  • There are several beautiful local churches for couples wishing to marry in a church, all located within a short driving distance of the hotel, making transitions between ceremony and celebration seamless for you and your guests.

White glove service every step of the way

We truly cannot thank the team at the Royal Berkshire Hotel enough, and in particular Chloe, for the incredible organisation, care and attention that went into our wedding. From start to finish, everything was seamless and thoughtful. We genuinely could not have asked for anything better, and our guests are still talking about it weeks later.

The food deserves a special mention. The canapés were an absolute highlight. So many guests commented on how generous the portions were, which is quite rare at events where canapés often barely make it around the room. Several people said they must have had ten to fifteen each. The winter greens were a real favourite, and the chicken has been talked about ever since. The quality, presentation and consistency were exceptional throughout.

The service, the wine and the overall experience were simply outstanding. What really stood out was the warmth and professionalism of the entire team. Chloe was phenomenal from day one. Calm, detail oriented, incredibly responsive and always one step ahead, she made what could have been a stressful process feel completely effortless. On the day itself, everything ran perfectly and we felt genuinely looked after at every moment.

The room itself was breathtaking. The team didn’t just deliver on our vision, they elevated it in a way we hadn’t even imagined. From the setup to the atmosphere, every detail came together beautifully.

A huge thank you as well to Lee, the bar team and all the staff, every single person contributed to making the day feel personal, smooth and truly special.

If you are considering the Royal Berkshire Hotel as your wedding venue, we cannot recommend it highly enough. It was everything we had hoped for and more.

The perfect venue!

Royal Berkshire Hotel was an incredible venue, matched by an equally incredible team. From start to finish, we felt fully supported and well informed throughout the planning process, with no question or request ever feeling like too much trouble. On the day itself, everything ran seamlessly. Dominika, Sam, and the entire RBH team truly delivered the day of our dreams - and exceeded every expectation. Would highly recommend for any couples searching for their perfect venue!

We had our wedding in August 2025, and the team at the Royal Berkshire were absolutely amazing. A special mention to Dominika, who we liaised with throughout the planning process , she was incredibly patient, nothing was ever too much trouble, and she had some great ideas along the way. We’d also like to mention Sam, who helped us on the day and was so helpful and supportive.
Even though we got married in August during peak wedding season, with other weddings happening around ours, you honestly wouldn’t have known. We truly felt like the only couple getting married that weekend, as the team were so attentive throughout.
The food was amazing too, which many of our guests commented on. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Royal Berkshire. Thank you all at the Royal Berkshire who made our day so special :)

The Most Perfect Day!

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The hotel looked incredible and felt so festive, creating the most amazing atmosphere for us and our guests. So many people commented on how delicious the food was, including the canapés, the wedding breakfast and also the evening food. Every single member of staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and that we felt completely looked after. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or team to celebrate our special day!

Amazing day and an incredible team

The team at RBH were so helpful - both leading up to the wedding and throughout the weekend. We had family travelling from overseas and they were very accommodating of the additional organisation that took. All of our meetings with Dominika leading up to the big day were extremely helpful, and she had ideas I hadn’t even thought of. The confetti poppers were a huge hit and the pictures from the moment are stunning. The team worked seemlessly with our suppliers. We used their recommended suppliers for everything and I would highly suggest that as they’ve worked together before and meant I had an stress-free wedding day. Everyone keeps commenting how relaxed I seemed on the big day, and that was all down to how comfortable and supported the team made me feel. Thanks everyone!

Fantastic Wedding

We had a fantatic wedding in July 2025 at Royal Berkshire for approx 80 guests. The staff was very professional and the service was excellent.
We had great updates and assistance in the preparation of the wedding with the wedding planner from the venue.
We had great tips to make the big day a success.

A flawless venue that nails fun and formality!

The Royal Berkshire Hotel - and its beautiful manor house and grounds - was the perfect venue for our wedding… it struck the ideal balance between formality and fun. The setting and grounds are stunning, and Dominika and her team were exceptional – supportive throughout the planning and brilliant on the day itself. The food was impeccable, with countless compliments from guests about the beef. They were wonderfully flexible too: we had a horse-box serving ice cream and cocktails, mini-golf on the lawn, and most importantly, our dog was welcomed as ring-bearer. The evening BBQ was a standout finish. Couldn’t recommend the venue more – if you want your guests entertained in a beautiful setting, this is the place.

Thanks for everything, RBH team.
Best wishes, Nick, Nou & Darla x

Amazing venue and staff for our perfect day

As soon as I visited the venue and met Dominika I knew this was our wedding venue. All our guests commented how exceptional the venue was and how amazing the staff was.
Everyone felt very special and no request was too much trouble for the staff. We had the perfect day, we couldn't have hoped for any better. My family is from Belgium and they really like good food and wine - they said that the food and wine was absolutely amazing. We had such an amazing day and so much fun. Even, nearly 3 months on, everyone is still telling us that they had a fantastic day and had so much fun.
Dominika and her colleagues were amazing in the planning of the wedding. They have always been very responsive, answered all our questions (and there were a lot) very promptly. They held our hand all the way until, and on, our wedding day. It was such a special day we will never forget. The wedding fair at RBH was very helpful in meeting suppliers. We chose a few of them for our wedding day.

