Blackwell Grange is such a stunning venue and we are so happy we chose to get married there. From the first planning meeting to the day itself, Suzy was truly amazing. Planning a wedding from overseas was definitely challenging, but Suzy was a superstar, helping answer all of our questions, helping us make decisions and making the day run smoothly. The food was amazing on the day – We had so many compliments from all of our guests saying it was some of the best wedding food they’ve had. The day was truly magical and we wouldn’t have been able to do so without the help of the Blackwell Grange team and Suzy especially. Would highly recommend this venue to anyone who is looking to have a wedding in the Cotswolds. It is truly a magical place.

Absolutely exceptional experience at Blackwell Grange. From the moment we arrived, the venue took our breath away - elegant, immaculately kept, and set against the most stunning surroundings, especially on such a beautiful day. The team were outstanding throughout: attentive without ever being intrusive, warm, professional, and genuinely invested in making the day perfect. Every detail was handled seamlessly, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the occasion. Blackwell Grange is a truly special venue that combines beauty, atmosphere, and first-class service. We couldn’t have asked for more and would recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience.

The level of care and attention not only on the day, but also leading up to it, from planning the catering, order of the day, etc., was incredible. Both the 1604 and management teams were helpful, responsive and supportive, as well as lovely and empathetic on a personal level. Thank you all for making our wedding day so memorable and easy to plan!

Absolutely amazing venue, we had the most perfect day and couldn't have asked for more. The staff were incredible and just made our dream day a reality. Food was amazing. 1604 accommodation is incredible, beautiful rooms for yourself and you guests.

We recently had our wedding at Blackwell Grange, and we honestly couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. Nestled in the beautiful Cotswold countryside, the venue is absolutely stunning - from the charming Thatched Barn for the ceremony to the gorgeous gardens, which were in full bloom for our summer wedding. I also particularly loved getting ready in the Potting Shed, which had a row of mirrors and chairs, like a salon, as well as a bathroom and coffee and tea facilities. Perfect for getting ready with my bridesmaids!

From start to finish, everything was flawless. We felt so at ease and truly cared for thanks to Suzy and her incredible team, whose professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made all the difference. Nothing was too much trouble, and their calm, friendly presence allowed us to really relax and enjoy every moment.

The food was divine - beautifully presented, delicious, and loved by every single one of our guests. We've had so many compliments since, not only about the meal but also about how breathtaking the venue was.

We’re so grateful for the love and care that went into making our day so special. It was everything we dreamed of and more – truly a day we’ll never forget. If you're looking for a magical countryside venue with exceptional service, we couldn't recommend Blackwell Grange more highly.

What can we say, they were the perfect venue. The managing staff and wait staff were superb. We had so many compliments on the food and how helpful the staff was on the day. A special thanks to Stuart and Suzy who were by our sides all day. The attention to detail on the day and the constant communication beforehand made the whole experience really relaxing.

If you can, do stay the night before your wedding! It makes the morning of the wedding so relaxing. We had an amazing meal prepared by Didi the night before which was lovely! The rooms are stunning! And we loved that every room has it's own theme - so creative.

We cannot thank the staff enough for making our day so special!

We fell in love with Blackwell Grange as soon as we visited. We got married on 11/4/25 and we had the most perfect day from start to finish. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, and the thatched barn is just breathtaking. Luckily, we had brilliant weather too. The staff are amazing. The communication throughout was outstanding. All of the staff are professional, organised and efficient. Special mention to Suzy, who is absolutely lovely and really made our day so special. All of our guests commented on what a perfect venue it was and everything from start to finish was everything we dreamed of.

