Review: Wasing Park

Winter Wonderland,

Earlier in the year we were invited to experience Wasing Park’s Winter Wonderland, to see what this gorgeous barn wedding venue, set in 18thcentury Berkshire parkland had to offer.

On the itinerary was a floral masterclass, afternoon tea by the fire and, of course, a tour of the venue and grounds to see just how a cosy winter wedding would go.

Weddings at Wasing Park

Wasing Park is a dedicated wedding venue, with options for a contemporary or traditional wedding. The parish church of St Nicholas is conveniently situated within the grounds of Wasing Park, just a short walk from The Garden Room and The Castle Barn – lovely reception rooms. It can seat up to 100 guests, and is just the prettiest little church, perfect for a ceremony or blessing.

Seats can be arranged for up to 140 guests and it is a simply beautiful space for a ceremony.

A busy afternoon

A floral masterclass gave us an opportunity to show off our creative flair, arranging stems and blooms under the close supervision of Linz from The White Horse Flower Company. Afternoon tea was a welcome moment to relax by the fire and enjoy some treats, and then dinner followed later, a gorgeous menu of fillet of beef, slow braised shin and buttered Savoy cabbage spring roll, creamed mash, confit shallot and baby carrot with a port wine reduction and sticky toffee pudding for dessert – perfect for a cold January evening.
