Danielle L. Sent on 04/01/2023My perfect wedding day!
I am so happy I choose Cantley house hotel, my day was perfect from start to finish. All my visions came to life and Cantley were so accommodating and couldn’t do enough for me. Lara and Diane were amazing on the day, I was very lucky to have them!! Nothing was too much trouble. I had an outdoor ceremony which was amazing. Any request I had, it never seemed a problem. When planning your big day, you can’t go wrong using this venue. I would recommend Cantley to anyone and all my guests would say the same. -

My wife and I chose Cantley House Hotel as our wedding venue and we had an absolutely incredible time. From where we started over 2 years ago to the wedding reception, Emma and her team have been flawless in executing a perfect day and we couldn't have done this without them. Everyone complimented the food and the DJ had people dancing all night. We highly recommend Cantley if you're looking for a day you'll never forget. -

The most magical day
We had our wedding at Cantley House on Sunday 20th October and it was absolutely magical. The staff go above and beyond, nothing is too much. The whole day for us was absolutely faultless. Our wedding coordinator Sarah had injured herself in the morning but went above and beyond to ensure I didn’t actually find out until I met my registrars . From the beginning Sarah answered all questions and her attention to detail was second to none. The hotel is stunning and all my guests commented on our delicious hot and fresh food. We had Matt for the evening and he ensured we were well taken care of. The venue was warm and inviting. Bar service was quick . Not a single complaint from us or our guests . The decor is gorgeous, the grounds are lush and well kept. I honestly could not fault the service at the Cantley house and I highly recommend them. -

Emma K. Sent on 18/10/2024Perfect Venue for our Wedding
We had the most wonderful wedding day at Cantley! We were so lucky with the weather, I think we had the last best day of summer , we had been planning to get married outside and so delighted that we were able to. The events staff (especially Sarah) were all brilliant, nothing was too much trouble and the planning meetings leading up the Wedding were so helpful to refine plans.
We chose to get married on a weekday rather than on a weekend as it suited our family life and timed perfectly in the summer holidays. The venue had lots of different options & packages to choose from and we did end up adding things on as we got closer to the date (for example we had booked for a 2 course wedding breakfast but after the taster evening we fell in love with the sticky toffee pudding so we HAD to add that on :)
The taster evening for menu choices was super helpful and even on that occasion the staff in the restaurant were brilliant and informative.
There are some regular suppliers that Cantley recommend and we went with most of them (DJ, faux florist, Table decor and photobooth) and it really helped that they were familiar with Cantley and knew where best to set things up etc
A lot of our guests stayed over with us so it was really lovely to have breakfast altogether in the morning
It was a perfect choice for us! -

We recently had the pleasure of celebrating our wedding at Cantley House in Wokingham, and we cannot express enough how perfect the day was from start to finish. Everything went incredibly smoothly, and the team was very accommodating with every request we had. From the very first contact through to food tastings and final preparations, every step of the way was expertly handled; we felt we were in very safe hands throughout.
One of the highlights for us was being able to book out all of the rooms for a complete venue hire, which really made it feel like we could take over the venue and make it our own for the day.
The food in particular was delicious, and our guests were singing the praises of the venue not only on the day but also ever since then. Many told us it was one of the nicest and most fun weddings they had ever been to, and we owe a huge part of that to the wonderful team at Cantley House.
A special thank you goes to Emma, our wedding coordinator, who was a huge help in the lead-up to the day. She ensured that everything was meticulously organised, right down to the full function sheet, which covered every detail (including aspects we hadn’t even thought of!). Thanks to Emma’s careful attention and guidance, we felt fully supported every step of the way.
If you’re looking for a wedding venue that will go above and beyond to make your day exceptional, we highly recommend Cantley House Hotel. Thank you again for making our wedding day so unforgettable! -

Amazing Wedding Day
We had an amazing wedding day at Cantley House in July. Everything on the day and beforehand went perfectly to plan, and we wouldn't have had anything any other way. Cantley house was the perfect venue for a wedding of 50, feeling both intimate, but large enough for this amount of guests. The food on the day including the canapes, wedding breakfast and pizza in the evening was delicious. All the staff were professional and really added to the day.
The only minor comments we had were that there were a few add ons that should maybe come as standard, even if that increased the price slightly. For example the fairy lights in the barn really add to decoration, but have to be hired from the DJ, why not have this included? Another example would be that red seats come as standard for the ceremony, with white ones needing to be hired at an extra cost.

Brittany L. Sent on 17/09/2024The best value for money in Berkshire!
We got married here in August 2024 and honestly could not have asked for a more perfect venue. From start to finish the staff here are helpful, accommodating and thoroughly organised.
We used the Friday exclusive package which was well worth the money - having all our family and friends staying at the hotel made for the perfect 'morning-after' breakfast!
Sarah and Diane looked after us before the wedding and on the day and were both excellent, any emails and questions we had were answered promptly and the wedding day itself could not have been run more smoothly.
The food and drink are all great quality and the range of dietary requirements of our guests were catered for appropriately. I'd especially recommend the pizza oven upgrade for evening food, it was delicious and a real hit with our guests!
There are so many beautiful spaces at Cantley, from the garden out the back where we had our ceremony, to the barn we had our reception in, to the surrounding fields we went to for photos. For the price we paid this was definitely the best option we found in the area, and was well worth the money for the care and quality we received. -