The most amazing wedding venue

We were fortunate enough to visit the Royal Berkshire during one of their wedding open days and whilst we went with no expectations we were completely blown away and came back 100% sure it was the place for us. The venue itself is beautiful, from the enchanting grounds to the comfortable hotel rooms and the very well proportioned function spaces it ticked all the boxes. The staff are truly one of their unique selling points as Dominika and her whole team really go above and beyond to make the day perfect. We had a Lord of the Rings inspired wedding and they made sure to have all our special touches exactly as we envisioned them, ensured the day ran smoothly and that all our guests had a wonderful time. We had multiple people tell us it was the best wedding they'd been to and how everything was amazing. The food was also excellent, as we'd been to many weddings where we felt there wasn't enough food this was particularly important to us and they did not disappoint. All the food tasted amazing (they really take your feedback on board during the tasting to make it exactly how you'd like) and was plentiful, we even had our Italian friends compliment the evening pizzas!

Overall the organisation and beautiful surroundings make it the ideal place to get married, you can make the day as personalised as you want whilst also knowing they've done many weddings before and you can rely on their expertise make it the perfect day. We would highly recommend having your wedding here, you won't be disappointed!

Just perfect, everything we'd hoped for and more

Choosing the Royal Berkshire as our wedding venue was one of the best decisions we made. Our day was everything we’d dreamed of and more, it couldn’t have been more perfect.

Dominika and the entire wedding team were incredible. They were so supportive throughout the whole planning process, always friendly, and quick to help with any questions or ideas. We really felt looked after from start to finish.

The venue itself is absolutely stunning. The gardens are beautifully kept and made a gorgeous setting for photos and outside drinks. Inside, the wedding spaces are just as beautiful, full of charm and elegance, with the flexibility to add your own personal touches and make the day feel truly yours.

Our guests had so many lovely things to say, especially about the food and organisation from the wedding team. The drinks flowed throughout the day and everything was timed perfectly. The service from the staff was seamless and added to the relaxed, celebratory atmosphere.

Having hotel rooms on-site was a huge bonus, making things so easy and convenient for everyone, and allowing us to enjoy the full day (and night!) without any stress.

There genuinely isn’t a single fault, we wouldn’t change a thing. If we could do it all again, we’d choose the Royal Berkshire in a heartbeat.

Royal Berkshire are reliable, responsive, personable, professional and tailor your day exactly to your requirements!

Royal Berkshire were so welcoming from day one and tailored our planning and wedding day exactly to our dreams. We felt that they were very reliable, responsive, professional and personable from the beginning, as well as the venue itself having beautiful grounds which we knew was perfect for our special day. We couldn’t have picked a better venue for our wedding day and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for their dream venue. The wedding team couldn’t do enough for us, and it felt like Dominika even became a friend!

5 stars would never be enough🩷

My wife and I got married at the Royal Berkshire Hotel in June 2024 and we couldn’t have picked a better venue for our special day. From the moment we laid eyes on the venue and met the wedding planning the team we knew this was the place we’d start our forever.

From that first meeting to the morning after our wedding the team at the royal Berkshire were nothing short of amazing, all of our guests commented on how they couldn’t do enough on the day.

The venue in itself is beautifully picturesque, our photos say it all, everyone loved the venue and enjoyed staying (we had large amounts of people staying and having exclusive option was perfect for us) we also stayed the night before with 50 of our guests for a pre wedding dinner so it was a whole weekend of fun, love and excitement at the royal Berkshire hotel. The food was truly amazing with amazing portions that everyone was well fed! The ability to change things we wanted with the menu was a great touch - no ask was to big!

I have to highlight Dominika our wedding coordinator, it would not have felt so personal without her, through her slick communication and care she showed us throughout the process we had 100% trust in her which is essential when planning a wedding, she made the whole process feel seamless and she genuinely felt part of the family by the end I can’t thank her and the whole team enough for making it the most special day,

Everyone had a great sleep as the rooms were very comfy (decently priced which was a selling point for us as we struggled with finding venues that had enough rooms for people to stay that weren’t astronomical but were also classic elegant and modern which the royal Berkshire did on each level!)

The wedding breakfast room is light and beautiful with light neutral carpets and curtains (I might be pedantic but I hate crazy coloured ones) we got married in the secret walled garden which was beautiful
The hog roast in the evening I’m told was amazing was enjoying myself too much I missed it lol! Also the ability to have fireworks was an amazing touch.

The last thing is that it’s dog friendly so we were able to have our puppy along for the day which was great too!
I wish we could get married again there a hundred times if we could it’s a truly special hidden gem where we will visit again and again it will hold a special place in our heart forever - if your thinking about booking do it NOW!

We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
