Founder Nicky Yates and her family have several allergies - a driving influence for making Woodhaven a ‘healthy building’. As well as being the home for Nicky’s family, the space is also used for wellbeing events, hen parties and weddings. Nicky tells us: “Woodhaven is an exclusive use peaceful and private space. Based in the heart of Surrey, just 25 minutes from London, it’s perfectly located to capture those idyllic photographs before you and your guests arrive for the wedding reception. This purpose-built, eco-smart venue has wellbeing and sustainability at its foundation. I researched healthy buildings while designing and selecting the exterior fabric and internal finishes to ensure every inch of the building has been meticulously planned to ensure it’s self-sustaining and efficient. The house has a state-of-the-art air system that recycles the air every two hours to ensure the property stays at the same temperature. Woodhaven also has its own water filtration system, which is used to make on-site water. “We have a number of different packages available to make your special day as memorable as possible, but we’re more than happy to create a bespoke package to suit your needs. Our dedicated in-house team will provide you with exceptional and professional event management every step of the way.
