My daughter and now son in law, Lauren and Thomas Fullick had their wedding at Grittleton House a few weeks ago. Like previous comments have said we were totally overwhelmed when we looked round a year ago. When viewing prospective wedding venues nothing else compared, we were absolutely thrilled when Lauren and Tom chose it for their special day.
Just going down the drive and seeing Grittleton takes your breath away, the house and gardens are amazing and to think that a year after first seeing it, we had the most amazing day there. Emma has been brilliant from the start, very helpful and accommodating with wedding meetings etc. Everything ran smoothly, the guests were amazed at the venue, everyone was 'Wow, what a place'. The wedding breakfast was brilliant and good size meals and everyone had a great time. The day went by so quickly, in the evening more guests arrived and Nelson and the team did a fab job of looking after everything and again lots of positive comments about what a special place it was.
We had a local photographer Chris Chard who took some amazing pictures, luckily the weather stayed dry so we managed to get lots of pictures outside and inside but there were endless photo opportunities so it was never a worry. We had the Two Bonnys for the evening, photobooth and they proved very popular with our guests and they had great fun in the booth with the endless props available.
We filled the accommodation the Clock Tower and Stables, it was very reasonably priced and ideal being on site, this included a fab breakfast in the morning.
We would thoroughly recommend Grittleton House to anyone looking for an extra special venue for a special occasion. Thanks once again to Emma, Nelson and the rest of the team x

Wow thank you for your kind and generous words. We would like to add that it was a pleasure to hold Lauren and Tom’s wedding, a beautiful couple who make each other very happy.-
Jon and I would like to thank everyone who helped at Grittleton House on our wedding day. Everyone who came said they had one of the best days of their lives. We most certainly did!
We can't thank everyone enough, yourself, Nelson, Alan, Pam and all the other staff who helped on the day making it less stressful for us so we actually got to enjoy ourselves. Especially beings as Keira wasn't well on the day, Alan and Nelson were so nice in helping to bring up a sofa for her to lay on.
Everyone kept saying how it was like Hogwarts school as when they came into a room and went back out something else had changed lol. Everyone is still talking about it and I Truly believe that's because of the amazing staff on the day. It was the first time both our families met and the atmosphere of the House and having no stress made it such an enjoyable day.
The food was amazing, every plate came out hot.. we've even had a few of our guests trying to replicate the Potato & Leek soup..lol. The evening buffet was just as amazing, Jon wants to personally thank the chef for his wish of cheese and pineapple on sticks...compliments to the Chef(s)... it was such a magical day in every way.
I know this is only a few words but honestly we appreciated everything you all did for us on this special day. The only fault we can actually come up with is that none of you could stop time as the day went by far too quickly! Our own families said they didn't want to go home and wished it had lasted a week..
So a really really BIG Thank You to every one of you who made this a magical day and something we will be talking about from years to come. You're all fabulous people who gave us the best day of our lives.
Loads of love to you all for your kindness xx

We got married at Grittleton House in May, and it was just the best day. I hear so many brides have mini grumbles about things that ‘could have gone better/this was wrong, but it doesn’t matter anyway’, but our day was just perfect. So much of this was because the staff at Grittleton were incredible. Friendly, flexible, yet super professional. We literally felt like King & Queen in our own mansion!
The bridal suite was a beautiful place to get ready in the morning, Emma organised everything with such precision & made everything run on time, Andreas made FANTASTIC food, and Nelson ran everything spectacularly throughout the day.
It was also lovely to be able to stay on site.
All the guests have commented on how amazing the venue was; the house & grounds spoke for itself.
Overall, neither us nor our guests can fault Grittleton, and we’re just sad it can’t be ‘ours’ anymore! We will be forever grateful.

Steph and Jas what a memorable day, topped off with some amazing weather. You all looked fantasic - the personal touches were beautiful such a great relection on both cultures. We can't wait to see the photographs. Thank you for the lovely review, its always a pleasure to work with such lovely couples. [Less]-
We got married at Grittleton a few weeks ago now at the end of May. We had the most incredible day from start to finish.
After looking round so many venues and being disappointed we knew right from walking in that Grittleton was the venue for us.
The team set up everything for us due to there being another wedding the day before. Everything was perfect- despite the weather on the morning and a quick change of ceremony room.
Luckily, by the time the ceremony began the rain had cleared and the sun was shining.
Everyone commented what a beautiful venue for our wedding. At Grittleton we were spoilt with all the lovely photos opportunities both inside and out of the house.
Everything all ran perfectly to plan thanks to Emma and Nelson. The meal and canapés were delicious, along with the evening food!
Thank you to Emma, Nelson and the team who made our day run so smoothly and allowed us to have the wedding we dreamed of.