We first came across the beautiful Blackwell Grange on social media and booked into their next open day. We had been to previous wedding venues but when we arrived at Blackwell Grange and were shown around by the lovely Suzy, we just knew it was the "one" ❤️
All the members of staff including the owners were so kind, caring and supportive all throughout our wedding planning we really cannot thank them enough! With a special thank you to Suzy who really was there from the very start to being our co-ordinator on our wedding day, you always went above and beyond!
All of our guests complimented the beautiful venue/ accommodation and the incredible food and service you provided!
Getting married at Blackwell Grange will always be a privilege of ours ❤️ So thank you once again to all of the team and it goes without saying that we both highly recommend the beautiful Blackwell Grange to any future brides and grooms! X

Blackwell Grange was the perfect venue for our wedding and truly exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we first visited, we knew it was special. We were looking for a rustic venue that could hold everything in one place, and Blackwell Grange had it all.

The Thatch Barn was absolutely stunning, creating a warm and intimate atmosphere, and the smell of the open fire added an unforgettable touch to the experience. The Potting Shed was a dream for the bridal party to get ready; a comfortable, stylish space that made the morning so enjoyable and stress-free.

The venue’s recommended suppliers were spot on. After doing our own extensive research, we ended up choosing their recommended band, hair and makeup artist, and photographer; all of whom were incredible. It was so reassuring to have a curated list of trusted vendors to work with.

While the catering is in-house and non-negotiable, the team went above and beyond to accommodate all dietary requirements, and the food was exceptional. Portion sizes, which were initially a concern of ours, were generous, and the quality was top-notch. Friends and family couldn’t stop raving about the meals, with many saying it was the best wedding food they’d ever had.

And the pizzas? Unforgettable. They were served in the evening as a delightful twist on traditional canapés (though far from canapé-sized!) and were truly the best we’ve ever had. They even catered to our request of a pesto-based chicken pizza, which I can highly recommend! The staff’s service was impeccable throughout the day, from ensuring all guests were well-catered to, to bringing pizzas around the party so no one missed out.

The Snug was a wonderful place for the grooms’ party in the morning and afterwards, a retreat for guests needing a break, especially for our family members with disabilities. It offered a quiet escape with teas and coffees available, yet still had a window to the main party so guests could feel connected to the festivities.

A couple of practical considerations: there is a strict time limit, with music and the bar ending at 11pm, and guests not staying on-site needing to leave by 11:30pm. Additionally, the venue has a decibel limit due to its rural location, so it’s something to keep in mind when planning your music. That said, none of this took away from our experience; we truly had the best day ever.

A massive shout out to Suzy and her team who, when given any query or issues, dealt with it so quickly and professionally, that we needn't have ever worried.

We can’t recommend Blackwell Grange enough. It’s a refined, charming venue that delivers on every level, with stunning spaces, incredible food, and a fantastic team that ensures your day is unforgettable.

From the first time we saw Blackwell Grange we fell in love with the venue. From our initial visit through to our wedding day the team were fabulous and easy to talk to. Would highly recommend!❤️

Food lived up to its reputation - it was very tasty, nicely presented and good sized portions. Staff were attentive, professional and provided excellent service.

Driving up to Blackwell (which was a venue recommended by a friend and a last minute viewing), I was simply blown away. I remember leaving after and turning to my future husband with tears in my eyes as I just knew that this was where we were supposed to get married.

The wedding barn is just simply beautiful and needs no extra 'razzmatazz' as the fire is a standout feature.
The Reception barn is light, airy and bright with tonnes of space including a lounge area upstairs.

We got ready at the venue in the potting shed which had been kitted out with make up lights to support our make up artists on the day.

The venue were supportive in allowing us to open a room early for our young child and the babysitter.

A few things to note:
- The venue do have their own preferred entertainment suppliers and we had to pay extra for our band to sound check as there are strict noise rules.
- Breakfast in the morning is continental so if you are requiring a cooked breakfast to ease your hangovers, you may need to stop off somewhere on the way home.

We had our incredible day in November 2023. Blackwell Grange is a simply stunning venue, the details and the care taken to design the venue and the accommodation is amazing.

The planning stages with the Blackwell Grange team was thoroughly enjoyable and we were put at ease every step of the way. The team are so helpful, friendly and are experts at what they do.

On the day so many of our guests commented on the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. The quality of the food and drinks was absolutely amazing & really added to the day.

