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.

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 Walled Garden, and Home Farmhouse, a 6-bedroom cottage just a short walk from the venue.

The Perfect Venue

Wow, where do we begin. The Wasing Estate is one of the most beautiful places we've ever been to! Lucrecia and team were so attentive and accommodating to our every need. From reassuring us that we'd definitely got everything in hand, to calming me down on our wedding day (to say I was flustered was an understatement). Lucrecia took care of all timings so that we didn't have to stress ourselves any further. The whole team made us feel so special by constantly telling us how unique, authentic and beautiful our wedding was. And then we come to the food... we chose the Farmhouse option to have a more relaxed feel to our day and WOW. The food at Wasing is out of this world. Every single one of our guests, no matter the dietary requirement was blown away. The team even put aside our own plate of canapés for the drinks reception and left us two pizzas in the Honeymoon Suite for when our evening was over. This was such a lovely touch. We could go on and on about all the amazing accommodation, packages and people at Wasing, but it's best you go see for yourself. As hopefully, you'll fall in love the second you step foot on the estate like we did.

Our Perfect Wedding

Thank you so much to Imogen and Ella for making our day so special. We had the best day and can’t believe how smoothly everything went- it was perfect! All of our guests also had high praise of you all and the day, so we can’t thank you enough!

The wedding was absolutely stunning in the autumn, the staff were all so professional and put everyone at ease.

The rooms and food were both outstanding and couldn’t ask for anything more! Thank you!

Lots of love,

Rachelle and Daniel

A Magical Wedding Venue

Wasing Park was the only Venue that we viewed and we knew as soon as we visited that it was for us!

It really has it all from a Church on-site should you wish to opt for a Religious Ceremony, a stunning Barn and an abundance of beautiful Accommodation! Our criteria when we started planning our Wedding was a Church Wedding, a Rustic Barn and Accommodation on-site to house as many as our friends and family as possible, and we really couldn't believe that we found a venue in which we had to make absolutely no compromises.

It just so happened that we had Lucrecia alongside us for the whole journey from showing us around the Venue, to holding our initial Planning Meeting and then being assigned as our Event Manager. We feel so lucky to have had someone so knowledgeable and kind helping us along the way, in what can be an incredibly stressful time! There was no email that went unanswered by the whole of the Wasing Park Event Team, and always within a day or two which made the process so much easier for us. Every response was always worded so kindly & we were really made to feel like we mattered from day one.

Lucrecia knows Wasing Park inside out and that really showed when we handed over all of our items on the morning of the Wedding & didn't have to think about them again! We were blown away with just how beautiful Castle Barn looked and that was all thanks to the Team for preparing the Venue so well for us.

Our Wedding morning was completely stress free and that was all thanks to Lucrecia and the Wasing Park Team as well as our wonderful Suppliers, ensuring that everything that was taken care of for us!

The whole day ran so smoothly and both ourselves and our guests were treated so well and with such kindness! No one went without from the Drinks Reception, during our Meal Service & into the evening! We really were all made to feel so welcome and part of the Wasing Family!

So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the Venue is & how much they enjoyed our Wedding! The Venue speaks for itself & alongside the most beautiful Flowers & wonderful Lighting, there was so little that we needed to add to ensure that our day was everything that we had hoped it would be.

If you are looking for a Five Star venue, with Staff who will bend over backwards to help you as well as the most delicious Menu choices, then Wasing Park is the venue for you! We feel so lucky that we were able to spend our Wedding Day there & will forever cherish the memories that we have made.

Special venue for our special day

The first time that we visited Wasing Park it felt magical and we were so pleased that we chose this stunning venue for our wedding day! Imogen, Ella and her team couldn’t have been more helpful and ensured that the day ran smoothly from start to finish. We barely had to think about a thing as we knew the team would have it covered!
The setting is beautiful, the food was delicious and the staff really look after you. Not just on the wedding day, but during the lead up to the big day too. You have a million things to think about but all you have to do is follow their lead because they are so organised and nothing is too much trouble. Thank you so much for making our day so special, we will treasure the memories we made at Wasing Park forever.

The most amazing day!

My husband and I had the best day at Wasing Park.

It was everything we had dreamt of and more. From as soon as we were on site in the morning, right until breakfast the next morning, we felt taken care of and special.

We couldn’t keep count of the amount of praise and comments from our guests about the professionalism of the Wasing team, the unbelievable food and just how seamless the day was.

Special thanks to Lucrecia our wedding coordinator for the day. She made sure everything was sorted, she was so kind and answered all our questions!

We highly recommend this wedding venue!

Fantastic!

Getting married at Wasing Park was one of the best decisions we made. The venue, staff and overall experience was incredible. Wasing has the WOW factor from the moment you arrive. The staff were incredible and made our day that extra bit special. They made our day personal and nothing was too much. Emma, our wedding coordinator, was fantastic and made everything easy. We had no responsibility on the day as it was all taken cared of! If I could do it all over again I'd pick Wasing Park every time. Thank you. You made our wedding incredible!

Incredible venue, incredible people!

