After the wedding fair on Sunday I got a chance to take some photographs inside Ufton Court as well as outside, the sun was not in the right place for the outside ones but was ideal for the inside ones. They have really kept the character of the old building and it is stunning. See below:

A beautiful venue in a wonderful setting is the Tithe Barn and Ufton Court at Ufton Nervert between Reading and Tadley in Berkshire. The venue is not a hotel, it is in fact a centre for education for under previlidged children but at other times it turns into a aplace where civil ceremonies and weddings can be performed along with the reception into the evening in a most beautiful setting. They can take up to 140 people sat down in the tithe barn and 75 in the ceremony room. A beautiful historic building with many of the originak features still in place.

Another great Venue for weddings is Silchester House, they only do one wedding per day and you get the whole house for the day, There are about 14 bedrooms for you and your guests with a 4 poster in the main bedroom. The grounds out the back are large and shaded for those sunny days and there are lots of nice spots inside the house for beautiful wedding photographs. Below are photographs of the front and back of the house.

Basingstoke is surrounded by old manner houses that have been converted to hotels or venues suitable for weddings and other special occasions and Audleys Wood has been beautifully laid out and decorated in the style of the origins of the house. It has a honeymoon suite with a 4 poster bed which overlooks the front of the grounds and so can be used to take the group photograph.

Had a great day today at Mill Hall in Newbury, this is a new wedding fair and the setting is beautiful, the main hall is oak panelled and has a massive fire place for some really great photographs. I managed to pinch a photograph off their website to attach below as when I was there the weather was pretty awful and loads of cars out the front so trying to get any kind of descent photograph was difficult.
