Set within the beautiful Berkshire countryside in Aldermaston, Wasing Park is a fantastic barn venue for your wedding. The property's versatile grounds are full of historical gems, including their Victorian Summerhouse and Castle Barn. So if you would love to have your wedding day in an enchanting getaway, this venue is for you!
Facilities and Capacity
The modern Garden Room is absolutely stunning for your civil ceremony at Wasing Park. With windows that flood the space with natural daylight, white walls, wooden floors, and distinctive glass ceiling lights, this is the perfect space for brides and grooms to exchange their vows. If you wish to tie the knot in an outdoor setting, the Victorian Summerhouse, located within the Terrace Garden, is licensed for outdoor ceremonies. With its lush surroundings and beautifully painted murals on the summerhouse's interior, it's the perfect outdoor location. If a traditional church ceremony is what you've always dreamed of, the parish Church of St. Nicholas stands within the estate grounds. This beautiful 15th Century chapel boasts original characteristics, such as stained-glass windows and a white timber-clad turret. The focal point of Wasing Park is the Castle Barn; with a contemporary and chic interior, it works exceptionally well for the wedding breakfast and evening party. The entrance is impressive, with a red brick castle-style tower and arched glass doorway. Blending traditional design features with modern mood lighting, the Castle Barn sets the scene for a wonderfully romantic day. The covered Castle Barn terrace is adorned with sheepskins, twinkling fairy lights, candles, and a fire pit, giving couples the perfect alfresco area, that can be used all year round.

Wasing Park also offers boutique overnight accommodation on the estate, the perfect place to relax after the excitement of the special day. The Old Estate Rooms offer absolute luxury in the form of nine elegant suites, including the spectacular Honeymoon Suite, The Dovecote, The Smithy, The Granary, and The Coach House, all of which offer fabulous and distinctive styling with individual touches such as triangular shaped beds, mezzanines, and free-standing copper baths. An additional 17 beautifully appointed bedrooms are available in The Stables, The Mews, and The Pump House. Situated in separate areas of the estate and subject to availability, are an additional two self-catering properties; The Bothy, a two-bedroom cottage in the Secret Walled Garden, and Home Farmhouse, a 6-bedroom cottage just a short walk from the venue. For couples who book The Old Estate Rooms for their wedding night, Wasing Park offers complimentary use of Kitts Cottage the night before the wedding day*. Perfect for pre-wedding pampering, this quaint country cottage is set in the beautiful Wasing Park property and offers plenty of space to relax and get a good night's sleep.
We booked Wasing Park back in April 2021 and got married on Friday 7th April 2023. Throughout the two years of liaising with Wasing we were amazed with their professional and effective responses, each and every member of the team that we spoke with were so kind, patient (we had lots of questions!) and professional. We had an in person look around the venue in April 2021 before we promptly booked, we then had our tasting in November 2022 and visited in January 2023 at the Winter Showcase. We had a zoom meeting where we discussed their very organised Event Planning excel spreadsheet, which was super helpful. The team and our fantastic wedding coordinator, Lucrecia, were amazing in the lead up to the wedding, checking in on us to make sure we were okay and all was in order. The catering team were fab, and were able to cater for our fully vegan wedding, which was very important to us. Nothing was ever too much of an ask for the Wasing team. When it came to the day, Lucrecia and all of the Wasing staff were fantastic, they ensured the day ran smoothly, that we had everything we needed and that everything was how it should be. The team are incredible and we are so grateful to everything they did to allow our day to be absolutely perfect. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. It was the only venue we viewed in person and we knew it was the one, it was booked within a week of our engagement! It is so lovely to have three options of where you can have your ceremony, the Castle Barn is simply beautiful and it’s great to have quirky and comfortable accommodation on site. Really convenient for our guests. When we were looking for venues, we wanted somewhere where we could do minimal styling and it still look absolutely stunning. It has so many stunning locations for pictures and the honeymoon suite is a non negotiable! I would wholeheartedly recommend Wasing Park for your dream wedding venue, you won’t regret it! From the incredible staff to the unbeatable setting, it really is the perfect wedding venue. Thank you to all Wasing staff for making our day absolutely perfect.

