Beautiful wedding venue, brilliant staff

Our experience at Blackfriars Wedding Venue was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we stepped foot onto the historic grounds, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. What truly stood out was their accommodating nature they went above and beyond to ensure our beautiful dog could be part of the ceremony.

The venue itself exudes timeless beauty and historical significance, providing a stunning backdrop for our special day. The blend of elegance and history added an enchanting atmosphere that made our wedding truly unforgettable.

Moreover, the staff at Blackfriars went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was executed flawlessly. They seamlessly coordinated with our suppliers, making the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. Their commitment to excellence was evident in every aspect of their service.

Blackfriars Wedding Venue exceeded our expectations in every way possible. If you're looking for a venue that combines charm, history, and excellent service, look no further. Our heartfelt thanks to the team for making our wedding day a dream come true.

The most wonderful venue

We were completely delighted with our experience at Blackfriars. Matthew and the rest of the team could not have been more helpful, and made sure our whole day ran smoothly. They made several useful suggestions, were very easy to get in contact with whenever we had questions, and were transparent about the process, the costs and anything else we needed to know.

Mrs Lucy Fry

We had the best wedding at Blackfriars in October this year. Matt and his team were fantastic and worked tirelessly to ensure our day went to plan! They listened to what we wanted and did not fail to deliver! Personal touches such as allowing our dogs to come to the reception, turning on thousands of fairy lights and battery operated candles to make our look come to life and assembling our huge cheese/pork pie cake for us! Everyone was blown away by the naturally stunning North range and the history within the priory. The location was fantastic for our guests as most were local! Would 100% recommend.
We cannot thank you enough 🖤🖤

We really couldn't have asked for a better day

We can’t thank Sue and the team at Blackfriars enough, we had the most amazing wedding day in September. The venue is so beautiful and we really couldn’t have asked for a better day. Everything in the run up and right throughout the day went so smoothly and Sue was always around to answer any questions. We had catering from Cater Cater who were also just as amazing! Thank you!

Guests commented on how impressive it was

We got married at Blackfriars Priory on 28/10/2023. We can't thank Hebe and the Blackfriars team enough for all of their help and support, both on the day itself and in the months leading up to our big day. The day ran so smoothly, all the logistics were taken care of without us having to worry. We had a bagpiper in the morning and a Ceilidh in the evening which were so much fun, and again easily accommodated by the team.
The venue itself is stunning and lots of our guests commented on how impressive it was. Obviously as a large and very old building it can get chilly in the Autumn/Winter, so we did prep our guests to bring layers!
One perk for us was being able to set up the venue the day before. Seeing it take shape and not being rushed at all meant we could really enjoy the build up to the big day :)
Thanks again Blackfriars team!

The Most Beautiful Venue!

The most beautiful venue! As soon as we were engaged we knew we wanted to celebrate our marriage at Black Friars. Matthew was excellent and on hand to respond to any questions or requests we had. The recommended caterers, orchard catering, were sublime and would definitely recommend to future couples. Thank you so much for ensuring the day ran perfectly! Sophie and Matt x

A Genuine Treasure

Hosted our event with professionalism and skill. Made our day memorable and rose to the very few challenges we presented on the day. On top of that, the venue is gorgeous, well-kept, and full of history. A genuine treasure.

We fell in love with it straight away

Blackfriars was one of the first wedding venues me and my Husband viewed, and we fell in love with it straight away, booking it 2 years in advance! We are both so happy that we made the decision to have our wedding in Blackfriars as it was everything we hoped for, and more!

The team at Blackfriars were so helpful and guided us through all the planning along the way and went above and beyond when we had an issue with our caterers early in our planning. All venue visits were relaxed and they answered any questions we had. Our wedding planner even managed to arrange for a local, alcohol-free IPA to be supplied on our day for our alcohol-free guests and ensured that all the alcohol in our drinks package was vegan for us!

The garden games went down so well with our guests to use in the sunny courtyard, and it was amazing to see all our family & friends having the best time. We loved all the extra touches that were provided like fairy lights, downlighters and candles and this made the venue look even more beautiful!

The staff were fabulous on the day and made us feel so well looked after. All of our guests continue to comment on how beautiful and unique Blackfriars is as a venue too (which is the reason we booked it!) and how they also found all the staff so helpful on the day. We can't praise Blackfriars highly enough and would highly recommend booking your wedding or event here!
