  • It can accommodate up to 100 guests for your ceremony and 50 guests for a wedding breakfast, making it ideal for both meaningful moments and stylish celebrations.

  • Larger than the Marlborough Suite, the Wentworth Suite is ideal for ceremonies of over 100 guests, with a maximum capacity of 150, and can host wedding breakfasts for up to 90 guests.
  • The room features stunning Art Deco mirrors, which enhance the sense of space and beautifully reflect the natural light pouring in through the floor‑to‑ceiling windows. Finished with elegant chandeliers and a neutral colour palette, the Wentworth Suite provides a sophisticated blank canvas, allowing your vision and personal style to truly come to life.

Berkshire Suite:

  • The grandest of our spaces, the Berkshire Suite is perfect for couples dreaming of a large‑scale celebration, accommodating up to 150 guests with ample room for dining, dancing, and celebrating.
  • This impressive suite combines the Marlborough Suite and Wentworth Suite, with the partition seamlessly lowered to create one expansive room. The Wentworth Suite can remain styled with tables, offering guests a relaxed space to enjoy evening food and rest their feet, while the Marlborough Suite transforms into the ultimate dancefloor, complete with direct access to the bar and terrace.
  • With everything effortlessly connected, guests can order a drink and be straight back on the dancefloor the moment their favourite song begins, keeping the energy flowing and the celebration going well into the night

Accommodation:

  • We offer 66 beautifully designed bedrooms, including six signature suites, giving you plenty of choice when selecting the perfect space to get ready on the morning of your wedding. Staying from the night before, and perhaps even the night after, allows you to truly prolong and savour your special day.
  • Guests who stay overnight are invited to enjoy breakfast together in a private space the following morning, the perfect opportunity to share memories and relive the fun from the night before. Any leftover wedding cake can also be enjoyed and shared, providing a relaxed and joyful end to your celebrations.

Local Churches:

  • 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.

Set among 15 acres of beautifully manicured gardens, Royal Berkshire is an elegant wedding venue located in Ascot, Berkshire. This Queen Anne house was built in 1705 for the son of the first Duke of Marlborough, Charles Churchill. Offering a unique balance of relaxed comfort, informal surroundings and impeccable service, the house and gardens boast the picture-perfect venue for your special day.

Beautiful venue, amazing value

The team at the Royal Berkshire are absolutely top class.

When we were searching for a venue, this was one of very few places that were open to smaller weddings (total party of 22) and gave an idea of costings for separate packages; which was helpful for us for our budget.
The venue is wonderful; very relaxed feel with stunning details.

Right from the first meeting we were given plenty of information and the team supported us with all our queries. On the day they made it run so smoothly and made us all feel special.

This venue is excellent value for money. It is stunning in a nice location, and the team that work within it are superb.

100% faultless - What a venue!

We had the most incredible wedding weekend at the Royal Berkshire and cannot recommend this venue highly enough. From the moment we arrived, every member of staff was attentive, friendly and genuinely committed to making the experience perfect. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and many of our guests commented not only on how beautiful the venue and grounds were, but also on how exceptional the service was throughout.

The coordination and organisation across the whole team were outstanding. The staff created a calm, relaxed atmosphere, ensured every detail ran seamlessly and were always present without ever feeling intrusive. Their professionalism, warmth and genuine enthusiasm made the entire weekend feel effortless.

The venue itself is stunning, and the team’s ability to manage the day smoothly — from the ceremony to the evening celebrations — was exceptional. Every part of the weekend flowed beautifully, and we felt fully supported from start to finish. A special mention and huge thank you to Chloe, Sam and Bruno!

We feel incredibly lucky to have chosen the Royal Berkshire for our wedding. It exceeded every expectation, and we already know we’ll be returning for future anniversaries.

A truly exceptional venue with an outstanding team.

The Perfect Venue for our Perfect Day

The venue itself was stunning — every corner was picture-perfect, and our guests are still talking about how beautiful everything looked. But what really set this place apart was Chloe and her team. They anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, handled every small hiccup behind the scenes, and made sure we got to just enjoy our day without any stress.

We also have to give a huge shoutout to the amazing vendors who helped bring our day to life. DJ Lee brought incredible energy to the dance floor and kept everyone dancing all night long. Natalie, our photographer, was an absolute dream to work with — she captured every special moment beautifully, from the quiet, emotional ones to the big joyful celebrations, giving us memories we’ll treasure forever.