The best day of our lives
We got married at Wasing Park two weeks ago. The whole experience was fantastic from start to finish. We fell in love with the venue as soon as visited back in 2021.
We were assigned Emma Norton as our event manager who was fantastic in the lead up and even better on the day.
Many of our guests said this was the best wedding they’ve been to referencing the high quality of the food and the attentiveness of the staff.
Thank you Wasing Park for helping to make our wedding day the best day of our lives.

Exceptional service
Noni and the rest of the staff were absolutely fantastic in the build up and on the day of our wedding. They were there to help us anytime we needed it, always there to offer a top up (which is always nice) and ensured that my partner and I could sit back and enjoy our special day. The food was absolutely exceptional, which all of our guests mentioned as well and we just had the best day. We couldn't recommend them enough!

Perfect venue for our wedding day
Wasing Park was perfect for us, and had everything we were after. Everything is there that you could need on site: we even got married on the little church on site, the barn is amazing, and lots of accommodation on site for all our family and friends.
The food and service was brilliant throughout, and got lots of compliments.
The staff are highly organised and helped to answer all our questions and make sure it all ran smoothly on the day.
Loved it here and would recommend to anyone.

Our Dream Wedding
From the moment we enquired with Wasing Park, right through to the big day itself, the team have been absolutely amazing! No request was too big and they always got back to our queries straight away. Imogen (our Weddings Manager) was amazing - so patient when answering our never ending questions and changes to the itinerary and she made the day run seamlessly. She even saved my dress from being stained after I spilled one of the delicious canapés down myself straight after the ceremony! Neither myself nor my partner drink, but Imogen went above and beyond to make sure we had delicious non-alcoholic options available and we even had flowers in our champagne flutes of water!
The venue itself is stunning. From the Garden Room, to the Summerhouse and to the Castle Barn - you really don’t have to add much styling to any of the spaces as they are already stunning. We also loved having accommodation onsite so our friends and family could stay and have a farewell breakfast before ending the celebrations.
We had the most perfect day and can’t recommend Wasing and the team enough!

The best day of our lives🤍
I cannot recommend Wasing more, it is the perfect wedding venue. From point of show round through to the day itself, the team were fantastic. On the day our event manager, Nikki, was perfect. She put us both at ease in the lead up, and was such a great support on the day. We were so lucky to have her as our event manager! The day ran seamlessly from start to finish, we were unlucky with the weather but The Garden Room was lovely for our ceremony and drinks reception, and the Barn looked amazing for the Wedding Breakfast! I would definitely recommend taking the nine suites package, as being at Kitts the morning of with all my bridesmaids and mum was so lovely. The food was great, all of our guests were complimenting it throughout the evening and the days after, and the chefs were very understanding as we had a guest with severe allergies. The drinks were event better, I highly recommend the Picpoul and Malbec!!
We honestly had the best day of our lives, and I cannot thank the team at Wasing enough for making it so perfect.

No words - incredible
We had our wedding at Wasing Park on 8th July 2023, and honestly, we cannot fault a single thing. From start the finish, the event management team were on hand to help. Nothing was too much to ask and all of our questions were very quickly resolved. The actual venue itself is beautiful, so many of our guests were blown away and we received so many comments of the food being the best they've ever eaten at a wedding. A special shoutout has to go to our dedicated events manager, Noni who helped make our day so special. Not once did we have to think about anything aside from enjoying the day and taking it all in. The attention to detail is outstanding. If you're considering Wasing Park - it'll be the best decision you make. We can't thank you enough for everything. X

