Made our wedding day perfect!!

The venue is stunning and the whole wedding day was perfect! We did feel they were quite relaxed about everything coming up to the wedding which made us a bit anxious but in the end it turned out to be just our nerves. They clearly know what they are doing and have done it million times so throw yourselves into their hands and they will give you all you dream of! We used a lot of their decorations, they have a lot of stuff available, they know exactly what you talk about during planning and provide just that. The day itself couldn't have gone better, everything looked beautiful, they were around all the time to make sure everything is running like clock work, they listened to the tiniest things such as making sure we eat canapes before going for photos and ensured it happened. Our master of ceremonies did a lot of research into my Czech traditions and so was able to announce them all and explain their meaning, he was always on time and his voice and command was just perfect. Everyone else, from Adam to kitchen and bar staff couldn't do more for us. We had a beautiful weather day and so postponed few traditions to later, it was not a problem at all with anyone. Truly highly recommend, we couldn't have wished for more! And of course, the venue is absolutely stunning, everyone had such a nice time and we were so happy we chose it for our wedding day, the memories will be unforgettable!! Thank you, Grafton Manor team!!
(We're still waiting for official photos so just sharing some pictures friends took, hopefully it gives a good idea of how stunning it is there!)

A truly spectacular day!

My beautiful wife and I had our wedding here in June last year. Everything was immaculately, and professionally organised with calm good humour.

A truly gorgeous Manor House with a lovely chapel. Delightful gardens with fabulous views.

Champagne reception, with excellent canapés followed by a delicious wedding breakfast in a stunningly dressed marquee.

The rooms are all delightful, very comfortable and quirky!!

We could not thank the management and staff enough. We had a day we will never ever forget.

If you are thinking of Grafton Manor as your wedding venue - don’t hesitate. I’m sure you will be as thrilled as we were.

Exquisite Wedding Venue

My husband and I got married at Grafton Manor in July and it was the most perfect day. In the lead up to the wedding Adam, Mia and the team were such a pleasure to deal with. Nothing was too much trouble and they made sure all of the little details were covered, which meant that the day went smoothly with no hiccups. The chapel at the venue is so romantic and the grounds are absolutely stunning. We had decor by the Wedding House Droitwich who work closely with the venue and everything looked even better than I imagined. All of the rooms are decorated in the most beautiful classical style and the bridal suite made for lovely photos in the morning. Everyone commented on how delicious the food was and how wonderful the staff were on the day. The in-house DJ Owen was amazing and worked with us on a bespoke playlist and we were even able to have fireworks in the evening. Wouldn't change a thing about it and would recommend the venue to anyone looking for a classic, quintessential English wedding with picturesque and romantic surroundings. Elegance. Class. Perfection.

The perfect day

We cannot fault the team at Grafton Manor for their professionalism, care and style on our wedding day. The venue itself is stunning and the experienced staff made our day flow seamlessly. We wanted somewhere which felt exclusive and had lots of history and were absolutely thrilled with Grafton. We didn't think it could be possible to find somewhere which ticked all the boxes within our budget, and yet it exceeded all expectations. Thank you!

Amazing Day

We had such an amazing wedding day. We made sure to visit the venue a few times prior to our wedding, and the team were so good with any queries or requests we had. The day went exactly to plan and the only complaint we would have is that the day went far too quickly (time flies when you're having fun!). Thank you for an amazing day Grafton, from The Wilson's.

Wedding at Grafton

We had a wonderful time at Grafton Manor last Friday, the venue was beautiful and everything was better than we could have hoped for. All our guests commented on how good the food was and how much they enjoyed themselves. They were also happy to accommodate our unusual request of hiring alpacas for the reception!

Great for an Asian wedding but stay on top of them

I got married here in 2017 and fell in love with the grounds and the house immediately. It was an Asian wedding held over two days and the biggest selling point for us was that it was an exclusive hire and we could all stay comfortably on site. The bedrooms were to a good and comfortable standard. The bridal suite was generous and the children were safe to run to their hearts content within the grounds.

Unfortunately, all of the extra details that were promised (and paid for) were not delivered and couldn't be followed up on because John disappeared for the day (without telling me) but overall we had a wonderful wedding and I would still recommend it as a venue provided you write everything down and have a way to keep them accountable. I understand the venue is no longer under the same management so that would also be worth noting.

The most incredible wedding

No words can express how grateful I am for all the staff at Grafton Manor, they are all truly amazing and have never experienced such kindness and thoughtfulness at a hotel/venue before even staying at 5* resorts around the world.

The grounds are beautifully kept with charm and character in every corner, a photographers dream!

Tim the chef served incredible food throughout the day and we received compliments from all our guests (even the picky eaters!)

Helen helped prepare me for the day and answered my silliest questions with a calm and professional manner making everything smoother.

Tyler and Adam are both so attentive and personable knowing exactly what we needed either the day before or on the day before we even knew! Small touches made a huge impact to both ourselves and our guests.

Scott helped keep the day moving and brought a great energy.

We have been to countless weddings over the years without being biased, this was the best! But don't take our word for it, our married guests also said the same!

If you are thinking of booking this place, go for it, you will not regret it! I could never thank the team enough.

Perfect location for a perfect day

From the moment we arrived to the moment we checked out we were treated like VIP’s. The whole team are really professional and worked quietly in the background making sure our day was perfect. The venue is stunning, the Garden Suite ideal for a large bridal party to get ready together and the food is fabulous. As well as beautiful grounds with a lake for stunning photographs we had our civil wedding, in what was the old Chapel, so we still got to walk down the aisle. The Marque was ideal for the wedding breakfast and reception.

Outstanding

If there is any doubt in your mind about booking this venue then I can get rid of that doubt for you right now and tell you I got married there on 31st may 2024 and it was flawless from start to finish from the attention to detail for everything and the food was outstanding. So many of my guests told me it was the best wedding they had been to just because everything ran so perfectly. Honestly you will not regret booking the stunning Grafton manor.
