Your Surrey Wedding - February/March 2024 (Issue 105)

FIESTA FIELDS (SPIRIT LAKE) 07539 880 031 https://fiestafields.co.uk/our-venues/spirit-lake Fiesta Fields is an outdoor wedding and events company representing a variety of beautiful outdoor venues dotted across Surrey and Sussex. Locally, in Dorking, you’ll find Spirit Lake. This 30-acre site consists of two pristine lakes, natural woodland, open spaces and a walled garden, where deer, rabbits, geese and ducks are regular visitors. Access is via a pretty fairy-lit woodland walk or take the more direct route from the parking area. This venue offers great flexibility and distinct areas to utilise for each part of your day. Celebrant-led ceremonies can take place in whichever part of the grounds you choose, from the walled garden to the secluded woodland or by the lake. Here you can decide on your preferred structure for the day’s celebrations from tipis, sailcloth tent or traditional pole tent. Also available is the stunning cream canvas tipis via sister company Canvas & Light (https://canvasandlight.co.uk). The site offers secure parking, mains power, shower, mains water and two bed apartment accommodation. Overnight camping or glamping is also an option. The Fiesta Fields team brings a wealth of event and project management experience, along with creativity, attention to detail and a knowledge of local suppliers. They offer full or partial coordination or an essentials package that includes land hire, power, loos, security and on-the-day coordination. What’s more, you have total freedom to create your vision. There are no restrictive supplier lists so you benefit from full flexibility when it comes to choosing your own W-day team, and the blank canvas of the field means you can have an input on every detail giving you a day that’ll be totally personal to you. Spirit Lake can accommodate 300 guests for the wedding breakfast and reception. SOMERSBURY BARN 07702 977 303 | www.somersburybarn.co.uk Somersbury Barn is a quintessential English countryside venue with a relaxed quirky charm surrounded by wildflower meadows, a pond and orchards. Only hosting a maximum of 10 weddings per year, every effort is made here to make your day the best it can be. As you drive up the tree-lined drive with ancient oaks and meadows either side of you, you can’t help but fall in love with the place. The Barn garden is lovingly tended and the Victorian Glasshouse gives you another area to wow your guests. Ceremonies take place in the barn itself with 120 guests looking on from either bench seating or cross-back chairs as you choose. Later dine and dance the night away in this impressive oak-framed structure. You can also opt to say “I do” from the large porch area in front of the Barn for an inside/outside vibe, perfectly framing you with your 120 guests seated on benches on the grass. Alternatively, you could choose to set up a tipi in one of the meadows with easy access to the Barn, via mowed paths through the long grass. Again, it’s possible to host 120 loved ones here. As well as the Barn you also have the choice of celebrating your nuptials in the garden with your 120 nearest and dearest. These gorgeous landscaped grounds outside the Barn have paved areas for mingling and offer a fabulously pretty area to sip champagne. Finally, the venue’s fabulous Indian Tent with golden stars on its ceiling and rustic bar pallet setup boasts wonderful surroundings and a spot to remember. It can host 80 guests. Accommodation for the happy couple is included in the hire cost. www.nickrayphotography.co.uk www.nickrayphotography.co.uk https://annapumerphotography.com https://kirstymackenziephotography.co.uk 20
