Our dream day💖
Wow, where do I begin! From start to finish, the whole process has been a dream!
When we first set our eyes on the beautiful De Vere Cotswold Water Park, we fell in love with it and knew this was the place for us. Our first meeting with the amazing wedding planner, Nicole, went brilliantly and helped make our dream wedding become a reality. Over the 11 months, Nicole always stayed in contact and was only ever a message away. Her responses were always instant.
Our wedding day finally arrived on Friday 26th June in the Mallard Room, and from start to finish, it was everything we wanted. All the staff were so organised, and nothing was ever too much trouble. In the morning, Nicole took control of all the setup and made the room look exactly how we wanted it. She was amazing at keeping me calm throughout the morning and was always there by my side.
The wedding breakfast was amazing, and everyone commented on how wonderful the food was! Also, a big shout-out to Lauren, who took over in the evening. Nothing was ever too much to ask, and she was so helpful. She even moved our luggage from our dressing room to our honeymoon suite, which meant we could just relax and enjoy the evening.
The sunset over De Vere from the Mallard Room was just the icing on the cake! Thank you so much to all the staff at De Vere Cotswold Water Park. We will be forever gratefulDe Vere Cotswold Water Park's reply:
Hi Olivia,
Thank you both so much for taking the time to share such heartfelt feedback. It truly means the world to us.
It was an absolute pleasure to be part of your journey from that very first show round right through to your wedding day. Seeing your vision come to life in the Mallard Room and watching you both enjoy every moment was incredibly special. Your kind words about the planning process, the setup, and the support on the day are so appreciated — it’s wonderful to know that you felt looked after from start to finish.
We’re delighted that your guests enjoyed the wedding breakfast and that the whole day flowed seamlessly for you. Thank you again for choosing De Vere Cotswold Water Park for such an important day. We’re so grateful, and we wish you both a lifetime of happiness.
Best Wishes

Beautiful venue
We had our wedding last Saturday and it was amazing!
Nicole was so helpful and accommodating, the staff were friendly, professional and couldn’t do enough for us.
All our guests commented on how beautiful the lake setting was and how delicious the food tasted.
Honestly could not fault it. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone thinking of getting married here.-

Best day ever!
Wow! We had our wedding reception last weekend at the De Vere Cotswolds water park and it could not have gone any perfectly. The lakeside view was just spectacular during the ceremony. The confetti throw along the waters edge and all our bridal portraits in front of the gorgeous lake have come out so beautifully!
Nicole could not have been anymore helpful! I could not reccomend anymore!De Vere Cotswold Water Park's reply:
Hi Rebecca & Chevvy,

A Dream Wedding From Start to Finish ⭐️
We had the most amazing experience with our wedding venue. From the very beginning, the team was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel completely at ease. Our wedding coordinator was an absolute star throughout the entire journey—always patient, responsive, and so helpful, even when we had endless emails, questions, and last-minute changes.
On the big day itself, everything came together beautifully. The food was outstanding and received so many compliments from our guests, which meant a lot to us. The venue itself is stunning, with breathtaking views that made the whole day feel even more special.
Many of our guests stayed the night before and truly enjoyed their time—great food, a lovely atmosphere, and a perfect way to start the celebrations.
On top of all that, it was absolutely worth the value and comfortably within our budget, which made the experience even better. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue and are so grateful to the entire team for making our wedding so memorable.-

The Perfect Wedding Reception and Party
What can I say, from start to the very end what a fabulous service we received from the De Vere Cotswold. It truly was the most magical day and I cannot fault their service. A huge thank you and particular mention must go to Nicole their wedding events coordinator, she always made us feel so special. Nicole also single handily made sure every decoration was out and in place on the day taking all the worries out of our hands, she guided us through with such care and helped make us feel even more special.
Truly can’t recommend Nicole and her team enough!!!! Oh and the food was divine!De Vere Cotswold Water Park's reply:

A truly wonderful experience
We got married a few weeks ago, and although we meant to write this review sooner, we’ve genuinely struggled to find the right words to express just how incredible the whole experience has been. There simply aren’t enough ways to say thank you.
Nicole joined our wedding planning partway through, taking over from our original coordinator, and from the moment she stepped in, everything just clicked. She was on top of every detail, responded quickly, and answered my endless questions—sometimes more than once—with patience, kindness, and a smile every time.
Working with Nicole and her attentive team, before hand and on the day, was an absolute pleasure. Our guests had nothing but praise for her, the staff, the food, and the beautiful venue. Even after the wedding, Nicole continued to support us, helping sort out a few last-minute hiccups (including things we accidentally left behind) and offering solutions straight away. The fact that she treated us with the same warmth and professionalism after our wedding meant so much.
The wedding day itself ran effortlessly thanks to Nicole and her team. Things just happened seamlessly around us—one moment we were getting married, and the next, the room had been transformed exactly as we’d imagined, without us having to worry about a thing. It truly was a magical moment for us when we walked in and saw all of our ideas and their hard work come together.
We wholeheartedly recommend working with Nicole. She is supportive, enthusiastic, organised, and genuinely cares about the couple she’s looking after.
I still feel that this review doesn’t fully capture how amazing it was and how grateful we are, but please know that we are eternally thankful for Nicole and the entire team—their time, professionalism, fun energy, expertise, and enthusiasm. Thank you so much, and we can’t wait to return next year.De Vere Cotswold Water Park's reply:
Hi Emma,

Our perfect wedding
We booked the De Vere Cotswold waterpark as our wedding venue in which we had our perfect day in April 2025. We honestly couldn’t recommend the venue more. The whole process leading up to the wedding, the communication, the staff, the facilities, cleanliness, food/ drink and the overall experience every time we visited prior to our wedding was exceptional.
We had the most perfect wedding day, it ran so smoothly and that was down to the experience and professionalism of the staff at the De Vere. They ensured we had and got everything we wanted to make it perfect.
We couldn’t have wished for a better venue for our wedding and there isn’t one thing we would change. We are really expcited to go back and stay for our one year anniversary which is included in our package.
Thankyou so much to everyone at the De Vere 🩷
