Amazing Venue
Venue Service

By Sian, on 21 Dec 2015

I wanted to thank you very much for all your hard work in helping to make Katie and Steve's wedding on 3 August such a memorable day. You were such a calming influence and professional through and through. In the build up to the wedding you helped us to feel confident that it would all run smoothly and from the moment we arrived at the Dairy on the wedding day you were there to ensure we relaxed. The Dairy is an amazing venue and all our guests commented on the beauty, cleanliness and also the professionalism of your team. The service at the wedding breakfast was second to none and the food was delicious. (August 2015)

Magical
Venue Service

By Karen, on 21 Dec 2015

I just wanted to write and thank you for everything. It was such a magical and emotional day - I didn't want it to end. Even though it was cloudy, the ceremony was so beautiful by the lake. The flowers and the surrounding willow trees were stunning and I loved hearing the ducks during the quiet moments of the ceremony! However, as you know, the sun did appear late afternoon, and it was a glorious evening by the lake. I received so many lovely comments from guests who were totally taken aback by the beauty of the venue. Many of them told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to and felt honoured and privileged to have been part of it. Your staff were wonderful. I must mention the young man who is in charge. He was so very helpful and even at the end when I came back to collect everything, he was there to help. The food was excellent - and again, I had many good comments on it. - particularly the deserts!! So a huge thank you to all involved. It would be lovely to use the Dairy again in the future, I will definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a venue. (June 2015)

You cannot beat The Dairy at Waddesdon as a wedding venue. The venue is excellent whether you are having a summer wedding or a winter wedding. The staff are also wonderful, nothing is ever too much trouble for them. You will not get better food at a wedding either! Highly recommended - wish we could have our wedding all over again this Christmas!!

Our Wedding at the Dairy
Venue Service

By Anne and Matt Pedlow, on 23 Jul 2011

Perfect location for our special day. Getting married outside and having a civil ceremony was on the top of our list and to beable to ddo so in such a lovely setting. knowing we had an inside option should it rain was also really reassuring. Every one of our guests has commented on how lovely the setting was and what amazing food they had and we agree it sure was! The whole day and lead up to the day was so well organised by the staff at the Dairy Matt and I didn't have to worry about a thing. We wish we could re live the day again!

A fantastic private wedding venue
Venue Service

By Sabuhi and James Gard, on 23 Jul 2011

My friends and family had a wonderful day and night at the Dairy. All the staff were friendly and the wedding co-ordinator Claire was amazing. For myself and James my husband, it was a very special day.

If I could rate this venue higher I would.

Our Special Wedding Day 27th Feb 2010 We had the most special day and a lot of thanks goes to The Dairy for making it so special. Our friends still talk about it as the best Wedding they have ever been to. The marriage service was really personal and after that the food was exceptional which is what my wife really wanted. The Silver Service was amazing, you hardly noticed your plate being removed as it was done in a synchronised motion which was classy. The approved DJ made the night so great for our evening guests to arrive and get straight into it. We also used Stuart Bebb who was one of the approved photographers and the whole experience was exactly what we wanted with a mixture of contemporary and reportage photos. All memories to last a lifetime. Dean & Kerry Moore

Intimate venue for elegant exclusive weddding
Venue Service

By Tim and Manisha Hardacre, on 22 Jul 2011

Our experience with Waddesdon Dairy could not have been better. The venue was universally praised by our guests and our interaction as clients was faultless from start to finish. The fact that it's a venue you can use all day with no one else around is a huge benefit. The venue is versatile for competing guest demands and looks amazing when prepared for the wedding day. Local accomodation is one issue but we stayed in the Old Bank in Oxford and made a weekend of it.

Breathtaking venue!
Venue Service

By Mr and Mrs Norman, on 19 Jul 2011

The Dairy at Waddesdon Manor was the first venue we visited and we fell in love with it instantly! The venue is beautiful and we had so many wonderful comments from our guests that they had never seen anything like it. The staff at the venue are brilliant from the start of planning through to the day itself. We felt totally at ease that everything would go as planned. The food and wine was beautifully presented and tasted wonderful. Overall, we were thrilled with our choice and would not hesitate to recommend the Dairy.
