The most beautiful day!

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.

The Perfect Day!

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

Our wedding at Blakelands!

We booked our wedding just 6 months in advance - as soon as we viewed Blakelands our heart was set on this venue. After securing our date Blakelands supported us every step of the way - they supplied a list of vendors we could use and were always quick to respond to any queries we had.
The grounds of Blakelands are absolutely beautiful and you have so many different ceremony options whether you want an indoor or outdoor occasion.
We used the bridal loft on the morning of the wedding and it was the perfect place to get the day started. Everything was clean and private and helped the day run so smoothly.
Once the day started everything ran so smoothly and staff were always on hand to ensure both bride and groom were ok. Everything was faultless and all of our guests also loved the food and venue.
We stayed in the honeymoon suite and upon arrival all of our things were ready and waiting for us.
Overall, we had the best day - staff are friendly and willing to help in any way that they can, the venue is stunning, food is delicious and we would recommend the venue over and over.
We will never forget our special day and the huge part that Blakelands played in making it so special for us - thank you for everything!

The 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!

Our 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.

A 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.

Perfect 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.

Beautiful Venue!

Our wedding day was amazing! Blakelands is such a lovely venue. As we got married on the 6th December, the whole venue was decorated for Christmas and it was magical.
We would recommend Blakelands to all couples that want a Christmas wedding.

When it comes to weddings Blakelands is unmatched.
Blakelands is a fantastic wedding venue and we couldn't recommend them enough. The Blakelands team met our every need from the moment we booked our wedding in 2024 right up until our wedding day itself. Any query we had, regardless of how long or short was resolved professionally within a short time frame. Every person we spoke to were genuinely surprised at how relaxed we were regarding our wedding planning, we feel that this was entirely down to the fantastic organisation of the Blakelands team and making the entire process stress free. Our wedding day was incredible and faultless. All of our guests commented on the beautiful venue alongside the quality of the food and the large portion sizes, especially compared to other weddings they'd attended. Blakelands is an incredible venue, if you're planning your wedding in the near future 100% get yourself booked onto one of their open days! You won't be disappointed!

Our perfect wedding

Myself and my now husband had our reception at Blakelands following our wedding at St Mary’s church. We had the most magical day! Paul, Heather and Chloe were great! We had an initial meeting with Paul & Heather to show us around Blakelands and to explain what packages etc were available. The team were always available to answer any questions in the lead up to our wedding. Blakelands is just beautiful and gave our quests so much room to relax and enjoy our day. Plus the food is amazing! Highly recommend!

Wow! What a day!

A huge thank you to the whole Blakelands team who made our day just perfect in every way and so US! Heather, Paul & Chloe were so supportive and accommodating throughout the whole planning experience, offering advice, recommendations & support fitting everything we wanted into our budget. All of our guests had the most amazing time and even a slight downpour mid ceremony did not stop us having our dream of an outside ceremony. The house & grounds are just gorgeous & steeped in history which meant so much to us both. The day went so smoothly and we truly we treated like royalty, especially our little cavapoo Sunny who made a guest appearance! The food was just to die for and the freshly made pizzas on the evening went down a treat! We cannot thank you enough for such an amazing day!
Love & best wishes
