    Perfect from beginning to end

    We chose Bisham Abbey as we wanted to get married by the river as it meant something to us personally so Bisham Abbey felt like a natural choice. Melissa was so welcoming on our initial visit and answered all our questions including coming up with options such as an outside ceremony and allowing us to bring our dog for our ceremony on the day which was important to us. Throughout the planning process Melissa and Georgia were always approachable, so quick to reply and were always available for multiple meetings which was reassuring and calming. The tasting trial was incredible and gave us such joy in preparation for the day and excitement.
    We were able to come the day before to set up and Melissa was on hand for all questions and worries. The day of the wedding it was pouring with rain but Georgia was available from the beginning of the day helping with our vendors and providing anything we needed. Thankfully it stopped raining 20 minutes before the ceremony and we still had our outside ceremony under a marquee with outside canapes!
    The staff were incredible, the food was amazing, the transformation for the dancefloor created such an atmosphere for our evening party that our guests were blown away. Honestly I cannot praise enough the venue, the staff and the hardwork of Georgia and Melissa.
    On top, we stayed at the venue as well as a number of our guests and we got a great breakfast the next day!
    Altogether our day came together in the most perfect day for a fantastic price and a huge part of that was the venue and the team at Bisham Abbey so thank you.

    Made the day magical

    We had a British Persian Wedding and the venue totally embraced all our requests and helped us create the day we wanted. Everything was seamless from our perspective and the venue is gorgeous setting for a wedding.

    Incredible wedding venue - Bisham Abbey

    Melissa and Georgia were incredible throughout the process - so efficient and helpful.
    The venue itself is beautiful with incredible history and a lovely setting right on the river. It's also great that it has various different rooms for different things so people can find a quiet corner if they want to. Also pretty convenient for lots of people to get to, both from London and from the West of the country.

    The day itself went so smoothly, nothing was too much trouble and the special touches were brilliant. For instance a few people asked for non alcoholic substitutes for the toast and this was done straight away and the cake for the evening food was arranged beautifully. The food generally was incredible! So many people commented on it.

    We found that they were so much more flexible than most wedding venues - as long as we asked and agreed on things in advance, they were brilliant. There were no hidden costs, everything was up front and clear. All weddings of course are a lot of money but we felt that this was all great venue and we got a lot for our money.

    People were blown away by this venue - we'd 100% recommend it and would definitely do it all again there if we could.

    Excellent service in a beautiful venue

    We had a wonderful civil wedding ceremony for 45, with excellent lunch, followed by a party & dancing for 100. The Bisham Abbey staff were really good, responsive with queries and actioned our requests fast, including all dietary needs. The whole day went superbly, was really well executed. We had total confidence in our team.
    The venue has loads of space, and having the whole place to ourselves felt really special. Plus accommodation in the Abbey and more in the Sports Centre.
    It worked really brilliantly and we thoroughly recommend Meliss, Gerogia, Tom and their staff to make your day a triumph.

    Our perfect day!

    We had our wonderful wedding reception here at Bisham Abbey on 22nd July 2023 for 95 people, and we had the best day ever. The venue is absolutely stunning and we have had many compliments about it since. We had the wedding breakfast in the magnificent Great Hall which looks stunning in our photos. We were very thankful we chose this specific venue as it caters for all weather, which was handy when it rained on our wedding day. The Margaret Dickinson and Sonning rooms were invaluable when our outdoors drinks reception on the lawn was not possible due to the rain. The photos show the character of the rooms in the Abbey and it was brilliant that we could use all the rooms throughout our day, from the Elizabethan room for bridal prep and the Warwick room for our evening food. The lawn and beautiful backdrop of the river made it perfect for our wedding day, as we arrived from the Church by boat, despite the weather! The sports centre is only a 2-minute walk away made overnight accommodation for our guests easy and convenient, with good quality rooms and buffet breakfast.

    The food was amazing, we chose the beef, but some of our guests had the seabass and vegan options which they also enjoyed.

    Throughout our wedding planning process both Melissa and Georgia were fantastic. From meeting Melissa at an open-day, we were immediately impressed with her friendly yet professional attitude and helpful nature in comparison to other venue organisers we had spoken with. This is what gave us the confidence to make a booking the following week. Melissa was fantastic at answering all our questions and brilliant at giving us advice about some of those pre-wedding decisions. Melissa and Georgia went out of their way to accommodate our wishes for our big day but also provided their honest guidance and advice from their vast experience of planning weddings with other couples to make sure our day was perfect.

    Georgia was exceptional at keeping the day on plan. She is such an approachable but also professional person with impeccable organisational skills, particularly when leading her team during the wedding breakfast service. Many of our guests even complimented her on what an amazing job she was doing on the day itself.

    We would whole heartedly recommended Bisham Abbey as a wedding venue to anyone, honestly the best venue and the best team to host your wedding. We had a lovely enjoyable and most importantly stress free wedding day and felt very confident in putting all our trust in Melissa, Georgia, and the Bisham Abbey team. Thank you so much Melissa and Georgia for all of your help in making our wedding day the best day ever!

    Our perfect day

    Stunning venue, delicious food and a brilliant events team.

    Melissa and Georgia looked after us really well in the run up to the wedding, making sure we had everything organised, which took away all of the stress.

    Georgia was really brilliant on our wedding day. Everything was seamless. She arrived well before the start of the ceremony coordinating our suppliers and making sure we were both OK, we really didn’t have to worry about a thing all day! She even remembered all of our little requests.

    We would whole heartedly recommend Bisham Abbey as a wedding venue and send a huge thanks to the whole team. .

    Words fail me, excellent surroundings in this historic building, staff on point and value is out of this world.

    We had our wedding outside we couldn't fault the whole venue! Everything went to plan we wouldn't change a thing.
    All of our guest commented on how good the food and service that they received.
    Melissa and Georgia are very experienced and if you have any questions or issues they would soon radiate them.

    Wedding day 17/09/2022

    We had our wedding here on the 17th September 2022.
    Our wedding planner found Bisham Abbey for us after us not feeling comfortable with another venue we had booked. We are so glad she suggested Bisham as as soon as we met with Melissa we felt completely at ease and nothing ever seemed liked too much to ask.
    Our day was perfect and we are so glad that we choose it.
    Thank you so much

    A perfect venue and a supportive team.

    Our wedding at Bisham Abbey was perfect and we will have such wonderful memories of our special day. The day itself went by really smoothly which was largely due to the fantastic team at Bisham Abbey who prepared everything and guided us and the guests throughout the day.

    In terms of the process leading up to the wedding, we could not fault anything with the service we were provided. Melissa (the wedding coordinator) was really attentive, patient, responsive and accommodating with all of our requests. We want to thank her and the team for making our whole wedding experience such an enjoyable one :).
