Robert Sent on 22/12/2025Grittleton House is the perfect venue for a Summer Wedding: really organised staff, lots of space and amazing restored country house in secluded groun
What an amazing wedding venue! Easy for guests to reach and near to Bath, Bristol and London but it still feels secluded - this gothic manor sits in large beautiful grounds.
As you wander inside your eyes can't help but be drawn upward t the beautiful rococo plastered gothic ceilings : gold and yellow and blue and gold with lots of stone arches and walkways( I could easily have got lost!) . The drawing room where brides get ready could be straight out of a scene from Bridgerton with chandeliers, large windows, and mirrors to make it feel airy and ornate painted plaster ceilings. All very decadent - a perfect place for even the largest of bridal parties to get ready. Grittleton has an extremely cool cocktail bar with waiters who will make you up pretty much whatever you would like with flair and a smile in the evening. This bar and the library next to it are the perfect places for the groom and ushers to meet for a drink before the ceremony. I took the photographs at Suse and Rob's Summer Wedding and the three story central hall with deep blue walls and a sweeping iron staircase descending from the high balconies made the perfect back drop for photos of bride and bridesmaids as they descended to the ceremony in a sunny flower festooned Orangery. The Orangery like all of the spaces in Grittleton has plenty of capacity if you have lots of guests. I believe there is capacity for 200 in the ceremony, dining and evening with 30 bedrooms for guests. Suse and Rob's wedding had around 120 guests and this filled the place very nicely, without it feeling overfull or too empty. Its always important to match the size of your venue to the number of guests! If you value great photographs this is a stunning venue as it has so much variety in terms of locations, an amazing ceremony exit for confetti with the house behind, a long drive for some portraits with the stone architecture glowing in a warm sunset as well as shaded gardens for group photos on sunny days. I ate a very lovely three course meal and loved the veggie food :simple but very tasty heritage tomato, burrata and aubergine salad, followed by a creamy lemon and verbena risotto, with sticky toffee pudding which I sadly mostly missed due to photographing the speeches! I was impressed by the staff who I met : Emma , the wedding co-ordinator was super efficient and very kindly met me prior to the wedding so I could recce for locations for group photos/in case of rain, she also ensured that everything ran seamlessly to time throughout the day - this always helps photographers and vendors and also means guests arriving at different times know what's happening at what time so nobody misses key parts of the day - a very important but often overlooked element! If you are after a large, extremely beautiful building which is also in great condition ( after recent refurbishment) with a day that runs like clockwork and very nice food indeed then I'd recommend you have a look round Grittleton! -

We were married at Grittleton House on 23rd December 2024 and it was AMAZING. But breaking that down a little - Emma is extremely efficient, full of good ideas and always gets things done. Along with Nelson's support, and the rest of the team, our day ran like clockwork. We honestly didn't have to worry or think about a single thing on the day, and the few thoughts we did have, were already in hand. The House suited us perfectly, as we wanted one roof to get married under, have our wedding breakfast and then party, and what a roof that was! Grittleton has a fantastic interior/decor and literally every guest complimented the venue and the fabulous food that went with it. We cannot speak highly enough of Emma, Nelson, the team or indeed the House.
If Grittleton House is on your shortlist, book it now! You won't be disappointed.Grittleton House's reply:
