Indian October Wedding 2025

We booked De Vere Wokefield for our Indian wedding, civil ceremony and evening reception. We fell in love with the venue from the first viewing and we are so happy that we booked it. We were able to make use of all the main rooms which was such a bonus as many venues just off. We booked through Louise who was brilliant from start to finish and the team on the day were amazing. We also organized a pre-wedding private dinner the night before for our family and friends which was AMAZING. The amount of food we got for the price and the service was 10/10. The bridal suite and rooms were also great, all our guests were really happy with them and we were also able to use the grounds for our pictures. Louise was always quick to respond with my 100s of questions and when she was away, the team (Tasha) always stepped in. We felt very supported along the way and our vendors were all very familiar with the venue which really helped. I Would highly recommend getting wedding day coordinators if you are having multiple events/ceremonies and using lots of the rooms. It was the game changer for our day and meant all we had to do was enjoy the way and not worry about a to-do list - we used Array Events for ours and i cannot recommend them enough. I would highly recommend De Vere Wokefield, it was everything we wanted and we even got a lovely personalized gift from the venue after our wedding too which was such a nice touch!

Amazing Venue

Wokefield was one of the first venues we looked at. We instantly fell in love with the place. The building, the decor, the outside areas. It was just beautiful. I booked to view the venue back in the August of 2024. We met with Louise and what I loved after then seeing some other venues was, she sat us both down and asked what we were looking for. What we wanted and what we were expecting. Any other venue we went to I just didn't feel like they engaged with us like Louise did. She then showed us round and I think I already knew this was going to be our venue. Just everything about the place was perfect. Once confirmed that was it, we were locked in and ready to go. I cannot fault any of the staff at Wokefield, their professionalism, the friendliness of all the staff, they really do care about you having the perfect day. Nothing was too big or too small for Louise. I would contact her about even the smallest thing, and she always answered with a smile. We did view the venue a couple of times before our big day and even then, I was so excited that this was going to be our venue. The big day rolled around so quickly. We stayed the night before so that we could get all the decorations and other bits at the venue. The day arrived and everyone at Wokefield was just amazing and cannot thank them enough for everything they did. All the decorations were put out exactly how I wanted them, Vanessa suggested that we move the cake into the middle of the room as we had some space, and it was too good to leave in the corner. The whole day just ran so smoothly and even now thinking about the day it just brings a smile to my face. I know we chose the right place to get married. Even down to the smallest details like the room being all ready for us when we got back there after it had ended. There being cake for us to have so that we got to try it and the rose petals on the bed. I will be going back to have afternoon tea just so I can be back at the venue again. Thank you to everyone at Wokefield for making our day so special we were blown away with how much care was put in to our big day. It was literally the perfect day for us.

De Vere Wokefield Estate Wedding September 2025

I don’t normally write reviews but I wanted to write this because of the outstanding service we received from all of the staff at De Vere Wokefield estate for our wedding in September 2025. The day itself was absolutely perfect and I wouldn’t have changed a single thing about it. Louise was with us from the beginning and to be honest was one of the main reasons we chose De Vere over other venues we had looked at. Louise answered every question, query or request in a professional manner and was very easy to work with. When we got close to the wedding Louise was able to take a lot of the stress and worry away from us which was good because it is a really stressful time. Tasha was also excellent during Louise’s leave period and was able to be up to speed and deal with everything just as efficiently and professionally. All of the staff were brilliant on the day. Vanessa was simply excellent on the day and also her daughter Sophie who took over in the evening. It was because of all the staff that everyone was able to relax and enjoy themselves. I received so much positive feedback from our guests about the hotel and the grounds, quite a few of them live in Reading and could not believe such a beautiful place was so close to them. Amazing venue, Amazing staff.

The wedding of our dreams 💕

Having our wedding at De Vere Wokefield was our dream come true. Tasha and the team went above and beyond at every turn to make our wedding day the day of our dreams, and we thank our lucky stars the stunning venue was available for the best day of our lives. The ambience, the food, the views are all second to none and we truly felt like royalty from our first show round to breakfast the day after the wedding. Thank you to everyone involved, it was truly magical.

Beautiful venue with amazing staff!

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Wokefield Estate for our wedding! From start to finish, Louise and her team went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect. They were always happy to accommodate any additional requests we had, showing a commitment to making our wedding as personal and special as possible.

On the big day Vanessa and the team took care of everything, allowing us to relax and enjoy the moment. Their professionalism and friendliness really stood out and made us feel so at ease. The grounds and rooms of Mansion House were also beautiful, and we loved being able to celebrate in such a stunning location!

Overall, the entire process was extremely enjoyable, and we are so glad we chose Wokefield Estate as our wedding venue. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful setting that will offer personalised touches to celebrate their special day!

The most beautiful, smooth sailing wedding day

We would also like to thank you and the whole team for such an amazing day. The whole thing ran smoothly from start to finish. In particular you, Louise and Vanessa were flawless, sorting out minor hiccups like the post box without me even needing to know!

You kept us so calm and organised in the build up so we didn’t have a single worry on the day. The toastmaster was incredible, we wouldn’t have any clue what to do or when without him!

Nothing was too much trouble for anyone, whether it was collecting family members for photos or letting us escape for 10mins!

