A dream outdoor wedding with a poetic charm
Outdoor wedding venue for hire: De Zoete Garden
There is a certain magic to an outdoor wedding; a sense of freedom as vows are carried on a gentle breeze. Here at The Warren, nestled within 22 acres of serene grounds in Hayes, that magic has a name: the De Zoete Garden.
The perfect garden wedding venue
This is a fully licensed civil ceremony space, recently reimagined to host the first chapter of your forever story. It is where the timeless character of our Grade II listed manor meets the wild, unscripted beauty of nature, creating a backdrop that feels both grand and deeply personal.
Do you envision a relaxed lawn ceremony or a grand affair under the charming pergola? The De Zoete Garden offers flexibility, elegance, and a peaceful atmosphere for your celebration. The space includes white wedding chairs set on artificial grass, ensuring comfort for your guests throughout the ceremony.

Your perfect day, whatever the weather
While we adore the sun, we have a seamless backup plan to ensure your ceremony is flawless, rain or shine. Should the British weather have other ideas, we will swiftly and gracefully move your ceremony indoors to the beautiful, adjoining Coney Suite. Your guests can then still enjoy their celebratory drinks and capture beautiful photographs in the garden or around our grounds, umbrellas at the ready for a spot of playful, romantic drizzle.
