The best day of our lives

Blackwell Grange Hotel was the best choice of venue we could have ever have picked. Deborah the wedding coordinator was so attentive and helpful throughout the whole process. On the day everything ran so smoothly thanks to the staff and Margaret the events coordinator. We could not have asked a better day. We would wholeheartedly recommend this venue to all.
