Jade P. Sent on 30/07/2021Beautiful and unique venue
Our dream venue in every way! We were looking for somewhere unique, relaxed, bright and flexible and that's exactly what we got (and more!). I think every guest commented on what a stunning and fun venue it was (we took advantage of having the steam train running for guests and used the outdoor space to have garden games and space hoppers). It was great to be able to tailor the day and venue to suit us exactly. The venue can be dressed as you like but we kept things simple to show off the beauty of the venue and surroundings. We had brilliant suppliers, some from suggestion of the venue and some we found ourselves.
Emma was wonderful to work with, really keen to make our dream day a reality and so accommodating when we had to rearrange twice due to the pandemic, I'm sure she must have been brilliant on the day too as it all came together like magic and we didn't have to do a thing!Buckinghamshire Railway Centre's reply:
Dear Jade and Russell, Thank you for your lovely comments. We are so happy that you had a wonderful day. It was a pleasure hosting your special day with you lovely family and friends. We wish you all the happiness for your future together, please come back and see us all soon. Emma & the Team x -

A wedding like no other!
Look no further, you have stumbled across what is likely the best and most unique venue, coordinated by the most fantastic team.
Not only were Belinda and her team responsive, proactive, and ludicrously helpful in the run up (a stressful time), but their help and coordination on the day was brilliant. Belinda even helping to give our DJ and the registrars a thumbs up when it was time to walk down the Isle.
The platform is the perfect shape and width for a wedding isle, flanked by gorgeous historic carriages and steam locomotive. And the lighting and bunting Belinda coordinated for us for spot on.
I would definitely recommend booking the steam train, even if you're not an enthusiast. We took our champagne in the Victorian coaches, talked with different friends on each ride up, and conversed at length with the loco crew. It was a surprise to everyone who didn't realise there would be one running on the actual day.
Signing of our vows was in a railway carriage used by Winston Churchill, and Dwight D Eisenhower. A great opportunity for pictures, but we could wave through the windows or the carriage to our guests.
Now. I suggest you stop reading my review. You ring Belinda and her team, and get yourself booked in with the most fantastic venue (and coordinating team) that is worth every penny spent. There is nothing I can fault.
They even have an arsenal of items to use. And recommendations of who to use. photo is from the end of the night and doesn't do it justice. Go visit!Buckinghamshire Railway Centre's reply:
Oh Josh, what a fantastic review! Both you and Jenny were such a joy to work with, so generous and individual in your approach, we absolutely loved having you and wish we could do it all over again. Have an amazing honeymoon, many thanks to you both with all our best wishes, Belinda -

Emily P. Sent on 20/10/2024Perfect and unique wedding venue
We had the most amazing wedding at the Railway Centre at the start of October. Growing up in Quainton I knew the Railway Centre was the perfect venue for our wedding. Belinda and the team were helpful and on hand to answer all our questions. Selecting all our own vendors allowed for us to make the day exactly how we wanted it. All our guests loved the venue. The pictures we have from the day show the character of the venue. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone thinking of getting married somewhere a little different. It truly was a perfect day!Buckinghamshire Railway Centre's reply:
Hi Emily, what a fabulous review, thank you so much, we are truly delighted that you enjoyed the day as much as we did. It's very special to us when our neighbours choose us for their wedding! You looked absolutely stunning. All the best to you both! Belinda -

Fantastic Experience
Buckinghamshire railway centre were fantastic from start to finish. We were able to use our own suppliers, including an inflatable obstacle course, bouncy castle, ceilidh band and hire of a steam train. We were also able to order a custom headboard from an external supplier to fit to the train for the day. The staff at the centre were fantastic and took time to talk to our guests about the history of the centre. A fully customisable experience, great communication with the coordinator (Belinda) at a unique venue that all our guests loved!Buckinghamshire Railway Centre's reply:
Hi Sky
Thank you so much for your great feedback, we loved being part of your beautiful day! I know that the train crew seriously enjoyed answering all your questions, and the ceilidh band was so much fun, all your guests were up and dancing... it's the first time we have had inflatables for a wedding, but I'm sure it won't be the last! All our best wishes for your future together, and come back and see us soon! Belinda and the team at BRC -

Rebecca P. Sent on 13/02/2024Unique, timeless and fun
We held our wedding and reception here on a beautiful spring day in April 2023. We wanted a unique and fun venue that could host both wedding and reception and my husband loves steam trains so it ticked a lot of boxes! The ability to hire your own vendors enabled us to have a truly special day that was tailored to our tastes, including a BBQ caterer, churros cart and a band. We also paid to have a steam train running after the ceremony which all of our guests loved. I recommend the bride and groom head straight to the train after the ceremony and have a few minutes to yourselves. By the time we made the return journey all our guests were on the platform waving us in ready for the confetti toss and was a highlight of our day. Their chairs, benches and tables are perfect for the ceremony and reception, so no need to hire in your own and so many props you can make use of, such as milk churns and bicycles and vintage suitcases for floral arrangements. You really don't need to go overboard with the decorations as it's just beautiful as is and it would detract from the character! There are so many great locations for photos too so make sure you have a walk round with your photographer and scope them out as it's a big site. Emma the events coordinator was so supportive and responsive and offered lots of advice and also did a wonderful job of helping us clear away at the end of the night. We had a wonderful day and I would definitely recommend the venue over and over again!Buckinghamshire Railway Centre's reply:
Dear Rebecca, we are delighted that you enjoyed your day, we certainly enjoyed having you! Thank you for your review, it is so useful to have such detailed feedback. Best wishes from Emma and the team x -

The most epic venue!!
From start to finish Emma and the team at Bucks Railway were fantastic. The communication was fantastic, they were so helpful from start to finish. We had the whole day the day before to set up with Emma on hand too. In terms of the day itself, it was just amazing. The venue made such a good conversation starter for guests, the children loved it, there was loads of room and the photos were incredible. I can not recommend it enough!!!Buckinghamshire Railway Centre's reply:
Thank you Sophie, we loved hosting your wedding! I'm sure we will see you and the family soon!
Best wishes Emma -

Megin Sent on 22/06/2023An incredible venue and a perfect wedding
My partner and I had our wedding at the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre last weekend - from visiting the venue's wedding fair in December 2021 to waving goodbye on the evening of the wedding, we had a wonderful experience.
Emma, the functions manager, is an asset to the Railway Centre - she has so much patience with all manner of questions, and always has the answer/will work something out if not. She was on-site the day before to help take deliveries/advise us on set-up, and was also around on the wedding day to make sure things were running smoothly. We had a few hiccups (none of which were the fault of the venue!), and Emma was there to help when needed. We really appreciated her, and the wider team at the Centre. They also helped clear up whilst we were on the dancefloor - making our job so much quicker before heading off home!
As for the venue itself, it truly speaks for itself - it's absolutely stunning. Our guests loved it, and the steam train we hired for after the ceremony was such a special experience. If you're looking for a unique venue where you can have a lot of control over exactly how your day looks, I would recommend the Centre without hesitation. I can't wait to drop back in and relive our perfect day.Buckinghamshire Railway Centre's reply:
Thank you Alex and Megin for your kind words. We were very happy to host such a lovely family and group of friends, we are glad you chose us for your special day!
Wishing you all the love and happiness for the future.
Emma, Belinda and all the Team at BRC xx -
