Best Surrey Wedding Venues
I have been filming weddings in Surrey since 2015 and these are the venues I keep going back to. Some of them are twenty minutes from my front door. What follows is what each one is actually like to spend a wedding day in, with the real guest numbers, rather than what the brochure says.
If you have already chosen, there is a page here for every one of these venues with filming notes and a film from the day. If you are still deciding, start at the top. And if Surrey is not where you are looking, there is a Hampshire wedding venues guide as well.
Botley’s Mansion, Chertsey
Up to 280 for the ceremony and up to 500 in the evening, which makes Botley’s Mansion the largest wedding I film anywhere in Surrey. There is a bridal suite and eleven further rooms on site, so the morning happens where the wedding happens.
Numbers that size change how I work rather than whether it works. I arrive earlier and I plan the speeches differently, because a room of five hundred needs more than one camera pointed at it.
Foxhills Country Club, Ottershaw
150 for an outdoor ceremony, 180 seated and 180 in the evening, spread across the Orangery, the Manor Lawns and the Clubhouse. The Orangery seats forty five, so a smaller day works here too, and the Clubhouse goes to exclusive use for up to 180.
Sixty six rooms and a bridal suite on site. Foxhills Country Club is one of the few venues near me where nobody has to drive anywhere on the day.
Horsley Towers, East Horsley
120 for the ceremony, 120 seated and 250 in the evening, in a nineteenth century mansion with eight acres around it. A bridal suite on site and gardens close enough that the couple portraits are twenty minutes rather than a hike.
There is a note on my Horsley Towers page about the light in the ballroom that is worth reading while you are planning your timings. Get that right and the speeches look like the rest of the day.
Farnham Castle, Farnham
150 for the ceremony, 150 seated and 200 in the evening, with a bridal suite and thirty three further rooms. A castle that manages not to feel like a theme.
Watch Mel and Oliver’s day on the Farnham Castle page and you will see what I mean by that.
The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, Camberley
150 for the ceremony, 150 seated and up to 200 in the evening. The ceremony is in the 1813 chapel and there are three reception spaces to choose between: the lakeside marquee, the Old College Dining Room and Robertson House.
A military wedding runs to its own timings and its own rules. I have filmed enough of them to stay out of the way of both. There is more on how that day works on my Sandhurst page.
Wotton House, Dorking
I filmed Jenna and Matthew here, from the Old Library through to the lawn. The whole day is on the Wotton House page if you would rather watch a wedding than read about one.
Kingswood Manor
The most recent Surrey venue to get its own page here. Have a look at Kingswood Manor for the photographs and the film.
Not in Surrey?
I work across the South of England and a good way beyond it when asked. There is a Hampshire wedding venues guide and a West Sussex wedding venues guide covering the same ground for those two counties.
How I film a Surrey wedding
No posing, no forced smiles, no interruptions. I film what happens and I stay out of the way while I do it. If your photographer sets something up I will use it, but your day does not stop for me.
Full day films across the county start at 1,547 pounds and the detail is on the Surrey wedding videographer page. If you would rather see how I work first, my style and approach is the place to start. Packages and pricing has the numbers, and you can reach me on the contact page whenever you are ready.
