Beautiful Venue and amazing staff

The Venue's aesthetic speaks for itself this beautiful histroci building has been expanded to inkeep with the original lyout of the venue. We got married in October and the late summer allowed us to have the wedding outside infront of the rive which flows through the grounds. That also meant we could have drinks reception from the Morris Minor, a small touch which went down so well with our guests. The staff coudn't do more for us on the day and everytime we needed something they were already on it. We had some very tricky dietary requirements and the people who needed these menues have said they have never felt so included and been able to enjoy such a...

The staff coudn't do more for us on the day and everytime we needed something they were already on it. We had some very tricky dietary requirements and the people who needed these menues have said they have never felt so included and been able to enjoy such a lovely full amount of food at a venue for a wedding before which was lovely to hear. Special shoutout to Julieanne who was our wedding co-ordinator, she was just amazing from start to finish. The only down side is the cost of the rooms. They are quite expensive and over £100 more than the sister hotel closer to the centre of Oxford. The wedding rate helped but it did price out a lot of our guests from staying.

Best day ever :)

I just got married at Voco Oxford Thames, and it was about as perfect as I could have hoped for. It was a gorgeous venue - the old buildings combined with newer bits, and the grounds down to the river, with a gazebo to get married under. The rooms we stayed in the night before, and the night of, the wedding, was large, clean, and comfy. All the amemnities were excellent. The service on the day was impeccable - everyone got the right food, there was plenty of staff and they were very prompt with the food, and attentive. They were very accomodating with two of our guests who had quite specific dietary requirements, which meant a lot to...

They were very accomodating with two of our guests who had quite specific dietary requirements, which meant a lot to us as it allowed them to join us for the day. The food itself was also delicious! Also the organisation around the day was excellent - Julieanne and Casandra, the wedding coordinators, and Andy, the Toastmaster, were a massive help in organising and directing the event itself.

Overall I, and my wife, are really thankful to everyone at Voco who helped make our wedding day so great, they did a phenomenal job ,and I would wholeheartedly recommend them as a wedding venue to others.

We would highly recommend you and thank you once again for making our day so special.

Dear Julieanne and Voco team,

Both Peter and I would like to say a massive thank you for participating in our wedding on Saturday.

We could not have been happier with the service provided, professional standard and contribution to our perfect day. So many of our guests gave us very positive feedback and were amazed by the occasion in which you played a major part.

We would highly recommend you and thank you once again for making our day so special.
Not forgetting the toastmasters Andy who was remarkable.

Best wishes,

Kelly & Peter

A wonderful wonderful day!

Julieanne and her team worked really hard to take all the pressure and stress off us on the day. We felt extremely comfortable in their hands and the day ran smoothly under their guidance. Planning a wedding is not a small job, but having everything at this wonderful venue with this team made it as close to stress-free as possible. A huge thanks to you all for a wonderful and memorable day!

Stunning venue, incredible staff, great food!

We just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone at the Voco Oxford Thames who helped make our wedding day so perfect - in particular Julieanne (wedding co-ordinator), Andy (toastmaster) and the catering team.

When we were choosing our reception venue we didn't pay much attention to hotels - however, the Voco Thames blew us away with it's gorgeous setting, feeling of relative exclusivity (it isn't, but with no other events in the hotel and various private interconnecting spaces including a bar, we never noticed any other hotel guests), large spaces and value for money.

Julieanne was incredible from start to finish. She was always easy to contact and arrange meetings with as needed, recommended...

Julieanne was incredible from start to finish. She was always easy to contact and arrange meetings with as needed, recommended suppliers to suit our budget, and accommodated various requests and amendments to the packages to make our wedding bespoke to us. Together with Andy who was superb on the day, we had every confidence that our wedding day would run smoothly, meaning we could enjoy the time with each other and our guests. Finally, the chefs and catering staff outdid themselves with the delicious and promptly/professionally served food. We had so many comments about how amazing the food was, with it firmly placing as many peoples 'best wedding food', and many guests in awe of how they managed to serve high quality (and piping hot!) food to 100 people so quickly.

Overall, an incredible venue with wonderful staff, and we couldn't recommend them more highly.

Spring Wedding

The hotel went above and beyond! The staff are amazing, and the day ran like clock work. I have to mention the toastmaster Andy who did a fabulous job and you can tell he truly cares about the bride and groom having the best day possible. Our wedding coordinator Julieanne did an amazing job with coordinating the day. We loved every minute! And all our guests enjoyed themselves and all commented how beautiful the venue is!

Amazing! Beautiful for indoor and outdoor weddings

We had our wedding at Voco Oxford Thames this year and it was genuinely the best day of our lives. We are forever grateful to the Voco team.

We were originally supposed to be a 2021 wedding, however made the tough choice to postpone given the pandemic. The staff were so honest and realistic about the reality of postponing and when we did postpone the process was very easy and hassle-free. We were lucky that they had the exact same weekend available the following year and appreciated that they honoured your 2021 prices for us.

Their organisation was impeccable and Julieanne is truly amazing at her job. Everything felt so organised and professional and the...

Their organisation was impeccable and Julieanne is truly amazing at her job. Everything felt so organised and professional and the whole day (even the meal service with all of the dietary requirements!) ran so smoothly. We were so reassured at every meeting that we were in great hands and felt so confident with our venue choice.

The food was incredible. We were blown away on our menu tasting and it was so impressive that they can produce such high quality and beautifully presented food to such a mass number. So many people complimented the food, we had guests wanting the recipe for the sauce with the chicken and others mentioned it was the best wedding food they had ever had!

All of the staff were so friendly too. Everyone from reception, the bar staff and the waiters/waitresses already had a smile on their face and nothing was too much trouble.

Even though it did rain, Voco’s interior was so stunning that it didn’t matter. So many of our guests commented on how lovely the hotel was and what an excellent venue it was for a wedding.

We couldn’t recommend Voco Oxford Thames more and am sure you they will make many other couples very happy.

A HUGE thank you!

I just want to say A HUGE thank you for all your help and hard work making our wedding perfect. The day ran so smoothly and we enjoyed every moment of it! You were so accommodating, and we really appreciated your attention to detail. I knew I could relax on the day knowing you were in charge. The whole team at Oxford Thames were so helpful and very professional. We have had so many compliments about the venue and have been told by many of our guests it was the best wedding they have ever been to.
