We are still in our post-wedding bubble!

We had the best day ever and it's largely thanks to you and everyone at The Grand who went above and beyond for us. We cannot thank you enough. From our operation meeting the evening before to the day itself (including the amazing food) and our night in the suite, everything was wonderful. Both our moms love you and The Grand. We are still in our post-wedding bubble!

We are so happy we chose The Grand!

We had such a great time from start to finish at the hotel. The day itself could not have gone better. The room set ups and the staff were very helpful. The food was good both at our sit down and we had many compliments from evening guests about the buffet. Many of our family & friends thought it was such a fantastic venue something they’d never been to for a wedding. The terrace was definitely a winner! Meg we are so happy we chose the Grand as our venue and honestly cannot be happier!

We loved it SOOOOOO much!!

We loved it SOOOOOO much!! It was all just brilliant, and we can't thank you and everyone at the Grand enough for all that you did for us. We have relived it over and over since we left you on the 1st. Thanks again Meg. It was a pleasure dealing and working with you, and you really made the day an absolute joy for us.

An absolute dream

We came back from our mini honeymoon. Thank you for all the help and beautiful attention to detail. This was an absolute dream and we are so thankful. Our expectations (which were always high) were greatly exceeded. I will do so and will keep the Grand Hotel and the whole team in mind for any future celebrations. Again, thank you for making our day so special and making me feel a lot less stressed during the whole preparation process.

Above and beyond

I just wanted to write an email to express our gratitude to Bea and Ian. They were absolutely amazing on the day and really went above and beyond for us to make sure we had a great day. We honestly could not have asked for two better people to coordinate our wedding and I just wanted to highlight that you really have two amazing employees in them at the Grand. The entire day they were so thoughtful, organised and made sure that we and our families had the most perfect day.

Describe The Grand Hotel Birmingham in 5 adjectives

Luxurious, Tasteful, Indulgent, Inspiring. All things Grand.

Where’s the best photo spot at The Grand Hotel Birmingham?

The Grand Staircase is a gorgeous and pivotal location for your couple and guest photos. Lovingly restored with rich detail, our Grand Staircase is the centrepiece of the hotel, which both you, your guests and photographer, will love. Picture this, an overhead shot of our spiralling Grand Staircase, you both lovingly hand in hand as you descend. Elegance could never look so easy.

What’s your favourite canapé?

Tough choice! Must say the Pork Belly & Mushroom arancini canapés go down a treat.

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

My favourite midnight snack, or should I say Charcuterie spread, is of Cheeses', savoury crackers and chutney dips. For a treat away from home, I like to order our Cheese and Charcuterie Board from our Room Service menu, accompanying with Crispy Sourdough, Grapes and Pickles. Available all day for overnight guests, because why should treats be saved until midnight?

What is The Grand Hotel Birmingham most unique feature?

Our Grand Hotel is full of period character with original Victorian architecture and marble detailing. Beautifully restored with complimenting Arts from the history that roamed our walls since 1879. Interior design featured throughout the hotel and in every direction. There is no other Grand Hotel Birmingham.
