Spectacular Wedding Venue In Berkshire
Combe Manor and its barns are set in the stunning picturesque hills of Combe, and make a perfect wedding venue for couples looking for stunning views amid a picturesque historical rural setting.
The L-shaped position of the two great barns offer very flexible space. It has a stage at the angle of the barns ideal for bands, discoteque etc. We have a licence with West Berkshire Council to conduct civil ceremonies in the Barns. We can seat an audience of over 150 for a marriage ceremony. There is also a delightful small Norman church (Grade 1 Listed) next door to the Manor. This can be used for the wedding ceremony subject to discussion with the local Rector and agreement with the Church of England. The church is just 50 metres’ walk to the barns.Some couples prefer to be married in their local parish church and then come to Combe Manor Barns for the reception afterwards.

About Combe
Combe is located in West Berkshire, at the very southernmost tip of the county. To the west lies Wiltshire, Basingstoke and Deane to the east, and the Test Valley to the south. It is within easy driving distance of Newbury, Hungerford, Basingstoke, Reading and Swindon. The village has a colourful history dating back to the bronze age. Probably most famous for being the home of Combe Gibbet, on Walbury Hill, the highest point in West Berkshire, and indeed South East England, from where, on a clear day you can have spectacular views of four counties: Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Hampshire and Wiltshire.
With so much history and so much beautiful countryside in one place Combe really is perfectly located as the most beautiful wedding venue in West Berkshire.
It was such a magical day and it was the perfect church for us to get married in… the venue was magnificent. When you have everyone inside and sitting down it is quite literally like being in a banquet hall.