We had an incredible day, thank you for making it so memorable!

Thank you again

Amazing venue and brilliant staff

Our wedding was incredible and it could not have been done without our wedding co-ordinater Louise! We loved the venue straight away with its stunning grounds and beautiful rooms! We were praying for an outdoor wedding but sadly the British weather had it’s way but the team were brilliant supporting us to make a decision and moving us inside to make the ceremony gorgeous! All the staff were really lovely and super helpful on the day! My husband and I sat the day after and said we could not have asked for any more from the team there and we had the best day!

Perfect Wedding, Finally!

You would have thought organising a Wedding with the ever changing conditions of a Pandemic would be stressful, however with the incredible staff on hand at the DeVere, this process was no more stressful than booking a table at a restaurant.

Nattasia and Tasha were both incredibly helpful, with Tasha being on furlough for a year she still kept in contact with us keeping us updated.

When we had to re book, and rebook again the venue were an absolute pleasure to deal with and there was never a hint of a post covid price hike or additional add ons, in fact we even got a second food tasting as the menu had changed.

Me and my wife had some very odd and bespoke requests which were all dealt with with a smile and an open mind.

On the day despite there being a few speedbumps the venue staff handled them without my wife ever knowing about them, which I would recommend to any Man that this be a target! It is her day afterall.

Once the ceremony started my job was done and at no point through the day were we bothered with issues. Everything just happened! And they happened exactly as we asked. The only anxious moment was when we realised we had totally forgotten about a few things not mentioned for 18 months. But perhaps unsurprisingly the venue staff dealt with them exactly as we had requested in 2019.

Our hotel room was exquisite! Holly did an amazing job to make the room the room an absolute joy to come back too after our wedding breakfast! Gifts balloons and Champagne all laid on unexpectedly, as well as some very cute cuddly toys which we were encouraged to take with us as a memento, to which ablighed!

The food was amazing and venue just perfect.
This really was the wedding of our dreams and could not have been better dealt with.

I cannot recommend the DeVere enough for a Wedding venue, especially after the horror stories we heard from other friends who weren't so lucky to be here for their postponed weddings over the last few years.

5 stars all day long!

Finally Married

We booked a ceremony and wedding breakfast with Wokefield that unfortunately we had to cancel due to lockdown. Our experience with Wokefield from day one was positive. We Had Tasha as our wedding planner and she was so friendly and helpful, always happy to help. As soon as the government said weddings could not go ahead, Wokefield contacted us and made that whole process easy to handle. When weddings were allowed again we contacted Wokefield again so we could just do a ceremony and again the customer service was great, friendly staff who are happy to accommodate your needs. On the day they gave us a golf buggy to be able to take our wedding photos and a nice member of staff called Bevin drove us around and helped us on a very hot day. I would highly recommend Wokefield as a wedding venue, it is picturesque and the staff really do make the process easy in what can be a stressful time.

Firstly yourself for being with us since the first booking and putting us at ease after a bad experience with De Vere Latimer Estate, even little things on the day like getting a meal changed for Karl's step dad as he ordered the wrong thing and helping my mum with her corsage. You made getting married 3 hours away from where we live so easy. You were always our first point of contact and always got back to any requests as quick as possible. You really were amazing!
Damian, he could not do enough for us, anything we asked for he made sure he sorted it. The restaurant on Friday was fully booked but he made sure he got us a table. Again with getting Karl a slot to play golf. He never made us feel like anything was too much. We has asked for Karl's dad to have coke on the table for the wedding breakfast as he can't have alcohol due to medical reasons and Damian made sure it was on there ready for him, little things like this are what make the day special.
Liam, same as above and he was really good at going through the paperwork with me and making sure they had everything down. He even took me through the wedding room at 11pm the night before so he could make sure everything was right.
Rachel, she worked the bar and any time we were in the building she would come and have a chat and let us know little tips on how things have worked for previous weddings to give us some ideas, she even showed us the pop up bar on a previous visit so we could see it and we really appreciated everything she did.

Best Day of Our Lives

We had our Civil Wedding and Engagement ceremony at this beautiful De Vere hotel earlier this year and we had the best day of our lives. Everything ran so smoothly, the staff (in particular Andy from Operations and Natasha from wedding & events were great! The lengths they went to ensure our day was perfect was really appreciated and all our family and friends were very impressed with the venue. The hospitality I was provided for my stay by Andy was excellent aswell and he made me feel very at ease before my big day. Overall, I couldn’t recommend this venue enough, not only is it beautiful from the inside and outside but the staff are very accommodating. Thank you to the De Vere team.

Stepping into the world of weddings has been an absolute dream! Although I’m still new to the industry, with just under a year of experience, my passion for weddings runs deep. There’s something truly magical about being entrusted with a couple’s vision—their hopes, dreams, and unique love story—and working hand in hand to bring it to life. The excitement of coordinating a wedding, feeling the rush of anticipation as everything unfolds, and witnessing that moment when the couple’s dream becomes a breath-taking reality is simply exciting. It’s a journey filled with joy, creativity, and heartfelt emotion, and knowing that I’ve played a part in making their special day truly unforgettable, fills me with so much happiness and pride!
