Amy Sent on 18/01/2026Truly magical day
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.Blackwell Grange's reply:
Hi Amy, Thank you so much for such a wonderful review. We’re delighted that Blackwell Grange felt so special to you and that your day was everything you hoped for. Suzy will be thrilled to hear your kind words, and we’re so pleased she was able to support you so closely, especially while planning from overseas. It means a great deal to know the food, the team and the setting all helped create such a magical experience. Thank you for the recommendation, and we wish you every happiness together. Best wishes, the Blackwell Grange team -

Elodie Sent on 13/06/2025Beautiful countryside wedding venue!
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.Blackwell Grange's reply:

Hannah Sent on 01/05/2025Made are special day even better!
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!Blackwell Grange's reply:
Hi Hannah, hank you so much for your incredibly kind words! We're absolutely delighted to hear that your wedding day was everything you'd hoped for and more. It was a pleasure to be part of such a special occasion, and we're so glad that our team, especially Stuart, Suzy and Didi, helped make it feel relaxed and memorable from start to finish.
We're thrilled you enjoyed your stay the night before – we agree, it really does set the tone for a calm and joyful wedding morning. And we're so pleased you loved the food, the rooms, and all the little details we put into making your day unique. Best wishes for the future, The Blackwell Grange Team -

DREAM Wedding Venue!
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.Blackwell Grange's reply:

Rhys Sent on 24/12/2024Beautiful Rustic Venue, with everything in one place
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.Blackwell Grange's reply:
Hi Rhys, Thank you so much for your kind words and detailed review! We are thrilled that Blackwell Grange exceeded your expectations and helped create such a special day. It’s wonderful to hear how much you loved The Thatch Barn and The Potting Shed, and that the venue's atmosphere contributed to such a memorable experience. We're especially pleased that our recommended suppliers, including your photographer, helped make your day. Best wishes, the Blackwell Grange team -