Our wedding was flawless from start to finish, and we owe so much of that to Chloe and the incredible team at the Royal Berkshire Hotel, along with the wonderful vendors who made the day so special. If you’re looking for a venue that will take care of every detail and make your big day feel truly magical, look no further. We can’t recommend them highly enough!

Our Happily Ever After Wedding

From start to finish they treated us as an individual couple and not just as another booking. They listened to our wants and wishes for our special day and were there every step of the way to help make all those special moments and surprises happen.

Beautiful Venue for our Big Day

We absolutely fell in love with the venue on our first visit. We sat there thinking that we would never be able to afford this venue but it ended up being perfect for us. The grounds, wedding spaces and bedrooms were all beautiful and perfect for our wedding with just under 100 guests. Dominika helped us throughout her whole journey to make sure all aspects of our wedding were thought about and nothing was too much of a problem. Dominika and Chloe, were so quick to respond to all our questions on the lead up to our wedding which was so helpful and reassuring. Alex on reception and Debbie the General Manager made sure all our request were dealt so quickly and made all the guests feel very welcome. They did an amazing job of setting up the wedding breakfast with all the place settings we had done ourselves. Thank you for helping us to organise our big day.

The most incredible venue

We can't praise Royal Berkshire enough for ensuring that our wedding day was as special as it was. Dominika and Chloe were fantastic from start to finish. They were responsive, understanding and just generally fantastic. The food is incredible, the outside space is great, and we couldn't recommend it enough.

The perfect venue for your wedding

We could not have chosen a more perfect venue for our wedding than the Royal Berkshire.

From our very first visit to the wedding day itself, the staff were simply exceptional. Every single person, from reception, the bar and catering teams to the waiting staff and everyone behind the scenes, was warm, professional, attentive and genuinely committed to making our day unforgettable. The hospitality was outstanding, and so many of our guests commented on how wonderful the team were.

A special thank you to Dom, our fantastic Wedding Manager, whose organisation and calm professionalism made the entire planning process effortless, and to Chloe for her kindness, responsiveness and attention to every detail. We would also like to thank Sam from the catering team, who looked after us so brilliantly with such warmth and care. Finally, a heartfelt thank you to the General Manager Debbie, whose friendliness and personal congratulations on our wedding made us feel very special.

The hotel itself is stunning. The elegant rooms, beautiful grounds and sumptuous atmosphere provided the most magical setting for our wedding.

Our wedding was everything we had dreamed of and more, and the Royal Berkshire played a huge part in making it the happiest day of our lives. We are so incredibly happy we chose this venue and cannot recommend it highly enough.

Excellent coordination and service from the moment we booked. We felt we were in safe hands with Dominika and her team throughout the entire process.

The food was excellent, and the staff were incredibly obliging, professional, and helpful.
We are very grateful for all their hard work in making our day so special and would highly recommend them.

Magical Wedding Day 10th May 2026

I can not recommend the Royal Berkshire Hotel enough to anyone seeking the perfect wedding venue. From the stunning grounds, the lovely venue, the food and the fabulous wedding planning team, you can not make a better choice in my opinion. We were a very small ceremony, with only 17 of us, but we were made to feel just as special as if we had been a massive event! We had the ceremony in their walled garden which was perfect. It is quite difficult to find venues that will cater to less than 50, feel affordable, and offer the level of attention and planning that they do. On the day, everything ran so smoothly for us, right down to the secret bagpiper that had to be hidden from my husband before she appeared from the rose garden to pipe us over to the main building for our drinks reception. Thank you so much to Chloe, our wedding planner, who managed to ensure this little secret happened just the way I had hoped it would! Thank you all for such a wonderful day. It willl stay in our memory for years to come.

If you want a lovely venue with a great team of people behind you, then you can't go wrong with the Royal Berkshire Hotel.

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!

With previous experience in both weddings and finance, my eye for detail and passion for your day means you’re in safe hands — and I’ll make sure you receive nothing less than the very best you deserve!

‘’Chloe, Firstly, I just wanted to say a huge thank you. Not only for your patience when we had traffic trouble, but for how special we were made to feel. I'm not sure if people tell you enough, but the little touches that you organised like the cakes, wedding sign and bubbles for us to sit down with a brochure really goes such a long way and meant a lot to us. We were blown away with how helpful you were, and taking the time to answer all of our questions.’’
