The best day of our lives

It is really difficult to put into words just how grateful we are to Greenlands and the team there for hosting our wedding celebrations. From start to finish, their patience, attention to detail and sincerity in making our day as special and stress-free as possible was second to none. We had the best days of our lives that day, and it’s thanks to the team, in particular Sophie and Angela who went above and beyond. We felt as though we had the place all to ourself and everything we asked for was accounted for. If you are considering Greenlands as a venue, all I can say is I would recommend it wholeheartedly. You won’t find better value for money anywhere.

Wonderful riverside venue

Very professional, helpful and friendly service before, during and after the event. We got so many compliments from guests on the choice of venue, the food, the staff. Our day went perfectly thanks to great planning beforehand and management on the day. A wonderful setting for our special day that we would highly recommend, especially as we love the river.

Excellent wedding venue. Highly recommended

We had a wonderful wedding day at Henley Greenlands. It is an amazing venue and we felt very proud to be getting married there. The staff were fantastic and really made the whole experience extra special as well as ensuring that they left no stone unturned in the run up. They were very accommodating with all of our requirements. The food was excellent and the fact that guests could stay on site was a huge bonus. We would highly recommend this venue!

Outstanding

We cannot recommend Greenlands Hotel enough for anyone looking for the perfect wedding venue. It exceeded all expectations and left a lasting impression on everyone in attendance. If you're searching for a venue that combines elegance, charm, and impeccable service, look no further.
The staff [especially Paula] were incredibly attentive and professional, ensuring that every detail was meticulously taken care of. The food was just to die for, every one of our guests said it was the best wedding meal they had ever had!
It provides a perfect backdrop for photos as it’s right on the River Thames & has beautiful modern bedrooms for the guests to stay in.
I wish we could do it all again! Thank you Greenlands for giving us the most perfect day.

5 Starts for Greenlands

* Visually a perfect venue, amazing photo options with the classic building, river backdrop, trees, small garden, green.
* Abbie from Greenlands (wedding coordinator) made sure every detail was seen to without causing any stress on our parts. Abbie just made things work, no matter how unusual the request.
* The staff were polite, helpful and on the day you barely knew they were there.
* The hotel on site could cater for all ages and needs (inc elderly guests)
* Having everything on site and the option of indoor or outdoor wedding ticked so many boxes.
* The food is amazing and the bar offer is good value.
* Could not recommend this venue enough.

Perfect for a small to medium sized wedding

We recently celebrated my husband’s 50th at Greenland’s, and wished we’d got married there! It was the perfect venue for our group of about 30. Beautiful grounds and building, and we had the use of several lovely rooms. Paula the events coordinator was so helpful and flexible, and made sure that every detail was delivered just how we’d asked. As we don’t live in the area it was so great to have someone so fantastic in charge. Paula even put us in touch with a local fireworks company, who did an amazing display for us at the end of the evening.

The food and service on the day was perfect, and everything went so smoothly I was able to relax and enjoy the day. The kids had a fantastic time running around the grounds when they needed to let off steam.

Our guests were very happy with the party and the accommodation, and several spent a very enjoyable day after in Henley. My only regret is that I didn’t warn people how bad the traffic is coming through the town!

Another very happy couple

Our wedding celebrations at Greenlands were perfect and could not have run more smoothly from start to finish. Dereck and Paula were instrumental in organising and delivering the entire package, and we were thrilled with the service we received at all points during the planning stage too. From the outset we knew exactly what we wanted and they listened carefully, helping us to put together our special day, and even where last minute difficulties arose, nothing was too much trouble. All our family and friends were equally as impressed and received excellent service from every member of the team. We would highly recommend a wedding or other celebration here as not only has the Thames provided a beautiful back drop for our photographs, but the attention to detail and care for the day exhibited by the staff made it absolutely magical.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
