- CClaire White17/06/2019I can highly recommend the De Vere Cotswolds WaterI can highly recommend the De Vere Cotswolds WaterI thought that the whole team who dealt with us were brilliant from start to finish. Stacey Renouf looked after us from our first meeting to view the hotel until our wedding day and was professional and accommodating and steered us in the right direction at all points, she was very calm and organised which reassured us and made the process very easy for us. I would like to recognise the gentleman who looked after us on the day and who was co-ordinating everything but I can't remember his name, again he was great as were all the staff. My guests had a wonderful day as did we and were impressed with the hotel, location and views along with the food.

- MMr and Mrs Harrison17/06/2019Amazing weddingAmazing weddingStacey was very good at keeping us up to date with our preperations and was very happy to answer any questions we had. On our wedding day Hugh and Anna were both very attentive and made sure we both were happy and anything they could help with, nothing was too much trouble. Really nice to have the extra touches left for us in the suite -rose petals on bed, champagne from staff, wedding card. Also when we arrived home from honeymoon to receive a card, personalised bar of chocolate and 1 year anniversary stay at the hotel. We both had a very enjoyable day, weather was lovely and the hotel with the lake made it special to us.Stacey was very good at keeping us up to date with our preperations and was very happy to answer any questions we had.

- IIan Gunyon17/06/2019Truly everyone exceeded our expectationsTruly everyone exceeded our expectationsWe looked at a number of locations and chose the De Vere Cotswold Waterpark because of its location, views of the lake and our initial meetings with the staff at the venue. The build up to the event was led by Stacey, who was pro-active, friendly and supportive making the whole process easy from our initial meeting to the actual day. Nothing was too much trouble as we finalised the details for our big day and by listening to her suggestions we are able to tailor the day to exactly as we wanted it. We first met Gareth we were having our food and beverage tasting and he led the team on the actual day of the wedding, he kept everything to time with a smile and a laugh, again making sure everything was perfect. We also decided we wanted a "photo booth" on the day and Faye and Jon (the Two Bonnies) did an amazing job - some of the photos make me laugh out loud and everyone enjoyed the experience (with a copy of any photos to take away). I would recommend the location and the people who made our day so special. Truly everyone exceeded our expectations and we had the most amazing time.

- MMegan Wills17/06/2019We cannot thank the hotel and staff enough We cannot thank the hotel and staff enoughMe and my husband got married here last weekend (25-05-19). We arranged a viewing at this venue around 18 months ... Me and my husband got married here last weekend (25-05-19). We arranged a viewing at this venue around 18 months before and just walking into the reception I knew this is where I wanted to spend my wedding day. The venue is beautiful, the staff are helpful and friendly and there was nothing we could fault! During our 18 months of planning I was in constant contact with our wedding coordinator ‘Stacey’. No question was too big or small for them, no requirements or requests were too much either. I always got email replies straight away and they made me feel so relaxed that I could trust them with all of our plans. The day before the wedding, my bridesmaids and I all had a meal and were given a glass of bubbly to celebrate! They treated us like we were having the only wedding in the world. The morning of the wedding I had three members of staff (poly, lewis and Hugh), who helped run our wedding day. I never saw them without a smile on their face and were so helpful. Our day ran so smoothly and if there were any problems they would of sorted it as I wasn’t aware of anything. The whole day was just amazing, all the guests had a great day.

- GGriffiths and Steel17/06/2019I couldn't have asked for more I couldn't have asked for moreStacey was excellent, Gareth (FBM) was very attentive in the week leading up to the wedding which made it more special and a nice touch considering we just happened to bump into him when doing a last minute check. Hugh who looked after us on the day, I couldn't have asked for more and he made sure that everything I'd asked for in terms of additional decorating was done himself, it was perfect.Stacey was excellent, Gareth (FBM) was very attentive in the week leading up to the wedding which made it more special and a nice touch considering we just happened to bump into him when doing a last minute check.
