Dream venue

We booked Wasing Park back in April 2021 and got married on Friday 7th April 2023. Throughout the two years of liaising with Wasing we were amazed with their professional and effective responses, each and every member of the team that we spoke with were so kind, patient (we had lots of questions!) and professional. We had an in person look around the venue in April 2021 before we promptly booked, we then had our tasting in November 2022 and visited in January 2023 at the Winter Showcase. We had a zoom meeting where we discussed their very organised Event Planning excel spreadsheet, which was super helpful. The team and our fantastic wedding coordinator, Lucrecia, were amazing in the lead up to the wedding, checking in on us to make sure we were okay and all was in order. The catering team were fab, and were able to cater for our fully vegan wedding, which was very important to us. Nothing was ever too much of an ask for the Wasing team. When it came to the day, Lucrecia and all of the Wasing staff were fantastic, they ensured the day ran smoothly, that we had everything we needed and that everything was how it should be. The team are incredible and we are so grateful to everything they did to allow our day to be absolutely perfect. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. It was the only venue we viewed in person and we knew it was the one, it was booked within a week of our engagement! It is so lovely to have three options of where you can have your ceremony, the Castle Barn is simply beautiful and it’s great to have quirky and comfortable accommodation on site. Really convenient for our guests. When we were looking for venues, we wanted somewhere where we could do minimal styling and it still look absolutely stunning. It has so many stunning locations for pictures and the honeymoon suite is a non negotiable! I would wholeheartedly recommend Wasing Park for your dream wedding venue, you won’t regret it! From the incredible staff to the unbeatable setting, it really is the perfect wedding venue. Thank you to all Wasing staff for making our day absolutely perfect.

Perfect in every way!

We booked Wasing Park for our December wedding, and it was the best decision we have ever made!
The whole process was seamless, from the communication in the build up, to the logistics of the day, to the incredible venue itself.
The food, the views, the service, everything was spot on - particularly our event manager on the day (Imogen), who made sure that the day went off without a hitch! She handled everything we asked with zero fuss and a smile - allowing us to both relax and enjoy the happiest day of our lives.
Tons of our guests said Wasing Park was the nicest wedding venue they had ever been to, and I have to agree! Thank you!!

Incredibly special!

We had a magical festive wedding and were made to feel so special right from the first moment. Our wedding co-ordinator Lucrecia planned everything to perfection and all of our personal requests, such as a Christmas dairy free dinner, sparklers, a Father Christmas visit and special champagne were catered for without question. She also gave us some time alone together during the day so we could take a step back and take in all those special moments! The food was outstanding, the day organised to perfection and the venue was so beautiful, everything was exactly as we expected wanted.

The best day of our lives

We got married at Wasing Park two weeks ago. The whole experience was fantastic from start to finish. We fell in love with the venue as soon as visited back in 2021.
We were assigned Emma Norton as our event manager who was fantastic in the lead up and even better on the day.
Many of our guests said this was the best wedding they’ve been to referencing the high quality of the food and the attentiveness of the staff.
Thank you Wasing Park for helping to make our wedding day the best day of our lives.

Exceptional service

Noni and the rest of the staff were absolutely fantastic in the build up and on the day of our wedding. They were there to help us anytime we needed it, always there to offer a top up (which is always nice) and ensured that my partner and I could sit back and enjoy our special day. The food was absolutely exceptional, which all of our guests mentioned as well and we just had the best day. We couldn't recommend them enough!

Perfect venue for our wedding day

Wasing Park was perfect for us, and had everything we were after. Everything is there that you could need on site: we even got married on the little church on site, the barn is amazing, and lots of accommodation on site for all our family and friends.
The food and service was brilliant throughout, and got lots of compliments.
The staff are highly organised and helped to answer all our questions and make sure it all ran smoothly on the day.
Loved it here and would recommend to anyone.

Our dream wedding day

The moment we viewed Wasing Park, we knew it was our dream wedding venue. From the picturesque grounds to the friendly staff, we couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else. From start to finish the experience and service was faultless and we felt safe in the hands of the Wasing event team in the lead up to our big day. Each and every member of staff we spoke with were so attentive and professional and could not do enough to make sure our questions were answered. They were always so friendly and patient and ensured that the planning went as smooth as stress-free as possible. We had many meetings with the event team through the lead up to our wedding including a fabulous food tasting session so we could pick our menu choices. The food was incredible, and a lovely touch in the lead up to the wedding, not only to pick food choices but to see the Castle Barn and Garden Room set up as a wedding would be, alongside meeting some of the recommended suppliers. We met with Lucrecia who was our Wedding Coordinator a few weeks before our wedding and she was just incredible and made our day unforgettable! Lucrecia ensured the day ran smoothly, was attentive and kept us topped up with drinks and canapes! She understood how we wanted the venue to be set up, and everything was absolutely perfect on the day, just as we envisioned it to be. On the day Lucrecia took away any stress from us and we didn't need to think about anything so we could enjoy every moment with our family and friends. We had so many compliments from our guests, including the high quality of food and how delicious and well presented it was, the professionalism of the waiters and waitresses and how stunning Wasing is as a Wedding Venue. We loved that no matter the weather, there was enough space to be inside and still use the outside terrace, which is lit up in the evening and looks beautiful. When we went to the honeymoon suite, there was a bottle of prosecco and pizza for us which was a lovely touch. Thank you again Wasing for our fairytale x

