Our wedding review 24Apr26

We had an amazing wedding day in April at the De Vere Latimer Estate. The weather made it extra special highlighting the beautiful location overlooking the river Chess.
The staff were very accommodating as the bride is coeliac and there were other allergies in the party. The food was amazing and made gluten free throughout the drinks reception canapes and wedding breakfast through to the evening reception.
Detailed planning sessions with Amy and Bea from arranging the date right up to the big day. Everything we hoped would be our special day came to life.
We had the luxury package which included wedding stationery and the DJ and drinks for the reception and dinner.
We loved that everything from the ceremony to the evening party was all in one place and our guests could stay overnight. There's plenty of accommodation and parking. Feedback from our guests was that they were very impressed with the venue and had a great day.
Great value for money (note you need to pay for the registrars separately, this isn't included as part of the wedding package). We highly recommend the venue for your wedding.

Alexandra and Michael Fisher Wedding 04/07/26

One word for Immy, Alex, Daniel, Chef Steve and the Latimer team. Wow.

From the very start knowing that we were having Immy as our wedding co-ordinator, we knew she was going to plan our wedding down to the very last detail. Immy have been outstanding, kind, professional, honestly just amazing!! The venue, the rooms, the food plus the dietary requirements, the flow of the weekend were completely flawless! We had a number of guests commenting on all of those things on how everything was perfect!

Alex and Daniel (the event managers of the day) on the weekend of our wedding were incredible, such lovely men and making sure we were fine and enjoying ourselves! Both men communicating with us all the time, making sure everything is what we wanted for our wedding day!

I have to say a big shoutout to the Chef Steve and his team, the food was incredible, from portion sizes to tastes, the pizzas in the evening went down amazingly, we can't thank them enough!

The other members of the Latimer team were fantastic as well, my husband’s uncle got slightly confused on the Saturday regarding the time of the wedding and the member of staff (didn't know his or hers name) made him a cup of tea to calm him down. Also, on Sunday when he was due to go, a member of Latimer staff called Angie who helped him for directions for the M25 and actually drove her car to help him because he got all confused!! Those little details mean the world to us!!

Immy and the Latimer team, our wedding is what I have wished for all my life and you gave that to us and exceeded the expectations, we are still smiling today on how it all went and how we made the right decision going for Latimer house as our wedding reception!!

Future couples, you will not regret choosing Latimer House as your wedding venue, just go for it!!

Stunning Venue and Amazing Staff Team

We recently had our wedding reception at this beautiful venue, and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice. The venue itself is absolutely stunning and provided the perfect setting for our special day.

A huge thank you to our wedding planner, Amy Burridge, who was exceptional from start to finish. She always went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of and made the whole planning process so much easier and stress-free.

We’d also like to give special recognition to Alex, the Events Manager, and Lucy, the supervisor on the day, who were both fantastic. The bar staff and waiting staff were equally impressive—nothing was ever too much trouble, and they looked after us and our guests so well.

A very special mention must go to Daniel, who consistently went above and beyond every time we visited the venue. He was incredibly helpful, particularly when assisting us with setting up the day before the wedding, and his kindness and dedication did not go unnoticed.

So many of our guests commented on how wonderful, friendly, and attentive all the staff were, which really helped make our day so memorable.

Thank you to everyone involved for making our wedding day so special. We would wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a truly beautiful location with an outstanding team of people who genuinely care about making your day perfect.

Our Special Day

Amazing day the staff were amazing, the weather was unpredictable , we had all seasons in one day apart from snow.
I loved wearing my dress even if I did trip on it a few times.
The venue let us set up the night before and Alex was brilliant clearing the room after the event, was dreading the clear up mission, all our decorations were put in a room near the main door.
Easier to pack up and load cars.
Although I was nervous getting ready the staff made me feel at ease and talked me through the whole day of what was happening next.
Feel ready for a good nights sleep.

