    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.

    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 🩷

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Most Perfect Wedding Day!

    From start to finish, our wedding at De Vere Cotswold Water Park was absolutely flawless. The venue itself is stunning — surrounded by beautiful lakes and peaceful countryside — but what truly made the day unforgettable was the incredible team, especially Nicole, our wedding coordinator.

    Nicole was exceptional. She went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect and that we felt completely at ease throughout the planning process. Nothing was ever too much trouble — from answering our endless questions to coordinating suppliers seamlessly on the day. Her calm, friendly, and professional approach made such a difference and allowed us to relax and fully enjoy every moment.

    The service on the day was impeccable, the food was delicious, and the staff were attentive and genuinely lovely. Everything ran so smoothly — it felt effortless (even though we know how much work went on behind the scenes!).

    We received so many compliments from our guests about the stunning venue, the food, and how well-organized everything was. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience — De Vere Cotswold Water Park and Nicole gave us the most magical wedding day we could have dreamed of.

    We’d recommend this venue to any couple looking for a beautiful setting, top-notch service, and a team who truly care about making your day perfect. Thank you again, Nicole and the whole team — you made our day truly unforgettable. 💕

    Our dream day!

    Booking Cotswold Water Park for our wedding day was an easy decision with such a gorgeous positioning and decor. That's without mentioning their incredible package deals, we booked the top package at the time which was amazing value for money!

    We booked 2.5 years in advance and were a little concerned with our choice based on communication issues. However, since Nicole has joined and taken over any concerns we had instantly vanished!
    Nicole's approach and attitude towards every little detail is second to none. She is the most gorgeous human with a bubbly personality and nothing is too much! She really made our experience and vision come to life.
    The team behind the scenes were incredible with the set up and service on the day.
    Staff throughout the hotel could not do enough to help, not only us, but our guests too!
    The chef for our day was so lovely and came to discuss anything and everything the night before whilst we were setting up.
    The food was remarkable, every single guest whether they be vegetarian or a meat eater had many positive comments to make and in my opinion the food really helps make the day memorable and enjoyable for guests!

    From start to finish... (even now when we reach out) our whole experience with De Vere Cotswold Water Park has been incredible and I strongly recommend to anyone considering!

    Thank you again so much Nicole and the De Vere CWP team for the most amazingly magical day. We can't wait to join you again very soon!

    Love Mr & Mrs Dalmedo 💕

    Outstanding

    From our first meeting with Nicole, she made me feel at total ease with everything. No job was too much for her and we both felt listened too with how we wanted our magical day to go.

    We had a lot of family travelling and so we had dinner the night before in the restaurant and again everyone went beyond their duties to make sure everything was perfect.

    I would highly recommend our wedding venue, the setting is beautiful and our honeymoon suite was to die for.

    We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day, thank you so much to Nicole and all who were involved!

    De Vere Cotswold Water Park's reply:

    Hello Steph,

    I look forward to welcoming you back for your 1 year anniversary stay!

    The best day!!

    We got married here last year and I can honestly say it was just magical! We had originally planned a bigger wedding, however due to personal circumstances we had to bring our date forward with very short notice.

    They were so accommodating and nothing was at all to much!! The venue is absolutly beautiful and the service we recieved was exceptional!!


    I can never thank them enough for making our day so special, and being so understanding and helpful. The food was amazing and would highly recommend here!! Thankyou all so much :)

    Incredible venue!

    We got married in April 2025 and it was the best day at the best venue. Nicole took over the role of events co-ordinator around half way through our wedding planning process and was fantastic. She was professional and approachable from the minute she had the job. Nothing was too much for her and the team leading up to the wedding day and on the day itself. The hotel is beautiful and we had the entire wedding party stay and get ready the night before and most guests stayed the night of too. Everyone commented on how fantastically the day was organised and how brilliant Nicole and her team were. The wedding packages are so well priced, which makes it even better when planning such a big day. We cannot thank Nicole and the team at the hotel enough for helping making our day so unforgettable! I wish we could do it all again!

    Special day

    Stacey was very good at keeping us up to date with our preperations and was very happy to answer any
    questions we had.
    On our wedding day Hugh and Anna were both very attentive and made sure we both were happy and
    anything they could help with, nothing was too much trouble.
    Really nice to have the extra touches left for us in the suite -rose petals on bed, champagne from staff,
    wedding card. Also when we arrived home from honeymoon to receive a card, personalised bar of chocolate
    and 1 year anniversary stay at the hotel.
    We both had a very enjoyable day, weather was lovely and the hotel with the lake made it special to us.

    Bestest Day Ever!!!

    On Saturday we got married at the hotel. We had the most amazing day and the weather was gorgeous. Huw and Anna were so helpful. Anna was always there making sure we were okay and tell us what was happening next. The hotel had an event on, on the Friday night and this meant I couldn’t get into the room the night before. I of course was uneasy about this as I would then not be able to set the room up on the Saturday. As promised though the venue did everything for me just how I wanted it! At the end of the night everything was packed away for us so we didn’t have to worry about anything. The food was amazing in all we had the perfect day
