About the Venue
De Vere Wokefield Estate
A grand Victorian mansion set in 250 acres of parkland with manicured gardens and a picturesque lake, De Vere Wokefield Estate creates a sweeping and elegant setting for weddings of all sizes. The Terrace Suite offers direct access onto a private terrace overlooking the lake, while the Palmer Suite and Old Lounge feature chandeliers and stunning water views for more intimate celebrations.
Wokefield Estate has real grandeur — the Victorian mansion, the sweeping parkland, that gorgeous lake. It’s the kind of venue that makes a big impression on guests the moment they arrive, and the dedicated Bridal Lounge shows how seriously they take the wedding morning experience. Jade loves how well-organised the wedding team are here and how smoothly everything runs.
Location: Near Reading, Berkshire RG7 3BG — 10 minutes from M4 J11, approximately 35 minutes from Windsor.
Getting Ready
The newly renovated Bridal Lounge provides a dedicated getting-ready space with refreshments and a professional makeup station, designed specifically for wedding morning preparations.
Having a purpose-built space with a professional station makes Jade’s setup straightforward and efficient. The lounge is comfortable and well-lit, with everything you need for a relaxed morning. It’s clear the venue has put real thought into what brides and their artists need on the morning.
Capacity & Setting
From intimate gatherings to large weddings of up to 300 guests, including summer marquee options on the lawns.
250 acres of parkland with a Victorian mansion, manicured gardens, a lake and an outdoor licensed pergola. The lakeside is a stunning spot for photographs, and the estate provides a golf buggy so you can explore the best photo locations without walking in your dress.
What Brides Love
The dedicated wedding coordinators who keep everything running perfectly, the beautiful lakeside photo opportunities with a golf buggy provided to get you there, and the thoughtful touches like cake in the room and rose petals on the bed that show real attention to detail.
Your Wedding Morning
What to Expect on the Day
Jade will arrive at the Bridal Lounge at Wokefield Estate with her full kit and a detailed schedule for your bridal party. The purpose-built space means she can get set up quickly and efficiently, and the morning runs smoothly from the very first moment.
The estate is grand and impressive, and the morning has a real sense of occasion. Jade keeps everything on track while you enjoy the experience — refreshments, music, laughter with your bridal party, all the things that make a wedding morning memorable.
She stays with you right through until you leave for the ceremony, making sure every person looks their absolute best. If there’s time for the lakeside photographs beforehand, she’ll make sure you’re camera-ready for those too.
Jade’s Tip
Hair & Makeup at De Vere Wokefield Estate
The dedicated Bridal Lounge includes a professional makeup station, which makes setup straightforward. The estate is large, so Jade always confirms the exact room location in advance to ensure a smooth arrival — there’s nothing worse than spending ten minutes trying to find the right building.
Wokefield Estate is about 35 minutes from Windsor, and Jade builds in extra time for the estate’s size. She arrives early, gets set up in the Bridal Lounge, and is ready to go before the first person sits down in the chair.
The lake here is beautiful for photographs, so Jade makes sure hair and makeup are completely finished with time to spare for your photographer to capture those lakeside shots — the golf buggy ride down there is a lovely experience in itself.