Highly recommend De Vere Latimer

We got married at De Vere Latimer on 27th Sep 2025, it was the most amazing day and everything we hoped it would be and more! Amy was our wedding co-ordinator and she was absolutely brilliant! Always so responsive and professional despite my multiple questions in the run up to the day. We got married in the Cavendish Suite which is stunning with amazing chandeliers, and the grounds are absolutely breathtaking. All of our guests commented how amazing the venue was. We felt it was great value for money compared to the other venues that we also visited locally, and it lived up to every expectation with lots of extras included in the package we chose such as the DJ and stationary. We had multiple event managers supporting on the day and it ran smoothly, with everyone commenting how much fun they had. We can’t thank Latimer enough for everything and would highly recommend to any future couples getting married.

Wedding May 2025

We booked this venue for our wedding in May 2025 about 1.5 years before the date, and spoke to Amy all throughout our journey. She was always super helpful and quick at being able to help us. We had so many questions along the way, and we were never made to feel like they were stupid. Amy was also very flexible, with our timings, things we wanted to use in the venue, etc. Nothing ever felt like too much. The accommodation and grounds are stunning, our guests are still talking about, and many even made sure they used the hotel facilities and walked around the grounds whilst staying. We did the dry hire package due to having a Hindu ceremony and Civil ceremony, and the value for money in terms of space we were able to use was really good. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful wedding at Latimer House 🤍

We recently got married at De Vere Latimer House and we had the most amazing day🤍
Jess was our Event Manager and she was incredible from start to finish! Her communication, advice and support was 10/10. Jess went above and beyond and made the planning process stress free.
Bea and Nick (toastmaster) were incredible on the day and made sure the day ran smoothly.
I would highly recommend getting married here and wish we could do it all over again.

The best Wedding Venue for our perfect wedding at Latimer De Vere Estate.

We had our wedding at Latimer De Vere Estate and it was everything we dreamed of and more. The venue itself is stunning – a hidden gem with breathtaking views and a magical atmosphere. The staff were incredible from start to finish, so friendly and attentive. A huge thank you to Amy, our amazing wedding planner, who made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. We’re still reminiscing about our day and truly wish we could do it all over again. Highly, highly recommend.

Perfect Wedding Venue

From the second we saw Latimer, we knew it ticked all of our wedding venue boxes. Beautiful indoors and outdoors, accessible and laid out close together, accommodation on site, confident and friendly staff, and an absolutely awesome staircase.

Jess made us feel so relaxed from day one (which is quite impressive as we're both quite highly strung) and walked us through everything we needed to know at every point of the process. We were so pleased with how the venue catered to all of our requests including many complicated dietary restrictions, a coeliac bride, a first look on the iconic staircase, incorporating traditional liquor from my family, an L shaped aisle, and organising a pre-wedding day meal for our guests.

When the day before the wedding arrived, we felt so at ease from the second we arrived and knew exactly how to contact our on-the-day coordinator (Bea) for anything we needed. We both had gorgeous rooms to get ready in and everything on the wedding day ran with complete professional precision.
We were so happy with how the day went at the time, and looking back we can't find a single thing we could fault. Latimer made our day literally and completely perfect!

We will cherish the beautiful memories we made there forever and can't recommend them enough - we know we made the 100% right choice to host our special day here. Thank you so much Jess, Bea and the rest of the Latimer team.

Scenic wedding venue

Planned my wedding event at Latimer Estate and it turned out perfectly! A real hidden gem of a venue as I hadn’t come across this venue in my initial search. Venue capacitates for up to 200 (less if you include stage) and holds an extensive lawn area which can be used for event. This was ideal for guests to go out onto, especially if weather conditions are good. The best backdrop for photos, and to be honest the whole venue has different areas which are great photo shots. Staff were very efficient on the day and wedding team at Latimer were helpful throughout the planning process till the wedding day.
Suites available for guests and couples are of very good standard. Would definitely recommend booking either for wedding venue or stay over trip.

