De Vere Cotswold Water Park Reviews (56) Write a review Special day Venue Service By Mr and Mrs Harrison, on 04 Nov 2019Date of Wedding - 19 Oct 2019 Stacey was very good at keeping us up to date with our preperations and was very happy to answer any questions we had. On our wedding day Hugh and Anna were both very attentive and made sure we both were happy and anything they could help with, nothing was too much trouble. Really nice to have the extra touches left for us in the suite -rose petals on bed, champagne from staff, wedding card. Also when we arrived home from honeymoon to receive a card, personalised bar of chocolate and 1 year anniversary stay at the hotel. We both had a very enjoyable day, weather was lovely and the hotel with the lake made it special to us.Bestest Day Ever!!! Venue Service By Jessica Havard, on 07 Oct 2019Date of Wedding - 14 Sep 2019 On Saturday we got married at the hotel. We had the most amazing day and the weather was gorgeous. Huw and Anna were so helpful. Anna was always there making sure we were okay and tell us what was happening next. The hotel had an event on, on the Friday night and this meant I couldn’t get into the room the night before. I of course was uneasy about this as I would then not be able to set the room up on the Saturday. As promised though the venue did everything for me just how I wanted it! At the end of the night everything was packed away for us so we didn’t have to worry about anything. The food was amazing in all we had the perfect dayFantastic for weddings Venue Service By Steve Plumb, on 05 Sep 2019Date of Wedding - 01 Sep 2019 Held my daughters wedding here on 1/9/2019,they really did go the extra mile to ensure everything was just as we wanted it and to make my daughters special day exactly that.The venue and views were stunning,and the food were stunning.Hugh, Lewis and all the table staff managed the wedding and reception magnificently,stacey the wedding organiser was excellent throughout the whole of the planning process.Really can't praise the wedding and accommodation side of things enough.superheroes on the wedding day and the night bef Venue Service By Alexandra and William, on 27 Aug 2019Date of Wedding - 10 Aug 2019 Stacey was fantastic throughout the process, she has a great balanced of keeping everything organised and professional as well as engaging with the emotional side of the wedding. On the evening before the Wedding and on the day of the Wedding we had fantastic service from all the team- but particularly Lewis Tyler Gareth My partner described them as 'superheroes' on the wedding day and the night before. They checked on us continually throughout the day, sorted all our last min changes and queries on the day and the night before. They were all amazing. Venue Service By Paterson and Hunter, on 19 Aug 2019Date of Wedding - 27 Jul 2019 All of the team were really supportive. Both Stacey and Anna went above and beyond in both the preparations and on the day. Everyone commented on the professional standard of the hotel and the quality of the food at both the wedding breakfast and the evening buffet. Thank you for an amazing day.I can highly recommend the De Vere Cotswolds Water Venue Service By Claire White, on 19 Jun 2019Date of Wedding - 08 Jun 2019 I thought that the whole team who dealt with us were brilliant from start to finish. Stacey Renouf looked after us from our first meeting to view the hotel until our wedding day and was professional and accommodating and steered us in the right direction at all points, she was very calm and organised which reassured us and made the process very easy for us. I would like to recognise the gentleman who looked after us on the day and who was co-ordinating everything but I can't remember his name, again he was great as were all the staff. My guests had a wonderful day as did we and were impressed with the hotel, location and views along with the food.

We arranged a viewing at this venue around 18 months before and just walking into the reception I knew this is where I wanted to spend my wedding day. The venue is beautiful, the staff are helpful and friendly and there was nothing we could fault! During our 18 months of planning I was in constant contact with our wedding coordinator ‘Stacey’. No question was too big or small for them, no requirements or requests were too much either. I always got email replies straight away and they made me feel so relaxed that I could trust them with all of our plans. The day before the wedding, my bridesmaids and I all had a meal and were given a glass of bubbly to celebrate! They treated us like we were having the only wedding in the world. The morning of the wedding I had three members of staff (poly, lewis and Hugh), who helped run our wedding day. I never saw them without a smile on their face and were so helpful. Our day ran so smoothly and if there were any problems they would of sorted it as I wasn’t aware of anything. The whole day was just amazing, all the guests had a great day. We cannot thank the hotel and staff enough. Megan & Ian Wills Venue Service By Steel and Griffiths, on 22 May 2019Date of Wedding - 04 May 2019 Stacey was excellent, Gareth (FBM) was very attentive in the week leading up to the wedding which made it more special and a nice touch considering we just happened to bump into him when doing a last minute check. Hugh who looked after us on the day, I couldn't have asked for more and he made sure that everything I'd asked for in terms of additional decorating was done himself, it was perfect. Venue Service By Gemma Thompson, on 08 May 2019Date of Wedding - 03 May 2019 Stacey the wedding coordinator was excellent in helping us plan the day and was very knowledgeable in how the day should go. And on the day Hugh was brilliant in getting people to be where they should at certain times. The whole team was Brilliant Venue Service By Ian Gunyon, on 24 Apr 2019Date of Wedding - 20 Apr 2019 “We looked at a number of locations and chose the De Vere Cotswold Waterpark because of its location, views of the lake and our initial meetings with the staff at the venue. The build up to the event was led by Stacey, who was pro-active, friendly and supportive making the whole process easy from our initial meeting to the actual day. Nothing was too much trouble as we finalised the details for our big day and by listenign to her suggestions we are able ot tailor the day to exactly as we wanted it. We first met Gareth we were having our food and beverage tasting and he led the team on the actual day of the wedding, he kept everything to time with a smile and a laugh, again making sure everything was perfect. We also decided we wanted a "photo booth" on the day and Faye and Jon (the Two Bonnies) did an amazing job - some of the photos make me laugh out loud and everyone enjoyed the experience (with a copy of any photos to take away). I would recommend the location and the people who made our day so special. Truly everyone exceeded our expectations and we had the most amazing time. Thank you all.”felt like VIPs throughout the entire Venue Service By Emma DeMaio, on 24 Apr 2019Date of Wedding - 05 Apr 2019 Stacey, Gareth, Huw and Lewis provided an exceptional service.
