Nestled within the charming Cotswolds, Grittleton House takes pride of place in the picturesque village of Grittleton, alongside St Marys Church. Accessed via a private tree lined drive, offering sweeping views over the house and grounds, you have the instant wow factor, from the second you arrive. Grittleton is just a short distance from Bath and Bristol with fabulous transport links to London and beyond, it is easily accessible to all. Come for the day, or stay for the weekend, party till late, enjoy breakfast the next day with your family and friends, make our house your house, and memories to last a lifetime. The house is full of outstanding architecture and gothic features, with a stunning backdrop there are plenty of opportunities to capture those magical moments with some wonderful photographs, no need to worry about the weather. The magnificence of the sweeping double staircase is a wonderful sight as you enter the main hall. The beauty of Grittleton House is that, as a family-owned house, it comes with ultimate flexibility. We want your wedding day to be unique, like no other. With your vision and our expertise, we can work together to make your dream a reality. We offer a choice of unique ceremony rooms, within the main house and grounds. Choose from the richness and warmth of the Red Gallery, or the light and airy tones of the Yellow Gallery.

In the glorious summer months enjoy an alfresco ceremony in the Sunken Italian Garden or the spectacular grounds. To complete the perfect package, we also have on site accommodation for approx. 80 guests (including family suites).

Our hearts are bursting with love and joy!
Our hearts are bursting with love and joy after Saturday and we are on absolute cloud 9. So much of that is a credit to you guys and your absolutely breathtaking venue. The compliments I received on the venue, the staff (specific shoutouts to fantastic Nelson and Ben), the food, the drinks, the timings and organisation were completely endless (I heard “best wedding I’ve ever been to” a LOT!). Thank you for giving Jack and I the best day of our lives. We could not have asked for anything better.

The day was magical
From the moment we walked into Grittleton House for the first time, we were in awe of how beautiful it was and Emma was the most knowledgeable and efficient coordinator imaginable. From the open houses to food tasting evenings we built an incredible connection to Grittleton as we planned our wedding. Then the day arrived. It ran like absolutely clockwork, the venue was immaculate, Emma was a guiding light and there is not a single thing I would change.

Simply Gorgeous
My Husband and I got married at Grittleton House back in December. I honestly still feel completely overjoyed when I think about it. The house and staff are gorgeous inside and out, we simply could not have asked for more. Emma and her team made our day run so smoothly and I never felt rushed. The food was delicious and with 8 full tables not including the top was served very quickly. Our guests still rave about the sticky toffee pudding!!! Thank you all again for the most special day the memories and sparkle really will last a lifetime.

The most 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!!!
