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 Garden Room is a warm and characterful space to hold your civil ceremony at Wasing Park. Set within tranquil gardens, its rustic oak beams, aged brickwork and contemporary walls of glass bi-fold doors boast views of the Castle Barn making for a beautifully customisable space to encapsulate your dream day. 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 13th-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 stylishly 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. For couples who book The Old Estate Rooms for their wedding night, Wasing Park offers complimentary use of the Bridal 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.

Most Magical Wedding Venue

We honestly cannot recommend Wasing Park enough! ❤️
From the very beginning of planning our wedding right through to saying goodbye at the end of the day, everything was absolutely exceptional.
A huge special thank you to Imogen, who was truly incredible throughout the entire process. She was always so helpful, friendly, calm and reassuring, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was exactly how we had imagined it, and having someone so supportive and lovely there throughout the planning made such a huge difference. She was also absolutely wonderful with our little boy, Finley, on the day – so kind, patient and caring, which meant so much to us.
The day itself was simply magical. The food was absolutely incredible, and we honestly lost count of how many of our guests commented on how amazing everything tasted! The service was equally fantastic, with the whole team being so attentive, professional and friendly throughout the day. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how wonderful the food, service and venue were.
Every little detail was taken care of, and we felt completely looked after from the moment we arrived until the moment we said goodbye. Wasing Park gave us the most perfect wedding day and created memories that we will treasure forever.
Thank you so much to Imogen and the entire Wasing Park team for everything you did for us. We genuinely couldn't have asked for anything more and will be forever grateful. ❤️
If you are considering Wasing Park for your wedding, do it – you absolutely will not regret it!

The best wedding venue there is!

My husband and I got married here at the beginning of August and we have aboslutely no regrets in doing so! The grounds are so beautiful and the day was so perfect.

Our event manager, Imogen was so incredible and did the most amazing job. She was was so attentive, patient and literally made sure we had nothing to do on the day. It really was the best day of our lives and a lot of that was down to her and the team at Wasing. Imogen really went above and beyond for everything!

We'd also like to feedback how many people have said how insane the venue was and how the food was the best wedding food they had ever eaten. The presentation was so impressive, especially considering the amount of people it was for. Every single one of the staff were also very friendly and helpful, which people commented on too.

We are so happy we went for this venue (which was a very easy decision) and will be highly recommending it to others!

The best venue there is!

I actually couldn't recommend Wasing Park highly enough as a venue! It looks incredible, the grounds, the accommodation, the venue are all stunning, with all of our guests in awe at the layout! A place is made by it's people though, and the staff are nothing short of exceptional. They provide such a great service, from the initial arrival, to the food, to the bar, and just the overall service. They really helped make our day as seamless and enjoyable as it could've been. We'd choose Wasing as our wedding venue every time, so if you want a venue for a wedding, look no further!

Summer wedding at Wasing

We got married at Wasing this summer, and couldn’t recommend it highly enough! The food was incredible and we got so many compliments on the canapés, meal and evening food. The venue itself is so beautiful and the guests loved the accommodation, it’s such a nice touch to be able to have breakfast with your guests the day after the wedding. Wasing also has a great set up for live music with a stage, and that was a really big part of the wedding for us.

Lauren was our coordinator, and she did an amazing job in the run up and on the day. She made everything run smoothly and had thought of absolutely everything before we even thought to ask the question! We didn’t have to worry about anything at all and could completely relax and enjoy our day knowing she had everything in hand!

Magical venue!

The team at Wasing were outstanding in their responsiveness, friendliness and flexibility. Big shout out to Cali who was incredibly charming and made sure everything was perfect on the day. Everything was very well organised, the planning was made easy, and the whole experience was extremely enjoyable including the menu tasting evening. All our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and raved about the food. A most magical day to remember. Thank you.

Rossino’s wedding!

For our wedding we had Imogen as our coordinator and we can’t thank her enough for how amazingly smooth our wedding went! She was always one step ahead, made quick changes when little hickups happened and was so calm and patient which really made us feel at ease. She was always there when we needed her and you can really tell she takes a lot of pride in what she does and she does a sensational job! Not a bad word to say in regards to our lovely coordinator Imogen, thank you for a magical day we will never forget!

Towards the end of the day we had another manager put in charge who was lovely and was very friendly and happy to help in any way! However we did feel that when Imogen left that parts of the day were not taken care of as much. They are only minor things however such as when the evening food and the cake was served outside it wasn’t announced or communicated to anyone so a lot of our guests missed out on this as they didn’t know it was ready. We also didn’t realise that the bar doesn’t serve any cocktails which again is only a minor issue but it would have been nice to have known this prior.

Apart from these little things that didn’t affect the enjoyment of the day we are so happy that we chose Wasing to host our wedding it is the most beautiful back drop and all the staff were so lovely and attentive and we cannot wait to see our wedding pictures at this beautiful venue! Thank you to all Wasing staff and specifically Imogen!

Amazing!!!

We had the absolute BEST wedding at Wasing Park. The venue was stunning with loads of amazing spaces to choose from. The rooms were gorgeous. Everyone commented on how great the food was (including the evening food!). But most of all the service was exceptional. Cali in particular was great at helping us in the lead up - always answering my millions of questions very quickly and making sure everything was covered. On the day we didn't have to worry about a thing - it was all sooo smooth and well run (even when we made some last minute changes!). All the staff were so friendly too. To top it off someone even left us some pizza and cake in our room for when we got in (we were too busy dancing to have had any!) - it was such a nice touch!
Couldn't recommend this venue enough - was really a perfect day!

Amazing Wedding at Wasing!

We had the most amazing wedding at Wasing in March 2026!

We live nearby, so booked a viewing and were sold on the venue straight away, it really is a beautiful setting.

All of the communication with the team was great, from email communication to Zoom calls and the food tasting event was a lovely day too.

Our day went so smoothly, Jenna and the team had everything under control and the food was absolutely delicious - the chefs were able to cater to any dietary requirements easily too.

Would highly recommend Wasing Park.

Amazing Wasing!

We had the most perfect day at Wasing Park. From the very beginning of planning to the day itself, the Wasing team were so responsive to every phone call and email. We had the incredible Lauren on the run up to help us and we couldn't praise her anymore. The food was amazing with incredible service. Everything was perfect. Guests have not stopped complimenting the day either. Thank you so much for an incredible day!

Spring wedding

We couldn’t have asked for a better day, it was everything we had dreamed of and more.

The venue is absolutely stunning and we had so many comments on this from wedding guests.

The day was run so smoothly by Jenna, she was an absolute star! The evening manager was also fab. Nothing was too much and they went above and beyond. Extremely flexible and when the whether changed with a split second, they re arranged confetti throw to be outside.

The food was delicious and served so quickly, we had a lot of positive feedback on the service provided by Wasing.

We had the BEST day and I can’t thank you all enough!

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.
