An absolute fantastic wedding venue! Perfect!

Had such a wonderful wedding day and this was largely down to having our wedding reception at the Holiday Inn Reading West.
Their service through-out the day was immaculate. We were married at a church but had our wedding breakfast and evening reception at the hotel and it was absolutely faultless.
The arrival at the hotel after the church service was perfect - we were greeted warmly and our guests entertained.
The wedding breakfast was perfect - the food absolutely lovely and served within minutes to around 60 guests.
The evening reception was equally perfect, lovely food, brilliant service from superb staff. The hotel also has some wonderful settings for photos, particularly the courtyard.
I can genuinely say the whole experience at this venue was perfect. A particular thanks to Dylan, who organised everything and kept things ticking along smoothly - he was fantastic for us.
Would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a stress free, well organised wedding reception!!

We all had an amazing day.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and all your staff for all the hard work that went into making Phil and Gemma's wedding day run so smoothly. The food was faultless, as was the service not only in the run up to the wedding but throughout the entire weekend. We all had an amazing day and even the sun managed to shine. We will certainly have no hesitation in recommending your hotel.

Everything was perfect!

Everything was perfect. We couldn't have asked for anymore from you.
Please say thank you to your catering staff, as the food was lovely. Lots of comments from the guests saying the sit down meal was very tasty.
Thank you for taking the 'stress factor' off us for the day. We were impressed with all of your help. It was a brilliant day and Joanne and John were so thrilled with everything.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
