From the very moment we entered The West Mill on our venues tour, we knew this was the place we wanted to get married!! From the stunning riverside location, to the four storey, magnificent mill building, this beautiful palce allows you to have the perfect day spread across all four floors with no room re-organisation required between the ceremony, the wedding breakfast and the party…. It’s got such a feel good vibe about it. Outside, it’s bright and spacious courtyard area with converted horse box bar, it’s lovely riverside gardens, and inside, It’s airy red brick rooms, with the rustic natural features, tall windows overlooking the river weir, the polished engineering brick floors and copper ceiling with industrial style lighting, and the New York styled bar area with its leather wraparound booths and comfy chairs paired up with original wrought iron feature tables and a great selection of drinks. Hannah and the team were absolutely brilliant from start to finish, combining down to earth approach to meeting your every need for putting on the production that is your most perfect day!! Nothing was too much trouble. We could not have chosen a more perfect venue for our special day. Thanks to Hannah and The West Mills team for hosting us on our magical day. With love from Chris & Caroline - The Holts❤️💙xxxx

I had seen pictures of this venue online and thought it looked so beautiful, I made an enquiry and we came to view the venue at their next opening day. We had both viewed several other venues at this point but none of them lived up to Torr Vale Mill. We knew there and then that we had to book this venue. The staff were lovely and accommodating, any request we had they sorted. The venue is stunning and the accommodation we had on site was perfect specially for me and my bridesmaids getting ready in the morning. Both me and my husband loved everything about Torr Vale Mill and so did our guests, it's set in such a beautiful location, the staff were brilliant and the venue is stunning we would definitely recommend this place for anyone who is wanting to get married.

We got married at Gradbach Mill 10.05.2025 - I cannot recommend the venue enough. Beautiful surroundings, we got married outside by the stream which was amazing, and the Mill itself is lovely as a venue for food, celebrating, and dancing. The food was great - generous portions, all well cooked, and tasty. The cheesecake was such a hit with our guests! Colin, Imogen and the team are great. They were very knowledgeable and relaxed, and their attention to detail was beyond what we'd expected. We'd pick Gradbach Mill again, and will definitely return in future for an anniversary etc. On site accommodation is spot on. The hottub at the Farmhouse is the biggest we've been in, and was incredible the day after the wedding to enjoy with family. 12 out of 10 for Gradbach and the team.

I fell in love with the river mill the moment I saw it online and I am so glad we went with them. From the moment of emailing I have felt supported and they’re so helpful. The venue is breathtaking! It is exactly what we wanted. We’re chilled out and didn’t want the typical style venue - this was absolutely perfect for us. Hannah was our coordinator and she was amazing. On the day everything ran so smoothly and all our guests raved about the venue and the steak grazer boards we had from the caterers

On behalf of everyone especially the bridal party, we would like to thank you for making our wedding day such a perfect day. The staff were all brilliant, the food was amazing and the atmosphere fantastic. If you ever want us to pass our number on to clients we would be more than happy to tell them how brilliant you are.

We truly had the most perfect day here, it ran smoothly, the food was great, the bar was well stocked and we felt really looked after, I really couldn’t thank Kerry and the rest of the staff enough for everything that they did. Kerry is super thorough, kind and helpful and she really pulled through to make the day what it was. We had our ceremony and reception in the Octagon Hall, pictures in the conservatory and the park and we hired the miniature train which was great fun for everyone. Thank you from the Stirrups xxx

Within minutes of arriving at Dunston Hall for an open day I knew we were no longer having the very relaxed barn wedding at our home, as we'd previously discussed. Fast forward a few days later and we'd signed the contract and thank goodness we did. There are many elements you can look back on your wedding day and think perhaps I'd done it differently, but our venue isn't one of them. Our guests were wowed by the rooms, all loved the food and still talk about it months on. The buildings and grounds are beautiful, the rooms exquisite and whilst these really do sell themselves, the staff at Dunston are, for me, the icing on the cake. Special mentions go to Owen, Anna, Salma and Jess. They really were like having a few added friends helping you out. Nothing was too much trouble, they are the perfect level of professional and friendly, and would make the effort to stop and speak to anyone as they quietly went about their tasks. They really are a true credit to Dunston. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dunston to couples searching for their venue.
