Our wedding

We have only the best things to say about our experience with Winchester Cathedral Venues. From our very first enquiry, the team could not have been more helpful, making time at short notice to show us round, and being patient with us as it took time to finalise the date. Jack was both laid back and super-organised - we felt in safe hands throughout and had a wonderful day. The food was also sensational.

The best wedding venue

We couldn’t fault Jack and his team on our wedding day. From our first enquiry to our dream day, everything was perfect. Nothing was too much for Jack and he made us feel at ease throughout the months leading up to it. We had no wedding stress, we thought it was too good to be true! Our wedding day then came and we were blown away. It was everything we dreamed of. Jack was there on the day to make sure everything went as planned and our guest were full of compliments on how attentive he and the rest of the staff were. The food was incredible too. We couldn’t fault anything. We booked the Wessex for the day which is a stunning building with peaceful surroundings right near the cathedral and the refectory in the evening which its perfect if you are looking for a venue after a relaxed ceremony at the registry office. The Wessex can also be used for an evening venue until 11pm with a bar which is perfect. We are already thinking about what other event we could host here! Thank you again Jack!

Our dreams & expectations were exceeded!

Jack and the team at the Cathedral Refectory were incredible and our day just wouldn’t have been as good if we’d gone anywhere else. Jack’s attentive, caring, communicative, listens and reassures at every step of the way. His team are hardworking, kind and full of smiles, which really added to our day 😊 The venue is just WOW - every single guest commented on how stunning the backdrop of the day was; it’s the hidden gem of winchester! Have your wedding at Winchester Cathedral Venues and work with Jack, you really won’t regret it; in fact, they will exceed your expectations and make your dreams come true. The only downside is we won’t get to work with Jack and the stunning venue again (unless we can find a reason to have another huge party!)

May Wedding at Winchester Cathedral

We knew that Winchester Cathedral was the venue for us as soon as we walked in, from that moment we started planning our wedding and the team was fabulous. The venue and setting were amazing, despite a windy day we were able to get some amazing photos in and around the Cathedral Grounds, the private Dean Garnier Garden is a great spot for photos! We chose a 3-course wedding breakfast which was fantastic throughout and everyone loved the food! We had a wonderful day and so did all of our guests. Thank you for helping make our day so special
