We at Decobloom Boutique had the absolute pleasure of setting up a dream ceremony and reception at the stunning Royal Berkshire Hotel in Ascot. The beautiful grounds provided the perfect backdrop for our vision, featuring a white runner and tall pillars adorned with elegant silk floral arrangements of wild garden blooms and white roses. Petals cascaded gracefully down each side of the aisle, while soft drapes and a single rose adorned the chairs, creating an enchanting atmosphere for an amazing couple.The staff at the Royal Berkshire Hotel were simply outstanding, offering assistance at every turn and ensuring everything went smoothly. Their dedication and attention to detail made our job so much easier, and we couldn't be more grateful for their support. The ceremony grounds were impeccably maintained, allowing our decor to blend seamlessly with the natural beauty of the surroundings. And to top it all off, the weather was absolutely perfect, making the day even more special for the couple.Inside, the hotel was grand and comfortable, providing a luxurious setting for the entire event. The wedding reception room was bright and beautiful, featuring chandeliers and twinkling lights that added a magical touch to the celebration. Outside, comfortable tables and chairs offered plenty of shade for the hot days, while garden games set on the grounds as a permanent feature allowed guests to play and enjoy themselves.We highly recommend the Royal Berkshire Hotel for any special occasion. Their exceptional service and breathtaking venue truly made this ceremony unforgettable.

Had off site meetings. It was a great location and the meeting area was fully stocked just outside the meeting rooms with snacks, drinks, etc.The rooms were lovely and well maintained. in general the team was very friendly and attentive. However, the bar staff and waiting staff often had to be flagged down to address things. That said, I would still fully recommend this location.

My sister and I had a wonderful 2 night stay during the races. This is truly still a hotel that knows how to provide effortless luxury. Understated, always warm and attentive, perfect rooms and good food. Our highlight was an evening on the terrace with live music, cocktails, and people dancing under the stars. I'm already planning a romantic getaway weekend for my husband and I soon. Thank you Royal Berkshire, it has been a pleasure.

Lovely property with friendly staff. Wish I stayed longer. Even after I left, I was reunited with some lost property. I’d left sandals in the room that I’d just purchased. They were pricey so I was very surprised to receive an email about them. I’ve stayed in other hotels and left trainers that “disappeared” after the cleaners went in. I highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for somewhere in the area. I’d definitely stay again!
