We had the most wonderful wedding reception at Hotel du Vin, Winchester and everything went smoothly from start to finish. The wedding coordinators were so helpful and listened to what we wanted, and went out of their way to meet our needs. All of the staff work very hard to ensure that everything goes perfectly and all was just as we had hoped. The courtyard is a gorgeous location, but we had the reassurance of the function room in the event of bad weather, which we didn't need for the BBQ but was great for the evening entertainment. The food was good quality and I thought the cost was good value for the high level of service we received.

Firstly it was an absolute pleasure to have Winchester Cathedral as our venue for our wedding and the process over the last 2 years has been made stress free, fun and enjoyable by the amazing Team they have headed by Jack. From help with decision making on which chapels would suit our numbers best to make sure our wedding party and guests were catered for and everything in between Jack and the team at the Cathedral worked effectively to ensure the day ran smoothly. I would strongly recommend that you consider Winchester Cathedral for your wedding and the newly built Garden Pavilion is top tier for the a lovely spring/summer wedding/reception with open lawns spaces, beautiful views of the Cathedral and indoor seating area for your meal and of course you can’t forget about space to dance and have some drinks in the evening with an indoor bar as well. The staff during the run up to the wedding were always so helpful and friendly likewise with staff on and after the big day, helping to set up and pack away as much as possible to make the experience relaxing. Also, if you want to include different types of cuisine within your wedding breakfast don’t be afraid to make the request as the chefs are able to provide dishes that are fitting for the momentous occasion. From the venue to the staff to the service provided, Winchester Cathedral will allow you to live the dream of having your special day just the way you want it.

Cannot recommend the team at The Winchester Hotel & Spa enough, they were incredible. From the run time of our entire day to the finer details of finishing touches. They were so thorough and brought in their expertise along the way (especially with the timings). They worked to our budget and The Crystal Room looked stunning, decorated to perfection! Cannot thank the staff enough, the same staff at the reception were at breakfast the next morning and it was so nice to build the relationships in such a small space of time.

We had our wedding in May 2026 and it was perfect from the first showround until we left the hotel as a married couple!! Our wedding co-ordinator was there throughout the whole process and went out of her way to ensure we had everything ready for our special day! We had a 70 people in our wedding ceremony for a seated wedding breakfast as well as an evening BBQ for additional 30 guests for the evening bit. I can honestly recommend this venue and staff so highly, so if you want to plan your wedding with no stress and ease - that's the right venue for you.

What a fantastic place to have a wedding realy worked hard to get everything working smoothly, thank you Kian and your team!

We were so impressed with the venue on the day. All the staff were so friendly and approachable. The food was fantastic! We found that everything went very smoothly and if there were any problems (which there weren't!), we felt that we could easily approach a member of staff and ask. Harvey and I are very grateful for your help in organising. You're brilliant at your job and made us feel at ease with everything that was planned! If there are any awards for the University of Winchester staff or for wedding venue coordinators, we would happily nominate you!

The whole team were always very helpful and professional. They couldn’t have done more to make our ceremony go without a hitch. I would certainly recommend the venue for weddings. It was s special and personal occasion. Mike and Judy (October 2023)

The Barn at Avington is the most perfect and unique venue! We are so glad we chose to get married at the barn. The barn offered us so much more than other venues, they only have one wedding per week, we had flexibility with our choice of suppliers, our guests were able to camp on site with us and most of all we were able to decorate the barn exactly to our taste, meaning we were able to create our perfect wedding day. Beth was absolutely amazing throughout and especially in the week leading up to our wedding where she helped us decorate the barn and make our vision come to life, she even helped us make all of our own flower arrangements!! We would 100% recommend the barn, it is such a special venue!
