Our wedding day was truly the most special day of our lives! The best wedding venue we have ever been to and our guests loved it. The views are stunning, the chapel is amazing, the food was great, the outdoor drinks area & the wedding room are all perfect. The bridal lodge for the night before was beautiful too! Special shout out to staff Lizzie and Peter. We are ready to do it all over again and it’s only been 9 days since we got married. Just to note that prior to the wedding other staff were very difficult to get hold of, but once Lizzie took over as wedding coordinator then she always got back to us straight away. Also some of the bedrooms that haven’t been renovated

From our initial enquiry the team at Grand Villa Heights could not do enough for us, they looked after everything! Even the small details. Our day was the best day of our lives. Our guests were thrilled, the views from the chapel, games on the lawn, champagne reception all of it was spectacular..we had the BBQ extravaganza and it was amazing, then churros and dips later. The staff were excellent, I have to give a massive shout out for our beautiful wedding coordinator Evie, WOW , she was by our side from the start and on our special day to make sure everything went smoothly. The coordination by the master of ceremonies was second to none. He was friendly and witty, he made sure we had a few minutes every now and again to take in the day, it's those special extra touches that make the difference. Thank you to Jackie in the accomodation team who went above and beyond to make sure every guest had the most beautiful rooms. Thank you to you all for the most incredible day that we will alw

Our wedding at grand villa heights was everything we had hoped for and so much more. From the very beginning of our planning, Evie our wedding coordinator was brilliant. She was always so quick to respond to and questions we had and made the whole planning process feel so much less stressful. On the day itself, Andy, our wedding manager was absolutely outstanding. From the evening before our wedding right through until the end of the day nothing was ever too much trouble. He kept everything running seamlessly, made sure we always knew what was happening next and allowed us to completely relax and enjoy the day. He truly when above and beyond and we can’t thank him enough. Andrew, our master of ceremonies was also fantastic. He kept our guests informed and on track throughout the day, ensuring everything flowed perfectly with a friendly and professional approach. The venue itself is simply breathtaking the views are incredible and the decor throughout the hotel created the most beautiful setting for a wedding. We couldnt have asked for a more perfect back drop for our special day. During the early stages of planning we did have a few issues regarding room allocations and pricing. However these were dealt with quickly, professionally and smoothly. And once resolved everything else was faultless. Thank you to everyone at grand villa heights for making our wedding so special.

Wow… where do we even begin? 🤍✨ Grand Villa Heights is simply something else. We had the best day of our lives, and every single one of our guests has told us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and the best venue they’ve ever experienced. Everyone was absolutely blown away, and so many people have said that no other venue compares. From the moment we booked, the whole team was incredible. Evie was amazing throughout the planning process, helping us create the perfect day and always being there to answer any questions. The handover to John, our Wedding Manager, the night before was seamless, and from that moment on we knew we were in the best hands. John, Steve our Master of Ceremonies, and every single member of staff worked tirelessly to make sure everything ran perfectly. We were genuinely treated like royalty from start to finish. On the morning of the wedding, my now husband was feeling stressed and nervous (I had absolutely no idea while I was getting ready upstairs!), but he hasn’t stopped talking about how incredible John was. He went above and beyond to keep him calm and make sure everything was taken care of. Knowing someone was looking after him meant so much. Steve was absolutely fantastic too, keeping everyone entertained, making sure guests knew where they needed to be, and ensuring the whole day flowed effortlessly. What really stood out were all the little touches. We were served our food and drinks first during the wedding breakfast, we received our canapés and drinks first during the reception, John arranged drinks to be brought to my bridal suite while I was getting ready, and after the ceremony we were given five precious minutes alone together before the confetti shot. Those few quiet moments are memories we’ll treasure forever. Even one of the newer bar staff members kindly helped carry my dress so I could have more photographs without it getting dirty. He told me how much he already loved working there, and it really reflected the incredible atmosphere the whole team creates. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking, but it’s the people who truly make it special. Their attention to detail, professionalism, warmth and genuine care made our wedding day even better than we could ever have imagined. From the very first time we visited Grand Villa Heights, we knew there wasn’t going to be another venue