A very very special thank you to Suzy, Suzy was amazing, and helped me out personally so much, hanging up my dress with me and getting everything sorted, she really went above and beyond.

We would recommend this venue to everyone!

We got married here at the end of October and had the best day! The venue is beautiful and the staff are so helpful and made everything so easy. They were on hand at every step of the process, from booking right through to picking up our decorations the day after the wedding. They were always happy to answer questions (and I had a lot) and do whatever they can to make your special day go smoothly. They even let me arrive in a tractor!
We cannot recommend this venue highly enough, very professional and very helpful. Plus the food is amazing!
Thank you to all the Blackwell Grange staff!

From a brides perspective. I fell in love with this venue from my first arrival so much that we cancelled all other venue viewing because it seemed perfect. Until full payment was recieved. My advice is READ YOUR T&C’S. On walkabout we were discussing how stunning the venue would be in a drone wedding video up the pretty entrance , even the GM agreed ! However we were later told drones prohibited? We was told that our tasting meal was included- to later be sent an invoice and told to read our T&C’s.
When booking the bridal suit and accomadation informed was from 10- 10the following morning , to then be told 2 days prior to our big day guests couldn’t check in till 2.30! So they expect you to spend ££ on your wedding and instead of your guest enjoying drinks reception/canapés your guest are expected to check in there rooms? Furthermore when I myself the bride when to the bridal suite to top up my lippy for the eve, I found the door was locked. I was told by my bridesmaid the GM was throwing my belongings into my bag with no respect to clear the room out , yet I supposedly had the room till 10 the next morning stil?
A few words and experiences about management at Blackwell Harriet and carol to share names that our guests experienced … rude , abrupt, and disrespectful

My groomsmen and son was rudely spoken to following the meal taking a while to be served, my godson asked his dad if he could have his burger outside , as his sensitive to noise so wanted quiet time whilst eating his dinner( his dad even wrapped it in a napkin so know crockery was taken outdoors) and was firmly asked and told what they were doing outdoors with food and return to the table , yet only a few hours prior there was canapés being served outside - how do you explain that to a 6 year old.

Guests that wernt wine drinkers were refused pints or drinks at bar till after meal finished

My husbands drink was sniffed prior to him walking down the isle accusing of alcohol in there. I mean what venue doesn’t serve a little bevvy for Dutch courage let alone only serve them coke and then get it sniffed???

My grandad suffers from Parkinson’s so was only able to attend for the ceremony , after my father was setting up his sat nav as he was unable to with Shakey hands and Harriet abruptly and rudely raised her voice at my dad telling him to get in the main hall and what was he doing outside , my dad politely explained he’ll be 30 seconds but no Harriet was truely dispectful . This wasn’t the first time as few weeks prior my grandad was doing a test drive ( god love a old driver having to know there ways ) and was told to get off the private property … I mean seriously ?

One guest is coeliac and politely asked where she can locate her gluten free pizza to firmly and abruptly be told it’s being cooked separate and will get it when it’s ready ?!!!

We had giant Jenga on the patio , which was out all day , when a guest packed it up in the bag and went to get the car key to put it in the car around 6pm before evening guest arrived so it wasn’t in the way , Harriet confiscated it and put it in storage accusing of health and safety - yet was out all afternoon and deceived it was only a safety issue when it was being out away for the day

DAMAGE DEPOSIT! Please please please to cover and protect yourself take photos of the room when you leave so you can’t be accused of any damage as I hate to say one of our respectful guest we’re accused with the most outrageous accusation. Yet because they never predicted such audacity we were fined and deducted from our damaged deposit because it’s our word v theirs so please cover yourself if staying

The venue is stunning to look at. The food was incredible so a shout out to the catering team is a must ! But for an award winning venue with a staff that are meant to make your day stress free and memorable - it couldn’t be any further from what I received. Would I recommend NO , it breaks my heart to say after our experience it tainted what should have been our perfect day because of BG managers. I wish I booked another venue
