  Just perfect ❤️

  We had the most incredible wedding day on 28.03.24. Despite storm Nelson, the event coordinator Mel was extremely helpful and attentive. The food was amazing. Just the perfect venue for us and were so pleased we chose to have it there ❤️

  Stunning venue!

  I have visited Stanlake Park on numerous occasions to help my brides with their bridal makeup preparations. I'm always welcomed by the most friendly staff who cannot do enough for the bride on the morning of the wedding! The venue is stunning, the bridal space is perfect (The Bow Loft), a great space for all things makeup and hair with an upstairs space to get excited with the girls and get into dresses. I love Stanlake Park, is a perfect wedding venue, 100% recommend! (I can also confirm, the wine is incredible!!) x (From, Stephanie Warren Makeup Artist)

  An excellent venue for photos

  I've photographed weddings at Stanlake Park and I've always found the variety of the grounds and the different spaces serve as excellent backdrops for the photos I take.
  
  That and the smooth running of timings without stress and the wedding guests can relax in the colourful surroundings really adds to the day and shines really well on the couple.
  
  It's an amazing place for a wedding at all times of the year!

  Quit a difficult venue in the run up

  We were sold on the venue after visiting the vineyard for a tasting (note: the wedding venue is an entirely different company from the winery). I will run out of characters to list every issue we had, but be cautious if you think this is the venue for you. I will always look back fondly on the day but I lost count of how many times I regretted choosing this venue as I felt they added a lot of stress and were difficult to deal with. We left it a few months to write this review to reflect but also in the genuine hope that the venue would contact us for feedback (I burst into tears at our final planning meeting) but we got nothing from them, so here we are. Our headline issues:
  
  • Food tasting was disappointing. You will taste the cheaper options so it will likely be not much use at all if you want the higher end options/ the steak platters that we wanted. I was left underwhelmed (and food was a bit cold). I should stress our food was excellent on the day, but the venue asked that when we said we weren’t happy that we pay (£75) to re-do our tasting when we fed back we were underwhelmed and we got quite an unhelpful and rude email from the director rather than any genuine customer service. If you go for Stanlake, be prepared that the head chef advertised works out of the other venue and is rarely (never) at Stanlake.
  • We dealt with at least three different people in the run up to our wedding and felt passed around. Our final planner was good (Julia), but we met her very late in the process for our final planning meeting. You will be unlikely to have a dedicated person which added a bit of stress for us. The lady who ran our day was a contractor (Nicole) and excellent but we wouldn’t have met her but we insisted on a call beforehand. We generally felt like we were passed around the houses a lot.
  • We found out on our final meeting we had to hire in the long tables (that are suitable for use without a table cloth). This was a surprise as we were told the tables were included and these hired tables are all over their marketing materials and website without disclaimer that these are extra. These cost circa £600.The venue only gave us £200 towards the cost of these in drinks credit.
  • Any additional touches we wanted to bring were met with resistance at every turn.
  • Whilst not the venue (and instead the vineyard who your venue hire contract is with), watch out for the clause that states something along the lines of “we can cancel your date and we may offer you an alternative date and we do not have to give you a refund”. We got this changed – we were paying a premium for a Saturday in May and in the event something caused them to cancel, we wanted the money back from them.

  Beautiful weddings!

  Stanlake Park Wine Estate is a beautiful venue for weddings in Berkshire. We recently got married at Stanlake Park in July 2023 and we LOVED every second of our wedding day!
  
  The Heritage Venues operations and events team were so professional and helpful in planning our special day. On the day of our wedding, the event manager and team managed everything and ensured the day ran smoothly and to plan. The food was amazing and we loved celebrating with a selection of the Stanlake Park wines!!
  
  Special call outs to Jo and Annabel for making our day amazing – we really appreciate everything you did to make our day memorable!

  Beautiful venue for a perfect day

  Absolutely stunning venue, fantastic wine, delicious food and great service. Friends and family raves about the venue and the day as a whole. And the venue were very accommodating when we had to add our ceremony.

  Stunning venue, incredible food, wonderful service.

  He wanted a venue with history, she wanted a venue full of natural light, they both love wine and therefore Stanlake Park was chosen. This venue provides a stunning backdrop, from the beautiful bridal getting ready area, to the brickwork in the ceremony barn to the incredible vineyards themselves so all we had to do as a couple was think about what decorations we wanted to add to provide a personal touch.
