The perfect venue

What an amazing location and team at Grittenham barn. Thank you so much to Katherine, Charlie the property owners and the rest of the team- you did an amazing job to make our day so special.

Throughout the planning process Katherine was incredibly flexible in discussing elements to do with the wedding and open to site visits when needed.
They had the grounds looking absolutely stunning come our wedding day which made an incredible back drop for all our gorgeous photos.
We nearly had a slight hiccup with a particular supplier but the team went into battle for us to smooth everything out. They did everything they could to ensure we had the best day with no stress.

Charlie was great on the day as well making sure everything was running smoothly and the bridal party were supported.

We also hired the two cottages on site which were perfect for the bridal party to stay in and meant a very relaxed morning getting up and getting ready - a truely beautiful place to be!

The marquee was also a huge saviour on what turned out to be the hottest day of the year. We loved having our wedding outside in the walled garden.

A thousand thanks again to the Grittenham team. What an amazing venue for an amazing day.

The venue is completely magic

We just wanted to say a huge thank you to you (and Grittenham). The day was an absolute dream and that’s in large part down to the venue and the suppliers you recommended.

Paul Fletcher was absolutely incredible! His energy is amazing and he captured so many really beautiful moments throughout the day. We would recommend him to anyone and everyone!

Frankie and the team were amazing too. Our timings went pretty off track and they were brilliant and really flexible. All our guests raved about the food (including the horseradish!) and they did an awesome job with everything from the drinks, to food, to moving the chairs and tables.

And as for Brando…they’re another level! Again everyone’s still raving about them. Everyone was dancing the whole time and I reckon they would’ve just kept going if the band hadn’t stopped. We’re so glad we took your advice.

We had the best day of our lives

The venue was more perfect than we could have imagined. Our guests (and we!), were blown away.
Please do pass on our thanks to Nicola and Mark for hosting such a perfect weekend.

The whole weekend was amazing

The welcome from Katherine and Jeannine was brilliant, the cottage was lovely, Paul was lovely too. Jeannine was super for the whole time we were there too, nothing was too much trouble and she was always willing to help. It was lovely.
Our guests had a cracking time, and the only thing that was a shame was that time went too quickly, and it had to end!
Paul (bar) was an absolute super star for the whole time. He worked so incredibly hard, and was just the most pleasant person to be around, and his colleagues were fanatic too.
Thanks once again, I hope the subsequent events at the barn can have at least a fraction of the fun time that we had!

Amazing Countryside Wedding

We got married here in May 2015. The venue is absolutely beautiful, with the two barn areas for the ceremony and reception, and even some pigs and a couple of donkeys! Katherine and the team could not have been more helpful, with all the little attention to details - from the fairy lights around the beams and behind the registrar table, the outside bistro seating and lighting in the evening, to the in house bar from Grittenham Bar Company, it was the perfect day! I'd highly recommended booking this venue for a rustic, barn wedding as you can decorate it to suit your own theme (we went for a vintage 1950s wedding with bunting draped around the eves and old family photos hung on the walls). Two years on now and the memories are still as fresh - we'd do it all over again in a heartbeat and wouldn't change a thing :-)
