About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2020

Last update: July 2023

Wickham Estate is a unique wedding venue set amongst a beautiful 40-acre vineyard. Specially renovated to hold weddings, the grounds hold an outdoor and indoor ceremony space, quaint courtyard, main barn, on-site accommodation and, not to mention the many beautiful spots perfect for photos.


Licensed For Ceremonies

The 2 spectacular ceremony areas are;
The Gazebo- the rustic hut that sits right next to the vines. The wow factor when it comes to outdoor weddings. With a long aisle to make your entrance, it certainly will be a ceremony to remember.
The Vine Room- a naturally beautiful setting with large floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase the stunning vines. Large halo chandeliers and the neutral colour palette make this room so special and intimate.


The Perfect Venue

The main barn, called The Old Winery, was remodelled to hold your wedding breakfast and evening reception. With original wooden beams, chandeliers made of vintage crystal cut wine glasses, fairy lights and 10ft oak doors that make a grand entrance and open out into the adjoining courtyard.
The courtyard is the perfect place to enjoy sipping our very own premium English sparkling wine or perhaps a beer or glass of Pimms in the Summer sunshine.

The vineyard has a relaxed, romantic atmosphere that flows beautifully through the day and is the perfect combination of outside and inside. Enjoy the amazing sunsets over the vines and stay cosy and warm in the Old Winery. Whatever your dream wedding is, Wickham Estate can bring that to life. With our friendly and dedicated team of coordinators to help you through the planning process and on your special day itself.


Facilities and Capacity

Wickham Estate caters for up to 85 guests for the ceremony and wedding breakfast and up to 150 evening receptions. We are also a wheelchair-friendly site.


Services Offered

Wickham Estate's friendly and experienced team will work with you to help create the wedding day of your dreams. Once booked, you will also receive access to our online wedding portal, which holds a lot of helpful wedding planning information, all invoices, email correspondence and appointments. Booked couples also get exclusive dates to visit the venue leading up to their big day to bring friends, family, and suppliers or even use the time to measure and plan out their wedding day.

Fantastic Venue & Experience

From start to finish the events team were so helpful, quick on emails and always happy to help. Our wedding day was seamless, the staff were always on hand when required. The girls are so friendly and really added a lovely calming vibe on the day. The venue speaks for itself and requires very minimal dress up. The food was also delicious, nice sized positions with excellent presentation. Can’t thank the team enough for our beautiful day.

Second to None.

From initial viewing to the wedding day itself Three Chiors provided the most incredible service, Grace and Lois were both there to aid with all our queries and worries. The wedding day itself was perfect, the team were extremely flexible, nothing was too much.
We cannot recommend Three Chiors enough; the venue is beautiful, offers great value for money, the catering is lovely, and the wine is absolutely delicious.

Amazing day

We had the most amazing experience at Three Choirs Vineyard for our wedding day! From the venue itself which is absolutely stunning, to the efficiency of the staff, to the gorgeous accommodation onsite. We've had so many positive comments from our guests about how beautiful the venue was as we were lucky enough to avoid the rain to have our ceremony outside. I would recommend using the house onsite for the bridal prep room especially, but also to stay for the night. Although it's a little bit extra to pay, it's so worth it. We even managed to walk around the vineyard the following morning before we checked out. Overall the day was incredible and ran so so smoothly. Thank you Three Choirs ❤️

Beautiful venue and brilliant staff

We recently got married at Three Choirs Vineyard and it was incredible. The venue is beautiful and unique. Our wedding co-ordinator Grace and the manager Samantha are brilliant, they were so helpful and friendly. Everything was seamless and so professional. Exquisite Catering did an amazing job, everyone spoke so highly of the food.

The Perfect Wedding

Our experience at three choirs was incredible. Sam and Grace were so friendly and reassuring in the stressful times in planning, and on the day keeping things flowing and in line. We highly recommend the gorgeous venue and the wine itself for the day. It was the perfect combination with the food from Exquisite Catering team provided by Three choirs. The accommodation on site and the bridal suite was well equipped with what we needed and in perfect condition. You are guaranteed to have the wedding of your dreams at this venue and the staff make that happen. Even though we had to postpone our perfect day by an extra year and have a wedding still with restrictions in place, the Girls were quick to update us on what was happening and provide ideas to make it work. We cant thank Three Choirs enough for giving us a day we will remember for the rest of our lives.

Venue and staff were superb, but Exquisite Catering let the package down

We got married here first during Covid on 2021 and again for the celebration in 2023. The venue has been incredible and particularly with their flexibility during Covid.

Unfortunately the experience was let down by their caterers. We ordered 5 Gluten Free meals which were communicated and acknowledged but on the day were only stocked for 1! The proved a bit stressful on the day as these guests were severely celiac. The chef did what he could but was not great.

We opted to go for the evening buffet bbq for everyone, which was only just satisfactory. The meats were clearly re-heated and quite frankly the product was not of great quality at all. The chicken looked anemic and I would hedge my bet that it was microwaved.

Overall a really poor show from the catering side of things, and I hope the venue takes on this feedback as the food and service was terrible.

Other than that, a great day and as I said the venue and their staff were brilliant!

Best wedding venue in Hampshire!

