An absolutely incredible day!

Where do I begin?!! Our summer wedding was nothing short of magical! Myself and my husband can not express how thankful and grateful we are to the Rowhill staff. We firstly want to give the biggest thank you to Emelia Barrett, our wedding coordinator who was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Nothing was too much for her and she went above and beyond! You are an absolute credit to Rowhill. The service provided by Rowhill staff on the day of the wedding was absolutely exceptional. Many of our guests commented on their level of service, everyone was well looked after! The food was exceptional, particularly the lamb! Credit to the chef!
A huge thank you to Moses who was brilliant. he was so professional, attentive and made sure the day ran smoothly. DJ was also brilliant! John kept the dance floor full until the very end. What a night! We couldn't have had our wedding at a better venue. The grounds are simply stunning and look so beautiful in photos. We wish we could do the whole day all over again. Thank you again Rowhill for giving us a day that we will never forget!

Perfect May Wedding

We had our wedding at Rowhill Grange in May 2024 and couldn't be happier.

The venue itself is lovely. The grounds are well kept and beautiful! It was easy for our photographer to find spots to take photos.

Becky was our wedding coordinator and was extremely knowledgeable and patient. She reassured us throughout the process and on the day there wasn't anything for us to do or worry about. Her team took care of everything.

The list of suppliers they had was very helpful. We went with Chic Weddings for the flowers/décor, because they knew the venue which was helpful.

The split between the room for the wedding breakfast and bar worked well as it gave guests a break from dancing but it wasn't hard to find people.
----
We knocked one star off responsiveness due to some slow responses but I think that was really just our unrealistic expectations!

Absolutely fantastic service

We recently had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at rowhill grange. First of all the Becky Bell and her team were fantastic from start to finish in making sure the whole event flowed smoothly. And even before the event Becky helped us so much in planning and even highlighting things that we hadn't even thought of. We had pa Sri Lankan wedding which has a few cultural aspects and the hotel and staff were very accommodating in allowing us to do these special types of arrangements. The professionalism and friendliness of all staff was 11/10. I have no words to describe how thankful I am to the whole team and more importantly Becky for making our day extra special

Such a perfect day!

We cannot recommend Rowhill Grange as a wedding venue enough! From start to finish, everyone was so helpful and reassuring. Our wedding day ran perfectly and it was all down to the organisation and communication of the staff! A special mention for Harry who made the organisation of the day feel effortless and Luke who made sure the day ran like clockwork! We are so happy we chose Rowhill Grange!

An amazing venue and amazing leadership

Our wedding was an interfaith ceremony which was postponed because of Covid. We could not have asked for a better team than that at Rowhill Grange. The general manager James Perry and the wedding coordinator Harry Jarvis made every aspect of planning during a pandemic easier despite restrictions and changes to format. The catering team and chef ensured we had a perfect menu and really went the extra mile to make sure we were very happy. All I have is praise and I cannot recommend a better venue or team to take care of the most important day of your life. Thank you so much, it was perfect..

August wedding

We had the most perfect day at Rowhill Grange. It is a beautiful venue and food was amazing. We also couldn’t fault the staff at all. Everyone from our wedding coordinator Abbie and the rest of the events team, to the bar staff and waiters and our on the day wedding coordinator were honestly amazing. The events team made sure everything ran smoothly and their planning process is so comprehensive that you really feel like nothing could really go wrong on the day. They are such a credit to the venue and we are so grateful for their support throughout the planning. We are really looking forward to spending our first anniversary there and can’t recommend the venue enough:

Wedding of the year!

Trying to find the right words to describe how amazing Rowhill Grange was feels like hard work! I really was blown away with the incredible service from the whole team. Abbie was our wedding coordinator and she really did bend over backwards to help make our day so special (I'm going to miss her!). I really am lost for words .. all I can say is, if you are considering Rowhill Grange as your wedding venue just do it - you will not be disappointed!

We had the most perfect day

I can’t recommend Rowhill Grange highly enough. We had our wedding there in May 2024 and had the most perfect day. Emilia and the team have been fantastic from start to finish, I would also shout out to Karis who was amazing on the day and kept everything running like clockwork.

The package we booked included John the DJ who was also fantastic along with all the staff at Rowhill. We honestly couldn’t have wished for anything more.

The best day of our lives

My husband and I got married on 25th March 2024 at rowhill grange. We had the intimate package with just 30 guests and it was amazing.
Abbie was my planner and she was great. Everything was catered for and nothing was too much of a problem.
The rooms in the mews were lovely. The food was great (we had the bbq option) and the staff were incredible. From reception to the waiters and bar staff everything was amazing.
I would love to do it all over again but u wouldn’t change any of it.
Thank you to everyone at rowhill grange for helping us to have the best day ever.
Rowhill will always have a special place in my heart and I can’t wait to return to have a night away again soon.

Amazing except the DJ

What a magical day we had. Even before the day from the moment we booked the venue Harry was amazing and help us all long the way even when we had to change the day due to a unexpected pregnancy. The venue was beautiful on the day and the staff were flawless. The only down side was the DJ. And we all know it’s the DJ that make the party. He asked for around 20 ish songs to play st the wedding to get a feel of what we like which he played in order of what we wrote down didn’t play anything else. And the music kept stopping and he wasn’t there he had wondered off a few times. ( we have this on video). I basically made a playlist and he pressed play. When my songs finish he kept asking what do you want me to play. I wished I booked a different DJ

Wonderful!

We got married on 6th June 2023 and would highly recommend Rowhill Grange. We’d seen an elopement package for another location, but wanted it somewhere which meant something to us. We took the package details to Rowhill Grange and they were happy to make the package, tailoring it to what we wanted. We had an amazing package, including spa treatments, champagne afternoon tea, a bottle of champagne on the wedding day, and a 2 night stay. During the buildup to the wedding day we met and discussed the details with our wedding coordinator, who did an amazing job getting our stay arranged to perfection. On our wedding day we were looked after by a wedding coordinator, who was friendly, professional and kept us informed of everything that was due to happen and how, which took all the stress out of the day.

The team looking after us were lovely and professional, and everyone we spoke to made us feel welcome and special. It was a truly wonderful day, and we’re already planning to return on our anniversary next year (and in the meantime too!).

Our Wonderful Wedding Day

We got married at Rowhill Grange on the 25th March 2023. Hanna was our events coordinator in the run up to the big day. Whilst we obviously appreciated her professional approach, we absolutely loved the way that she was also so informal and friendly. Nothing was a problem for her and she pulled out all the stops to make sure that we had the day we wanted. All the staff on the day were fantastic and had the same blend of professionalism and informal friendliness.

The venue itself was stunning. It was interesting to see the amazement on many of our guests faces. The facilities were superb, including the changing room for the bridal party and the included Mews accommodation was outstanding. The catering and the DJ were excellent.

Thank you Rowhill Grange for giving us and our guests a day we will never forget, for all the right reasons!
