Nic Sent on 21/08/2023Stress-free wedding
My (now) wife and I got married here in August 2023. The staff were nothing short of superb — Jess was phenomenal during the planning and was always on hand to answer any queries we had. Petkov was incredible during the day, helping things run as smoothly as possible, and the chef... just wow.
When people come up to you days after and talk about how unexpectedly good the food was, when they were already expecting quality from foodies like us, it is testament to the chef’s abilities. He was also incredibly accommodating when a guest was waylaid, changing plans last-minute to ensure everyone was happy and fed.
The grounds were utterly spectacular — not even the rain could put a dampener on the day, and there is plenty to see indoors too, from placards on the local history (very interesting for history buffs) to a mini library with a bar (great for fellow bibliophiles).
As for the rooms themselves? Absolutely top-tier — especially in the mansion house. The beds were fantastic, the amenities were on point and we simply cannot recommend De Vere Latimer estate enough.
10/10, would strongly recommend. -

The biggest thank you to Jess and Abby - a coordination team of dreams!! Nothing was out of question for them and between them they planned and executed the wedding day of our dreams! The chefs, waiting staff, reception team and bar staff were also perfect on the day. We truly can't thank you all enough! Highly recommend Latimer Estate - plenty of accommodation, absolutely stunning grounds and the friendliest staff! -

My wife and I had a wedding at the venue. We stayed the night before and on the day of the wedding with our family and friends. The wedding was perfect, from the perspective of the bride and groom, we did not have to contact the staff once and were left to enjoy the day. The staff we incredibly polite, efficient and accommodating to any requests, I cannot be thankful enough for how much they contributed to making our wedding day perfect! -

Our wedding
A huge huge huge thank you to Jess and Lloyd. Where do we start?! Jess was phenomenal in her knowledge and expertise of wedding coordinating. We asked a lot of questions but nothing was ever too much trouble for her. We built a fantastic rapport with her and just wanted to take time to say thank you. Lloyd was the main man leading our big day and he ensured the day ran so smoothly. He even came up to us after our church ceremony with a glass of champagne.. it’s all the little touches that just made our day. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning and the food was incredible (and we love our food)! Anyone thinking of having your big day here, do not hesitate! We look back and the only sad thing is that we can’t just relive it all over again!!! Thanks so much guys, it’s a day we will cherish forever and will never forget. -

Wedding at Latimer Estate
We got married at De Vere Latimer Estate on 14th April and are so incredibly happy that we found this venue. The venue itself is absolutely stunning and set in a beautiful location in the countryside. Our whole wedding planning journey was made so easy by Jessica who was always on hand to answer any questions and help us with anything we were unsure of. During our planning meetings, she was so kind, so helpful and very professional. We met our event coordinator Abby the day before our wedding and she was just as kind and helpful. We were unable to meet her prior to this as we had other commitments so were a bit worried but she eased us with her bubbliness and professionalism. She ensured our day ran smoothly and perfectly and you can tell just how much they both love to make people's wedding dreams come true. We would recommend anyone to have their special day here, we just wish we could do ours all over again! -

We got married at Latimer in February 2023, after I proposed to my husband there in June 2021 (thinking we'd never be able to get married there, so at least I'd propose there). It was an absolutely wonderful day! The staff did an amazing job checking in with us throughout, with Abbie the coordinator on the day making sure everything was running smoothly. Jessica, our coordinator in the run up to the day, was amazingly organised and did a great job taking over from a previous coordinator whose approach had been much less attentive and well prepared. That didn't seem to phase her at all and she made us feel very well cared for after that experience.
It was wonderful to be able to include our dog Pumpkin in our special day, and having our entire day happening in one place definitely reduced the stress levels. It was great not to have any time lost to travel between different venues during the day. Our guests really appreciated being able to stay the night in the same venue and loved that they could pop back to their room at any time during the day. Having our use of a private bar meant we felt our wedding was private, but guests were also able to spill out into the library and public areas, so older guests could enjoy some quiet as the evening rolled on.
There were a few tiny niggles including difficulties with guests booking the contracted rooms using their own payment details, and our original coordinator didn't fill us with confidence. However once Jessica took over our account we felt like we were in great hands, and Abbie did a wonderful job bringing it all together on the day.
We'd really recommend this beautiful venue! -

Th perfect Wedding venue and Team!
DeVere Latimer Estate was the perfect venue to host our Christmas themed wedding.
We had actually chosen another venue but went to see DeVere Latimer out of curiosity and instantly knew it would be perfect and booked it the next day. We viewed the venue on a hot day which looked stunning, although it was actually snowing on our wedding day and it could not have looked more picture perfect.
Firstly the wedding venue... jaw dropping stunning! The drive up to the venue is so picturesque, through some country and forest lanes, arriving at the hotels long grand drive entrance, leading to the most beautiful mansion, flanked by picture perfect views of the countryside. No picture can do it justice, you have to see it in person. Our wedding was held in the mansion house which is gorgeous, from the opulent entrance, grand staircase and stunning decor that leads to the canopy, bar and reception rooms. From there you also have private views and access to the stunning garden and countryside hills. Both bar area and reception room were perfect where you can customise is down to every detail per your taste and budget. We had very specific request due to it being a Christmas themed wedding and the Wedding Team surpassed our expectations in every way.
Secondly the wedding planning team, as perfect at the venue itself. Due to a change in venue we had to plan our wedding in 2.5 months. The team could not have made this easier and less stressful for us. They recommended suppliers were brilliant, where you can pick and choose what you want or, what we did, do a mix and match of their and your won suppliers. They were so accommodating at every step of the journey, really listening to what we wanted and bending over backwards to make it happen. Not one member was pushy and we felt really valued. Where other venues had a red line of what they were willing to do, no request at Latimer was too big or too small - they genuinely cared about making our day perfect and not about what cost or commission they were receiving. This carried onto the wedding day where the whole team (led by Lloyd) were so calm, respectful and helpful, going above and beyond to make us and all our guests happy.
Finally the food. I must admit when we saw the menu options on paper we were a little underwhelmed being of Indian background. We needed have worried as when we went for the taste tasting, the food blew us away. We then met the Chef (Partha) and he even did some tweaks to the menu to give it our own flare. Our guests raved about it all, including some food bloggers and foodies who came. They were such talented chefs!
The above barely scratches the surface why Latimer and the Wedding team made our wedding journey perfect, so we have nothing but wonderful things to say with absolutely no negatives. All our guests still talk about our wedding weekend and how stunning it all looked, how much fun they had and how all the touches, big and small, made it equally grand but personal.
We are eternally grateful to the whole team at DeVere Latimer Estate. -
