Pure Perfection

Fantastic from start to finish. Colin, Tam, Imogen and the rest of the team at Gradbach are amazing, so friendly and accommodating and just fabulous people have running your special day. From the initial visit to the venue to the big day we could not have asked for anything more.
The venue itself is stunning and is located in the most beautiful of places. Being able to get married outside and have all our guests stay in the same place made this venue ideal for our wedding.
The food Gradbach provides is delicious and all of our guests absolutely loved it! They couldn’t stop talking about it the next day at breakfast!
We will definitely be back again soon!

Perfect Wedding Day

As soon as we stumbled across Gradbach Mill a little over a year ago, we knew this was the place we wanted to get married. It’s a beautiful location with lots of outdoor space and a relaxed feel. Colin and the team were fantastic: always friendly and helpful, allowed us to decorate the venue however we wanted, catered for multiple dietary requirements, gave us delicious, locally sourced food, and seamlessly sorted everything on the day. We and our guests had a fantastic day and our wedding was better than we could have hoped for. Would highly recommend!

The staff at Gradbach Mill were fantastic in every way! They ensured that everything ran like clockwork and were so incredibly helpful. We never had to ask for anything, the Gradbach Team are absolute professionals. All our guests raved about how much they enjoyed the food and everyone was very comfortable in their bedrooms. We loved every moment of our wedding and are so grateful to Colin, Imogen and Tam and the rest of team for everything they did to make it so special. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Gradbach Mill is the best place to get married!

Amazing venue, amazing staff, amazing time!

I cannot recommend Gradbach Mill enough for a wedding. We had the most unbelievable weekend celebrating our special day. The venue was incredibly idyllic, comprising a traditional 18th-century stone mill, beautifully converted for use for weddings. It is situated close to the River Dane, in an enclosed valley surrounded by stunning hills with luscious greenery. There are plenty of useable spaces at the mill; we got married next to beautiful timber canopy by the river, played rounders and welly wanging on the rear field, and had a firepit in the orchard. The site also had plenty of space for accommodation, with rooms in the mill, a cottage to the back, and a large farmhouse.
Colin and the team at Gradbach had been absolutely super from start to finish. They were outgoing, flexible, and reliable, and catered to our every want and need. The team have cultivated a wonderfully warm and friendly atmosphere at the mill. They made sure we had no stresses on the day. The food was also phenomenal. We had a mediterranean buffet on the Friday night (which I didn’t think could be topped), followed by a selection of dreamy pies for the main meal on the day, and pizza in the evening.
We will remember our wedding weekend at Gradbach for the rest of our lives, and will be back every year to spend more time in this special place.

Outstanding in every way!

We have just enjoyed our wonderful Wedding Weekend at Gradbach Mill and cannot speak highly enough of this place!
The setting is beautiful and peaceful. We felt that the location made our Wedding feel relaxed, simple and tasteful.
The Mill, farmhouse and cottage provide high standard accommodation for guests and the main hall in the Mill provided a great area to have our Wedding reception.
It was great fun to make the space our own by doing bespoke decorations, and floral pieces.
Tam, the chef and her team provided really excellent vegetarian dishes and delicious desserts and all our guests raved about the food!
From start to finish our experience with Colin, and the rest of the team has been a pleasure, the staff are relaxed, helpful, flexible and friendly.
We are so grateful to them all for making our day so lovely!

Exceptional, outstanding, simply perfect

We had our wedding in July at Gradbach Mill. We had the most amazing day and the whole team at Gradbach couldn't do enough for us. Everyone is so kind and accommodating. Our guests enjoyed every bit and found the bedrooms to be very comfortable. Six weeks on and we are still raving about our wedding. People who have only seen photos have also said how great it looked. The location is stunning. The food is simply amazing and catered for many dietary requirements. This is a gem of a venue and we can't recommend it enough. Thank you again to all the team, you are just brilliant.
