Our perfect wedding day. ❤️
We planned our wedding in the space of a few months. Paul and Heather were there to help us go through the planning, despite our short timeframe. The budgets were flexible, and Paul took great time to explain anything to us that we were unsure about.
The recommendations for photographers were brilliant, we used Shepherd Photography who met our needs perfectly. We used the DJ provided and he was amazing.
On the day Heather and Karissa were so helpful and warm throughout. The whole wedding day was seamless, the food was delicious and worth every penny. Paul managed the flow of the day in a calm professional manner, and took time to chat to us throughout the day.
I would recommend this family run venue, the warmth received was felt by all, and they helped us create our perfect day. -

I don’t even know where to start. We are so glad we choose blakelands to celebrate our wedding day. From the initial first viewing we hadn’t even got back to the car and I said to my now husband this is where I want to get married. Thankfully he agreed. Being the kind of bride who questioned everything after we booked it I didn’t question the venue once.
We cannot thank all the staff enough for all their help from leading up to the wedding, the day before, the wedding day and even the next morning. Nothing was ever to much trouble for them. All invoices were clearly explained, Chloe gets back to your emails promptly answering all your questions along the way.
The venue and grounds are truly beautiful. All the guests commented how much of a beautiful venue it is with stunning grounds.
Thanks to Paul and Heather the day ran really smoothly and we always knew what was happening. The food was out of this world. Everyone commented on how nice and flavoured the food was with such good portion sizes.
Couple of guests commented it was the best wedding they had been to and was so well organised and this is all down to the staff at the Blakelands.
We honestly cannot recommend the Blakelands enough. It doesn’t disappoint they truly go above and beyond to ensure your wedding day is truly magical and special. -

Alex Sent on 14/08/2026The Best Experience from start to finish!
We had our wedding weekend at Blakelands on the 25th July. No words can express just how amazing it was, everything was perfect and our guests had a fabulous time celebrating with us. The pre wedding planning events and personal service we received from the whole team made the experience a pleasure from start to finish. We just want to do it all again. Thanks Team Blakelands. 10/10! -

The most amazing venue!
The Blakelands is the most amazing wedding venue and we knew we wanted to get married there from pretty much the moment we drove into the car park. The venue itself has so much character with lots of different spaces for guests, and lovely locations for photos. The whole process from booking, to the day of the wedding felt completely stress free, and no request or question was too much to ask.
The day itself was absolutely perfect and incredibly organised. Everyone says something will go wrong on your wedding day but nothing did, and that is thanks to the whole team at the Blakelands.
The biggest thank you to Heather, Paul, Chloe and the rest of the team, for helping to organise the best day of our lives. We are so happy we chose the Blakelands and would highly recommend it to anyone getting married. -

We are so pleased we booked Blakelands for our special day and cannot thank every member of staff enough for all the hard work they put into ensuring it ran smoothly. As a "type A" bride who likes to be in control of everything. I can honestly say I turned up on the day with the full knowledge that I could completely let go and relax on the morning. They were very thorough in getting all the details for exactly how we wanted the day beforehand. We had a few guests tell us they couldn't attend last minute, it was never any trouble for them to reshuffle the tables so there was no empty seats! Staff were also great at checking in throughout the morning to see how we were getting on with getting ready and ensured the day ran on time.
The day itself was beautiful and every single one of my guests were blown away with just how lovely venue it was! They are a licenced venue and had a lot of in-house services which made planning the wedding super easy. We spent the whole day at Blakelands, with the bridal party getting ready in the loft and the groom's party getting ready in the bridal suite (I hear theres a grooms suite in the pipeline!). The ceremony was held in the walled gardens and it was set up beautifully - we used their in-house dressing team which reduced the stress of getting an external vendor in! For food we had the in-house caterers the Mexican Cantina buffet and stone baked pizzas on the night for food options which were divine and everyone loved them! We also booked the in-house DJ who did an amazing job of making sure everyone was on the dance floor all night long. He played the requests my guests had made prior, which was a huge mix of music from classics to more heavier rock and he balanced the mix in styles well! At the end of the night, we fell into the comfiest bed in the bridal suite and woke up to a lovely breakfast in the morning with friends and family!
We honestly cannot recommend Blakelands enough - if you are looking for a beautiful venue with an amazing team who will put their all into making your wedding day special, look no further! Each and every single member of staff was so friendly and welcoming. A special thank you to Paul, Heather, Chloe and Sam for all the amazing work they did in the run up and during my big day. From my constant emails with queries and questions, the detailed and clear invoices, planning the smaller details and last minute changes - you all were so patient, professional and kind throughout! We cannot thank you enough and we both hold so much love and appreciation for you all and your beautiful venue. -

Well what can I say about The Blakelands, my wife and I visited Blakelands around 3 years ago to look for the perfect wedding venue and honestly we didn’t need to look anywhere else once we had stepped out the car to a opening day, The Blakelands country house was the one !
We booked straight away, we planned for 3 years for our perfect day and we got just that. Blakelands were fantastic every step of the way, from the initial booking all the way up to the morning after the wedding when we left. They literally couldn’t do enough for you, staff were all friendly and fab at what they do. Everything ran smoothly on the day and it was all thanks to the staff. The place itself is beautiful, everything was wonderful, the views of the lake, the rooms, the breakfast the next morning, literally everything was perfect. Thank you so much to Chloe, Heather, Paul and the rest of the team, you made our day so special and we will forever remember it! I highly recommend Blakelands for anyone who wants to have their big day there, you will not be disappointed ! Thank you
