An absolute fantastic wedding venue! Perfect!

Had such a wonderful wedding day and this was largely down to having our wedding reception at the Holiday Inn Reading West.
Their service through-out the day was immaculate. We were married at a church but had our wedding breakfast and evening reception at the hotel and it was absolutely faultless.
The arrival at the hotel after the church service was perfect - we were greeted warmly and our guests entertained.
The wedding breakfast was perfect - the food absolutely lovely and served within minutes to around 60 guests.
The evening reception was equally perfect, lovely food, brilliant service from superb staff. The hotel also has some wonderful settings for photos, particularly the courtyard.
I can genuinely say the whole experience at this venue was perfect. A particular thanks to Dylan, who organised everything and kept things ticking along smoothly - he was fantastic for us.
Would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a stress free, well organised wedding reception!!

Amazing day Thank you!!

We had an amazing day thank you and the experience was helped by how things went at the hotel.

We were all very pleased and it suited to what we wanted.

There were only a couple of things I felt could be improved on and I must stress this is being over critical and didn't affect our experience in anyway.

The bar/waiting staff were amazing and couldn't do enough for us there were just times during the meal where the bar was left unmanned and people weren't able to get drinks.

The only other Criticism I could make is the soup was a bit bland and the croutons were just soggy bits of bread, however his was made up by the exceptional main.

The beef was cooked to perfection and the whole meal was full of flavour.

Can't fault a single thing about the kids meals.

They were superb.

Like I said this points are me being extremely picky and didn't bother me at all and certainly wouldn't have mentioned if you hadn't asked for a review.

Would certainly recommend people to get married there and even stay for the night as the rooms were pleasant and the hotel staff were great.

Thanks again.

Mr and Mrs Marshall
