Setting
Wasing Park is a spectacular barn wedding venue set in picturesque Berkshire countryside. This elegant estate offers a collection of historical buildings, including a Victorian Summerhouse and the Castle Barn. Wasing Park is at the centre of the 4,000-acre Wasing Estate, which was established in 1759 and has been under the stewardship of the same family since then. This venue exudes pure style as a modern complex of beautiful barns set within stunning parkland.
Ceremony
The modern Garden Room is stunning for your civil ceremony at Wasing Park. With windows that flood the space with natural daylight, white walls, wooden floors, and distinctive glass ceiling lights, this is the perfect space for brides and grooms to exchange their vows. If you wish to tie the knot in an outdoor setting, the Victorian Summerhouse within the Terrace Garden is licensed for outdoor ceremonies. Its lush surroundings and beautifully painted murals on the summerhouse’s interior make it the perfect outdoor location. If a traditional church ceremony is what you’ve always dreamed of, the parish Church of St. Nicholas stands within the estate grounds. This beautiful 15th-century chapel boasts original characteristics, such as stained-glass windows and a white timber-clad turret.
Reception
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.