We won our wedding here at Grand Villa Heights through the radio. From start to finish organising our wedding was super smooth thanks to Evie our wedding coordinator. The staff were fabulous, from our initial meeting/viewing the venue, arranging a date to the final details everything felt super smooth and easy. We stayed in the lodge the night before the wedding which was beautifully decorated. The honeymoon suite was also absolutely stunning. All of our guests commented on how smoothly the day ran, we had absolutely no stress all day thanks to the staff. John the wedding manager was brilliant on the day, ensuring our day ran smoothly without a hitch! When it came to the evening time a huge thanks to Andy he was absolutely fantastic, he didn’t stop the whole evening making sure our day was special. The master of ceremonies had everyone charmed! He was brilliant in making sure everyone was happy especially us. The food was absolutely delicious, everyone commented on how amazing the food was from the wedding breakfast to the evening Munchies, everything was spot on. The bar staff were fantastic everyone had a drink in their hands the entire day. The whole Grand Villa Heights staff were amazing we can’t fault any of them, they made our day unforgettable, we will treasure it forever. We can’t wait to come back! If you are thinking of booking a wedding here we would highly recommend! The Photo Booth also needs a

When we booked our wedding it was run by Raven Hall. When apartment group took over there was a few issues but the new team sorted it out. Big thanks to our wedding coordinator Evie who was on hand to sort things out, Also a big thank you to Donna at Apartment group head office who helped sort a few things out for us. We stayed over the night before the final meeting with Evie, once the plans were finalised we were a lot happy. The day before the wedding we stayed over, the bride stayed in the night before villa while groom stayed in the main hotel. The bride had charcuterie boards in the villa and groom had a meal in the restaurant in a private part of the restaurant. The final meeting was complete and the day started. Stephen the master of ceremonies made sure the day run on time and no hiccups. Stephen was friendly and approachable and did such an amazing job. Andy is another name to thank he did great with the whole day, keeping the bride calm, from the amazing food service. Another thank you to all the bar staff, kitchen staff and waiter staff who did an amazing job with great food, great drinks and very friendly on the day. The honeymoon suite is beautiful, we didn’t spend much time in there but the bed was comfy the bathroom is beautiful. Overall if you are looking for a venue with amazing views, staff who friendly and make your day that little special then book Grand Villa Heights. You will not be disappointed. This place will hold special memories f

We owe everything to the lovely Andrew and John for the care and effort they both put into our wedding day. It ran so smoothly and the advice and confidence they had about the day put our mind at ease. John set up the rooms for us just as I pictured. Andrew was a godsend and kept checking throughout the day on us. In fact all staff were fabulous and need recognition. A special mention to our coordinator Evie, who without the wedding would have gone into disarray. She was super organised and nothing was ever too much trouble, even with my millions of questions she had answers and solutions to them all. We definitely need to give a special mention to the kitchen. My word it was mouth watering! The portions were perfect, the flavour immaculate and the presentation was gorgeous. All of our guests commented on the food and were all so impressed, as were we! You can rest easy knowing the staff will go out of their way to make your day so special. The venue is stunning and the view is unreal. Grand Villa Heights is a beautiful place to get married and an unforgettable exper

We recently had our wedding at Grand Villa Heights and it exceeded every expectation we had. The absolute stunning views speak for themselves and provided the most beautiful backdrop for our special day. From the moment we booked, the communication was excellent throughout, giving us complete confidence that everything was in hand. A huge thank you to our wedding coordinator, Evie, who was amazing from start to finish. She was always helpful, organised, responsive, and made the entire planning process feel effortless. On the day itself, our MOC, Andrew, couldn't do enough for us. He went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and that we could simply relax and enjoy every moment. His willingness to help with anything we needed was truly exceptional. The food was incredible and received so many compliments from our guests. Every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better venue or team to help create such a perfect day. Thank you to everyone involved for making our wedding so memo
