A perfect day

We honestly couldn’t have chosen a better venue than The newly refurbished Grange Hotel for our wedding. From our first visit, it felt elegant and romantic but still relaxed and modern — exactly what we wanted as a young couple.
The refurbishment has been done beautifully. The interiors feel fresh and stylish while keeping all the character of the building, and the views over Morecambe Bay are absolutely stunning. Our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how gorgeous the venue was.

The wedding team were incredible from start to finish. They were friendly, organised, and genuinely cared about making our day perfect. Everything ran smoothly, which meant we could relax and fully enjoy the day without any stress.
The food was amazing — easily some of the best wedding food we’ve had — and the service throughout the day and evening was spot on. Having the hotel rooms on-site was a huge bonus too, especially after a long day of celebrating. The bridal suite was amazing, standard rooms were beautiful and so comfortable, and guests loved being able to stay over and enjoy the spa facilities.

Overall, The Grange Hotel gave us the perfect mix of romance, fun, and elegance. We couldn’t recommend it highly enough to any couple looking for a stunning venue with an amazing team behind it.

The Grange saved our wedding!

We booked the Grange last minute due to our initial wedding venue going into administration 6 weeks before our big day in May this year. We hadn't even come across the Grange when looking, but it's safe to say these guys seriously pulled it out of the bag to accommodate us and all of our guests so last-minute! The staff were extremely friendly and happy to take any special requests - nothing felt like too much to ask for and the team really make you feel at ease. The venue is stunning, lots of different places for photo opportunities (including the beach & promenade!) and to top it off, we were blessed with probably the best weather of the year- thanks to all the team who made it extra special and special thanks to Katie (our wedding coordinator) for taking us on so last minute. You were an absolute God-send and we ended up having a better day than we could have imagined! With many thanks and best wishes, Beth & Steve (10.05.2025)

Our dream day

We had our dream day 28-3-25 and it was everything we had hoped for, the package, the views, the food, the rooms, the staff....our day went without a hitch and we loved every minute of it. I had been planning our day for the best part of 3 years and had actually moved to the Grange from another venue that had closed for business, but Katie made sure that we were looked after and after the move im so glad it was the Grange we ended up having our big day it was just beaitiful.
Katie had to put up with my endless emails and questions for all that time and she made sure all my visions were put in place on the day.
Thank you to Katie and the team at the Grange! I wish we could do it again 😊

June 2025 wedding

After having a difficult time with our pervious venue going into liquidation, I took the opportunity to look around the Grange, from speaking to Sharon the receptionist and her showing us around, I instantly fell in love with the venue, it was 100x better than what I originally had booked. I then made an appointment to meet with Katie the wedding manager. She answered all our questions, went above and beyond from the first meeting. Katie ensured my pre wedding meal and the wedding day ran smoothly from start to finish.. I wanted to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to all the team at The Grange Hotel, and we can't wait to come back, as Mr & Mrs Sloman.

Perfect wedding day!

Myself & Tom just want to say a huge thank you for helping make our wedding day as special as it was. Everything from the night before the wedding, throughout the day and night was just perfect. The staff were very attentive and friendly.

The Grange has beautiful grounds and so many spaces to enjoy the special day.

The day flowed seamlessly which is a massive credit to the Grange team when transitioning from ceremony to wedding breakfast.



Our day was just perfect, thank you again to Katie and her team. The Grange will always hold a special place for us

Beautiful Veune, great staff!

Our day was everything we hoped for, The Grange was a lovely venue, I loved the look in the Grange bay room with its beautiful high ceilings, so light and bright and the flowers from Brackens of Bowness really added to the feel of the room.

It was great moving up to the function suite in the evening, this meant that evening guests could start to arrive at anytime and the band could set up without any disruption making the day run seamlessly.

Katie and the staff at the Grange were very friendly and helpful making sure that the day ran smoothly, from breakfast and ice buckets for the bridesmaids in the morning right through to the end of the night.

A beautiful venue with great staff.

Wedding in May 2024

Grange Hotel was truly a remarkable place to celebrate our Wedding on 24th May 2024.

First of all, we would like to send a huge thank you to Katie, our Wedding Coordinator. She was extremely hard working and dedicated her time to ensuring we had the most fantastic and perfect day. The day went so smoothly and we were very impressed with how beautiful she made all the rooms look.

We would also love the thank the kitchen staff, waiting staff and housekeeping team. They were all so friendly and worked hard to ensure the seamless delivery of service. The meal was gorgeous and we have received many compliments on how tasty everything was. Our guests were blown away with quality of the rooms and how grand the furnishings are. Some even made the most of the relaxing spa the morning after the Wedding.

We would recommend Grange Hotel for any newly engaged couple, as we really had the most perfect and memorable day.

What we loved most about Grange Hotel, is that it offers so many gorgeous spaces to enjoy your day; guests could sit out on the stunning lawn to enjoy some sun whist looking out across Morecambe Bay, and all the indoor rooms are spacious with magnificent décor.

We can’t wait to return to Grange Hotel for many years to come.

Phoebe (wedding coordinator) is worth her weight in gold!

We loved our wedding at The Grange Hotel and Phoebe was AMAZING. She made it work for us and was so helpful. She went above and beyond, clearly working very hard in the background to make it right. It is a lovely location, a lovely hotel and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The flexibility of space to use is also a bonus, as you have the outside areas, the gazebos to get married in (if the weather is okay), the lovely downstairs room for the wedding breakfast, and then the upstairs room for the evening do. Plus the views over the sands.

All our guests commented on how good the food was, how nice the setting and the staff were, and how nice the bedrooms were, with some lovely views at the front. We can't recommend enough. Happy wedding to all.

Wedding Heaven!

We were married at the beautiful Grange Hotel in July 2015 and were over the moon with our choice of venue. The new honeymoon suite is absolutely gorgeous and has its own balcony with woodland views. Words really cannot describe the quality of the venue or the atmosphere and service. If you want to have the very best start to married life and to know that your family and friends are being treated like royalty too, the Grange Hotel is for you. Thank you to everyone who filled our day with such joy and happy memories to treasure xxx

Fairytale Wedding Venue!

We were married at the Grange Hotel in October, 2013. We could not have asked for a lovelier, happier place to be married. We looked at about 15 venues before we chose the Grange. The reason it stood out is because they only ever hold one wedding each day, and the setting, facilities, gardens and lovely staff are impossible to beat! We were offered full use of all 4 amazing function rooms for our celebrations. And deciding which of the 4 honeymoon suites to choose was so difficult because they're all gorgeous. Another important bonus is that the packages are all clearly itemised so you know exactly what you are getting with no hidden extra expenses to shock you. Some venues even told us we had to have a ridiculous minimum spend, whereas the Grange let us use their fantastic silver candelabras for our table décor, and pretty glass & silver lanterns to light up the aisle - with their compliments. It`s this kind of generous spirit that sets them apart. Most of all, we felt we were in professional and safe hands. Angela, the Wedding Co-ordinator is an absolute gem and helped us to organise our perfect dream wedding, even though we had some quite strange requests! Brian, the Master of Ceremonies had us all laughing and relaxed. It was such a fabulous day! Our families were so impressed with the venue that many of them have returned for short breaks since our wedding! That says a lot. We`re looking forward to going back to celebrate our First Anniversary later this year - with a little addition to our family who is due to arrive in August!
