Our wedding at Wasing Park - 18 December 2025

I have thought hard about whether to leave a review of Wasing. However, I have decided to do so as I do not want other couples to experience what we did. For a start, let me say that the venue itself is stunning and the catering on the day was superb. There is a little church on the site where we got married and it is absolutely beautiful. However, our day was significantly marred by the conduct of the bar staff during the evening portion of our wedding day. I absolutely understand the importance of licensing law but their approach to policing this was overly aggressive. We had a number of nieces and nephews and godchildren at the wedding who were over 18. However, they did not have ID with them as it did not even occur to us that this would be an issue at a private wedding venue and they all, frankly, clearly look over 18. We vouched for their age as did their parents but the bar staff refused to serve them. Moreover, the bar staff started following adult guests buying drinks back to their tables. On seeing them giving drinks to young people they judged not to be 18, they confiscated the drinks and proceeded to bar the adults from buying any more drinks, even for themselves. Several of our adult guests were ‘barred’ in this way. Moreover, guests who were ordering whisky were interrogated about whether they were planning to drink them as shots. It was utterly ridiculous. Had the bar staff been polite it would not have been so bad. However, they were incredibly rude to our guests. This was particularly so after my husband and I raised the issue with the bar manager. She stormed off to contact her manager, at our request, but never bothered reporting back to us. After this, she and all the bar staff were like sulky children. Many guests commented on this to us. It was embarrassing and upsetting. I would not go so far as to say it ruined our wedding as the rest of the day was wonderful. However, this did cast a shadow on it, which is difficult to forget. I think the problem may have been that the bar staff were simply too young and immature. My husband and I reported this all back to Wasing but have not had a response. Sadly, as a result of this, I would not recommend Wasing to any couples, which is terribly sad as this venue is really lovely.

Great venue and a great team

Overall our experience with Wasing Park was very positive - they ensured we had a very enjoyable wedding day!

Positives:
- It's a great venue with options for indoor and outdoor ceremonies, a separate area for the wedding breakfast and lots of accommodation
- The team are well established for weddings so know all the requirements and great at coordinating the day
- The process for booking for us was streamlined and you have check in calls and a planning document to keep you on track
- On the day they kept everything running seamlessly

Cons
- One slight thing we faced is it feels like Wasing have a set plan for how they run all the weddings and there were instances where we got mixed communication about what we could and couldn't do

Lastly not a con but a general point - as expected for a venue of this size cost is a consideration - we filled out the venue with near maximum day guest capacity and all accommodation so it can be pricey but we felt it was value for money

Overall would definitely recommend

Great venue

Our Wasing wedding was incredible. The planning team are amazing and were always on hand to answer all of my questions. Jenna was a fantastic wedding coordinator and made the day run smoothly. So many of our guests said it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. The venue itself is beautiful. Ideal if you want to have the ceremony, reception and accommodation all in one place.

The most magical wedding day!

From the moment we went to view Wasing Park, we knew we had to get married there. The place itself is absolutely stunning and we loved how unique the accommodation was.

Imogen was our event manager and she was the kindest woman, nothing ever too much trouble! Communication with her was easy and whenever we had questions or queries, she made sure that she was on hand to answer them.

We stayed in the Home Farmhouse the night before and it was absolutely beautiful. When the hob didn't work, staff instantly came to the rescue and again, nothing was too much trouble.

The morning of was incredible smooth and I really appreciated Imogen coming to check in several times at the Honeymoon Suite to see if we needed anything and to keep us on schedule. When it started raining, she found us umbrellas to use and was always there to lend a hand, like carrying my train as we went down the stairs and as we moved to different areas of the estate. She went above and beyond all day to make sure that we had the perfect day!

The ceremony room was stunning and set up exactly as we imagined. We had a vision for timings when the bridal party would walk down the aisle and this was communicated to Imogen who made sure that it happened exactly as we wanted too.

The food was absolutely divine and many guests commented that it was the best wedding meal they had ever had. The staff were very professional in their service too and when food (accidentally) dropped on my wedding dress, staff instantly ran to my aid and managed to work magic to get it out without even a mark!

It truly felt like everyone working there took so much pride in their work and all wanted to make the day as special as possible.

Thank you so much to everyone for making our wedding day so magical and perfect!

Wedding Venue of Dreams!

We had our wedding at Wasing on the August bank holiday weekend. We are still on such a high after the most perfect day - the staff were absolutely incredible. Nikki did such a fantastic job on the day of looking after us and ensuring everything ran smoothly. It felt so calm and prepared - they are obviously so professional and everything has been thought of. The food was amazing - and plentiful! Our guests commented on how nice the food was. We had our ceremony in the church on-site which was absolutely magical - Jane the Reverend went above and beyond before, during and after our wedding day to make it the most perfect, smooth running celebration.
We would 100% say that Wasing is worth the money. The rooms are clean, unique and have a beautiful boutique feel. Our guests were giving each other tours of their rooms they wanted to show them off so much!
Everyone was made to feel welcomed, no request was too much for the staff and the grounds, rooms, church, chapel barn, stage, every area was absolutely perfect. Our only negative is that it is over :) Thank you Wasing!

