Greyfriars House is the perfect place for your event, close to Guildford, in the heart of The Surrey Hills. The house has spectacular views over an area of outstanding natural beauty making it the perfect location for weddings, birthdays, celebration parties, corporate events, and location shoots.
You will have exclusive use of our elegant boutique venue for your wedding or special event. The house comes alive when we share it with you, and we stand out from all other venues by doing things very differently. We only book 30 or so events a year so we can devote our time to understand precisely what you require and making it your day, not ours.
What we offer is a very personal, intimate and exciting venue for you to create exactly what you want for your event. We tailor each event personally for you and being a private house, it is highly likely you & your guests would not have been here before, giving you the opportunity to have found something new, fresh & exciting.

The house is available as a whole, although the individual spaces are the dining room, gardens, bar, entrance hallway, landing and master bedroom.

    Greyfriars House was a terrific venue for our daughter’s wedding reception. Libby and James were well organised, professional and ensured that the day ran smoothly. The views over the Surrey hills are stunning and the Greyfriars House team exceeded our expectations. We would definitely recommend Greyfriars House.

    Libby and her team were fantastic, from start to finish they ensured that our magical day went smoothly. Libby's house is immaculate and the drawing room, in which you get married is stunning. The window looks fabulous in wedding photos. All our guests complimented both the attentive staff and glorious views. You have given us memories which we will treasure forever. Thank you Libby and your wonderful team for making our day so so beautiful and amazing. I recommend anyone to get married here. Thank you again from Mrs And Mrs Mahon-Bierton (Shelley and Rosalind) Thursday 9th September 2021

    We had our dream wedding ceremony and reception at Greyfriars House in August this year. The best bit for us was the ability to tailor our day to what we wanted it to be against the blank canvas of this beautiful and unique property. I think my husband and I kept things quite simple with our day, opting for a classic combination of ceremony, drinks reception, three course menu and evening reception. We had some wonderful floristry to decorate the venue, but to be honest you could do as much or as little as you want here. Keeping it simple, like we believe we did, or going for more with different catering options and entertainment is all possible. Due to the pandemic, we had to rearrange our wedding twice and Libby was extremely flexible and accommodating when it came to new dates and us moving things around. Another big tick here is the way the team works with your chosen suppliers; very helpful and flexible at all times. None of our guests had been to Greyfriars before and even locals weren't aware of the home's existence, tucked back as it is from the main road. The team is very experienced indeed in managing weddings (alongside other events) but they aren't in the game of holding them every day of the week - so it made it all that bit more special. We had gone to see quite a few venues and those offering 'packages' with catering, disco etc all thrown in, just felt a little bit too corporate for us. Many of my guests commented on the stunning views and lovely gardens, and how lovely Libby's team was. All-in-all I would definitely recommend considering this venue for your wedding if you want to tailor your day with your own suppliers and look and feel; are keen to work with a laid-back team with a 'family feel' and want somewhere where most of your guests won't have been before.

    Visited here for a client's wedding. The house was spacious, modern and had a nice rustic feel to it. The owners dog sometimes makes an appearance - a lovely, friendly Labrador. Staff were great and an overall impressive wedding venue.

    A truly stunning venue and perfect location for a wedding. From the moment we visited Greyfriars and met Libby, we knew it was the wedding venue for us. We were won over by the beautiful views of the Surrey Hills, the long drive way, and the stunning Drawing Room with the large arched window area. The venue has fantastic character and history to it, and the staircase provided the perfect entrance route for the bride & bridal party. We appreciated the fact that events are not held back-to-back, so it felt completely exclusive to us for our wedding, and we could put our own stamp on the space - not things other venues we visited offered. We had to reorganise our wedding three times owing to Covid, Libby was flexible with dates and supportive throughout. When we finally got our big day, it was just perfect. It ran absolutely seamlessly - a huge thank you to Libby and her team, particularly Julie, who worked exceptionally hard on the day. Our guests had a brilliant time and many complimented the venue and the stunning views. If you're looking for somewhere special to tie the knot, Greyfriars is definitely worth a visit.
