Blackwell Grange Full Description
In 2016 Blackwell Grange opened its doors as an exclusive-use wedding venue for your special day sharing every wonder of the listed buildings and the land, from the characterful heritage to the tranquil Cotswold location, featuring contemporary, elegant interior design and exceptional attention to detail. Lovingly restored, the 16th century Thatch Barn is licensed for civil ceremonies with features including the original oak beams and barn doors, a magnificent open fire and ambient lighting. You can also choose to tie the knot at the Arbor, an exceptionally picturesque setting located in the breathtaking gardens of Blackwell Grange. Dining and dancing take place in the contemporary Orchard Barn, bathed in light from its floor-to-ceiling windows and doors and featuring a stylish bar and helical staircase, impressive dining space and mezzanine ‘chill out’ area. The on-site catering and events team at Blackwell Grange, working with you to create an exceptional wedding breakfast that is unique to your special day. Delicious, fun and theatrical, we want this to be the most spectacular family meal you have ever enjoyed. Whatever you need, your dedicated planners will be on hand to help you create your perfect day. As the sun goes down, soak up the landscape, and enjoy the brand new on-site accommodation, 1604, that offers ten carefully designed en-suite bedrooms accommodating up to 22 guests including the bride and groom, and is located just a stone’s throw away from all the fun and festivities in the Orchard Barn. You and your loved ones can stay, swathed in the idyll of Blackwell Grange until morning, enjoying breakfast together and reminiscing about your wedding day before you leave.

A joy to photograph
As a wedding photographer, I visit many wedding venues around Warwickshire and Blackwell Grange really is such a fantastic setting for a wedding. The staff strike the perfect balance of being attentive and organised making sure the day runs seamlessly whilst remaining subtle and creating a really relaxed atmosphere. From a photography perspective, the venue is a joy to photograph. Every corner is beautiful and the thatched barn really is something special. Thank you so much for having me!

We had an incredible day
Blackwell Grange is a simply stunning venue, the details and the care taken to design the venue and the accommodation is amazing. The planning stages with the team was thoroughly enjoyable and we were put at ease every step of the way. The team are so helpful, friendly and are experts at what they do. On the day so many of our guests commented on the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. The quality of the food and drinks was absolutely amazing & really added to the day.

This venue is a dream
Gorgeous layout. Very well decorated with outstanding grounds. The building flows brilliantly, and you're never far from your guests or amenities. The staff really do go the extra mile and look after the day as if it was their own. Great work everyone!

Cannot recommend this venue highly enough
The venue is beautiful and the staff are so helpful and made everything so easy. They were on hand at every step of the process, from booking right through to picking up our decorations the day after the wedding. They were always happy to answer questions (and I had a lot) and do whatever they can to make your special day go smoothly. They even let me arrive in a tractor! We cannot recommend this venue highly enough, very professional and very helpful. Plus the food is amazing!

Amazing venue and staff
We got married here at the end of October and had the best day! The venue is beautiful and the staff are so helpful and made everything so easy. They were on hand at every step of the process, from booking right through to picking up our decorations the day after the wedding. They were always happy to answer questions (and I had a lot) and do whatever they can to make your special day go smoothly. They even let me arrive in a tractor! We cannot recommend this venue highly enough, very professional and very helpful. Plus the food is amazing! Thank you to all the Blackwell Grange staff!

The perfect day
Blackwell Grange was not only the most beautiful venue we found, but the staff on the day were incredible. There were a few hiccups (unwell guests and dirt on the wedding dress before the ceremony…) but the team could not have done more to help and went completely above and beyond. Ash and Carol, in particular, where incredible. If you are lucky enough to have your wedding in this venue and have these two running your day, you are in for the perfect wedding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Describe the best wedding that happened at Blackwell Grange?

It's impossible to just pick one!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

It is your day, don’t worry about trying to please everyone, and enjoy it - we are here to take the stress out of it and help you every step of the way. Take as many one on one moments with your other half as you can throughout the day as it’s such a whirlwind and you will remember those little intimate moments forever.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

There are so many personal touches on every wedding, which makes them all so special in their own right. However, if I had to choose one it would be Grandma’s brooch attached to the bouquet as the Bride’s “something old & borrowed”. It is such a lovely sentiment, especially if they are unable to be there on the day in person.

Describe Blackwell Grange in 5 adjectives

Exclusive, photogenic, intimate, exceptional service and unforgettable

Where’s the best photo spot at Blackwell Grange?

This is a tough one as there are so many beautiful photo locations! Our favourite has to be either our Moon Gate or Arbour. The Arbour is beautiful for outdoor ceremonies but equally a great photo spot. The sun sets behind it over the stunning scenery and it also has festoon lighting which is great for some amazing evening shots! The Moon Gate also has the addition of the beautiful scenery behind it which is also great for sunset photos….we do love the Cotswold sunset!

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at Blackwell Grange?

Every couple is treated like a VIP here at Blackwell Grange, so in our eyes everybody is extra special to us!

What’s your favourite canapé?

This has to be the hardest of questions as we LOVE a canapé here at Blackwell. Our personal favourite has to be the Crispy Risotto Balls of Sundried Tomato and Mozzarella with Basil Pesto. It is an overall crowd pleaser! Suitable for your vegetarian guests but equally a surprising favourite amongst meat lovers too.

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

PIZZA! With our outdoor kitchen housing a beautiful pizza oven, wood-fired pizza is our hands-down favourite evening food! Who doesn’t love a slice of pizza! Drink in one hand, pizza in the other, throwing some shapes on the dancefloor… now that’s our kind of party!

What is Blackwell Grange most unique feature?

The sound system! Bespoke-made especially for our venue with over 360 speakers under one linen cloth in the ceiling and connected to inbuilt speakers throughout the venue (even in the toilets so no one will miss out one tunes!) We also have so many unique photo opportunities, including a backdrop of the huge thatch roof, the beautiful Moon Gate which is framed with scented roses and a full-glass bar area with views for days!

What part of your business are you most proud of?

Our team, they're simply wonderful!
