Description
A Breathtaking Riverside Wedding Venue in the Heart of Berkshire
Nestled in the idyllic village of Bray, the Riverside Marquee offers an enchanting setting for couples dreaming of a romantic celebration surrounded by natural beauty. Set within 16 acres of pristine private grounds that sweep down to a beautiful section of the River Thames, this exclusive‑use venue provides a truly unforgettable backdrop for your wedding day.
Create a Unique Celebration with Custom Indoor & Outdoor Spaces
Our elegant marquee sits at the heart of a private estate, with floor‑to‑ceiling French doors and windows that fill the space with natural light and provide uninterrupted views of the manicured lawns, mature trees, and river. Whether you’re hosting an intimate celebration or a lively evening of dancing, the atmosphere is magical from morning to night.
Beyond the marquee, the estate offers a variety of picturesque outdoor areas perfect for creating something wonderfully personal. Couples can elevate their day with teepee tents, yurts, sail tents, stretch tents, or other bespoke structures, transforming the grounds into a festival‑style wedding, a boho‑chic lounge, or a completely custom-designed party space.
From candlelit chill‑out zones to vibrant outdoor dining areas, the possibilities are endless—and guest numbers are limited only by the size and configuration of the structures you choose. This flexibility makes the Riverside Marquee ideal for couples looking to craft a celebration that feels uniquely their own.
A Seamless Ceremony‑to‑Reception Experience
Fully licensed for civil ceremonies, the Riverside Marquee allows you to enjoy your entire celebration in one beautiful location. Exchange vows in the bright, airy marquee or choose an outdoor ceremony on the riverside lawns for a truly idyllic moment.
After the ceremony, guests can mingle on the terrace and gardens with drinks and canapés, taking in the tranquil riverside views. The marquee or bespoke structure then becomes your personalised reception space, complete with a stylish bar, spacious dance floor, and flexible layout—ready to be tailored to your unique style and vision.
