About the Venue
Trunkwell House
★ Recommended Supplier
Jade Victoria is a recommended supplier at Trunkwell House, trusted by the venue to look after their brides on the day. She knows the house, the bridal suite and the schedule inside out.
A charming Victorian country house set in its own private grounds in the village of Beech Hill, just south of Reading. With its distinctive red-brick and Tudor-style timber-framed facade, mature oak trees and manicured lawns, Trunkwell House has a warm, welcoming character that feels more like a private home than a typical wedding venue.
The intimate scale of the house means the whole day has a relaxed, personal feel, and the grounds provide beautiful backdrops for photographs without ever having to leave the estate.
Location: Beech Hill Road, Beech Hill, Reading, Berkshire RG7 2BE — approximately 30 minutes from Windsor.
Getting Ready
The bridal suite at Trunkwell House is a lovely, light-filled room with views over the gardens — a genuinely relaxing space to spend the morning with your bridal party. The intimate feel of the house means there’s none of the impersonal hotel atmosphere you sometimes find at larger venues.
Jade brings her full professional kit and lighting to guarantee flawless application whatever the conditions — and arrives with a detailed schedule for the bridal party so the morning runs smoothly from the very first moment.
Capacity & Setting
Trunkwell House is licensed for ceremonies of up to 120 guests and can host receptions for up to 200 in the evening. Outdoor ceremonies take place on the sweeping lawn beneath the mature oak trees, while the house itself offers elegant, character-filled spaces for the wedding breakfast.
The private grounds include beautiful gardens, a terrace and wooded areas — everything you need for photographs without leaving the estate.
What Brides Love
The warmth and character of a genuine country house rather than a corporate hotel, the freedom of exclusive use for the whole day, the beautiful mature gardens and oak trees for photographs, and the relaxed, unhurried feel that comes from a venue where everything is on your own terms.
Your Wedding Morning
What to Expect on the Day
Jade will arrive at Trunkwell House and set up in the bridal suite with professional lighting and her full kit, along with a detailed schedule for your bridal party so the morning is organised and relaxed from the very first moment.
The intimate scale of the house means the atmosphere on the morning is wonderfully calm — more like getting ready at home with friends than in a large, busy venue. Jade keeps everything running to time so you can simply enjoy the experience.
She stays with you until you leave for the ceremony, handling any touch-ups and making sure every member of the bridal party looks incredible before you step out onto those beautiful lawns.
Jade’s Tip
Hair & Makeup at Trunkwell House
Trunkwell House has a lovely, natural setting with mature trees and gardens — your makeup needs to look beautiful in both the soft indoor light of the house and the bright, open garden light outside. Jade plans for both, ensuring a skin-led finish that photographs flawlessly in every setting.
As a recommended supplier, Jade knows exactly how the day flows at Trunkwell and can plan your bridal morning schedule around the venue’s timings — including the best moments for photographs in the grounds.
For a summer wedding the gardens are at their most beautiful from late May through September. If you’re planning an outdoor ceremony beneath the oak trees, a simple weather contingency means you can enjoy a stress-free morning whatever the day brings.
