Whether you choose to wed in the summer outside in their Gazebo whilst the vines are still green and luscious, or an autumnal wedding when the vines are fiery red and burnt orange, it'll be perfect for you. When it comes to your wedding breakfast you can create a bespoke menu with their talented caterers, Exquisite Catering. There is really nothing Wickham Estate can't give you on your special day.

About

There is a sweet story behind Wickham Estate that you will be sure to discover over the course of your wedding planning. But for know here's a little bit of information! Wickham Estate began as a working Vineyard, with 40 acres of land that produced red, white, rosé and sparkling wines. Perhaps you may have tried one before. In 2014 it was bought by Three Choirs, one of the oldest and largest vineyards, and was adapted into a an exclusive wedding venue.

Facilities

The Vine Room

The ceremony is the most important part of the day, it is why you are Wickham Estate after all. Fully licensed for civil ceremonies, The Vine Room is a beautiful indoor ceremony room made just for you to say your vows. The room is blessed with natural light, gifted by the large floor to ceiling windows. Beyond the light is breath-taking views of the vines outside.

The Gazebo

If you've always dreamt of an outdoor ceremony then Wickham Estate's Gazebo might be the spot for you. With a rustic setting amongst the vines, your guests will be seated on wooden benches, absorbing the natural beauty of your wedding day. The vines are at their best in May and begin to become green and in full bloom between June and September. By October they turn a beautiful red. Maybe nature could give you an idea for the colour pallet or time of year for your wedding!

    Where to begin with why I'd recommend them?! From the very first enquiry, all contacts were swift, clear, friendly yet professional. They worked around difficult time schedules as my husband isn't from the UK so we had limited availability to visit together etc. When covid hit and our wedding was cancelled twice, they supported us wonderfully, keeping in touch, keeping our spirits up whilst also keeping us very up to date with what rules etc meant.
    Due to visa restrictions, we had to get married in a certain time frame, and they made this happen for us, which I can never thank them enough for. The venue itself is gorgeous. It's beautiful without being ostentatious, elegant but comfortable. We had time to come in and decorate and were guided through the day itself by Grace who is just awesome! If I could do it all over again, I would pick that venue every time.

    Thank you so much to Wickham Estate for our dream wedding on 23rd July ! We originally wanted to get married in Italy in a vineyard setting and never realised we had this beautiful venue only 10 minutes away from our house !
    The staff were fantastic and accommodating with all of our worries around Covid. They did everything they could to make our wedding day special. The venue is just absolutely stunning.

  • Emma 2021

    We had the most amazing experience at Wickham Estate for our wedding day! From the venue itself which is absolutely stunning, to the efficiency of the staff, to the gorgeous accommodation onsite. We've had so many positive comments from our guests about how beautiful the venue was as we were lucky enough to avoid the rain to have our ceremony outside.
    I would recommend using the house onsite for the bridal prep room especially, but also to stay for the night. Although it's a little bit extra to pay, it's so worth it. We even managed to walk around the vineyard the following morning before we checked out. Overall the day was incredible and ran so so smoothly. Thank you Wickham Estate.

  • Hayley 2021

    Our experience at three choirs was incredible. Sam and Grace were so friendly and reassuring in the stressful times in planning, and on the day keeping things flowing and in line. We highly recommend the gorgeous venue and the wine itself for the day. It was the perfect combination with the food from Exquisite Catering team provided by Wickham Estate. The accommodation on site and the bridal suite was well equipped with what we needed and in perfect condition.
    You are guaranteed to have the wedding of your dreams at this venue and the staff make that happen. Even though we had to postpone our perfect day by an extra year and have a wedding still with restrictions in place, the Girls were quick to update us on what was happening and provide ideas to make it work. We cant thank Wickham Estate enough for giving us a day we will remember for the rest of our lives.

  • Lauren 2021

    I got married in July and it was just amazing. From my very first look round to the final goodbye at the end of the wedding day it was just amazing customer service and the team always was there whenever i had a question or 'mini panic'.
    We got married outside and was stunning. We used to bridal prep room and that was so much easier as it was on site so less stress getting ready too…The team were great and welcoming, my guests felt at ease and the day went off without a hitch. I couldn't recommend this venue more to people. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you for making our day so special.
