If you haven’t taken a stroll through our Events Diary, then you absolutely must!

There’s lots to discover on Coco Wedding Venues and the events listings are just one small part you need to get exploring! From wedding open days, national events through to vintage fairs and industry gatherings there’s a whole heap of goodness happening…

But today, I wanted to shine a light on the very beautiful and utterly divine Waddesdon and their Wedding Inspiration Day, taking place on Sunday 11th October.

Nestling in a tranquil waterside setting amidst glorious gardens, the Waddesdon Estate is approximately 10 miles from the town of Bicester and an hour’s drive from London, created for Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild in the 19th Century and for over 100 years the country retreat of the Rothschild family.

The Dairy at Waddesdon is a completely exclusive, private venue secluded and surrounded by gardens, offering a beautiful ceremony setting, an option of two stunning rooms to dine in, and a licence for evening receptions.

So if that all sounds rather dreamy, then I have no doubt that this luxury event is perfect for you…
