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:

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:

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 -

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 -

Successful
We had our wedding here at the end of April 2024. The venue is stunning, the rooms are lovely, Deborah was fantastic helping us plan everything leading up to the wedding and Margaret was brilliant on the day too. She made sure that everything went to plan and went above and beyond helping with anything that came up on the day.
The food was delicious and all of our guests commented how good it all tasted. The presentation was great too. We loved the variety that we were able to choose from too. We used the DJ recommend by Blackwell and he was great too.
All in all, I can't recommend Blackwell Grange more. Everything was brilliant and we ars so happy with the choice that we made.Blackwell Grange's reply:
Thank you for your review Victoria, what beautiful images!! It was a pleasure to host your special day -

Alice Sent on 25/01/2024November 2023 Wedding
We had our incredible day in November 2023. Blackwell Grange is a simply stunning venue, the details and the care taken to design the venue and the accommodation is amazing.
The planning stages with the Blackwell Grange team was thoroughly enjoyable and we were put at ease every step of the way. The team are so helpful, friendly and are experts at what they do.
On the day so many of our guests commented on the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. The quality of the food and drinks was absolutely amazing & really added to the day.
A very very special thank you to Suzy, Suzy was amazing, and helped me out personally so much, hanging up my dress with me and getting everything sorted, she really went above and beyond.
We would recommend this venue to everyone! -

Excellent venue and staff
We got married here at the end of October and had the best day! The venue is beautiful and the staff are so helpful and made everything so easy. They were on hand at every step of the process, from booking right through to picking up our decorations the day after the wedding. They were always happy to answer questions (and I had a lot) and do whatever they can to make your special day go smoothly. They even let me arrive in a tractor!
We cannot recommend this venue highly enough, very professional and very helpful. Plus the food is amazing!
Thank you to all the Blackwell Grange staff! -
