    Incredible wedding venue and team

    We had the most amazing wedding day at Blakelands recently. The whole team were fantastic at making sure we had the best time and everything ran smoothly. In the lead up to the wedding and planning, no question was too much and the team were fantastic at helping us to plan our dream day. The day itself was just incredible and we couldn’t have wished for a better venue. All of our guests raved about the venue and in particular the food, which was really important to us when planning our day. The food was delicious and generous portions so everyone was full and happy!! We knew as soon as we viewed Blakelands that it was the venue for us but the day itself went above and beyond anything we could have imagined. Thank you to the Blakelands team!

    Outstanding venue

    We knew from the moment we visited Blakelands on the first open day that this venue was the place for us. The venue is absolutely stunning only enhanced by the family who run it and the staff they have working for them. We had so many comments on how beautiful it was and how great the food was and considering the forecast wasn't looking great we were still able to have the garden wedding we were hoping for. We can't thank Blakelands enough for everything they did for us to make our day perfect. Also a huge thank you to Chloe who was outstanding in the lead up to the wedding, who was there to help no matter what. We had an amazing day.

    Incredible venue - Sept 2024 Wedding

    Absolutely amazing experience from the start of the wedding planning process to the wedding day. Staff are so helpful and can’t do enough for you before and during the wedding day. Very responsive and friendly throughout. We were able to make our day our own including providing all of our own decor however plenty of options for decor provided by Blakelands. We felt completely reassured and looked after on the day - they all make sure the day runs seemlessly whilst also making the experience so personal. Beautiful venue with incredible food! Can’t recommend Blakelands enough!

    Amazing Experience end to end

    We had a fantastic experience with The Blakeland's Estate from start to finish... it was only the second venue that we viewed but we knew it was the one straight away! It had everything we were looking for, including a great indoor and outdoor space, onsite accommodation and lovely staff. We enjoyed the fact that Blakeland's were so flexible in all aspects of our day, when it came to choices around numbers of guests (including a few last min additions), choices of food and drinks, stationary, the list goes on. Even on the day itself where we were a bit worried about the weather, Chloe and the team were so relaxed about the fact that we could change to an indoor ceremony at the last minute if needed (which we didn't, but it was settling to know!). We are so pleased that we chose The Blakeland's Estate as our wedding venue and would absolutely recommend to couples looking in the future! Thanks for everything, Fran & Zak x

    Phenomenal!

    Words will never be enough to thank Blakelands for absolutely EVERYTHING on our wedding day 08.08.24! From our first viewing, we knew that Blakelands was the venue for us. All of the staff are absolutely amazing and we couldn’t have asked for anything more! They always replied so quickly, answered all our questions and made us feel so calm, assured and comfortable throughout the whole process! We were inundated with compliments about every aspect of our wedding day from the venue, the suppliers, the food and most importantly the staff - nothing was too much trouble and we truly felt like part of the Blakelands family. We are eternally grateful for everyone at Blakelands and thank them from the bottom of our hearts for everything. We hope that we can return for other special occasions in the future!

    Excellent venue for everything you might want

    The Blakelands Estate is a beautiful venue with everything you need for your day with lots of flexibility too. The ceremony areas are beautiful and there are heaps of lovely spots for pictures. The team are completely invested in delivering the day that you want and work tirelessly to make sure the day goes seamlessly. The in-house catering was delicious. We had everything we wanted in a venue that was keen to deliver, we had the best day!

    Our wedding at Blakelands

    Blakelands was the perfect venue for our wedding. From our first viewing we knew it was the one for us. The grounds and house are simply stunning and every member of staff goes above and beyond to make your special day perfect.

    The best day of our lives

    Oh Blakelands, what can we say. You were simply amazing. The whole thing was just magical. The venue itself is beautiful, before booking (after our initial visit) I actually said that “I’m not getting married, unless it’s at Blakelands “ ….it worked and oh my it paid off! The food was incredible, we loved having the flexibility of a sit down buffet where we could pick from a number of different themes and packages.
    The team were brilliant, nothing was too much trouble. They were so so helpful with tweaking things so it fitted with our theme a bit more and fetching Prosecco when a glass was needed.
    Full cooked breakfast the next day was a particular highlight that many of our guests loved…oh and the fish and chips were amazing too.
    We’ve got so many amazing memories of the day and now we just need some more of our friends to get married there so we can experience it as a guest!
    To all potential bookers, go book it, you won’t regret it!

    Incredible Venue 🤍

    We had the most incredible wedding day at Blakelands in May 2024.
    From the moment we came for our viewing, we knew this was the venue for us. All of the little personal details they consider, the caring nature of all of the staff, their willingness to be flexible and make the day totally tailored to you. They are the most organised and relaxed team too which really helps put your mind at ease and know the day is going to run smoothly!
    The grounds are stunning and so many different backdrops for pictures.
    The food was incredible! So many compliments on the portion sizes and the standard of food.
    We could not have wished for a more perfect day and cannot thank Blakelands and the whole team enough for everything!
