All couples must book through Hampshire Registry Office. This must be done online through their website, and the cost is directly paid to the registry office, not the venue. Your Wedding Co-Ordinator can advise on the website details.

voco Winchester Hotel & Spa is located just outside Winchester city centre, on the edge of the beautiful South Downs National Park. The hotel is easily accessible from the M3, just minutes from Junction 9, and offers the perfect balance of countryside surroundings with convenient transport links. Our postcode is SO21 1HZ, placing us within a short drive of Winchester and well-connected for guests travelling from across Hampshire and beyond.

The private function bar will be open until Midnight for your wedding day. If you did wish to extend after this point, this would need to be discussed with your Wedding Co-Ordinator & an addition fee would occur.

Absolutely not! At our venue we work on a one Bride per day policy. This is your day!

You can seat up to 10 guests per round table, and also up to 10 guests on your long top table.

Unfortunately, we do not allow corkage at the venue. All alcohol must be supplied by voco Winchester Hotel & Spa.

For a ceremony, we are licensed to accommodate up to 150 guests on-site. For the wedding breakfast meal, we match this guest number, therefore also accommodating up to 150 guests. Guest numbers can then be increased for your evening reception, to a maximum of 300 guests. Please note, all maximum guest numbers listed include the Bride & Groom, along with any children or babies present during the wedding day.

Unfortunately, we do not provide a getting ready room for the Bridal party within the wedding pricing structure. We advise that if Bride’s wish to get ready on-site the morning of the wedding (which we recommend!), that a bedroom is booked the night prior to the wedding, where a complimentary late check out is offered the day of the wedding until your ceremony time, subject to availability.

All wedding guests receive 15% discount on our best flexible rate, and these bedrooms will need to be booked via our in-house reservations team, between Monday to Friday 9am to 4:30pm. If guests call outside of these times or the line is engaged, they will be transferred to IHG central reservations who cannot book this discount. This can also not be done online; they need to contact the hotel directly. Once the wedding is confirmed & a contract has been received by the venue, you will receive a specific wedding code which guests can use to book the special rate. Please note, this rate can only be applied to the night of the wedding.

Access is granted from 7AM the day of the wedding. If there is no event taking place the day prior, access can be granted 24 hours earlier. Your Wedding Co-Ordinator will be able to advise you on this closer to the wedding date.

Absolutely! As long as the confetti is biodegradable, sprinkle as much as you want!

We have 150 car parking spaces on site at the venue for guests to use. Car parking is complimentary for all wedding guests. When guests arrive to the venue, they will just need to register their registration plate number at the tablet located at our Reception Desk.

Unfortunately, we do not allow external catering on-site at the venue. All catering options are produced by our wonderful in-house Chefs.

Yes, we can cater for specific dietary requirements. All dietary requirements within your guest list must be provided to the venue no later than one month prior to the wedding date. Your Wedding Co-Ordinator will provide a table plan document for any dietary requirements to be clearly listed, and will advise on specific dishes or dish alterations if required for guests.

Yes absolutely! If you wish to book a band, this is not a problem – we just ask you to provide the right PL insurance and PAT Testing certificates to your Wedding Co-Ordinator in advance of the wedding date.

Unfortunately, we don’t allow lit candles for weddings & events. If you did want candles as part of your decoration, they must be battery powered or LED style candles.

Unfortunately, we do not allow fireworks at the venue.

We recommend opting to use the suppliers on the recommended supplier list. The suppliers we recommend know the venue inside & outside, and are fully trusted to do the amazing job they do. If you did wish to use an alternative supplier who is not on our recommended supplier list this would need to be approved by your Wedding Co-Ordinator, with public liability documents provided in advance of the wedding.
