Claire Sent on 21/05/2026The Perfect Day. Second time around!
After being married at The Blakelands back in 2006, we decided to renew our wedding vows for our 20th anniversary. Instantly, we knew that The Blakelands was the only place to hold such a memorable event. Already holding a special place in our hearts, the second time around was even more wonderful. Being looked after again by Paul and Heather, along with the rest of the team - our day was perfect from start to finish. Not only is the venue beautiful, the organisation, decoration, food and attentiveness of all of the staff was incredible. We have created memories that will last our lifetime. I cannot thank The Blakelands team enough for such an amazing day. This is the most perfect, romantic, characteristic and beautiful place for your wedding day and in fact any special event. I can't recommend enough. I really do hope we will back again ourselves some day. -

The most friendly barn type wedding venue
We had such a lovely day celebrating our wedding at Blakelands, right from the start they were so easy to plan the day with for our wedding of 100 guests. The staff kept the day running seamlessly and really made the day stress free for us. We had a wonderful Christmas dinner for the wedding breakfast and enjoyed cocktails in the courtyard after the ceremony which really added a buzz to the atmosphere. Plus our wedding photos are stunning next to the bluebells by the lake. Couldn’t recommend these guys enough! -

Tammy Sent on 09/05/2026Our amazing May wedding at the Blakelands!
From the first moment we drove onto the Blakelands estate we just knew it was the one ! We didn’t look at any other venue.
We had various meetings to plan which were super helpful!
On the day all staff went above and beyond to make the day so magical and run smoothly.
We couldn’t have asked for anything to be done any different.
Thank you for making our day so beautiful.

Danni Sent on 26/04/2026A Magical Day!
The Blakelands was the most incredible wedding venue from start to finish- from the moment we booked, to the moment we left the day after our wedding! There was constant communication through emails and we were kept in the loop throughout! The staff are amazing- they all know what they are doing, what needs doing well and make the whole experience seamless.
We had the Hen Package- which was defo worth it, meaning we had access to the loft the night before the opportunity for the Bridal party to just relax. The wedding say itself was MAGICAL! Bridal party got ready in the loft, Groom's party had breakfast and a room to get ready, kept informed throughout the morning of vendors arriving and everything going to plan, the ceremony went perfectly (outdoors), the wedding meal was beautiful and the evening was brilliant and fun! The venue was set up exactly how I planned and it couldn't have been a more perfect day- all thank you to the wonderful team at The Blakelands! -

Spring wedding
Booked 2 years in advance so after the initial booking we didn’t have too much correspondence which is fine as the important details were booked in at the appropriate times, however if I did need to ask anything it was always answered.
On the actual wedding day all the staff from Paul, Heather and Samuel to all onsite staff were brilliant, I’d mention one lady in particular but I didn’t catch her name however she took a last minute picture in the loft and was just so lovely and kind all day and at breakfast the next day, hopefully if she reads this she knows it’s her!
Everything we bought to have set up for the ceremony and wedding breakfast was placed just as we asked, loved the little touch of a pizza each being delivered to our room at the end of the evening too so we didn’t miss out on the evening food (which was pizza) - it was thoroughly enjoyed!
We had a brilliant time. The only thing I’d say we were sad to miss out on was a ‘taster’ evening, the only one offered to us was a couple of weeks before our wedding day which we’d already had our final choices meetings so it felt a bit useless to pay to have a taster evening.

Miss Sent on 02/03/2026Perfect from start to finish
We planned our Winter wedding in just 10 weeks with the expert help of Paul, Heather, Chloe and the team. Their experience and guidance was exceptional and helped make our day go very smoothly. They advised us step by step either in person, or by telephone or email. All our guests loved our venue, from the beautiful rooms which were decorated with tasteful Christmas decorations, to the fab food, the amazing scenery and the friendliness from all the staff who were on duty. We took advantage of all the guest accommodation, which was perfect for our friends who had travelled far or those who lived closer and just fancied a nights stay. We enjoyed the fact that the whole venue was ours for the day, including the bars, sitting rooms and all the outdoor space, this was the crucial factor for us and the reason why we chose Blakelands, add to this the beautiful setting in the Staffordshire countryside, it provided the perfect venue for our special day. -
