Wonderful Day

agoMy daughter was married at Grittleton yesterday. Despite hot humid conditions everything, the venue, the food and refreshments and staff were incredible. Everyone there had a magical day in this wonderful old house. The rooms were fantastic and nothing was too much trouble. I would thoroughly recommend Grittleton to anyone looking for a quality, spacious venue.

The Perfect Wedding

We had less than 5 weeks to arrange a wedding due to a close family member being diagnosed with a terminal illness. There is absolutely no way we could have done it without all the help from Grittleton House. Emma was just amazing, going above and beyond, from contacting suppliers and organising every detail of the day. We are so incredibly grateful to all of the GH team for such a perfect day. The house is so stunning and all of our guests commented on how beautiful it is. I highly recommend Grittleton House!!!

Thank you for the most amazing day!

Thank you so much to the whole Grittleton team for the most incredible wedding day and weekend.

In a nutshell, the team are absolutely amazing, the service was impeccable from start to finish, the house is absolutely stunning, the food is fantastic (and was adapted to be gluten free for us), and the flexibility to design your day exactly how you dream it to be is extremely special.

To Danny - thank you so much for absolutely aceing the food for our wedding day. We are so grateful for you spending so much time and effort designing and creating an all gluten free menu of canapés and wedding breakfast options. We have had so much feedback about how fantastic the food was and how much everyone enjoyed it, and we absolutely loved it too.

To Nelson - your continuous attention to detail, help deciding on drinks options and seamless organisation of the afternoon on the day was amazing. We will be forever grateful for all of your help, thank you.

To Emma - thank you for all of your incredible support, advice, planning and expert coordination of the most fantastic day. You have been absolutely brilliant and made organising the day a dream, thank you.

To Vanessa - thank you so much for welcoming us into your home, for allowing us to make it ours for the weekend and for being a constant source of joy before during and after our time at Grittleton House.

To the whole Grittleton team, thank you again for making everything so special. We hope to see you again in the not too distant future!

Steve and Karen Gould

Our son and daughter in law got married at the stunning Grittleton House , last week . We couldn’t fault anything and the day was truly magical . The staff were amazing and worked so hard to make the day perfect. The house looked beautiful and having the quaint church next to it , was such an added bonus. As a family we had the most wonderful day and those memories we will cherish forever.
Thank you Grittleton !

The Perfect Wedding Venue

If you are looking for the perfect wedding venue then Grittleton House is the place for you. From start to finish, Emma and the team make the whole process so very easy.

The house itself is incredibly beautiful, and makes for a perfect backdrop for a magical ceremony. The bedrooms in the house are amazing, and the bridal dressing room is something to behold (think Bridgerton).

The food is incredible. Our guests continuously complimented the food all day. We would thoroughly recommend the Cornish Pasties for the evening food choice. These come from Bude and everyone was really impressed with the quality and range of flavours available.

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this venue to anyone. It was the perfect day for us.

the PERFECT wedding venue

Grittleton House was the perfect venue for our August 2023 wedding. Not only is the house itself stunning, but the grounds are well kept and look beautiful at anytime of year. We felt like royalty being able to host our friends and family in a venue like Grittleton. But above all else, if we had to do our wedding over again, we would choose Grittleton House every time for the staff alone.
Emma, the wedding coordinator, is enough reason to have your wedding here as any. Even before we booked Grittleton, she was on hand to answer any questions, and was available whenever we needed her right up to the big day. She was always happy to help us, and be on hand to assist us when we had problems arise with other aspects of wedding planning. Her knowledge and experience meant that she was always able to advise us on the best options, all whilst making us feel like the only couple getting married at the venue. For someone like myself, who loves to plan but gets very easily stressed, Emma was the perfect coordinator, and I always felt so much more relaxed after speaking with her; there was no one else I would’ve trusted with our wedding as much as her.
Nelson was on hand the day of our wedding, and was a joy to have around. During the set up of the wedding, he knew the names of everyone there, and their relation to myself and my husband, without me being aware he was ever introduced to them. He was aware of what task everyone was currently completing, and what still needed to be done. I had planned this wedding for just shy of 2 years, and Nelson knew the vision better in 20 minutes than I did.
All of the wait staff from the wedding day and cleaning staff that we met the following morning were so polite and welcoming to this family home. Even when we were late checking out, they couldn’t have been kinder and more understanding.
The food is lovely and all allergies and dietary requirements were catered for incredibly well. The bedrooms in the stables were clean and comfortable, but the rooms in the main house were outstanding – beautifully decorated and full of little amenities that made it feel even more homely.
On the morning of the wedding, we had a couple of dramas, which could have easily dampened the mood of the whole day. One of which was handled incredibly well by the team, and we cannot thank them enough for their help and support; on the day, and after the wedding.
For us, the best part of Grittleton House were all the little touches we received as the newlywed couple. I wont detail them on here, as they weren’t mentioned to us throughout the whole process and were lovely surprise to find out about on the day, and I would hate to take that away from other couples. But it really did make us feel like the most important people in the world, and the whole team felt like extended family.

Thank you once again for having us,
Mr & Mrs Seymour

Perfect venue for a perfect day

When we began our wedding venue search we knew we wanted somewhere that was easily accessible for friends and family across the UK, that had onsite and local accommodation, offered exclusive hire and wasn't a hotel. With that in mind, Grittleton ticked all our boxes plus more that we didn't know we had! It's a strikingly beautiful and well kept venue that is very grand, but isn't overwhelming and still feels welcoming.
From the very beginning Emma, the Wedding Coordinator was a great help and source of advice throughout the planning and final details and is so personable, you really don't feel like just another couple. During our wedding day, Nelson, Venue Manager was on hand to guide us through the day and make sure things ran exactly as we wanted them to and it was reassuring to have him there. All of the staff were friendly and professional.
The Drawing Room where the Bridal party get ready in is beautiful and allows the Bride get ready in comfort, feeling relaxed with no worries about transport!
We had the most perfect wedding day, with guests telling us how good and plentiful the food was, how great the venue and bedrooms were and how fun the day was. We wouldn't change a thing!

Alexandrina & Matthew wedding 1.9.23

Just a quick note to thank you and your fantastic team for a truly amazing and wonderful day.
The location, building and grounds were truly beautiful, creating the perfect backdrop for our wedding. Emma was amazing in the organisation and lead up to our day, so professional with no stone left unturned.
On the day, from start to end, the team surpassed everything we ever dreamed of, Nelson and Vanessa were outstanding in every way, with complements from all our guests on our wedding breakfast, the bar, the rooms, the service and every other aspect of our day.
We thank you from the bottom of our Hearts!!

Perfect wedding day

We had the perfect wedding day at Grittleton House. The venue is incredibly beautiful and you can choose from a range of rooms and spaces for the different parts of the day so that it works for you.

The venue hire includes support with planning, setting up and managing the day, helping to make sure everything runs smoothly. This was a huge help and took a lot of the pressure off us when planning the day.

The food and drink was amazing, with huge portions and great staff. We are still getting compliments from guests about the canapés and meal!

Another huge benefit of the venue is that is has onsite accommodation, which means that guests don’t need to travel at the end of the night. The rooms in the main house are beautiful and there is plenty of room in the stable block. We also booked out all of the rooms in the village at the Manor Farm and Neeld Arms B&Bs, which are just a short walk away.

Grittleton House is not a budget venue, but for the quality of the venue, food and service, we felt it was excellent value for money.
