Perfect magical day

Where to even start, the venue is pristine, every thing is kept up perfectly, our day has truly been our dream wedding, a big contribution was our on the day staff. Tim - day organiser, couldn’t ask for anyone better, he is just an angel and made us feel like kings and queens. Such a beautiful soul before I walked down the aisle he put me at such ease and the bar staff I am so sorry I couldn’t remember their bur blonde hair and dark hair they were such a vibeeee we loved you so much and you are the reason our day went so perfectly. Couldn’t thank you enough xx

Amazing venue, food and people!

Grangefields is an absolutely beautiful venue, the food is delicious (plus you get plenty of it) and the friendly staff go above and beyond to make sure they give you the day you’ve always wished for. The online portal makes the planning process so straightforward. Along with this you have an online chat which makes it really easy to send any questions you have day or night. The staff are always quick to respond and are very accommodating. We cannot recommend Grangefields enough, they gave us the wedding we had dreamed of.

Exceeded all expectations

Our wedding day with Grangefields was absolutely perfect, we could not be any happier with how the day went - everything was incredible, from the food and drink, to the service, the support from the day and night managers, the gorgeousness of the venue..everything!
We have had so many glowing reviews of the day from our guests, so many people said it was the best wedding food they had ever eaten, incredible service from staff and the venue itself (particularly the ceremony room!) blew everyone away.
I can’t thank the Grangefields team enough, particularly Jess, Lucy and Tim, for all their help in the planning process, answering all our questions very promptly along the way and giving us the best day of our lives, we want to do it all again!! Can’t wait to get all our photos and re-live it all.
Thanks so much again, Lotty & Dan xxx

Amazing. Hands down, the best wedding venue

We got married at Grangefields in July 2023 and can quite honestly say it was the best day of our lives. The venue is absolutely stunning, but it’s the amazing team that really make this place so special.

Are you honestly still debating whether or not to get married at Grangefields? Book it already!

If we could give 10 stars we would!

The best day ever! We cannot fault the staff at Grangefields. The first time we looked around they weren't pushy about booking with them. We knew as soon as we arrived this would be our venue, its beautiful. All through the planning process they were contactable through the online portal with any questions we had. The day was prefect. We dropped things off on the morning and they made the rooms look amazing with the décor I had provided. On the day it was the little things for us, a member of staff was assigned to us to make sure we always had drinks and canapes on hand. When we went to have photos I asked Lucy where was and before I knew it she was there with fresh canapes for us to enjoy. The guests were blown away by the venue and the food (especially the roast potato's!) No one will leave hungry. We had pizzas in the evening, some guests had dietary requirements which wasn't a problem as the pizzas are made fresh on site. They boxed up for people to take home with them. Massive thank you to all the staff on our big day. Highly recommend booking a feast night to try their food, you will not be disappointed. If we could give more stars we would! They deserve 10! Special mention to Lucy & Andrea who were the managers for the day. They really did go above and beyond for us on the day we can not thank you enough for making our day so special. Everything ran smoothly thanks to them. See you soon for a feast night. Mr and Mrs Brady

The most perfect wedding venue!

Andrew and I became Mr & Mrs Price at Grangefields on 2nd July 2023. We looked at a lot of venues but this one stood out to us immediately. Not only was the venue beautiful, with the show kitchen and the almost "chapel" vibes in the barn (it was a none-religious ceremony, but we wanted somewhere that felt spiritual), but the staff were warm and welcoming in a way we didnt experience anywhere else. They were in communication with us the whole duration (15 months) and were happy to answer all of our questing, both big and small. On the day, they were attentive and always nearby whenever required, and helped quide us through the day. They were basically providing us with wedding planners, without inflating the price to include this. They are experts in their field. We would recommend Grangefields in a heartbeat and really feel like they took the stress out of the planning process for us.

The feast menu was absolutely to-die-for, with multiple guests telling us it was the best English wedding they had been to, with the best food without doubt. The external grounds were pristine, the lighting was perfect inside and out, creating a lovely ambience throughout the whole day.

A huge thank you to the whole Grangefields team, and a special shout out to Lucy for being our main liaison - she was brilliant!

Indian Wedding

We had the most wonderful wedding day all thanks to Tim and his team at Grangefields. The venue was beautiful, the team was FAB and the wedding was all we wanted it to be! Everything and everyone were so amazingly wonderful- what a dream they are !
Tim was the most amazing wedding planner and accommodated all our needs as we had a very different setup due to the wedding being a traditional Indian wedding.
Everything from the food, the decor, the staff, and the venue was perfect!! The wedding day would not have been what it was without our Grangefeild team and we will be eternally grateful !

Stunning venue and wedding day

We had our wedding here on Sunday 30th June. Tim was magnificent at making sure our day ran as smoothly as possible. Every moment was planned out and we couldn't have asked for more. The day did feel a bit less organized once Tim had to leave and we swapped to the night staff member but she was still very polite and helpful if we needed anything. I think it was down to the experience of Tim and he was so brilliant with us for the main part of the day. The venue is absolutely stunning and we have had so many compliments about the venue and the food especially on the days following on from the wedding. Me and my wife are so happy and pleased that we went with this venue and if we had to do it all again we would do the same.

Fantastic venue with brilliant staff

We cannot speak highly enough about the venue of Grangefields and the team that work there. Tim and the rest of the team ensured the day ran smoothly without a hitch so we could relax and enjoy! Communication between us and the venue before the big day was always quick and easy. The food was amazing and the chef was flexible with our requests. The venue itself is picturesque with several different areas that could be used for guests.
Thanks again to all at Grangefields for making it a day to remember!

Charlotte & Joshua

When we decided to start planning our wedding, Grangefields wasn’t yet finished being built and my gut told me I had to wait to see this venue - I was absolutely right!! Grangefields is the most amazing venue and our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. From the planning, to the build up, the ceremony and everything else throughout our day was just perfect! Holly, Haley and the bar staff were all amazing, our guests kept complimenting how lovely they all were. Thank you again to all of the team at Grangefields for giving us the most incredible Wedding Day xx

Absolutely fantastic

There is nothing to fault at Grangefields who were superb from start to finish. Communication from the start was good and although we were skeptical about the portal communication to start, it worked really well. They were able to accommodate almost all of our asks and slightly off-plan requests. We had a contact on the day who was brilliant at taking all the stress out of everything and looking after us so well. The staff were so experienced and we didn't have a single thing go wrong on the day which was remarkable. I'd strongly recommend them to anyone looking for an all-in venue, we wouldn't change a single thing about their performance
