Estella G. Sent on 26/07/2024Lovely Wedding Reception Venue
After my husband and I got married in our village church we headed over to Shotton Grange for our wedding reception. It was the most lovely day! We had around 50 day guests and a few extra evening guests.
Having private access to the whole venue was perfect and was one of the major advantages and reasons we chose Shotton Grange - it meant that everyone on-site was there for only our wedding and it allowed us to avoid random strangers and/or guests from other weddings accidentally gatecrashing.
We also liked that there was a good menu selection for both the wedding breakfast meal and also the evening food. We enjoyed attending the menu food tasting evening, during the planning process, and we liked the fact we got to pick 3 options per course from the menu so we could then offer a choice for our guests.
The grounds were very pretty. Initially we were a little concerned about the road noise from the motorway as it was quite loud when we visited for an open day but on the actual wedding day we didn’t really think about it and once the evening music started it masked it anyways.
Having the extra side rooms like the Snug, the Lounge and Drawing room in the Manor House, in addition to the Coach House, was very useful! The layout of the venue allowed us to set up various evening entertainment like a casino table and photobooth in the Manor House whilst the live music and DJ were in the Coach House!
The venue has decent sized bathrooms - particularly useful when the bride has a large skirt and needs hers bridesmaids’ assistance haha.
There is a reasonably sized, private (and free) car park on-site which was very useful for our wedding guests.
Shotton Grange has several bedrooms and this allowed the option for our guests to book onsite accommodation if they wished to do so. My bridesmaids and a few other wedding guests stayed onsite the night of the wedding and enjoyed breakfast the morning after.
We appreciated that Shotton offers optional add-ons and extras. We decided to have a few canapés during the drinks receptions - they were tasty and did the trick to tide us and our guests over before the wedding breakfast.
As someone who doesn’t really drink alcohol and we had a few of guests who don’t drink alcohol, Shotton has a good range of non-alcohol alternatives, which I particularly was impressed with.
The venue has a good drinks menu and has 2 bars which was good for guests getting served. Whilst the venue does not offer corkage, there were various drinks packages available- we opted for one of these and our guests really enjoyed the extra beer and Prosecco! We also added on a cheese and meat board, patio heaters, fire pit tables and fire pit - which were great during the evening reception!
The events team were very friendly, professional and brilliant to work with throughout the planning process and on the day of. They answered all our questions and were quick with their email response times! They were very accommodating when trying to arrange our meeting dates as well as allowed us to set up and decorate the Coach House the day before the wedding (since there were no other events scheduled for that day). In addition, the contract and planning documents that we were sent, which were discussed in the meetings, were very thorough and helpful during the planning process.
Amongst our wedding guests, there were several allergies/dietary restrictions. The events team and kitchen took these seriously and handled, managed and communicated these well with us.
We also appreciated that in the brochure everything was itemised, prices were all clear and upfront and there were no hidden costs.
Overall, we are very pleased we chose Shotton Grange for our wedding reception venue!

Best day ever
What a day, the location is superb,beautiful setting. Gardens are lovely. We had done away with any wedding day formalities apart from the actual ceremony,which was conducted outside in the garden. We wanted to create a summer party vibe & we achieved that. The canapés were outstanding, the pizza & hog roast both brilliant,so many guests complimented us on the food choices. The whole place was filled with fun, laughter & love,we couldn’t of asked for more… Brilliant day… -

Amazing in every way
We had our day at shotton grange on 24th May and we could not have asked for a more perfect day, all thanks to the amazing Emma and Alison!!
Emma was so helpful during the planning process, she was quick to respond to any questions we had and left no detail out. Alison was our master of ceremonies for the day and she was amazing! So professional yet friendly, made everyone feel at ease and couldn’t do enough for us on the day. My sister even got stung by a bee and Alison was so helpful in sorting her out.
The venue is absolutely beautiful and all of our guests were beaming and telling us how stunning it was, even rain couldn’t dampen our day!!
The food is DELICIOUS by the way😉
We went with AMV live DJ recommended by the venue and he was amazing, had everyone up dancing all night
We can’t thank the team at Shotton Grange enough for helping us plan the perfect wedding and then making it a reality🤍🤍🤍 -

We held our wedding reception at Shotton Grange in April and had the most perfect day. Communication was excellent, the staff were so responsive to emails and the whole process was seamless from day one. Nothing was too much trouble and the advice we received was so helpful in planning our day. A big thank you to Emma who guided us through the process and was so lovely. The day itself was so special, and we must mention Roseann who greeted us from our ceremony and was wonderful throughout the day making sure everything went perfectly. All of the staff were excellent, and so friendly - they make the venue even more special. Our food was delicious, and our guests with food allergies were catered for brilliantly. The grounds are stunning and the house itself is beautiful, our guests loved being able to stay overnight and enjoy breakfast the next day.
We are so pleased we picked Shotton Grange and can’t recommend the venue enough. Thank you so much!

The day we would most love to relive ❤️
From initially walking into the Shotton Grange bubble to leaving as Mr & Mrs the entire journey was faultless. We could not have asked for more from the entire team or venue and would recommend anyone starting out on their wedding adventure to have Shotton Grange at the top of their list! -

Shotton Grange is the most beautiful, perfect, private and rustic wedding venue, and anybody would be lucky to get married there! We certainly feel very lucky that we chose this wonderful venue.
We had the most wonderful wedding day! It was literally perfect from start to finish, and there's not a single thing we would change about it. All of the team at Shotton are just wonderful. They couldn't do enough for us, from us booking our wedding in 2021 to the wedding day itself - nothing was too much trouble. This made everything run so seamlessly on the day. We are incredibly grateful for this.
That original show around with Emma in 2021 feels like such a distant memory now. We are delighted that we chose to get married at Shotton and would recommend it so highly to everybody.
We also received a beautiful card in our wedding postbox on the day from the Shotton team. It's stunning and was so very kind of them and a lovely touch! -

We got married at Shotton Grange in January 2024. From the go the whole team were absolutely amazing in every way. Nothing was a bother in the run up, everything was explained in great detail and our meetings scheduled way in advance. They were incredibly responsive via e-mail and phone whenever we had any questions or changes we wished to make.
On the day before the team were on hand to help with anything we needed and ensured us and our guests had a comfortable nights stay in anticipation of the big day.
The day itself ran so smoothly and seamlessly. We had quite a few allergies and intolerances amongst our guests and the kitchen could not have been more accommodating. The canapes, wedding breakfast and evening food were all delicious and so well presented. All of the team working on the day were fantastic and so helpful.
Stunning venue, amazing staff. We had the most amazing day and will remember it forever! -