The most incredible venue

We had the most amazing day thanks to Cali and her amazing team. Our whole process was stress free from booking to leaving the venue. They were hugely flexible in helping us to create our dream day. Nothing was too much trouble and this was a big thing to us for a stress free wedding. Food and service was perfect. Venue is just beautiful and unique. Thank you Wasing!

Booking Wasing Park was the best decision we made!

Wasing Park was the most incredible wedding venue we could've ever wished for. Firstly, we were blown away by how beautiful it is - it is like an oasis. It is an exclusive use venue and our guests couldn't stop commenting on how amazing it all was. The castle barn was so magical and the venue did an amazing job setting it up for us that I felt like we stepped into a movie. The bedrooms were all so quirky and enchanting too!

Although Wasing Park is a tad more expensive than some others, the pricing guide is clear from the start and there are no hidden fees. The venue staff go above and beyond to make it so worthwhile the cost. They are all so responsive and friendly in the run up to - even when I was asking questions a year before!!

We had Jenna to run our wedding on the day and she was INCREDIBLE. She made our day run like clock work and whenever you saw her she was always smiling and making you feel like VIPs! She brought over bubbles after the church and our own canape platter in the reception drinks which was such a treat. She was so helpful in the lead up too, and nothing was too big a challenge for Jenna. Honestly can't thank her enough.

The Ahern-Farebrother’s❤️

Honestly the most perfect day of our entire lives!

Imogen was our event manager and was amazing. She was super organised and on the ball but also really calm and focused which helps you so much on what could be a really stressful day!

Not one moment did we have to worry about what was happening on the day. Everything was taken care of. In the lead up to the day, we had so much confidence in the Venue and its staff. On the day they were amazing. All we had to do was enjoy ourselves!

From the catering staff, to the bar staff, to the accommodations staff, everyone would go above and beyond to help you or make the day run smoothly! I even had a member of the bar team sowing up my dress when I got a tear in the strap from dancing too hard!!!

The food was absolutely insane. Every one of our guests said how amazing it was, no one was left hungry or thirsty throughout the day. It felt like there was always food and drinks on offer.

We believe this is 100% the best wedding venue out there. All of our guests have since told us that it’s perfect and you couldn’t do better than Wasing!

Beautiful and seamless

The Wasing team made our wedding day as perfect as it could have been.
Everything looked exactly how I had imagined and was finished beautifully. The grounds are spectacular and having enough accommodation on site for many guests to stay made for an ever more magical experience.

The food was incredible, every guest commented on how good it was. You would never know it was mass catering, it was delivered as fine dining.

The service was impeccable, the whole day ran so smoothly, you were made to feel like royalty. Thank you so much to Jenna especially and everyone at the Wasing team.

Perfection, seamless, stunning and memorable

We only looked at Wasing Park, we’d travelled from Kent and the moment we’d had a tour with Daisy the decision was made, because it really is a venue that has it all.
As our date approached we were assigned Imogen as our event manager, she was always responsive to my emails and made sure that nothing felt like too much of an ask. On the day of the wedding she ensured it was seamless, the whole day flowed naturally without any pressure, it was a dream,
Our guests have all commented on how incredible the food was, that they were never hungry or thirsty and that the venue was “out of this world” and simply “stunning”.
I wouldn’t change a thing.
Thank you to everyone that was part of the running of our day, it impacted on so many people and made for the most memorable day.
Can we do it all over again please?!

Our happily ever after!

We honestly don’t have enough words to say how perfect our wedding day at Wasing Park was. From the moment we first visited, we had no other venue in mind - the grounds, the castle barn and the accommodation all on site, it was everything we were looking for!

We had Imogen as our venue coordinator. She was warm, calm, and completely on top of everything. We always felt supported in the lead-up to the day, and on the day itself, she made everything flow so smoothly that we could just enjoy every second without stress.

The food and drinks were another highlight to our day, from the canapés, wedding breakfast and truffle all the way through to the evening pizza everything was delicious, and the staff were brilliant.
Every little detail was thought through and taken care of. It really allowed us to be in the moment, surrounded by the people we love in a place that felt truly magical.

Thank you, Wasing, and thank you Imogen – you gave us a day we’ll never forget.

Faultless. Best day ever!

Can we do it again?! Imogen and the team were amazing from the first show around, through the planning period, and on the day. Nothing was ever too big of an ask. A lot is said about how much effort goes into organising a wedding but far less said about how much work goes on behind the scenes on the day to make it run as seamlessly as it did - the Wasing team are another level of smooth operators!! We never had to worry about what the time was, being hungry or thirsty or where we had to be - and I know our guests felt the same! The food was unreal, service impeccable and we've had so many comments about the day and the gorgeous Wasing Park from our guests already.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU from the bottom of our very full hearts! We had the best day ever.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
