Last update: May 2024

Wickham Estate is a unique wedding venue set amongst a beautiful 40-acre vineyard. Specially renovated to hold weddings, the grounds hold an outdoor and indoor ceremony space, quaint courtyard, main barn, on-site accommodation and, not to mention the many beautiful spots perfect for photos.


Licensed For Ceremonies

The 2 spectacular ceremony areas are;
The Gazebo- the rustic hut that sits right next to the vines. The wow factor when it comes to outdoor weddings. With a long aisle to make your entrance, it certainly will be a ceremony to remember.
The Vine Room- a naturally beautiful setting with large floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase the stunning vines. Large halo chandeliers and the neutral colour palette make this room so special and intimate.


The Perfect Venue

The main barn, called The Old Winery, was remodelled to hold your wedding breakfast and evening reception. With original wooden beams, chandeliers made of vintage crystal cut wine glasses, fairy lights and 10ft oak doors that make a grand entrance and open out into the adjoining courtyard.
The courtyard is the perfect place to enjoy sipping our very own premium English sparkling wine or perhaps a beer or glass of Pimms in the Summer sunshine.

The vineyard has a relaxed, romantic atmosphere that flows beautifully through the day and is the perfect combination of outside and inside. Enjoy the amazing sunsets over the vines and stay cosy and warm in the Old Winery. Whatever your dream wedding is, Wickham Estate can bring that to life. With our friendly and dedicated team of coordinators to help you through the planning process and on your special day itself.

I would pick Wickham estate over and over again

We got married in October. My favourite time of year the vines were beautiful colours. From the moment our journey began the girls at Wickham Estate have made every aspect of our wedding special.
The grounds are so beautiful and so well kept all year round. The wine is delicious like no other we have had before. The cottage is a special touch to stay in and the bridal prep room is a high light. The venue is a must see if it is an option for anyone’s wedding.
The staff are truly wonderful people and want everyone to have the best day. Abbie and Lucy made me feel so relaxed and assisted the day smoothly with personal touches.
Pay attention to the detail around the vineyard such as the beautiful lights. Massive love to the catering and Laurel designs who made our wedding perfect! In any life time I would do it all again exactly the same.

The most perfect day!

From the moment we stepped foot in Wickham Estate - we knew it would be the most perfect venue for our Wedding. Despite the rain and cold (in August!!), the surroundings were beautiful, the staff were friendly and the venue itself was elegant, charming and full of character. Little did we know that a year on, we would have the most perfect day of our lives with blue skies and bright sunshine! From the outset, the customer service was impeccable. We were guided through every decision with knowledge and expertise from all the wedding co-ordinators and we can't thank Keira, in particular, enough for going above and beyond. She may us feel like the only people who have ever got married there making every moment so special. Hannah and the team at Exquisite Caterers were just as professional, approachable and helpful not to mention some of the most delicious food we've ever had! A huge shout out to the wine as well! We chose the venue because of the amazing location and how picturesque it was and didn't expect to have such incredible wine as well! The whole day ran smoothly and even if something went wrong, we would never have known! The staff worked tirelessly to make it unforgettable. The atmosphere was amazing; the day was full of fun and laughter and nothing was too much or too complicated for the team at Wickham Estate. I have to make a special mention again to Kiera; I have never seen someone work so hard to make every moment one to remember. It felt like we had known us for years! She took the time to listen to us and get to know us and totally understood our vibe and concept, she communicated between suppliers and our family to get everything in place and sorted whilst making the morning of the wedding stress free for the Bride and Groom. If we could get married again, every year at Wickham Estate - we most definitely would! Thank you to the everyone for the most perfect day!

Incredible venue.

Having been let down by another wedding venue, Wickham Vineyard stepped in like our fairy godmother and gave us the most beautiful wedding, more incredible than we could have imagined. Guests commented on the stunning location and brilliant food. Aaron and I were moved by how much Kiera and Abbie were able to make us feel like our wedding was the most important thing in the world to them. They made everything go so smoothly from start to finish so that we didn’t even need to think about anything on our special day.

Best venue & team - faultless!! 5*

The ladies over at Wickham Estate have been incredible from day 1 of booking the venue with Sam right through to the wedding day.
We viewed twice before booking and didn’t regret it! Communication was readily and the team always available to help with any queries or questions. They gave us help / inspiration if we asked, suggest what has and hasn’t worked previously, and what options we had. We had the most epic wedding day, better than we ever could have imagined (and hotter too) Everything was so smooth & seamless. Dare I say it wedding planning with you all was so easy – I don’t know how people get stressed. Your venue is stunning and getting married out amongst the vines was beautiful. I couldn’t recommend the ladies and this venue highly enough!!

The perfect day!

We had the perfect day - the setting was beautiful and the staff were incredible - Abbie was excellent and she ensured the day ran really smoothly. The canapés and main meal food were delicious and everyone we spoke to complimented the food, the wine and the venue - they all had such a great time. We loved the flow of the day through the venue and we were lucky with the weather which meant we could make good use of the vineyard and centre outdoor area for some beautiful photos. The staff were so helpful in moving our decorations between rooms for us so we maximised their use and we were also impressed with how they worked with the DJ and Amy’s father’s band to make the evening reception so much fun. We can’t thank you enough for making our day so special.

