and are so thrilled to have chosen them for our special day. We couldn't have asked for a more professional and supportive team. We used the on-site accommodation for our wedding night, which are all absolutely stunning. The rooms are gorgeous and breakfast the next morning was incredible, plus a dip in the pool! Thank you so much to Leanne, India, Annabel, Holly, Ellie and all of the Gate Street team for making our day so perfect. This is truly a very special wedding venue.

Absolute perfection!

We got married at Gate Street in December and everything was absolutely perfect. The venue is beautiful, especially the barn and surroundings. However, it was the team at Gate Street that made our experience so special. Nothing is too much trouble for Leanne and the team, and we felt that we could trust them completely to make the day amazing and carry out our plans. The day was everything we could have wished for and more. If you are considering Gate Street as your venue, go for it. It’s a truly magical place and we wouldn’t have changed a thing.

Gorgeous venue

This was the last venue we saw and we both just fell immediately in love with it. It's absolutely stunning and so many guests mentioned how beautiful it was. Everyone was so helpful, friendly and responsive in the run up to the big day. Our big tip is to go with a lot of their recommended suppliers - we did and it made everything so much more simple to organise and everyone we dealt with was fab.

Amazing venue

Our day was just perfection- we cannot believe how fast it all went by. The suppliers (most of which are either recommended by the venue or work there frequently) put us so at ease with how easily they cracked on with things- we couldn't be happier with everyone we picked, but by far our best decision was the venue. From the moment we walked in, back in Jan 2020(!) we were in love, and the team have made everything so straight-forward and are always so lovely to chat to. A special thank you to Annabel who was incredible on the day and made sure everything went exactly to plan - she really put us at ease and nothing was to much trouble. Thank you so much for helping us create a day we will never forget- we're so sad it's all over but very excited at all that is now to come! We could not recommend this venue any higher, the barn itself is beautiful and the service is easily the best in Surrey!

Thank you for everything!

Gate Street Barn is wonderful

India and her team made sure our wedding ran beautifully. The barn is absolutely stunning, everything looks magical the environment around the barn is wonderful. The team were present on the day , encouraged me before I walked down the aisle and made me feel more relaxed (I really needed that!). I cannot recommend this place enough!

Thank you!!

Gate Street Barn is stunning! It's a gorgeous venue (all weather because if it happens to rain on your wedding day your guests can move between the barn & pheasantry (bar) without going outside and still in a big space / beautiful setting). Annabel and her team ran the day seamlessly - thank you! The on-site accommodation is also amazing - the farmhouse has a pool and a private chef cooks everyone staying on-site breakfast in the morning.

Perfect wedding venue!

We had the best day for our wedding at Gate Street!

India was our event manager on the day and went above and beyond. Everyone else at Gate Street were so friendly and helpful, too!

We had a great time attending the pre-wedding events, including wine tastings and supplier showcases.

We received so many compliments from our guests and we all had the most fun day ever!

We are so thrilled that we picked Gate Street and would not change a thing!

Beautiful venue!

I could not recommend this venue more. The venue itself is stunning and the staff are so friendly and helpful. We had the best wedding and were so happy we chose this venue.

We were so fortunate with our weather, the set up was beautiful and could not fault the organisation.

We can’t wait to come back and visit one day!

Thanks for everything. Sara & Sam x

To India & everyone else at Gate Street Barn
Thank you for being the wedding venue of our dreams – we could not have asked for more (we even got blue skies in August!!)
Our pictures are absolutely unreal and a massive part of that is due to your stunning venue. Some of our friends are so angry they can’t get married at GSB now – sorry! Your 10/10 communication and support made our day. Thanks again!