We got married at Wasing in August and had the absolute best day! Of course the venue is stunning, but the staff really make the venue perfect. Our event manager Emma, was an absolute dream, she seemed to just pop up anytime we needed her! She was just the perfect energy you want around on your wedding day and helped to make the day a breeze!
Even ours guests commented on how amazing the staff were!
The day was everything we dreamed of and more, we're so thankful to Wasing for giving us the perfect day.

A real-life fairytale

We had our wedding at Wasing Park in September 2024 and it was absolutely out of this world. In the lead up, the staff at Wasing were so helpful, informative and happy to answer any questions. You can tell they are experts at what they do, the lead up was so calm and the staff were so easy to deal with.

The day itself - words will never do it justice. The food was absolutely incredible, the staff were amazing and so organised and professional. They knew what I needed before I even asked! We had the most beautiful, magical day and we'll treasure it for the rest of our lives.

Our guests were in awe of how beautiful the venue was, from the bedrooms to the castle barn and the grounds, the gardens.. they just felt like they were in another world. It's such a beautiful place to get married and I would recommend it to everyone

The most stunning venue!

Wow! Wasing Park was incredible. We had our wedding day in September and they really exceeded expectations. From the months of help in planning before the big day, to the gorgeous cottage to stay in the night before and the excellent running of the day, it was more than we could have hoped for. The food was also delicious. Thank you to Lucrecia (our event manager) and the rest of the team for all your help in throwing us the most perfect day. We’ll never forget it.

The Perfect Wedding Day

Wasing park is a stunning venue, my husband and I fell in love with it the second we saw it. As a venue it ticks all of the boxes you could want, stunning location, excellent accommodation, amazing food, but most of all the staff are brilliant! Jenna, our wedding planner, was absolutely fabulous! She brought us a separate plate of canapes, she had the answers to all our questions before and on the day, and she made sure the day went ahead without a single hiccup! We cannot recommend Wasing Park enough, it really is the perfect venue!

The most perfect day

We loved Wasing from the minute we drove down the drive at their open day. It is such a beautiful venue and was perfect for us with the accommodation on site.
All of their help and support in the lead up was brilliant and it helped they are absolute experts at weddings! We were assigned Imogen in the lead up and for on the day, and she was fab always making sure we had what we needed as well as given us dedicated canapés on the day!
One of the reasons we chose Wasing was for the food and we got so many compliments from guests on the day that it was the best wedding food they’d ever had. We also really appreciated the pizza waiting for us at the end of the night! It goes by in a flash like everyone says but it was even more beautiful than we thought it was going to be.
Thank you so much Imogen and the team.

My perfect wedding day

From the start of my wedding day everything was perfect.
Firstly, the venue is absolutely stunning, it’s exclusive and beautiful. Jenna our wedding planner did an amazing job of setting up everything for our wedding, making it stress free for the groom Harry. When I arrived at the honeymoon suite everything was there waiting for me and made getting ready a lot easier.
Once married, we were constantly given food and drinks which was needed as we were so busy having our photos taken.
The food was out of this world, we had nearly every single guest comment on how amazing the food was and how full they were. Which is exactly what we were looking for in our wedding!
Jenna went above and beyond for our day and supported us massively while planning as during this time we were expecting a baby too so this was added pressure on top, but Jenna was very understanding and helpful. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to help on our day, even calming my nerves before I walked to the church, which may seem minor but to me that meant a lot.
If I could come back to wasing again I 100% would. I think everyone should get married here as it’s fantastic! Thank you Wasing, but thank you Jenna for making our wedding day the best day! X

Incredible venue in a beautiful setting with fantastic staff

The staff at Wasing are phenomenal from the kitchen team to the food service to the event managers. In the lead up to the wedding there is a big spreadsheet which they help you fill out, but it means your day runs like a well-oiled machine. Imogen was our event manager and from answering a million questions to her professionalism, support and management of staff, vendors and guests with additional needs, she was incredible. We couldn't have asked for better. I highly recommend working with Cherubs and Celebration Cakes on their preferred vendors list. They have all been working together for years and it made everything so much easier.
Flexibility around menus, drinks etc. is available but its expensive to go off piste! However the options to bring in extra wine and champagne meant that everyone had plenty to drink.
The food was incredible. Most of our guests talked about how it was the best food they've ever had a wedding, and the portions were ample meaning nobody went hungry! The team's ability to cater for dietary needs, allergies and intolerances was second to none and the service to ensure everybody gets the right meal is fantastic. Everybody is served on their table at the same time, table by table which again so many people thought was a fantastic touch as it felt like Michelin starred service.
The rooms at the venue are amazing with really comfy beds, beautiful bathrooms and soft linens. I also highly recommend hiring Home Farmhouse the night before the wedding as it meant that not only the bride but also the key wedding party members can stay at the venue overnight.

The best day ever

Imogen was extremely helpful from the moment we booked to have our wedding at Wasing Park. We were amazed at how seamless the day was and a lot of that was due to how organised and attentive Imogen was. We had an amazing day, the sun was shining and the food was incredible.
