Facilities and Capacity: Inside The Retreat, you can choose from 6 beautiful spaces to hold your Civil Ceremony. With our largest room accommodating up to 80 Guests for your Ceremony and our smallest accommodating up to 6 guests, there are lots of options for you both to think about! During the warmer months, we offer outdoor Ceremonies - what could be more beautiful than exchanging vows with views of the Wessex Downs as your backdrop! We also offer Exclusive Hire of The Retreat. Once you've tied the knot, you and your guests will enjoy a delicious Wedding Breakfast and Toast as the new couple. A fun Evening Reception will then unfold whilst you mingle, sip wine and dance while the sun sets over the Wessex Downs.

Perfect setting and wonderful servicePerfect setting and wonderful service
We had an intimate wedding at The Retreat Hotel and couldn’t be more pleased. Their small- wedding package offered great value, and the venue itself is beautiful, so thoughtfully decorated that we hardly needed to add anything else, which helped keep costs down. Ella, who supported us through the planning, was fantastic. Her attention to detail and responsiveness made the whole experience smooth, and she was incredibly helpful on the day itself. The food was excellent.We had an intimate wedding at The Retreat Hotel and couldn’t be more pleased.

Nothing short of perfect! Nothing short of perfect!
The interiors are exactly our vibe, fun, stylish, classic yet cool. One of the biggest selling points for us was that you don’t have to hire out the entire hotel. You can achieve an incredibly high-end wedding without the huge price tag. A huge part of why the day felt so seamless was down to Ella, our wedding manager. She was brilliant from start to finish. I honestly feel like we’re friends now. It was the perfect venue, delivered by the perfect team. Book your wedding there NOW! :-)The interiors are exactly our vibe, fun, stylish, classic yet cool.

Perfect wedding venue!Perfect wedding venue!
We were so happy with our whole experience with The Retreat. Ella was amazing, and always on hand to answer any queries - nothing was too much trouble! We had a small wedding in the Orangery (28 guests), the food was faultless and our stay at the hotel was equally lovely. The venue was perfect, even though it was a rainy day, it didn't matter because the hotel is so beautiful. Also, found it great value for what you got. Highly recommend!We were so happy with our whole experience with The Retreat. Ella was amazing, and always on hand to answer any queries - nothing was too much trouble!

The best day!The best day!
We got married at Elcot Park earlier this month and couldn't have had a better experience. Throughout the planning Ella was so accommodating and always responsive to the many questions we had. The day went perfectly thanks to all of the hard work of the team - we felt so looked after and were able to just enjoy the day. All of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was, and of course how good the food was! Honestly so happy we picked Elcot Park as our venue!We got married at Elcot Park earlier this month and couldn't have had a better experience.

Beautiful hotel and wedding venueBeautiful hotel and wedding venue
Very professional helpful service from Samantha and Ella. Very clear and helpful in the lead up, useful check ins and very helpful on the day. Food was incredible, all the guests were extremely well fed. Venue staff went above and beyond the whole weekend we were staying there to make sure we were well looked after. It rained all day we were so grateful there was reserved spaces indoors in case of bad weather and the staff made sure these were quickly sorted out as it started raining.Very professional helpful service from Samantha and Ella.

A dreamy wedding at The RetreatA dreamy wedding at The Retreat
Our wedding at The Retreat was absolutely perfect. The planning process was seamless. The wedding breakfast was not only speedy and delicious, but the team also catered perfectly to the extras we had requested for particular guests. Later in the evening, the bar staff were fantastic, no glass was ever empty! I would love to relive the whole day all over again. I would wholeheartedly recommend The Retreat to anyone looking for a relaxing, special, and truly beautiful wedding experience.Our wedding at The Retreat was absolutely perfect.

We had the best wedding day ever at The Retreat at Elcot Park. The service, the atmosphere and the team were exceptional. It is alone a beautiful venue, but the staff makes it even more special. Cannot recommend enough! Our photographer who also works at the hotel and knows it very well, managed to capture all our special moments at the right places of the venue. Thank you to Laura (photographer), Ella (event manager) and all the team that made our wedding day the best day of our lives. We had the best wedding day ever at The Retreat at Elcot Park.

We had so many compliments about the venue. Ella is a superstar! I'm a type A bride and Ella really calmed me down. Before the wedding she went into so much detail so I knew exactly what was happening and when. On the wedding day, Ella was so helpful and decorated the room exactly as I imagined. We really had the best day! The food was unreal! 1000% recommend this venue for wedding, it's a really bright and happy hotel. The cost is very reasonable. 10/10 venue!We had so many compliments about the venue. Ella is a superstar! I'm a type A bride and Ella really calmed me down.

Unbelievable, stress free, epic day!Unbelievable, stress free, epic day!
BEST day ever! The Retreat is an amazing venue. Sam and Ella (wedding coordinators) were fantastic. I had zero stress; they were easy to communicate with, transparent with costs and did everything they could to make the wedding run smoothly. On the actual day Ella dealt with the decorations and suppliers leaving me to swan about getting ready! Big shout out to the chefs as the food was divine. All the staff made me feel super special and could not have done more for us. Cant wait to return!!!!! BEST day ever! The Retreat is an amazing venue.
