The team at Cranage were absolutely perfect from the start! Laura was fantastic and the perfect mix of being excited for us but also really intelligent and on the ball with planning and support. After so many speeches about their Instagram portfolios and paid extras from other venues, Laura was a breath of fresh air from being able to answer all our questions and steer us in the right direction for our needs. We felt supported through the whole planning process and on the day, the team were flawless. David and his on the day team know weddings inside out and kept us moving along so us and our guests could focus on having a great time! The venue is beautiful, the food was fantastic, and the cocktail re

From the day we enquired as to availability to the big day itself we were never disappointed by the service we received. The venue is perfect - plenty of rooms for everyone to stay, the choice to get married inside or out, gorgeous grounds for the perfect photographs, and plenty of space. The staff are amazing; nothing was too much trouble and they made us feel like their only bride and groom (despite us getting married on the bank holiday and finding out afterwards they had 4 weddings in 4 days!) We had around 60 guests stay over and enjoyed a fabulous breakfast the next day and they were all raving about the hotel - t

You and your events team were exceptional, from the moment Geoff and I met you Rachel, we just knew we wanted our wedding at Cranage Estate. You were are so lovely, friendly and very professional and nothing has been too much trouble to you or your team, when I have had a question etc. To see you also on our wedding day was lovely. Thank you also for finding a room for Geoff to store his pride and joy in (motorbike). It was such a great touch to have the banqueting manager contact me prior to our wedding day to introduce himself. David - you were Fab and the team you had working on the day were great, again you were all so friendly, professional, and all of our wedding guests commented on you and your team and echoed what we have just sa
