Thank you once again. Saturday was amazing, and we couldn’t have asked for anything else. Regarding feedback, we are still trying to think of something we would want to change. The presentation and general flow of the day were perfect. Also, thank you for the complimentary voucher you left for us. We appreciate that.

Mr & Mrs Lendon

Our incredible wedding day was hosted at DeVere Cotswold Water Park in April 2023. My husband and I cannot thank this stunning venue enough for how our wedding day was run. From the staff at check-in, Becky (our event coordinator), the casual staff who assisted on the day, and Chloe (our operations manager), every person we encountered had a smile on their face and were super helpful.

Our wedding day, from start to finish, was just perfect. We would not change anything, and we are so grateful to everyone involved in this.

We stayed for dinner the day after the wedding, and cannot fault the staff in the restaurant either! The food was also incredible.
Our suite was the perfect setting for me to get ready in the morning and wind down once the day was over. The views are breathtaking. If we could, we’d do our day all over again. And indeed, choose the same venue.

Mr & Mrs Minns

Thank you, and the rest of the team, for your support and help on our wedding day and all the planning meetings beforehand. It was lovely to have you there on the day and see everything come together from our initial meeting. You were on hand from beginning to end to answer questions, source information, and liaise with our vendors. We can’t thank you enough for helping our day run smoothly. The venue was stunning, and the beautiful weather we were blessed with made it even more magical. All the front-of-house staff who were on shift on Friday and Saturday were very professional and highly accommodating.

Georgia and Chloe, for all their support in the lead-up to and on the wedding day, for their outstanding effort and dedication to ensure our wedding ran smoothly. Also, a big thank you to Georgia for bringing us breakfast the morning after -it was appreciated and just what we needed.

Becky, thank you for being on this journey with us from start to finish. From our first meeting to the big day, you were on hand every step of the way, and you were always very open to our needs. Your personality and friendly nature always shone through. We are so grateful and appreciative of the time and effort you put into helping us plan and execute the day. You went above and beyond for us and our guests before and during the weekend, which exemplified your professionalism.

We both wish you great success and blessings in making people’s events perfect and unique, just as you did for us. We look forward to returning to De Vere for many years.

Mr & Mrs Shama

A huge thank you to you and the team for making our day so special; we are still buzzing here in Mexico! Everyone had a fantastic time. Thanks again for the unforgettable memories.

Mr & Mrs Wilby

Thank you so much for your email. Will and I had the best day, and everything was perfect! The room looked amazing and was everything I had hoped it would be. Thank you all again for the best day of our lives!

Mr & Mrs Buckingham

First of all, thank you so much for everything. We had an amazing day! Everything went perfectly! Thank you again for helping my unique vision come true!!

Mr & Mrs Croft

You planned everything so well for us; honestly, it was perfect, and I couldn’t fault a thing. The room and the way everything was set up was amazing. Chloe, wow, she was good and kicked us up the butt when we needed to be quicker and stick to the schedule. Everyone loved the food and how beautiful it all was. The bar was easy to get served in once we had two people, which was good. It is a beautiful venue to get married, and you did an excellent job helping us from day one. So, a massive thank you, as I know, I’ve asked SO many questions. But honestly, you smashed it!

Mr & Mrs Porter

Thank you to you and your team for your help with our wedding. We had an amazing day! Our guests also said how much they enjoyed themselves.

Mr & Mrs Harman

Please pass our massive thanks to all staff involved in our special day(s). The wedding on the 24th was perfect. I don’t like fuss, but I can honestly say I loved every moment of this day. You were brilliant, and the hotel staff were amazing and so accommodating.

It was faultless from the initial contact with you to menu tasting, service, and support during our stay. Our guests enjoyed their stay at the De Vere and will be visiting again.

Mr & Mrs Fieldwick

Saturday was beautiful, and it was lovely to celebrate our marriage with all our friends and family finally! Thank you for all your help in the build-up. And please pass on our feedback to the team who ran the day for us on Saturday! The room was set up beautifully, just as we wanted. The food was delicious and looked amazing. The staff were all friendly, approachable, and happy to do whatever we asked. All of these things made our day even that much more special! We are so glad we picked your venue, especially with those views over the lake when the sun shines; it’s hard to beat that! And we would recommend you to any friends or family planning to marry soon. Thanks again for everything!

Mr & Mrs Russell
FAQs
Where is the best spot for photos?

There are lots of hidden beautiful spots around the hotel for your photography. Of course, the lake makes a gorgeous backdrop. We recommend taking 10 minutes to walk to one of the lake edges for a few shots. Alternatively, the oak tree in front of the hotel makes for a lovely photo spot. The lawn outside The Brasserie is perfect for a group photo.

Do you allow confetti, and are there any décor restrictions?

Confetti is allowed; please make sure this is biodegradable. There are no strict restrictions; please just keep us in the loop!

What time can we party until?

Your bar will stay open until 1am. The main hotel bar has a 24-hour license and will remain open based on demand and staffing levels. This bar is for hotel residents only.

Do I have to use the venue-recommended suppliers?

No, however, we recommend our suppliers because they are some of the best at what they do and know us and the venue well. If you are looking for something particular, please ask, and we'll do our best to help!

How do I book accommodation?

Accommodation can be booked on our website a year before your wedding date. Guests can use a promotional code to secure 20% off the best available rate for each night of their stay. This code is only valid on bed and breakfast rates, and rooms are always subject to availability. The promotional code will be given to you once your wedding has been confirmed.
