    The most incredible day!

    We had our wedding here at the start of June, everything was perfect! It’s such a beautiful venue, the food and drinks were amazing. We also stayed at the onsite accommodation and that was just incredible as well. A special thanks to Stuart for all his time and effort, not just on the day but the planning beforehand, nothing was ever too much trouble! We wouldn't of got through the day without you!! 🤍

    Beautiful!

    From the moment we first visited until the last dance on our wedding day, everything was absolutely perfect. The venue is stunning, with beautiful surroundings that made the perfect backdrop for our photos, and every detail was so well looked after.

    The staff were incredible friendly, professional, and always happy to help, making the whole day feel effortless and stress-free. They went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment with our family and friends.

    The food was fantastic, and so many of our guests commented on how delicious the meal was and how wonderful the atmosphere felt throughout the day.

    We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special occasion. Thank you for giving us memories that will last a lifetime. We would wholeheartedly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a beautiful setting and an exceptional team to make their wedding day truly unforgettable.

    Beautiful venue, amazing staff, the perfect day.

    We recently had our wedding at Blackwell Grange and honestly could not have asked for a more perfect venue. From the moment we first enquired, Stuart, Suzy, Hannah and Eve were absolutely fantastic. They were so welcoming, helpful and professional throughout the entire process, making everything feel stress-free and well organised from start to finish.

    We had around 65 guests attending and the venue was the perfect size, intimate, beautiful and incredibly well run. The team went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of, allowing us to relax and truly enjoy our special day with our family and friends.

    The setting itself is stunning and created such an amazing atmosphere for our wedding. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and how smoothly everything ran. The food, service and attention to detail were all exceptional.

    A huge thank you again to Stuart, Suzy, Hannah and Eve for making our wedding day so memorable. We would highly recommend Blackwell Grange to any couple looking for a beautiful wedding venue with an outstanding team behind it.

    Truly 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

    Truly unforgettable

    The level of care and attention not only on the day, but also leading up to it, from planning the catering, order of the day, etc., was incredible. Both the 1604 and management teams were helpful, responsive and supportive, as well as lovely and empathetic on a personal level. Thank you all for making our wedding day so memorable and easy to plan!

    Beautiful 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:

    Hi Elodie, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear that your wedding day at Blackwell Grange was everything you dreamed of and more. Suzy and the team will be pleased to know their warmth and attention to detail helped make your day so special. We’re so glad the gorgeous Cotswold countryside and blooming gardens were the perfect backdrop for your celebration. We’re delighted to hear the food hit the mark too, it’s always wonderful when everyone’s taste buds are as happy as the couple! It was an honour to be a part of your special day. Best wishes, The Blackwell Grange Team

    Made 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:
