The whole team at Caversham House was amazing and instrumental to making our day what it was. Such a beautiful venue. Couldn't have imagined getting married anywhere else.

We had our ceremony here and it was gorgeous! The day went so smoothly, the communication was great all the way through booking, planning and confirming and everyone we dealt with was just lovely. The grounds are beautiful and provided the perfect backdrop for our pics.

Caversham House is the perfect location for a wedding. We had our ceremony outdoors at the Hidden Gardens. Though it was summer, at 4pm we had the perfect weather with its large canopy of trees providing shade and a river at the back for views and we had this lovely breeze coming by. The coordinators on that day were so helpful in helping myself the bride and my bridesmaid time our walking down the aisle. The reception dinner went smoothly and food was excellent - we opted for the premium buffet and the seafood entree was amazing. In fact all the food including desserts were amazing and 2 weeks after we still have guests commenting on the food they had there. We also realise we didn’t need a photobooth on site as the guests ended up preferring to walk around the venue which so picturesque in itself and were happy snapping pictures on the grounds by themselves. Would highly recommend Caversham House for your wedding venue - no where could be as perfect as it was.

The grounds were really lovely and well taken care of, it made for great pictures! The marquee where we had the reception was so elegant and had beautiful draping on the ceiling along with crystal chandeliers. On the day the coordinator was organised with even an earpiece to communicate to other staff to make the day go smoothly and they provided golf buggies which they drove the elderly/disabled up from the garden ceremony space to the Marquee at the top of the hill. All of the food and drinks they provided tasted really nice and I was pleased and how they catered for the vegans/ vegetarians at the wedding which was a fair few.
