Your Berks, Bucks and Oxon Wedding - April/May 2024 (Issue 106)

Venues in West Berkshire and Newbury WASING PARK WEDDINGS, ALDERMASTON This award-winning, exclusive-use barn wedding venue enjoys a quintessential English setting in the lovingly restored traditional farm hamlet of Wasing. Romantic farm buildings sit alongside the 15th-century Parish Church of St Nicholas including the majestic Grade II listed Castle Barn, a Granary sat proudly on its staddle stones, and the Dovecote, a fairytale-inspired room. There’s also a Honeymoon Suite boasting the largest bed in Berkshire and up to 64 guests can stay in the 26 bedrooms with availability for a wild swim and sauna in the secluded lake. Ceremonies take place in the contemporary Garden Room with its wall of glass bi-fold doors leading to the manicured garden, or outside in the Victorian Summerhouse that’s embellished with a pretty hand-painted mural. The on-site Parish Church of St Nicholas offers another option. The magnificent Castle Barn is the ultimate space for wedding receptions. Celebrate in style with fine dining or enjoy a more relaxed, rustic-inspired celebration with options from the farmhouse menu. Guests can enjoy dinner and drinks beneath the floating stretch tent over the terrace at the back of Castle Barn ensuring an al fresco vibe all year round. The outdoor kitchen allows diners to watch the chefs cook over the firepit and in the wood-fired oven. There’s also comfortable seating, cosy blankets and festoon lighting. Inside, there’s a stage that can host a band or a DJ and couples are offered their own wedding events manager. To find out more and to book, visit www.wasing.co.uk/weddings Spotlight on...