Our Dream Wedding

From the moment we enquired with Wasing Park, right through to the big day itself, the team have been absolutely amazing! No request was too big and they always got back to our queries straight away. Imogen (our Weddings Manager) was amazing - so patient when answering our never ending questions and changes to the itinerary and she made the day run seamlessly. She even saved my dress from being stained after I spilled one of the delicious canapés down myself straight after the ceremony! Neither myself nor my partner drink, but Imogen went above and beyond to make sure we had delicious non-alcoholic options available and we even had flowers in our champagne flutes of water!
The venue itself is stunning. From the Garden Room, to the Summerhouse and to the Castle Barn - you really don’t have to add much styling to any of the spaces as they are already stunning. We also loved having accommodation onsite so our friends and family could stay and have a farewell breakfast before ending the celebrations.
We had the most perfect day and can’t recommend Wasing and the team enough!

The best day of our lives🤍

I cannot recommend Wasing more, it is the perfect wedding venue. From point of show round through to the day itself, the team were fantastic. On the day our event manager, Nikki, was perfect. She put us both at ease in the lead up, and was such a great support on the day. We were so lucky to have her as our event manager! The day ran seamlessly from start to finish, we were unlucky with the weather but The Garden Room was lovely for our ceremony and drinks reception, and the Barn looked amazing for the Wedding Breakfast! I would definitely recommend taking the nine suites package, as being at Kitts the morning of with all my bridesmaids and mum was so lovely. The food was great, all of our guests were complimenting it throughout the evening and the days after, and the chefs were very understanding as we had a guest with severe allergies. The drinks were event better, I highly recommend the Picpoul and Malbec!!

We honestly had the best day of our lives, and I cannot thank the team at Wasing enough for making it so perfect.

Faultless, the most amazing venue there is!

Choosing Wasing Park as our wedding venue was the best decision we have ever made! From the moment we saw the venue online, we knew it was the one. From start to finish, the planning process was made super easy by the team. As we got into the lead up of the wedding, our amazing wedding planner Emma had everything under control to manage our stresses. On the day, Emma was there waiting with Pimms in hand as soon as we had said 'I do', we had our own canape selection ready and waiting for us when doing the photos, and before we had to ask Emma about certain parts of the day it was all handled with and Emma was 10 steps ahead. Emma, we thank you for making our day stress free and allowing us to soak in every minute. The best touch of the night was having water, prosecco and leftover pizza and doughnuts waiting in our suite for us!! The waiting staff were impeccable and did not go unnoticed of how professional they were. The food was the best we have eaten the aesthetics of Wasing are still being talked about now.

Just thank you!!!!

No words - incredible

We had our wedding at Wasing Park on 8th July 2023, and honestly, we cannot fault a single thing. From start the finish, the event management team were on hand to help. Nothing was too much to ask and all of our questions were very quickly resolved. The actual venue itself is beautiful, so many of our guests were blown away and we received so many comments of the food being the best they've ever eaten at a wedding. A special shoutout has to go to our dedicated events manager, Noni who helped make our day so special. Not once did we have to think about anything aside from enjoying the day and taking it all in. The attention to detail is outstanding. If you're considering Wasing Park - it'll be the best decision you make. We can't thank you enough for everything. X

Can we do it all over again?!

What a day! Wasing Park is magical. The stress is taken away because everything you need is on one site, once everyone is there you can enjoy the day from start to finish.

The girls stayed at Kitts Cottage the night before and we took use of the Old Farmhouse for the boys. The night before the wedding the bridal party all went out down the road to the Butts Inn pub for a meal and drinks before heading back to the Wasing Estate and our separare overnight accommodation. It was nice to start the wedding celebrations early.

We married in St Nicholas Church, Jane was our Priest and made everyone feel part of the ceremony. The welcome drinks went down a treat. The food is amazing - both presentation and the quality of food. Our wedding event manager Lucrecia put aside some canapes and a drink for us both so we could have some time together after we'd been taken away for our photos. We had the lamb as a main and it was cooked to perfection.

We came into the castle barn before the wedding breakfast and I was blown away by the set up, it's worth paying for the extra fairy lights to give it the 'wow' factor. No sooner have you finished the meal it's time to get the party started! We had the separate cocktail station which was set up next to the dance floor - we stayed on the dancefloor the whole night - reaching over every now and then for a cocktail to rehydrate (!) and dance again

Our guests loved the venue, it is stunning. We've had our first preview photos back and the backdrops from the Church to the countryside just make us want to relive it and do the whole thing again!

A lot of our guests stayed over in the on site accommodation overnight after the wedding. They get a link to make the bookings and pay themselves (outside of the package accommodation) so again, it's one less stress for yuo to worry about. Breakfast was lovely the next morning all together, with the stories of the day and night before beginning!

The Wedding staff walk you through the arrangements with a planner to complete by specific dates so you keep on track and keep a record of what you still have to do. In the final couple of weeks in the lead up to the wedding I put in a couple of calls panic checking on things and the girls were always friendly and happy to help.

You won't be disappointed, your wedding at Wasing will be the best day ever!! x