Can we do it all over again?!
What a day! Wasing Park is magical. The stress is taken away because everything you need is on one site, once everyone is there you can enjoy the day from start to finish.
The girls stayed at Kitts Cottage the night before and we took use of the Old Farmhouse for the boys. The night before the wedding the bridal party all went out down the road to the Butts Inn pub for a meal and drinks before heading back to the Wasing Estate and our separare overnight accommodation. It was nice to start the wedding celebrations early.
We married in St Nicholas Church, Jane was our Priest and made everyone feel part of the ceremony. The welcome drinks went down a treat. The food is amazing - both presentation and the quality of food. Our wedding event manager Lucrecia put aside some canapes and a drink for us both so we could have some time together after we'd been taken away for our photos. We had the lamb as a main and it was cooked to perfection.
We came into the castle barn before the wedding breakfast and I was blown away by the set up, it's worth paying for the extra fairy lights to give it the 'wow' factor. No sooner have you finished the meal it's time to get the party started! We had the separate cocktail station which was set up next to the dance floor - we stayed on the dancefloor the whole night - reaching over every now and then for a cocktail to rehydrate (!) and dance again
Our guests loved the venue, it is stunning. We've had our first preview photos back and the backdrops from the Church to the countryside just make us want to relive it and do the whole thing again!
A lot of our guests stayed over in the on site accommodation overnight after the wedding. They get a link to make the bookings and pay themselves (outside of the package accommodation) so again, it's one less stress for yuo to worry about. Breakfast was lovely the next morning all together, with the stories of the day and night before beginning!
The Wedding staff walk you through the arrangements with a planner to complete by specific dates so you keep on track and keep a record of what you still have to do. In the final couple of weeks in the lead up to the wedding I put in a couple of calls panic checking on things and the girls were always friendly and happy to help.
You won't be disappointed, your wedding at Wasing will be the best day ever!! x

Perfection
We got married on 30th March 2023. Ceremony in St Nicholas and then reception in the castle barn. I am still hearing how lovely the venue was and how incredible the food was weeks later. I was so impressed with this venue start to finish. From booking in appointments to view, food tastings, our specific event planner. Everything ran so smoothly. I did not have to focus on anything during the day apart from getting married and having a good time. Catering was exceptional, especially the wood fire pizza's which were a favourite of most. We went for the Granary package and there was no shortage of food/drinks. Food allergies/intolerances fully catered for. All of the staff were smartly dressed, friendly and polite. Small details were thought of- umbrellas for the rain, a couple of drinks ready for us after the ceremony. I can think of no negatives. Lucrecia was our wedding and event co-ordinator and she did such an amazing job; very professional. Every question answered. She even signposted me to the Wasing well-being team for a bit of yoga the night before as we were staying in Kitts Cottage, such a good idea if you are staying the night before with family and friends! Thank you to Wasing Park and all of the lovely staff who made our day one to remember forever.

An amazing experience at Wasing
Wasing Park and its team hosted an exceptional wedding event, to celebrate us tying the knot, and we couldn't have asked for more from them.
We were first introduced to the venue during lockdown, we weren't able to visit straight away, but fell in love with the beauty and unique character of the entire site.
Both the garden room and the summer house are beautiful, offering multiple locations for a ceremony, and the castle barn is a stunning centrepiece to the day, serving as both a fantastic dining and disco area.
On top of that is the on site accommodation, which boasts a number of unique rooms within the standard accommodation package and even more high quality space if you have more guests wanting to stay. Those who did marveled at the comfortable beds and excellent breakfast the next morning.
Speaking of food, the food service for the wedding reception is spectacular. There are a number of options to suit all tastes, and the standard of service and quality of dishes was impeccable – certainly up to the standard of a high-end, bespoke restaurant service.
We opted for a premium choice – an outstanding beef Wellington – and had several guests clamouring for additional helpings. The starter and dessert courses didn't disappoint either, and were well paired with a generous wine selection available.
The staff were responsive and helpful throughout, effectively anticipating our needs and responding proactively to changes in the ever-volatile British weather, keeping everything running smoothly so we didn't have to worry about a thing.
Of particular note on the day were Imogen, and later Jenna, who ran the day for us. The team's service was prompt and turnaround was quick ready for the evening's entertainment.
In all Wasing is every bit the premium experience which you are paying for. The surroundings are peaceful and have some incredible locations for pictures (without anyone having to walk too far in heels), the new covered patio area is a great extension of the space – no doubt of even greater use in the summer months.
We couldn't be happier with the amazing Wasing experience and would highly recommend it.

Outstanding
We got married on Thursday 2nd of November 2023 and couldn’t have picked a better venue. Staff from the beginning were amazing (Izzi in the sales team) showing us around explaining and answering all our questions. Emma & Lucrecia (events team) for your quick response to my emails (quite a few 😂)
To our wedding organiser Noni, from helping decorating the venue, for making sure everything was on time and ready, for making us feel very relaxed and for being so attentive.
Food- very tasty, full of flavour😋
To conclude, we are very happy customers. You will be impressed with the beauty of the venue and very happy with the service they offer.
Thank you for making our big day so special.
Isabel & Fernando.
