This beautiful 15th Century chapel boasts original characteristics, such as stained-glass windows and a white timber-clad turret. The focal point of Wasing Park is the Castle Barn; with a contemporary and chic interior, it works exceptionally well for the wedding breakfast and evening party. The entrance is impressive, with a red brick castle-style tower and arched glass doorway. Blending traditional design features with modern mood lighting, the Castle Barn sets the scene for a wonderfully romantic day. The covered Castle Barn terrace is adorned with sheepskins, twinkling fairy lights, candles, and a fire pit, giving couples the perfect alfresco area, that can be used all year round.

A Magical Wedding Venue

Wasing Park was the only Venue that we viewed and we knew as soon as we visited that it was for us!

It really has it all from a Church on-site should you wish to opt for a Religious Ceremony, a stunning Barn and an abundance of beautiful Accommodation! Our criteria when we started planning our Wedding was a Church Wedding, a Rustic Barn and Accommodation on-site to house as many as our friends and family as possible, and we really couldn't believe that we found a venue in which we had to make absolutely no compromises.

It just so happened that we had Lucrecia alongside us for the whole journey from showing us around the Venue, to holding our initial Planning Meeting and then being assigned as our Event Manager. We feel so lucky to have had someone so knowledgeable and kind helping us along the way, in what can be an incredibly stressful time! There was no email that went unanswered by the whole of the Wasing Park Event Team, and always within a day or two which made the process so much easier for us. Every response was always worded so kindly & we were really made to feel like we mattered from day one.

Lucrecia knows Wasing Park inside out and that really showed when we handed over all of our items on the morning of the Wedding & didn't have to think about them again! We were blown away with just how beautiful Castle Barn looked and that was all thanks to the Team for preparing the Venue so well for us.

Our Wedding morning was completely stress free and that was all thanks to Lucrecia and the Wasing Park Team as well as our wonderful Suppliers, ensuring that everything that was taken care of for us!

The whole day ran so smoothly and both ourselves and our guests were treated so well and with such kindness! No one went without from the Drinks Reception, during our Meal Service & into the evening! We really were all made to feel so welcome and part of the Wasing Family!

So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the Venue is & how much they enjoyed our Wedding! The Venue speaks for itself & alongside the most beautiful Flowers & wonderful Lighting, there was so little that we needed to add to ensure that our day was everything that we had hoped it would be.

If you are looking for a Five Star venue, with Staff who will bend over backwards to help you as well as the most delicious Menu choices, then Wasing Park is the venue for you! We feel so lucky that we were able to spend our Wedding Day there & will forever cherish the memories that we have made.

The most amazing day!

My husband and I had the best day at Wasing Park.

It was everything we had dreamt of and more. From as soon as we were on site in the morning, right until breakfast the next morning, we felt taken care of and special.

We couldn’t keep count of the amount of praise and comments from our guests about the professionalism of the Wasing team, the unbelievable food and just how seamless the day was.

Special thanks to Lucrecia our wedding coordinator for the day. She made sure everything was sorted, she was so kind and answered all our questions!

We highly recommend this wedding venue!

Incredible venue, incredible people!

We got married at Wasing in August and had the absolute best day! Of course the venue is stunning, but the staff really make the venue perfect. Our event manager Emma, was an absolute dream, she seemed to just pop up anytime we needed her! She was just the perfect energy you want around on your wedding day and helped to make the day a breeze!
Even ours guests commented on how amazing the staff were!
The day was everything we dreamed of and more, we're so thankful to Wasing for giving us the perfect day.

A real-life fairytale

We had our wedding at Wasing Park in September 2024 and it was absolutely out of this world. In the lead up, the staff at Wasing were so helpful, informative and happy to answer any questions. You can tell they are experts at what they do, the lead up was so calm and the staff were so easy to deal with.

The day itself - words will never do it justice. The food was absolutely incredible, the staff were amazing and so organised and professional. They knew what I needed before I even asked! We had the most beautiful, magical day and we'll treasure it for the rest of our lives.

Our guests were in awe of how beautiful the venue was, from the bedrooms to the castle barn and the grounds, the gardens.. they just felt like they were in another world. It's such a beautiful place to get married and I would recommend it to everyone

The Perfect Wedding Day

Wasing park is a stunning venue, my husband and I fell in love with it the second we saw it. As a venue it ticks all of the boxes you could want, stunning location, excellent accommodation, amazing food, but most of all the staff are brilliant! Jenna, our wedding planner, was absolutely fabulous! She brought us a separate plate of canapes, she had the answers to all our questions before and on the day, and she made sure the day went ahead without a single hiccup! We cannot recommend Wasing Park enough, it really is the perfect venue!

The most perfect day

We loved Wasing from the minute we drove down the drive at their open day. It is such a beautiful venue and was perfect for us with the accommodation on site.
All of their help and support in the lead up was brilliant and it helped they are absolute experts at weddings! We were assigned Imogen in the lead up and for on the day, and she was fab always making sure we had what we needed as well as given us dedicated canapés on the day!
One of the reasons we chose Wasing was for the food and we got so many compliments from guests on the day that it was the best wedding food they’d ever had. We also really appreciated the pizza waiting for us at the end of the night! It goes by in a flash like everyone says but it was even more beautiful than we thought it was going to be.
Thank you so much Imogen and the team.

