I shot a wedding at Badgemore Park in September of 2021. The venue is absolutely lovely, inside and out. Some great places for photos outside particuarly in an beautiful tree lined avanue. Additionally we went on a golf buggy to a lovely area with a pond which was very scenic and great as a back drop for photos. The staff were lovely and offered me drinks a few times (this happends seldomly at weddings/venues so was very much appreciated). All in all a very lovely venue!

We had a wonderful Christmas lunch at Badgemore Park. There were nearly 40 of us for our Christmas lunch. The food was delicious, with great menu choices. The staff were incredibly helpful and attentive, both on the day and helping to organise the event. They made a real effort and it felt very Christmassy! They were also very good at helping us feel safe in these difficult Covid times.

Report
Shiplake WI thoroughly enjoyed a delicious Christmas lunch at Badgemore Park. From the warm welcome by Carina and the whole team right through to coffee and mince pies the atmosphere, organisation and service were excellent. The meal was tasty, hot and plentiful. We also appreciated the finishing touches such as the beautifully-presented guest name cards and the central table vases that didnt block the view of the person sitting opposite. Well done Badgemore - we have already booked for next year!

We got married at Badgemore Park back in September this year. Carina and her staff were exceptional, the accommodation, the venue, the FOOD was just outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble and i can't recommend the venue highly enough! We had the best day and would do it all again tomorrow if we could. Big THANK YOU
