    Wonderful wedding, amazing venue

    The Blackfriars team made sure we had a fantastic day, and it totally was. Fond happy memories made complete by a team that are cool, professional and enthusiastic.

    Happiest day of our lives

    Got married here in July of 2025. The venue was stunning, the staff were hugely helpful and supportive every step of the way, and most certainly gave us the best day of our lives.

    Beautiful wedding venue, brilliant staff

    Our experience at Blackfriars Wedding Venue was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we stepped foot onto the historic grounds, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. What truly stood out was their accommodating nature they went above and beyond to ensure our beautiful dog could be part of the ceremony.

    The venue itself exudes timeless beauty and historical significance, providing a stunning backdrop for our special day. The blend of elegance and history added an enchanting atmosphere that made our wedding truly unforgettable.

    Moreover, the staff at Blackfriars went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was executed flawlessly. They seamlessly coordinated with our suppliers, making the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. Their commitment to excellence was evident in every aspect of their service.

    Blackfriars Wedding Venue exceeded our expectations in every way possible. If you're looking for a venue that combines charm, history, and excellent service, look no further. Our heartfelt thanks to the team for making our wedding day a dream come true.

    The most wonderful venue

    We were completely delighted with our experience at Blackfriars. Matthew and the rest of the team could not have been more helpful, and made sure our whole day ran smoothly. They made several useful suggestions, were very easy to get in contact with whenever we had questions, and were transparent about the process, the costs and anything else we needed to know.

    Mrs Lucy Fry

    We had the best wedding at Blackfriars in October this year. Matt and his team were fantastic and worked tirelessly to ensure our day went to plan! They listened to what we wanted and did not fail to deliver! Personal touches such as allowing our dogs to come to the reception, turning on thousands of fairy lights and battery operated candles to make our look come to life and assembling our huge cheese/pork pie cake for us! Everyone was blown away by the naturally stunning North range and the history within the priory. The location was fantastic for our guests as most were local! Would 100% recommend.
    We cannot thank you enough 🖤🖤

    We really couldn't have asked for a better day

    We can’t thank Sue and the team at Blackfriars enough, we had the most amazing wedding day in September. The venue is so beautiful and we really couldn’t have asked for a better day. Everything in the run up and right throughout the day went so smoothly and Sue was always around to answer any questions. We had catering from Cater Cater who were also just as amazing! Thank you!

    Guests commented on how impressive it was

    We got married at Blackfriars Priory on 28/10/2023. We can't thank Hebe and the Blackfriars team enough for all of their help and support, both on the day itself and in the months leading up to our big day. The day ran so smoothly, all the logistics were taken care of without us having to worry. We had a bagpiper in the morning and a Ceilidh in the evening which were so much fun, and again easily accommodated by the team.
    The venue itself is stunning and lots of our guests commented on how impressive it was. Obviously as a large and very old building it can get chilly in the Autumn/Winter, so we did prep our guests to bring layers!
    One perk for us was being able to set up the venue the day before. Seeing it take shape and not being rushed at all meant we could really enjoy the build up to the big day :)
    Thanks again Blackfriars team!
