I was lucky enough to visit Burnham Beeches in Slough recently (my review will be published the next issue). Inside the historic manor house, ceremonies, the wedding breakfast and receptions take place in the Windsor Suite for up to 120 guests, a blank canvas that can be styled to suit any theme. It's flooded with natural daylight and features wooden floors, contemporary neutral interiors and elegant features. This suite is ideal for weddings in the cooler months or for a drink reception with The Chiltern Bar, positioned next door, ensuring a sociable atmosphere.