Amazing Wedding Day

Absolutely incredible day, from start to finish Abbie & Lucy were always on hand guiding us throughout the day ensuring we all knew what was happening. Venue was stunning, staff were excellent. Fantastic stay in the house. Brilliant facilities couldn't have wished or hoped for anything more for our special day especially walking back up the aisle confetti being thrown & Abbie waiting for us at the top with a drink!! Thank you all. Mr & Mrs Worth

Truly magical, wouldn’t have changed a thing! And the staff and venue is perfect!!


From the minute we came and viewed the venue we knew instantly it was the one. Having a summer wedding and also lots of kids in the family, it was so important to us to have a nice outdoor area. The ceremony area is so picturesque, it was exactly what we were looking for. Without a doubt though, the courtyard was the best area. Having that outdoor area to hold the drinks reception, set up kids activities and seating in the sun and shade simply made the day, as many of our guests also agreed. It is the perfect size, just big enough to not feel overcrowded, but not small enough people felt cramped.The wedding breakfast area was perfectly planned out so everybody could see the top table and also hear the speeches! And when the tables were cleared in the evening the dance floor was the perfect size and right by the bar which was ideal.The venue was perfectly clean and amazingly decorated and it has enough parking for everyone that can be left overnight.Not one person could fault the food either, the portions were more than enough and all delicious! Drinks were very reasonably priced and we and all the guests too never had an empty hand. The on site house was a blessing also. Having an area for people to go and get a quiet minute if needed for a tea or coffee and also for the all the bridesmaids to get ready in the morning took so much stress off them and maybe their preparation so so much easier!

I honestly couldn’t fault the place at all.From the minute we began planning the staff couldn’t have been more helpful and tailored to our every need. In particular Lucy! She was absolutely incredible! Every single thing we needed or wanted she went above an beyond to do for us! Even on the day with specific needs, and last minute changes she made them happen and ultimately made our day so perfect and exactly how we wanted so we can’t thank her enough!

All in all, we couldn’t have had a better day and the venue and staff were a massive part of that!

Beautiful wedding venue

We had our wedding here in June 2023. It was perfect. The venue is beautiful. The wine is outstanding. The food was delicious. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, and were incredibly helpful both in the lead up to the wedding and on the big day itself. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We had a couple of wheelchair users attending the wedding and the venue is completely accessible. We would absolutely recommend Wickham Estate - it's a fantastic place to have a wedding. Wish we could do it all over again!

Breathtaking!

We were originally supposed to get married in Greece but for many reasons had to cancel the wedding and plan a UK wedding at the last minute. Wickham estate couldn’t have been more accommodating and saved our wedding! Our family and friends commented on how they were so glad we got married here as not only was it a beautiful venue but the staff made the day as they had everything under control which meant none of the wedding party had to worry about a thing!
It was a day I will never forget and it couldn’t have been more perfect.
I attend wreath making at Wickham estate every year just as an excuse to return to my beautiful wedding venue. It is dreamy!

Best wedding venue in Hampshire!

We booked Wickham Estate for our wedding and 6 short months later we got married. Lois definitely made that short time frame possible, sensational organisational skills and kind demeanour making it stress free. We weren’t sure what we wanted for our wedding venue but when we saw the vineyard we knew it ticked all boxes. We wanted to make sure all of our guests were catered to with accommodation on site for our elderly family, no commute between ceremony and venue and a beautiful backdrop. We could not ask for more from what the venue offers and the incredible attention to detail from Lois. The support the entire way through was outstanding and I know without Lois I would have not been a stress free bride. Thank you so much for all your support the entire way through, we had the best day ever.

Second to None.

From initial viewing to the wedding day itself Three Chiors provided the most incredible service, Grace and Lois were both there to aid with all our queries and worries. The wedding day itself was perfect, the team were extremely flexible, nothing was too much.
We cannot recommend Three Chiors enough; the venue is beautiful, offers great value for money, the catering is lovely, and the wine is absolutely delicious.

Fantastic Venue & Experience

From start to finish the events team were so helpful, quick on emails and always happy to help. Our wedding day was seamless, the staff were always on hand when required. The girls are so friendly and really added a lovely calming vibe on the day. The venue speaks for itself and requires very minimal dress up. The food was also delicious, nice sized positions with excellent presentation. Can’t thank the team enough for our beautiful day.

Just amazing.

I simply couldn't praise Three Choirs enough. After two postponements due to Covid, we finally made it third time lucky and it was just the most amazing day.
Throughout Covid, Samantha was always available to talk through any concerns we had, was prepared to move our dates and talk through all our different options and how we could make it all work. She was such a comfort and it made such a difference in what was a really anxious time.
In the run up to the wedding, Lois was simply wonderful. She was so detailed and knowledgeable and nothing was too much to ask, even though 'TBC was my go to phrase through the planning stages! She took the pressure off by liaising with suppliers on our behalf and dealt with any issues quietly behind the scenes.
I would absolutely 100% recommend the house if you can. It was really special getting ready at the venue but also being able to stay the night and not have to worry about going anywhere made a really wonderful end to the evening. We also use Mother of the Tribe to help look after the children at the wedding and they were just amazing and completely worth the cost.
It was the most wonderful and perfect day and I couldn't be more grateful to the amazing team at Three Choirs. The venue was perfect and it was everything we wanted. Thank you x
