Best wedding day ever!
We celebrated our wedding reception at Latimer house and it was the most amazing day ever. Jess is the most wonderful wedding coordinator.she will prompt you for information but not hassle you. I enjoyed planning the reception with her. Jess and Karina together ensured that our wedding day was perfect and exactly as we wanted it. All our guests had a spectacular time and raved about the venue! Cannot highly recommend enough!

Amazing Wedding Venue
We had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at De Vere Latimer estate in June 2024. We had Jess as our events manager and she made all the planning so simple and easy. We got to catch up with her before the wedding at different points to make sure we were all on schedule and to answer all our questions. On the day before the wedding and on the day itself it was wonderful to have Jess around as she offered all the last min support we needed and put us at ease.

Our Wedding
Our whole experience from start to finish was amazing. The support and guidance we received from Jessica, from the first visit to after the wedding, was amazing. She was extremely helpful and informative. She made the experience super easy and it took all the stress away from us! On the wedding day, Karina was superb. She helped make the day go smoothly without any hiccups. The whole team and all the staff we encountered were fantastic and super professional.

A beautiful wedding venue with superb service
Latimer House provided the perfect location for our civil ceremony - the Cheyne room was a gorgeous setting for both the ceremony and the dinner with a beautiful backdrop over the Chess Valley, and the library provided a cosy yet classy space to drink champagne and enjoy the moment with family. The backdrop of the impressive manor house, carriage driveway and valley have made for fantastic photos.

Our perfect wedding day
We knew from soon after we got engaged that De Vere Latimer would be top of our list of potential venues. After a bit of searching we booked a meeting with Jess, the weddings coordinator and quickly our minds were made up. We set our date for 7th December 2024 and started planning! Jess and her team were incredible throughout the whole planning process, giving us advice and reassurance and scheduling meetings at various points to ensure everything was on schedule.

The venue is stunning and the staff are amazing
''On Friday 3rd November my now wife and I got married in the Cavendish Suite at De Vere Latimer Estate. It was, without a doubt, the best day of our lives, and from the moment we booked with them the Latimer wedding team were wonderful. Our wedding coordinator was Jessica and her responsiveness, professionalism and joyful personality absolutely made planning our wedding a dream - she answered all questions and bent over backwards to make things so easy and fun for us.''

Our perfect wedding day.
We knew from soon after we got engaged that De Vere Latimer would be top of our list of potential venues. After a bit of searching we booked a meeting with Jess, the weddings coordinator and quickly our minds were made up. We set our date for 7th December 2024 and started planning! Jess and her team were incredible throughout the whole planning process, giving us advice and reassurance and scheduling meetings at various points to ensure everything was on schedule. Nothing was ever too much trouble and our experience was really enjoyable. It was so nice to feel confident that a bulk of the planning was taken care of by true professionals who have run hundreds of weddings and really know their stuff in the industry. It was small stuff like Jess suggesting we had our ceremony a little earlier at noon to make the most of the daylight, which we wouldn’t have necessarily considered. We were also able to invite our dog for some of the day for some photos, which truly meant the world. Jess organised for us to enjoy a fabulous menu tasting. Where to begin with the food… the choices, the menus and the quality of the food was absolutely fantastic. We had so many compliments on the day by our guests who loved our wedding breakfast. We were all wined and dined all day long with canapés, drinks, a three course dinner and food into the evening, with the wood fired pizzas being a huge hit with our guests. We enjoyed the most incredible, emotional and fun filled day from start to finish, fully supported by Jess, Karina and Bea who were amazing all day long. They could not have done more for us. They helped to coordinate our beautiful ceremony room, set up our eating area and brought all of our dreams to reality with a gift table, Christmas tree, cheese stack and cake which they even decorated for us. We had a wonderful toastmaster, Nick, on the day who helped the day flow. From saying our vows in the Cavendish Suite to enjoying our three course dinner and then dancing the night away with our live band, our guests enjoyed spilling out into the Huntley Bar to recline on sofas and enjoy sparklers on the steps of the mansion. It was magical. We can’t put into words how pleased we are that we chose De Vere Latimer as our wedding venue and it will always hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you particularly to Jess, Karina and Bea. Thank you thank you thank you! Lydia and John xxx

Perfect wedding venue
We are still on such a natural high from the perfect day!    Thanks must go to both Jessica (our wedding manager) and Bea (our wedding coordinator on the day) for being so helpful and kind, Bea deserves a promotion.   We had the most wonderful perfect day it couldn’t have gone any better! We can’t stop smiling!    The venue is truly amazing! We had a small intimate wedding with just 32 including ourselves and the room worked perfectly creating a relaxed day which everyone loved and commented as much. Our photographer Karolina was inspired by the most beautiful setting she even stayed longer to capture the essence of the surroundings.   We have the most wonderful memories, thank you for helping make those happen!  Pippa & Guy

The backdrop of the impressive manor house, carriage driveway and valley have made for fantastic photos. Our overnight stay in the Junior Suite was included; the room was spacious, clean and incredibly comfortable with a nice view. All the staff were very attentive throughout our time there and we felt well-looked after. Everything went smoothly with not a thing out of place. Thank you also to the wedding team in the months leading up to the day, they made it easy and stress-free to plan the details. Thank you for making our day special, we have enjoyed the many compliments from our families who joined us - we will be back!

We had the wonderful Karina running the day, keeping across the set up, suppliers and guests’ needs. She made sure everything flowed smoothly and she would handle any requests we had straight away. She is a massive asset to the venue and anybody getting married will be lucky to have her run the day! The food was delicious and even ticked all the boxes for our most picky eaters. Lots of the guests commented that this was the best wedding food they have ever had! The venue both inside and outside created amazing opportunities for our photographer to take beautiful shots. I cannot thank the whole team enough for making it the most memorable day of our lives.
