A gorgeous wedding venue, which is also great for guests travelling from afar as it’s only a stone’s throw from the M1 and Luton airport (so no need to worry about travel)! With three stunning wedding suites to choose from on your big day, the world is your oyster when it comes to planning everything. We love this venue!

81. Stanlake Park & Vineyard
Located within the grounds of Berkshire’s largest wine estate, it’s easy to see why Stanlake Park is considered one of the finest wedding venues in the region. The grade-II listed Coach House is without a doubt the most popular option for an indoor wedding ceremony (for good reason), as it overlooks the Courtyard, which is the perfect spot for a drinks reception, or wander through the gardens to the rustic Vineyard Barn for a wedding breakfast – how amazing does that sound!
82. Bearwood Lakes Golf Club
This stunning wedding venue based within a picturesque golf club is the venue of dreams! Located in the heart of Berkshire, surrounded by acres of gorgeous greens, this is truly a unique way to spend your special day with your nearest and dearest. Definitely give this one a look!