Thank you Sarah, we loved adding your personal touches, everything looked perfect. Blessed by the sun as well ☀️-
We celebrated our marriage and hosted the wedding reception, breakfast and evening entertainment at Grittleton House last weekend.
Both myself and my (now) husband, have been planning our wedding day for over a year now and as we had 160+ guests with a big portion of that travelling from abroad it was not a small task. From our first meeting to the post-wedding tidying, Emma the wedding coordinator has been an absolute dream to work with. She clearly has an abundance of experience in making sure the wedding day is being executed smoothly and has been pushing us to think about all the details which we would have missed otherwise. She was excellent at coordinating all our suppliers and ensuring we were only contacted if there was no other way her or her staff was able to deal with queries. On the big day itself, we didn’t get involved in any of the details and were able to fully enjoy the day thanks to Emma taking charge and dealing with everything.
We had been to the taster evening to try some of the food they have on the menu and to be honest, we were concerned about the food after the event as we didn’t get to taste any of the food we had on our menu (mainly because we customized ours quite a bit). But OMG… we were blown away by the quality of taste and the presentation. It was very clear that the head chef Andreas had been trained in a Michelin-starred restaurant. All our guests have been raving about the food and our expectations were blown out of the water. The chef was very accommodating with the various dietary requirements our guests had and the waiting staff listened to our instruction of making sure all needs of our guests were taken care of.
There is little I need to stay about the actual house and the grounds as they speak for themselves. Every single time we entered the house over the past year, our breaths have been taken away – and our guests have had a similar reaction, walking around the house with dropped jaws.
We have seen a few negative comments on facebook from one previous wedding, particularly complaining about new potential brides being shown around the house at the morning of someone else’s wedding. To be frank, I chose not to get ready in the morning of my wedding at Grittleton as our church ceremony took place somewhere else but even if I was, I wouldn’t have cared if customers were being shown around the house – it would have even made me happy to think that they were sharing this wonderful moment and maybe got inspired by what we had done.
Emma is the perfect coordinator you want on the day. She is straight to the point and extremely efficient – exactly what you need when you feel lost during month of preparation and during the commotion of the big day!
We really feel emotionally indebted to Emma, the owner Matt, the headchef Andreas and all other staff at Grittleton, as I can honestly say there isn’t one thing I would change about our wedding day and this is truly thanks to them.

Our wedding at Grittleton House at the end of July was quite simply one of the best days of our lives! The venue, food and company were outstanding. Nelson and Kirsty were incredibly attentive throughout our day and evening receptions. Complements to the chefs for their exquisite food - they went out of their way to ensure all dietary needs were catered for. Many thanks to all the staff behind the scenes who made our day the most memorable it could possibly have been.

Congratulations to you both, we loved having you all. Such a wonderful day and a wonderful couple.-
I've just returned home after photographing Angie & Steve's wedding at Grittleton House today. I just want to say what a fantastic place it is. All the staff were friendly, helpful, amenable and very professional. There were a lot of people to cater for today but despite this dinner was very well organized & the food was excellent. The grounds & house are amazing & I got some beautiful shots.
Despite its size Grittleton has an air of calmness about it, and there's a great chilled out atmosphere when you walk around there. Emma, the wedding coordinator, was fab. She & Nelson kept everything running just like clockwork.
Grittleton, you are definitely in my top 5 list of favourite venues to work in.

Thanks Tracy we really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review and for leaving such great feedback. It’s all about great team work. It’s always so much easier and great fun for us when we work with such great suppliers such as yourself. We can’t wait to see the finished photos. [Less]-
We had our fabulous wedding here on Friday 21.09.18 and it was THE most magical day ever. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Emma was fantastic throughout the whole planning process. Nothing was too much trouble and she was always on hand to answer any questions which made it a very relaxed experience as I knew everything would go to plan in her capable hands. The food was absolutely incredible and the personalized cocktails went down a storm along with the Marshfield ice cream treat at the drinks reception. The venue is an absolute gem and we will never get over just how incredible it is. We would like to say a huge thank you to Emma, Nelson, Matt, Vanessa and all the staff for being so amazing and making our retro wedding the best day of our lives ???????? Lots of love Mr & Mrs Brown xxxx

Thanks for bringing so much sunshine to a slightly less sunny day. Weve loved being part of your journey and wish you bot much happines. Best wishes to the NEW Mr and Mrs Brown.-
We could not recommend Grittleton House more highly as a wedding venue. The house itself is just breathtaking and from start to finish the staff were a delight to deal with. The packages are excellent value for money, and having their simply brilliant coordinator Emma by my side during the planning process and the day itself definitely took away a huge amount of the stress and pressure that I had expected to feel. She was extremely efficient throughout (even when on annual leave) and went above and beyond to answer every little question I had. No other venue we saw compared, and our day was perfect.
