Donnington Grove lies West of Newbury in Berkshire; a county known for its regal connections, beautiful countryside and charming historic towns. The venue whilst nestled in its 500 acres of picturesque grounds is also easily accessible to the M4 providing easy access to London and other major cities. Your out-of-town guests can enjoy a peaceful journey by road or train, with the nearest station just 2 miles away.

The 18th century style country house is set at the end of a winding drive through rolling golf course and countryside. A picturesque bridge takes you over the River Lambourn passing ducks and swans and on to pass breathtaking views over the lake before arriving at the grand entrance. There is no more perfect a setting to return to later and capture magical photo moments as newlyweds.

Donnington Grove can host civil ceremonies of up to 100 guests and evening celebrations for up to 150. For smaller ceremonies our Avon Room offers an intimate and cosy space. Should you wish for a more unique experience, the Japanese temple in our walled garden is breathtaking, a truly unforgettable location to share your vows.

Donnington Grove is an estate that offers you so much. With our stunning golf course and driving range on site, along with a beauty retreat, beautiful woodland and lakeside walks. Why not extend your celebrations over more than one day making the most of our facilities the day before your wedding before settling in for the evening with refreshments and delicious meal in our lakeside bar and restaurant. Then stay in style in one of our stunning guest rooms, luxurious lake view lodges or in our temple lodge in a secluded walled garden before waking up refreshed, excited and ready for the big day ahead! Whether you are looking for energising or relaxing, we are proud to say we can do it all.

Perfect wedding venue

From the moment we first set foot in Donnington Grove for a wedding fair, we were made to feel welcome and valued. We can’t recommend it highly enough - the staff are incredibly friendly, our wedding organiser, Charlie Hill, couldn’t do enough to make the day perfect for us, the grounds make fantastic photo backdrops, the food was fantastic and the package is incredibly generous. My parents, bridesmaid and I (bride) are there in the restaurant the night before and that was delicious too, we will be going back! All in all, you don’t need to look any further than here if you want a fantastic and memorable wedding day. Our guests are still enthusing :-)

Ian and Sarahs Wedding Day 21 MArch 2015

Dear Nigel

I would like you to know that we were absolutely delighted with the superb wedding celebration that Charlie and his team put on for us on Saturday. I cannot begin to tell you just how thrilled we were and how flawlessly everything went. The preparation was perfect, the service was outstanding, the food was delicious – what more can I say? Several people said to me that the food was the best they had ever had at a wedding.



I know that Ian and Sarah were delighted too and will want to thank Charlie themselves, but I wanted you to know what a great asset you have there – you should be very proud of him.



I’ve copied him on this note and won’t spare his blushes!



Many thanks again for a superb day.

Regards

David McTurk