We booked Wickham Estate for our wedding and 6 short months later we got married. Lois definitely made that short time frame possible, sensational organisational skills and kind demeanour making it stress free. We weren’t sure what we wanted for our wedding venue but when we saw the vineyard we knew it ticked all boxes. We wanted to make sure all of our guests were catered to with accommodation on site for our elderly family, no commute between ceremony and venue and a beautiful backdrop. We could not ask for more from what the venue offers and the incredible attention to detail from Lois. The support the entire way through was outstanding and I know without Lois I would have not been a stress free bride. Thank you so much for all your support the entire way through, we had the best day ever.

Perfect Venue

Where to begin with why I'd recommend them?! From the very first enquiry, all contacts were swift, clear, friendly yet professional. They worked around difficult time schedules as my husband isn't from UK so we had limited availability to visit together etc. When covid hit, and our wedding was cancelled twice, they supported us wonderfully, keeping in touch, keeping our spirits up whilst also keeping us very uptodate with what rules etc meant. Due to visa restrictions, we had to get married in a certain time frame, and they made this happen for us, which I can never thank them enough for. The venue itself is gorgeous. It's beautiful without being ostentatious, elegant but comfortable. We had time to come in and decorate, and were guided through the day itself by Grace who is just awesome! If I could do it all over again, I would pick that venue every time.

Just amazing.

I simply couldn't praise Three Choirs enough. After two postponements due to Covid, we finally made it third time lucky and it was just the most amazing day.
Throughout Covid, Samantha was always available to talk through any concerns we had, was prepared to move our dates and talk through all our different options and how we could make it all work. She was such a comfort and it made such a difference in what was a really anxious time.
In the run up to the wedding, Lois was simply wonderful. She was so detailed and knowledgeable and nothing was too much to ask, even though 'TBC was my go to phrase through the planning stages! She took the pressure off by liaising with suppliers on our behalf and dealt with any issues quietly behind the scenes.
I would absolutely 100% recommend the house if you can. It was really special getting ready at the venue but also being able to stay the night and not have to worry about going anywhere made a really wonderful end to the evening. We also use Mother of the Tribe to help look after the children at the wedding and they were just amazing and completely worth the cost.
It was the most wonderful and perfect day and I couldn't be more grateful to the amazing team at Three Choirs. The venue was perfect and it was everything we wanted. Thank you x

Wedding 23/10/2021

We recently got married at the vineyard and it was the most beautiful setting. We initially struggled to find a venue, but the Three Choirs Vineyard was definitely a hidden gem and had the cosy intimate vibe we wanted. I would also like to say a massive thank you to all of the staff, especially Grace, our co-ordinator. She was brilliant both in the lead up to the big day but also on the day itself. We didn't have a toastmaster so Grace kindly stepped in to ensure the day ran smoothly, which enabled us to stay relaxed and calm throughout so we could enjoy the day. I would also like to say another thank you to Hannah, the catering manager at Exquisite Catering as she kept in contact with myself and Grace throughout the process and the food was absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend this venue for any event as its simply stunning and the team are fantastic!

A perfect authentic day

We could not have asked for more from this venue and suppliers, from start to finish. Grace & Samantha from Three Choirs and Hannah from exquisite catering were exceptionally supportive and nothing was too much of a chore. They were on hand to help and answer and questions and concerns right up to our special day and beyond.

The beauty of the venue speaks for itself and the food matched perfectly creating the best day we could have asked for.

I just wish we could do it all again!

A fairy tale wedding ❤️

We cannot recommend Three Choirs enough! On Saturday we had the most magical day and made memories that will last forever! Three choirs were so supportive and patient with us leading up to our wedding. Due to covid we found planning the wedding really stressful and difficult as we had family coming over from abroad but Three Choirs couldn’t have been more helpful. The venue is beautiful, the staff were amazing and the food was incredible! We want to do it all over again :)
Grace- thank you for making the beginning part of planning our wedding so much easier, you are just wonderful!
Lois- you now feel like a family member as we have chatted to you so much and you have been there for us throughout the whole process. We are so grateful for everything you done for us and how hard you worked on the day!
Samantha- you kept our wedding running smoothly throughout the day and very kindly helped us out when we had a few issues and for that we owe you a huge thank you!

Thanks girls! Lots of love Mr and Mrs Belachsen xxx

The Perfect day !!

Thank you so much to Three choirs for our dream wedding on 23rd July !! We originally wanted to get married in Italy in a vineyard setting and never realised we had this beautiful venue only 10 minutes away from our house !! The staff were fantastic and accommodating with all of our worries around Covid. They did everything they could to make our wedding day special.

The venue is just absolutely stunning ❤️

Thank you

Incredible

I got married in july and it was just amazing. From my very first look round to the final goodbye at the end of the wedding day it was just amazing customer service and the team always was there whenever i had a question or ‘mini panic’. We got married outside and was stunning. We used to bridal prep room and that was so much easier as it was on site so less stress getting ready too…The team were great and welcoming, my guests felt at ease and the day went off without a hitch. I couldnt recommend this venue more to people. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you for making our day so special.

Perfect venue

We had an outdoor ceremony at the Vineyard in August and it was the most perfect day you could ask for. The venue is beautiful and rustic and the grounds are lovely. Grace (the co-ordinator) was so helpful and made the day run very smoothly. Couldn't recommend enough!
