Wedding fairs and open days 2024

Attending wedding open days and wedding fairs is a brilliant idea for couples planning their big day. These events offer a unique opportunity to explore a variety of wedding services and venues all in one place, making the planning process much more efficient and enjoyable.

Wedding open days allow couples to experience potential venues firsthand. Walking through the space, seeing it decorated for an event, and meeting the staff provides a real sense of what the wedding day might look like. It’s a chance to ask specific questions, envision the setup, and understand the logistics, helping couples make an informed decision about their venue.

January Showcase

Wedding Showcase - Wasing Park

Wasing Park invites you to their January Showcase, running on selected dates from 5th to 26th January 2025. The award-winning barn wedding venue will be transformed for this year’s theme: Forever.

Wasing is proud to shine a spotlight on sustainability, with expert suppliers showcasing their eco-conscious services and products. From florals to sustainably sourced wedding décor, discover how to create a beautiful, timeless celebration that’s also kind to the planet. Talented florists will be displaying stunning arrangements made from locally grown seasonal flowers plus flora and foliage foraged from Wasing’s gardens and woodlands, offering inspiration on how to incorporate conscious choices into your own wedding day. The venue will be adorned with their exquisite designs, combining natural elegance with a commitment to the environment.

Three Stunning Ceremony Spaces

- The Parish Church of St. Nicholas – For a traditional ceremony and dating back to the 13th Century, the Church is set within the grounds of the wedding venue and full of charm with its sun-drenched altar through stained-glass windows.

-  The Victorian Summerhouse – say 'I do' in the heart of nature, with an idyllic backdrop of an intricate hand-painted mural of blossom trees and surrounded by flora and fauna, making for breathtaking ceremonies.

- The Garden Room – exchange your vows within the tranquil gardens of Wasing Park, bringing the outdoors in with its walls of bi-folding glass doors, the perfect light and bright space to hold your civil ceremony.?

The Castle Barn & Party

Sat in the heart of the Grade II listed Wasing Park, is the stunning Castle Barn. Full of character and offering a blank canvas of soft red brick walls, with arrow slits and oak beams, allowing personalisation of the celebration space to make it uniquely yours. With a large stage and the most phenomenal acoustics, your party of a lifetime will be remembered forever.

Wasing’s talented chefs will create a spectacular culinary experience for your wedding breakfast using the best of local ingredients, with even the option of organic, grass-fed beef from Wasing’s farm, as part of the Nose to Tail Menu. The floating stretch tent over the terrace ensures evening al fresco dining all year round, with food cooked in the outdoor kitchen over an open fire or in the wood-fired oven, creating live theatre for guests to enjoy.

Bespoke Accommodation

Wasing Park offers 26 luxurious bedrooms, designed to combine home comforts with opulence. A selection of these rooms will be available for you to explore, including the Granary sat on its staddle stones, the enchanting Dovecote, the stunning Smithy with its original fireplace where the blacksmith once forged his works, and the Honeymoon Suite, with the biggest bed in Berkshire.

Meet the Team & Be Inspired

After a tour of the venue, enjoy a toast glass of local, finest sparkling English wine or a signature Wasing Gin cocktail, along with a selection of delicious canapes, in the Stables Lodge bar where you can connect with the team and start planning your happily ever after.

From 5 Jan until 11 Jan
