About
Capturing your heart from the moment you arrive, Blackwell Grange has been a family home for generations, loved by its owners and steeped in history. In 2016 Blackwell Grange opened its doors as an exclusive-use wedding venue for your special day sharing every wonder of the listed buildings and the land, from the characterful heritage to the tranquil Cotswold location, featuring contemporary, elegant interior design and exceptional attention to detail.
Over the past 400 years, the beautiful 16th century Thatch Barn has become part of the Blackwell landscape. Lovingly restored, it is licensed for civil ceremonies with features including the original oak beams and barn doors, a magnificent open fire and ambient lighting. Say your vows in this romantic, rustic barn, before enjoying welcome drinks and canapés on the Apple Tree Lawn. Alternatively, you might choose to have a religious ceremony in one of the many picturesque churches in surrounding villages.
Dining and dancing take place in the contemporary Orchard Barn, bathed in light from its floor-to-ceiling windows and doors and featuring a stylish bar and staircase, impressive dining space and mezzanine ‘chill out’ area. Heritage and modern design collide and blend effortlessly together. Bar stools made from tractor seats, and doors paneled with wood from the original water tower sit alongside a striking helical staircase and contemporary copper bar. Expert craftsmanship and exceptional interior design can be seen at every turn.
The on-site catering and events team at Blackwell Grange, working with you to create an exceptional wedding breakfast that is unique to your special day. Delicious, fun and theatrical, we want this to be the most spectacular family meal you have ever enjoyed. When it comes to your evening celebration, our talented chefs will delight your guests with food that is a visual and taste sensation, from live food stations to barbecues or wood-fired pizza in the Herb Garden.
With vast experience in planning weddings, your dedicated planners will be on hand from the moment you visit Blackwell Grange to help you create your perfect day. Whether you would like advice on local cake designers or suggestions on how to make the very best of this wonderful venue, we will be there, working together with you to turn your dreams into reality.
As the sun goes down, soak up the landscape, and enjoy the brand new on-site accommodation, 1604, that offers ten carefully designed en-suite bedrooms accommodating up to 22 guests including the bride and groom, and is located just a stone’s throw away from all the fun and festivities in the Orchard Barn. You and your loved ones can stay, swathed in the idyll of Blackwell Grange until morning, enjoying breakfast together and reminiscing about your wedding day before you leave.

David P. Married on 30/08/2021Perfect wedding venue
A stunning venue with an equally impressive catering team, Blackwell Grange was our clear winner when booking our wedding. Postponed due to covid, Lucy and the team were a great support and made a very stressful time much more manageable. On the day everything was perfect; the food is divine and the staff couldn’t do enough to make sure everything ran well and everyone was having a great day. 10/10 doesn’t do it justice, the perfect venue for our perfect day -

Francesca L. Married on 12/07/2021Couldn't have been better!
After a six month delay we finally got married at Blackwell Grange on 12th July 2021. Blackwell were supportive through the entire pandemic, keeping on top of all the changing restrictions and being flexible with changing our date twice.
In the end we couldn’t have had a better day. The whole Blackwell team were absolutely amazing, and provided an absolutely incredible wedding within the remaining Covid restrictions. Everyone was so supportive, and they seemed to have thought of everything. From the moment we arrived at Blackwell we felt relaxed and taken care of. Special thanks to event manager Lucy, who was so bright and friendly and made it all seem effortless but must have been a huge amount of work! And to venue owner Didi, who bent over backwards to help us when Covid threw a spanner in the works at the last minute.
We had no end of compliments from our guests about the beautiful venue, the gorgeous outdoor ceremony space that had been created over lockdown, the seamless and helpful service, and the stunning food (both the plated meal and the evening pizzas). The caterers at Blackwell are top-notch!
After the serious stress of planning a wedding during a pandemic, Blackwell gave us a beautiful, incredibly special day. We are so, so glad that we booked this venue!

Sarah B. Married on 22/05/2021Special Venue, Special experience
Finally got married at Blackwell Grange, 22.05.21. The team were absolutely fantastic during COVID postponement and dealing with ever changing last minute guidance for our new date.
We felt nothing but supported, there was always a friendly voice at the end of the phone, no question too big or too small, nothing left unresolved.
We feel the venue went above and beyond to create the day we had been dreaming about for so long, despite restrictions, they even secured additional outdoor furniture especially in time for our wedding.
The day went without a hitch, everything was set up exactly as we had imagined and we feel extremely grateful to have been able to have our wedding with Blackwell Grange.
The food was INCREDIBLE, every single one of our 28 guests complimented us on it, either on the day or messaged after. We had the gin bar, which was fantastic and our reception drinks were so tasty, I am making them my signature party drink!
Special thanks to GM Lucy, you've been incredible all the way along and your kindness and support (and COVID restriction translation) absolutely made our COVID wedding experience stress free and our day beautiful. Thank you
