Amazing!!!

Katie was brilliant from start to finish she always replied to emails quickly and arrange meeting to fit around work and school runs. Nothing seemed to be a problem especially when wanting to add or take things out of the wedding plans.
She made it feel stress free and even thought of things I didn't she was such a great help!
Amelia was great on the day making sure everything was in place and on time.
The food was amazing people even took some home. The bar staff are very nice and polite.
We thought it was a great price for value and wouldn't change anything about our day.
We would like to say a massive thank you again to all of you for your hard work and making our day so special so THANK YOU again.

Wedding Afternoon Tea

We booked a small, intimate wedding for our family just before Christmas.
The venue was perfect, the care and attention second-to-none. Just enough ‘Christmas’ with a super blend of ‘wedding’.
We wanted something different, so designed an afternoon tea alongside the wedding planning team - nothing was too much trouble.
We would highly recommend the Villiers to any couple wanting a non-religious wedding in a traditional setting.

A day to remember!

From the very start all of the staff at the Villiers Hotel were incredibly attentive and nothing was an issue, down to our request for certain Teabags!
Katie, Amelia and everyone was nothing but kind, patient and informative to give us the best day we could have. The venue was perfect for us, local for most of our guests, and is so beautiful inside! So much room and all of our guests were really blown away! The food was lovely, we had a lovely menu tasting evening a few months before, and they were fantastic at dealing with food allergies/requirements - all the food came out swiftly and was delicious.
The changeovers between ceremony - meal - evening was as smooth as could be, and everything was communicated to us as the day went on - so much care was poured into our day and we are so delighted! Thankyou Villiers 💜

Hugely grateful for our wonderful day

Villiers Hotel provided us with the wedding day of our dreams, and we couldn't be more grateful. From behind the scenes planning in the run-up (special thanks to Katie Parkin-Coates), to friendly and efficient coordination and management on the day (special thanks to Amelia Harris), we couldn't have asked for a better day both for ourselves and our guests. We would recommend Villiers as a venue (specifically the Ballroom) and the team to anybody looking for a classic space to put their stamp on. I want to do it all again!!!

Our perfect day in a great location

Everything about our day was perfect. We had the Laura Ashley Tearoom for our service which was spot on for our small congregation of 18 people. The staff were so helpful and friendly and did everything to make our day special, special mention for the food which was amazing and brilliant value. We couldn't of asked for anything else and would highly recommend Villiers Hotel for your ceremony be it small or large

We had the best day - and so did our guests!

We were very lucky to win the hire of Villiers in a competition run by Bespoke, after having a meeting with them on site and viewing the venue, we knew that it was the place to have our wedding. The whole process leading up to the wedding they were very responsive and were happy to accommodate any of our requests. On the day they were really helpful with setting up and helping the suppliers get ready too. The food and drinks were fantastic and all of the guests commented on how good it was and how much fun they had.

Our wedding ceremony

We chose to hold our wedding ceremony at Villers and from start to finish Katie and Amelia were just fantastic and communicating with me and making sure that everything was arranged exactly how we wanted it and made sure everything prior to the day ran smoothly and on our actual special day it all ran so smoothly and Amelia was just great and nothing was any trouble.
I would without a doubt recommend Villers wedding team and they helped to make our day perfect.

The Laura Ashley room at the Villiers Hotel is an excellent venue for a small intimate wedding.

Katie the Senior Wedding & Events Executive provided shrewd and extremely helpful advice whilst we were planning the wedding. The food was fine and the staff were charming and efficient. Thank you

It truly was a lovely day, perfect in fact!

I will be writing a proper thank you, but wanted to thank you and all you staff asap for the wonderful wedding that you all organised for Alice and Michael. It truly was a lovely day - perfect in fact. Not a thing went wrong, although I understand Gareth fell in the river Ouse whilst taking photo’s ? !! Oh dear.

It took me all yesterday to sort out the flowers and now our houses are full of vases with the wonderful flowers and bouquets which we all love. The cake was so beautiful and I hope that the family tradition of the photos of the cake not coming out doesn’t happen on this occasion, apparently Gareth heard this story and went back and took even more to ‘belt and braces’ it! I believe our son and his fiancée are hoping that Gareth and Sarah will do their wedding photos as they were very friendly and so hard working all day even though they were meant to be guests. Your staff all deserve a medal they too were very helpful, friendly very good at whatever was each of their tasks. The meal was wonderful. I am sure you are proud of them, but pat yourself on the back for making such a wonderful team.

I will recommend Villiers for any event when people ask my opinion on venue choices. As you know you can even make the weather shine at the right moment.

With our very grateful thanks and best wishes.

Amanda and Keith

Villiers ....efficient & helpful in every way

“We found Villiers wedding services efficient and helpful in every way”.

“The Villiers Town Hall Ballroom and its close proximity to Villiers Hotel (where most of our guests stayed) is extremely convenient and the Ballroom itself both a spacious and well appointed venue for the wedding reception, the wedding breakfast and the dancing to a live band.

The Villiers Wedding Menus and Wine List offers a wide choice of options and the chef is very happy to discuss specific requirements.

Above all, we found that Villiers “added value” by providing considerable assistance with the wedding planning including contacts and coming up with solutions to any problem that arose – their considerable experience in organising events is an invaluable asset.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Villiers.
Our daughter and her husband endorse our views.
We had a great day!”

Such a special day!

Where do we start to say thank you for our wedding reception. For all of your staff's effort, and to you Ellie for coming to our rescue in our time of need. For not only making sure that our day was special, but also our guests, as they all only had good things to say. We personally felt that you all where part of our family that day and we can truly say that we would recommend you to anyone at anytime, just not when we want to book you again.

We just wish we could do it all again!

From the first show round 13 months before our wedding, through to the hotel barman entertaining our last standing guests at 5am on the morning after our wedding, the service we received from all the staff at The Villiers was exceptional, making our entire wedding experience a truly magical time of our lives! Taking on board everything we requested - from the fairy lights entwined up the stairs, to the tablecloth creases running in the same direction, even the special pasta meal for the bride, not once were our requests overlooked or laughed at! You all have the patience of saints! We just wish we could do it all again.

Thank you for the excellent Wedding Reception

My wife and I would like to thank you for the excellent Wedding Reception we enjoyed at Villiers in the Old Town Hall on 28th July. From the moment we arrived, the attentive service of the staff helped to reduce the stress that always occurs on these occasions. The whole event went very smoothly and this was due in no small part to the detailed planning put in by Ms Ellie Shea and her colleagues. The buffet service was most efficient and the food was delicious. The staff liaised well with the Master of Ceremonies and helped him perform the ‘sabrage’ with a minimum of disruption. My family and numerous guests enjoyed staying at the Villiers and meeting up for breakfast the following morning.

We were very impressed!

We decided to get married in Buckingham after we visited the Villiers Hotel with a view to using for reception, we loved the size of the ballroom, the charm and ambiance of the Hotel. We were very impressed from the initial visit, the planning meetings where we discussed some great ideas on how to make the reception special to us, loved the wedding meal and wine tasting in the classy restaurant. Nothing was too much for the staff.
