Blakelands Country House & Barns

As our chosen venue for 'The Wedding Of The Century' I am thrilled to announce that EVERYTHING about this place is just SO SPECIAL! Since the early days of our initial walk around .... Through the planning process .... To the last minute organization ..... The staff at this beautiful location, have treated us like we were the only couple to ever grace their doors. The entire wedding was dealt with 'in-house'... & the package was extremely competitive in today's market. Compliments to the chef & kitchen staff .... Who provided stunning hot food & drinks throughout our day & into the following morning. The accommodation is EXACTLY of a standard that what one would expect of such a breathtaking establishment. Our whole ceremony hinged on the fact that Blakeland's had a barn setting .... As our theme was reflective of our favourite time the year ... Autumn. Whoever was responsible for dressing it, couldn't have imagined how close to our fairytale vision they were. The many years of competence & experience are evident & are a testament to the quality provided by all. To summarize ...... Anyone wishing to tie the knot in style in the Staffordshire area, should seriously consider this place! Blakeland's will forever be in our hearts ..... Because without Blakeland's ..... We wouldn't have the numerous wonderful memories to treasure!

Our day went without any mistakes thanks to this venue. The staff are friendly and professional, and food is amazing, the venue is just so beautiful. So many comments from our guests about how fantastic everything about this venue was. A huge thank you to Paul, Heather, Chloe and the team for making our day as wonderful as it was x

Where do we begin? Just the best day ever! We are still on cloud nine after our wedding on the 1st October and we cannot thank the team at the Blakelands enough! We had been planning our day for over 3 years and we wish we could do it all over again. The venue as a whole is just stunning, the staff were kind, calm and caring and their efforts went above and beyond to make our day so personal. The food was just amazing, we had the Leek and Potato soup, Roast Turkey and Sticky toffee pudding (with ice cream of course) with the Pizza oven for our evening food which was a huge hit with our guests! We had the heavens open on us as we were about to be seated for outdoor ceremony and the staff managed to turn everything around for an indoor ceremony in just 10 minutes! We are actually so happy it rained as our ceremony indoors was so warm, cosy and intimate and it gave us a laugh seeing all our guests mad dashes for cover! Our wedding day was even more special as we had so many family members travel in from all corners of the world (everywhere from the USA to New Zealand) and people saw each other for the first time in 20+ years which made things even more special and the Blakelands was the perfect place to host our wedding with all of the onsite bedrooms! All of the guests had nothing but positive words and love for the venue. I am lucky to be a wedding photographer knowing that I get to come back here next month to shoot a wedding and hopefully will be coming back for more in the future. The Blakelands will hold a special place in our hearts for ever. Thank you and all our love from, The Quinton-Coles

I can’t find the words to describe just how incredible Blakelands Country House is. From looking around the venue, throughout the planning and organisation to our special special day, this venue and staff were absolutely more than we could have ever wished for. They say your wedding day is the biggest and one of the best days of your life, and that is so true. Not just marrying the love of your life but where it took place and the build up to it and Blakelands made the whole thing so incredible and enjoyable we will never ever be able to repay them. No question was ever silly to ask, they were able to answer them so kindly, professional and efficiently always making sure our minds were put at ease in the build up. If I could do our wedding day again, I would tomorrow and I know Blakelands team would still get it spot on again. The staff really understand their couples and that’s due to the time they give and the relationships they build. The food and drink was so wonderful on the day, many of our families and friends have said “it’s the best wedding we have ever been too” “the food was amazing so tasty and filling” Blakelands is worth every penny, bridal loft prep to the honeymoon suite afterwards. Don’t hesitate to book for your special day, I can promise you the team wouldn’t let you down and the photo opportunities in the venue is just endless. You won’t regret it! Thank you so much Blakelands and the team we will hold you close to our hearts forever x

We are so pleased that we chose to get married at Blakelands. The day was everything we hoped for and more, thanks to the great communication leading up to our day, and the organisation and efficiency from the team on our big day. The grounds are beautiful, the food and drink was amazing and the accommodation was lovely. Our friends and family commented on the beautiful venue and the friendliness of the staff.