My perfect wedding day

From the start of my wedding day everything was perfect.
Firstly, the venue is absolutely stunning, it’s exclusive and beautiful. Jenna our wedding planner did an amazing job of setting up everything for our wedding, making it stress free for the groom Harry. When I arrived at the honeymoon suite everything was there waiting for me and made getting ready a lot easier.
Once married, we were constantly given food and drinks which was needed as we were so busy having our photos taken.
The food was out of this world, we had nearly every single guest comment on how amazing the food was and how full they were. Which is exactly what we were looking for in our wedding!
Jenna went above and beyond for our day and supported us massively while planning as during this time we were expecting a baby too so this was added pressure on top, but Jenna was very understanding and helpful. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to help on our day, even calming my nerves before I walked to the church, which may seem minor but to me that meant a lot.
If I could come back to wasing again I 100% would. I think everyone should get married here as it’s fantastic! Thank you Wasing, but thank you Jenna for making our wedding day the best day! X

The best day ever!

We would highly recommend anyone thinking about booking Wasing Park for their wedding to do it. The venue itself is stunning and all our guests commented on how lovely it was. But more importantly the whole experience from first viewing the venue to after the wedding was great. All the team were so helpful in the booking/planning process answering all our queries and making all our visions and plans for our day come to life. The day itself ran so smoothly thanks to Jenna and all the staff, again we had so many comments on how well the day ran with no issues or no awkward waiting around for all the guests. The food was so incredible, we wanted to make a few changes to some of the dishes for our day and it was no issue at all the chefs were so accommodating. The accommodation was also stunning, and the breakfast the next morning was just what everyone needed the morning after. We can't thank everyone at Wasing Park enough for helping make our day the best day ever!

Made it look effortless

Obviously the venue is gorgeous, obviously we loved that almost all our guests could stay after the wedding, obviously the bridal party being able to stay on site the night before was extremely convenient... Wasing is amazing straight off the bat.
What made our day perfect (aside from the weather) was the Wasing staff. From the cleaners, through the team serving breakfast the next morning, all the staff serving on the day all the way up to Emma our wedding co-ordinator were incredible. Everything ran seamlessly. Staff were there when you needed them and so amazing you didn't even notice them when you didn't. I cannot reccommend Wasing more highly. The chefs were incredible with our celiac dietary needs and everyone commented on how amazing the food was all day.
Emma would appear as if from nowhere to provide exactly what we needed when we needed it, she timed the day and our ceremony to perfection. It was because of her we were able to be completely present and just enjoy our amazing day.
Even packing up the next day was made easy - impressive when shattered, hungover and on a post wedding come down.
The team are perfect and it makes the amazing venue unbelievable.

Truly magical

Wasing made my day everything I dreamed of and more. The staff were so helpful and accommodating of elderly guests. Their flexibility astounded me. I felt supported at every point of the day and the build up. Imogen and the staff were amazing - made sure me and my husband both got canapés and drinks and cake and were never without a drink in the meal. 100% recommend.

Best Venue for the Best Day

All the team at Wasing Park made our wedding day one to remember. From first booking to the actual day, the process was so easy and as stress free as possible. There is always someone on hand to help answer any questions and there is never too many questions! The team on the day were fantastic, everything ran smoothly without any hiccups. The food was lovely, the pizza oven for evening food is also highly recommended. Would not hesitate to recommend the venue to anyone looking to book their wedding.

Not just a wedding venue, but an experience.

Wasing Park is not just a wedding venue, it is the ultimate wedding experience, and the most incredible place to hold your day. From the first time you contact the team and read the brochures, to the first time you go up that gorgeous drive, you are given the most professional and lovely experience. Every email was responded to, every question answered; nothing was too much for the team to handle. Our wedding coordinator was Noni and she did the most incredible job - she made sure that the day went off without the slightest hitch, made us feel like guests of honour, and made it so that we could enjoy the day without a care in the world. The team know how to make the most of the venue and how to make your vision come to life. We had the absolute best day when we got married here last week and we could not be happier that we picked Wasing Park.

My DREAM wedding! The best day ever

Wasing Park made the most PERFECT wedding venue! From the moment I came to visit the venue back in 2022, I instantly fell in love. With every detail thought out and the gardens beautifully maintained, this truly is the most incredible venue!

Not to mention this venue is such good value in comparison to other wedding venues! I was quoted by loads of venues where they had excluded VAT and had a load of hidden costs, Wasing were upfront with what everything cost from the get go and came in miles below some of the other venues I had looked at!

As well as the venue we wanted to give a special shoutout to our designated month of wedding planner, Emma. Emma went above and beyond for us and helped our day run so smoothly, she handled everything so calmly and made me feel completely at ease.

Our wedding truly was the best day of our lives and Wasing is a place us and our guests will never forget, truly couldn’t recommend more 🤍
