Situated in 17 acres of Surrey countryside, Gorse Hill, Woking is a beautiful manor house with quintessential English charm and is an obvious choice for weddings in Surrey.
The Wedding
Laura and Robert
Gorse Hill Hotel, Woking
Friday 31 May 2024
Ceremony and Drinks Reception
Despite the weather Laura and Robert had opted for an outdoor ceremony. For the most part this was great and fortunately during the actual ceremony the weather held which was very pleasing for them. There were one or two slight showers just after the guests were seated but nothing more.
For our part we had to remain indoors. We could have gone outside but Gorse Hill Do not allow amplification outside and so our speakers had to remain indoors but by the windows. Rather than trail cables everywhere and with slightly suspect weather it was just as effective for us to be indoors.