Our perfect wedding day

We knew from soon after we got engaged that De Vere Latimer would be top of our list of potential venues. After a bit of searching we booked a meeting with Jess, the weddings coordinator and quickly our minds were made up. We set our date for 7th December 2024 and started planning!
Jess and her team were incredible throughout the whole planning process, giving us advice and reassurance and scheduling meetings at various points to ensure everything was on schedule.
Nothing was ever too much trouble and our experience was really enjoyable. It was so nice to feel confident that a bulk of the planning was taken care of by true professionals who have run hundreds of weddings and really know their stuff in the industry.
It was small stuff like Jess suggesting we had our ceremony a little earlier at noon to make the most of the daylight, which we wouldn’t have necessarily considered. We were also able to invite our dog for some of the day for some photos, which truly meant the world.
Jess organised for us to enjoy a fabulous menu tasting. Where to begin with the food… the choices, the menus and the quality of the food was absolutely fantastic. We had so many compliments on the day by our guests who loved our wedding breakfast. We were all wined and dined all day long with canapés, drinks, a three course dinner and food into the evening, with the wood fired pizzas being a huge hit with our guests.
We enjoyed the most incredible, emotional and fun filled day from start to finish, fully supported by Jess, Karina and Bea who were amazing all day long. They could not have done more for us. They helped to coordinate our beautiful ceremony room, set up our eating area and brought all of our dreams to reality with a gift table, Christmas tree, cheese stack and cake which they even decorated for us.
We had a wonderful toastmaster, Nick, on the day who helped the day flow.
From saying our vows in the Cavendish Suite to enjoying our three course dinner and then dancing the night away with our live band, our guests enjoyed spilling out into the Huntley Bar to recline on sofas and enjoy sparklers on the steps of the mansion. It was magical.
We can’t put into words how pleased we are that we chose De Vere Latimer as our wedding venue and it will always hold a special place in our hearts.
Thank you particularly to Jess, Karina and Bea.
Thank you thank you thank you!

Perfect wedding venue

We are still on such a natural high from the perfect day! 
 
Thanks must go to both Jessica (our wedding manager) and Bea (our wedding coordinator on the day) for being so helpful and kind, Bea deserves a promotion.
 
We had the most wonderful perfect day it couldn’t have gone any better! We can’t stop smiling! 
 
The venue is truly amazing! We had a small intimate wedding with just 32 including ourselves and the room worked perfectly creating a relaxed day which everyone loved and commented as much.

Our photographer Karolina was inspired by the most beautiful setting she even stayed longer to capture the essence of the surroundings.
 
We have the most wonderful memories, thank you for helping make those happen!

A beautiful wedding venue with superb service

Latimer House provided the perfect location for our civil ceremony - the Cheyne room was a gorgeous setting for both the ceremony and the dinner with a beautiful backdrop over the Chess Valley, and the library provided a cosy yet classy space to drink champagne and enjoy the moment with family. The backdrop of the impressive manor house, carriage driveway and valley have made for fantastic photos. Our overnight stay in the Junior Suite was included; the room was spacious, clean and incredibly comfortable with a nice view. All the staff were very attentive throughout our time there and we felt well-looked after. Everything went smoothly with not a thing out of place. Thank you also to the wedding team in the months leading up to the day, they made it easy and stress-free to plan the details. Thank you for making our day special, we have enjoyed the many compliments from our families who joined us - we will be back!

Amazing wedding venue


We had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at De Vere Latimer estate in June 2024.

We had Jess as our events manager and she made all the planning so simple and easy. We got to catch up with her before the wedding at different points to make sure we were all on schedule and to answer all our questions.

On the day before the wedding and on the day itself it was wonderful to have Jess around as she offered all the last min support we needed and put us at ease.

We had the wonderful Karina running the day, keeping across the set up, suppliers and guests’ needs. She made sure everything flowed smoothly and she would handle any requests we had straight away.
She is a massive asset to the venue and anybody getting married will be lucky to have her run the day!

The food was delicious and even ticked all the boxes for our most picky eaters.
Lots of the guests commented that this was the best wedding food they have ever had!

The venue both inside and outside created amazing opportunities for our photographer to take beautiful shots.

I cannot thank the whole team enough for making it the most memorable day of our lives.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
