Our overall experience has been very enjoyable and we felt that you have been very easy to communicate with and direct which has made things straight forward and easy to understand. Everything on the day went to plan how we wanted it to and I would like to make special mention to Nelson who went out his way on multiple occasions throughout the day to make sure Rosie and I were looked after well and having a good time - his customer service on our wedding day was excellent so please share our thanks to him for his support.The food is out of this world Venue Service By Georgina Tomlinson & Duncan Whitehead, on 24 Apr 2019Date of Wedding - 29 Mar 2019 We had our wedding at Grittleton House at the end of March and couldn't have had a more perfect day.

Couldn't fault anything from the lovely Emma, the fantastic waiting staff and the amazing breakfast the next morning. XxWhole day was perfection Venue Service By Joanne Cowley, on 04 Dec 2018Date of Wedding - 22 Nov 2018 We celebrated our friends wedding at this wonderful venue on 22nd September, the house was beautifully stunning and the whole day was perfection. The staff were very helpful, even offering to take a guest to her hotel when her taxi was late! I can certainly recommend the Gin Club which we certainly made use of!! We also stayed for 2 nights in the Stables accommodation which was comfortable with a very much needed delicious breakfast in the morning. Anyone looking for a stunning, picturesque location for their wedding please take a look, probably one of the nicest venues we’ve had the pleasure of attending. Martin & Lucy, your pictures will be stunning and can’t wait to see themWould recommend to anybody Venue Service By Tony Carter, on 04 Dec 2018Date of Wedding - 17 Nov 2018 Firstly would like to thank Emma, the Shipp family and staff for an amazing day. From the moment you walk through the door you are met with a warm welcome and a stunning house. Everything that is supposed to be stressful about organising a wedding was made easy so when it came to the day it was lovely. We were able to have the wedding ceremony at the venue which was wonderful and makes it easy for guests as there was no traveling involved. The wedding breakfast was absolutely amazing all hot and we'll cooked. The venue itself is so nicely decorated that we felt we didn't need to do alot of wedding decorations and being the wedding was near Christmas we were fortunate enough to have Christmas decorations aswell which are very tastefully done. We stayed the night of our wedding at the Stables which is a short walk across the grounds to where the Rooms are situated. The rooms were clean, warm and comfortable and the breakfast the next day was lovely. All of our guests commented to us about how lovely the venue was and how nice staff and food were amazing. Would recommend to anybody.Highly Recommended Venue Service By Arun Barnard Weston & Araron Readings, on 07 Nov 2018Date of Wedding - 28 Sep 2018 We could not recommend Grittleton House more highly as a wedding venue. The house itself is just breathtaking and from start to finish the staff were a delight to deal with. The packages are excellent value for money, and having their simply brilliant coordinator Emma by my side during the planning process and the day itself definitely took away a huge amount of the stress and pressure that I had expected to feel. She was extremely efficient throughout (even when on annual leave) and went above and beyond to answer every little question I had. No other venue we saw compared, and our day was perfect.The gift that keeps on giving Venue Service By Lucy Tery, on 04 Dec 2018Date of Wedding - 22 Sep 2018 We got married at Grittleton House this September. We happened to stumble upon it on our way back from viewing a different venue. The drive up to the House is absolutely stunning and the House truly is the gift that keeps on giving. We completely fell in love with the rustic and perfectly imperfect feel of the house. Emma was an absolute delight to work with and she really let us take the lead and helped where we needed it. No question or request seemed problematic and Emma always replied quickly. The staff did an amazing job of decorating the room for us and we couldn’t fault them on the day. The day went to plan, everyone ensuring things ran smoothly so myself and the hubby could mingle with our guests. I felt completely relaxed and at ease knowing that the staff had everything under control. The food seemed to go down really well. Nelson did a great job as toast master. Perfect setting for pictures both inside and within the grounds. Our guests had a great stay in the Stables and enjoyed their much needed fry up the next morning! Thank you so much for hosting our wedding day, we have special memories to treasure forever.Special Memories to Treasure Forever Venue Service By Lucy Ashby & Martin Terry, on 07 Nov 2018Date of Wedding - 22 Sep 2018 We got married at Grittleton House this September.
