A Truly Unforgettable Day 🤍
A special mention to our coordinator Evie, who without the wedding would have gone into disarray. She was super organised and nothing was ever too much trouble, even with my millions of questions she had answers and solutions to them all.
We definitely need to give a special mention to the kitchen. My word it was mouth watering! The portions were perfect, the flavour immaculate and the presentation was gorgeous. All of our guests commented on the food and were all so impressed, as were we!
You can rest easy knowing the staff will go out of their way to make your day so special. The venue is stunning and the view is unreal.
Grand Villa Heights is a beautiful place to get married and an unforgettable experience with the team in place. You won’t be disappointed!
Thank you again to all the Grand Villa Team
Love Mr & Mrs Wheldon-Garbutt 🤍🩵
Everything we dreamed of and more
The venue itself was incredible and all of our guests absolutely loved it, everyone could not believe how amazing the view was. The staff couldn’t have been more attentive throughout the day and made sure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to just enjoy every moment.
Our wedding coordinator changed to Lizzie in the run up to the wedding, but the transition was seamless. From the start, she made us feel so welcome and reassured. Communication was brilliant, she was always quick to respond to any questions we had, and we felt completely looked after in the lead-up to the day and throughout the wedding itself.
The only small disappointment was that we had been told the bedrooms would be fully renovated by the time of our wedding, and unfortunately some were still a little dated. That said, it really was the only negative in what was otherwise an amazing experience.
We had the most incredible wedding day and genuinely couldn’t have asked for more from the venue or the team. Seeing how much all of our guests loved Grand Villa Heights too made it even more special. We would absolutely recommend it to anyone considering getting married here, it really was everything we hoped it would be and more.
August 2026 Grand Villa Heights
The staff were brilliant. From planning right way through to the day, nothing was too much trouble. We had a dog friendly, vegan friendly wedding day and everything we needed was catered for and arranged. Really flexible options for food, drinks packages and extras.
I would definitely recommend booking your wedding at Grand Villa Heights. Our guests haven’t stopped talking about it!
Best weekend of our lives
Special shout out to staff Lizzie and Peter. We are ready to do it all over again and it’s only been 9 days since we got married.
Just to note that prior to the wedding other staff were very difficult to get hold of, but once Lizzie took over as wedding coordinator then she always got back to us straight away. Also some of the bedrooms that haven’t been renovated yet are very dated. The bar also didn’t reopen for hotel guests after the wedding ended at midnight, as they said they didn’t have the staff.
The Kings wedding
From the minute we walked in to the venue we fell in love.
The planning process was explained fully and very easily communicated and Lizzie was very attentive and quick to always help and respond.
Going through the final details with Lizzie was a breeze as she helped advise and give ideas.
The whole team of staff at grand villa heights were truly exceptional and we would like to thank you all for making our day so special.
Stunning venue

You will be in such great hands and well looked after.
We want to do it all over again 🤣, we’ll certainly be back for our anniversaries.

Amazing Venue, Dramatic view, wonderful staff, stunning food
Thank you for providing a first class day!
The guests had an absolute ball and I didn’t want the day to end.
Special mention to Evie who remained calm during my moments of panic and nothing was too much trouble. You really looked after us - thank you!
Ben was also stand out on the day - thank you for your hard work making sure guests were looked after. We hope to see you both again in the future. Best wishes, Carrie and Chris x
Absolutely amazing 🩷
On the day itself, Andy, our wedding manager was absolutely outstanding. From the evening before our wedding right through until the end of the day nothing was ever too much trouble. He kept everything running seamlessly, made sure we always knew what was happening next and allowed us to completely relax and enjoy the day. He truly when above and beyond and we can’t thank him enough.
Andrew, our master of ceremonies was also fantastic. He kept our guests informed and on track throughout the day, ensuring everything flowed perfectly with a friendly and professional approach.
The venue itself is simply breathtaking the views are incredible and the decor throughout the hotel created the most beautiful setting for a wedding. We couldnt have asked for a more perfect back drop for our special day.
During the early stages of planning we did have a few issues regarding room allocations and pricing. However these were dealt with quickly, professionally and smoothly. And once resolved everything else was faultless.
Thank you to everyone at grand villa heights for making our wedding so special. It truly was the best day of our lives, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the venue to any couple looking for an unforgettable wedding experience.
Best day ever!
Grand Villa Heights is simply something else. We had the best day of our lives, and every single one of our guests has told us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and the best venue they’ve ever experienced. Everyone was absolutely blown away, and so many people have said that no other venue compares.
From the moment we booked, the whole team was incredible. Evie was amazing throughout the planning process, helping us create the perfect day and always being there to answer any questions. The handover to John, our Wedding Manager, the night before was seamless, and from that moment on we knew we were in the best hands.
John, Steve our Master of Ceremonies, and every single member of staff worked tirelessly to make sure everything ran perfectly. We were genuinely treated like royalty from start to finish.
On the morning of the wedding, my now husband was feeling stressed and nervous (I had absolutely no idea while I was getting ready upstairs!), but he hasn’t stopped talking about how incredible John was. He went above and beyond to keep him calm and make sure everything was taken care of. Knowing someone was looking after him meant so much.
Steve was absolutely fantastic too, keeping everyone entertained, making sure guests knew where they needed to be, and ensuring the whole day flowed effortlessly.
What really stood out were all the little touches. We were served our food and drinks first during the wedding breakfast, we received our canapés and drinks first during the reception, John arranged drinks to be brought to my bridal suite while I was getting ready, and after the ceremony we were given five precious minutes alone together before the confetti shot. Those few quiet moments are memories we’ll treasure forever.
Even one of the newer bar staff members kindly helped carry my dress so I could have more photographs without it getting dirty. He told me how much he already loved working there, and it really reflected the incredible atmosphere the whole team creates.
The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking, but it’s the people who truly make it special. Their attention to detail, professionalism, warmth and genuine care made our wedding day even better than we could ever have imagined.
From the very first time we visited Grand Villa Heights, we knew there wasn’t going to be another venue for us. If you’re even slightly considering getting married here… just do it. You won’t regret it. It will be the best decision you make. 🤍
Lovely hotel and great day overall
on hand to sort things out, Also a big thank you to Donna at Apartment group head office who helped sort a few things out for us.
We stayed over the night before the final meeting with Evie, once the plans were finalised we were a lot happy.
The day before the wedding we stayed over, the bride stayed in the night before villa while groom stayed in the main hotel. The bride had charcuterie boards in the villa and groom had a meal in the restaurant in a private part of the restaurant.
The final meeting was complete and the day started. Stephen the master of ceremonies made sure the day run on time and no hiccups. Stephen was friendly and approachable and did such an amazing job.
Andy is another name to thank he did great with the whole day, keeping the bride calm, from the amazing food service.
Another thank you to all the bar staff, kitchen staff and waiter staff who did an amazing job with great food, great drinks and very friendly on the day.
The honeymoon suite is beautiful, we didn’t spend much time in there but the bed was comfy the bathroom is beautiful.
Overall if you are looking for a venue with amazing views, staff who friendly and make your day that little special then book Grand Villa Heights. You will not be disappointed. This place will hold special memories forever and we will be coming back for special times
Thank you to everyone at Grand Villa Heights for making our special day more special
