A joy to photograph

As a wedding photographer, I visit many wedding venues around Warwickshire and Blackwell Grange really is such a fantastic setting for a wedding. The staff strike the perfect balance of being attentive and organised making sure the day runs seamlessly whilst remaining subtle and creating a really relaxed atmosphere. From a photography perspective, the venue is a joy to photograph. Every corner is beautiful and the thatched barn really is something special. Thank you so much for having me!

Cannot recommend this venue highly enough

The venue is beautiful and the staff are so helpful and made everything so easy. They were on hand at every step of the process, from booking right through to picking up our decorations the day after the wedding. They were always happy to answer questions (and I had a lot) and do whatever they can to make your special day go smoothly. They even let me arrive in a tractor! We cannot recommend this venue highly enough, very professional and very helpful. Plus the food is amazing!

This venue is a dream

Gorgeous layout. Very well decorated with outstanding grounds. The building flows brilliantly, and you're never far from your guests or amenities. The staff really do go the extra mile and look after the day as if it was their own. Great work everyone!

We had an incredible day

Blackwell Grange is a simply stunning venue, the details and the care taken to design the venue and the accommodation is amazing. The planning stages with the team was thoroughly enjoyable and we were put at ease every step of the way. The team are so helpful, friendly and are experts at what they do. On the day so many of our guests commented on the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. The quality of the food and drinks was absolutely amazing & really added to the day.

Amazing venue and staff

We got married here at the end of October and had the best day! The venue is beautiful and the staff are so helpful and made everything so easy. They were on hand at every step of the process, from booking right through to picking up our decorations the day after the wedding. They were always happy to answer questions (and I had a lot) and do whatever they can to make your special day go smoothly. They even let me arrive in a tractor! We cannot recommend this venue highly enough, very professional and very helpful. Plus the food is amazing! Thank you to all the Blackwell Grange staff!

The perfect day

Blackwell Grange was not only the most beautiful venue we found, but the staff on the day were incredible. There were a few hiccups (unwell guests and dirt on the wedding dress before the ceremony…) but the team could not have done more to help and went completely above and beyond. Ash and Carol, in particular, where incredible. If you are lucky enough to have your wedding in this venue and have these two running your day, you are in for the perfect wedding.

Perfect Wedding Day

We got married on the 24th June 2023 and the day was incredible. Blackwell Grange is an absolutely stunning venue, especially the gardens and the Thatched Barn and no matter how many other venues we visited we couldn't shift the feeling it was the one from our minds. The food was delicious and presented amazingly, and the service was 10/10, we are still getting compliments on how good it was. There is a sound limit and a slightly early finish time of 11pm, however this didn't take away from our day and everyone had a great time. The bridal suite was stunning and very comfortable, we only wished we could have stayed longer. The Blackwell Grange team are incredibly organised, what might first come across as being a bit strict is just that they clearly know how to run a wedding day. Overall, we had the best wedding day at Blackwell Grange, and want to relive it over and over again! Would 100% recommend.

HONEST REVIEW FROM A NON-REVIEWER

I am not usually a reviewer but I feel that if couples are thinking of spending a lot of money there are some things that I feel need addressing by BG. You will probably see that a large proportion of reviews will praise how professional the staff are. This I am in agreement with fully and should not take away what a brilliant day we and our guests had, which was made possible due to the dedicated teams at BG. There are some wonderful little touches, like the mince pies, that kept our guests very happy during the day and night. I want to start by praising the wonderful young lady behind the bar at our wedding who stood out so much for her positivity and good humour. However... 1. You receive emails from a different person each time and one staff member (name beginning with the letter J) has an AWFUL email manner that definitely needs addressing! 2. Once they receive your final payments they are a lot less accommodating. 3. As the Bride and Groom we were unable to have our evening food saved for no longer than 2 hours due to health and safety reasons. I am sure we've all eaten a chicken kebab with a lot worse hygiene ratings after an evening out! 4. Guests were unnecessarily accused of being too loud at their table and for serving themselves wine. 5. We were unable to receive refunds for guests not attending which is understandable however we were not able to transfer this unused money onto something else. 6. Initially I was allowed to store my decorations the night before, then I wasn't and then I was again. 7. The accommodation was very impressive in comparison to other wedding venues but the breakfast options were a bit deflating after a night in such beautifully crafted rooms. 8. Do not get me started on the damage deposit for the accommodation! Over two weeks to reclaim it back AND they didn't even have my bank details to return it to! These are the little things that I feel some couples may not complain about however it is because of these things, that I would not recommend the venue to a friend, colleague or anyone.

Perfect from start to finish

I don’t even know where to begin. There are no words to describe how incredible our day was. From start to finish each and every staff member at Blackwell Grange could not do enough for us. The venue itself absolutely stunning, the food was incredible (nothing was too much trouble), and the staff / service we were given was above and beyond; the whole day ran so smoothly. Both us and our guests were treated like royalty. Weddings are never a cheap day, however, I do know our day at Blackwell Grange was worth every single penny. I truly couldn’t recommend a venue more. The accommodation is also incredible, thank you to Didi for putting on a lovely breakfast and making us feel so welcome. Thank you to everyone, especially Paige, for making our day perfect.

Describe the best wedding that happened at Blackwell Grange?

It's impossible to just pick one!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

It is your day, don’t worry about trying to please everyone, and enjoy it - we are here to take the stress out of it and help you every step of the way. Take as many one on one moments with your other half as you can throughout the day as it’s such a whirlwind and you will remember those little intimate moments forever.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

There are so many personal touches on every wedding, which makes them all so special in their own right. However, if I had to choose one it would be Grandma’s brooch attached to the bouquet as the Bride’s “something old & borrowed”. It is such a lovely sentiment, especially if they are unable to be there on the day in person.

Describe Blackwell Grange in 5 adjectives

Exclusive, photogenic, intimate, exceptional service and unforgettable

Where’s the best photo spot at Blackwell Grange?

This is a tough one as there are so many beautiful photo locations! Our favourite has to be either our Moon Gate or Arbour. The Arbour is beautiful for outdoor ceremonies but equally a great photo spot. The sun sets behind it over the stunning scenery and it also has festoon lighting which is great for some amazing evening shots! The Moon Gate also has the addition of the beautiful scenery behind it which is also great for sunset photos….we do love the Cotswold sunset!

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at Blackwell Grange?

Every couple is treated like a VIP here at Blackwell Grange, so in our eyes everybody is extra special to us!

What’s your favourite canapé?

This has to be the hardest of questions as we LOVE a canapé here at Blackwell. Our personal favourite has to be the Crispy Risotto Balls of Sundried Tomato and Mozzarella with Basil Pesto. It is an overall crowd pleaser! Suitable for your vegetarian guests but equally a surprising favourite amongst meat lovers too.

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

PIZZA! With our outdoor kitchen housing a beautiful pizza oven, wood-fired pizza is our hands-down favourite evening food! Who doesn’t love a slice of pizza! Drink in one hand, pizza in the other, throwing some shapes on the dancefloor… now that’s our kind of party!

What is Blackwell Grange most unique feature?

The sound system! Bespoke-made especially for our venue with over 360 speakers under one linen cloth in the ceiling and connected to inbuilt speakers throughout the venue (even in the toilets so no one will miss out one tunes!) We also have so many unique photo opportunities, including a backdrop of the huge thatch roof, the beautiful Moon Gate which is framed with scented roses and a full-glass bar area with views for days!

What part of your business are you most proud of?
