History
Originally called the Graydon House, this 1930s Georgian manor was first buit by architects Allan George and Walter Moorehouse for Rupert Bain, a broker/financer. Bain wanted to create a "sportsman's paradise" by completing the 29-room estate with stables for race horses, kennels for hunting dogs, a 9-hole golf course and fountains surrounded by spectacular gardens. It became the center for high society life shortly after until it was redesigned into an elegant reception facility in 2000.
From our first meeting with our Event Coordinator Melissa, to our multitude of questions by email exchanged over 6 months of planning, to being able to pick up items a few days after our wedding, Graydon Hall Manor staff were superb! Melissa was always there to give us excellent advice, a guiding hand, and quick answers same day. The staff were completely attentive on our wedding day. We and our guests were treated like royalty. Everything was taken care of, including some delightful, unexpected extras, like 'groom' napkins for the 2 newlywed husbands, c/o Mango! Such beautiful touches. The venue itself is just gorgeous. We were lucky to have a sunny day where we made full use of the back terrace and gardens, which are so photogenic. But the inside is equally classy, understated and elegant. Graydon Hall gave us the perfect setting and service we wanted for our special day, and we were not disappointed. We will be forever grateful!

Beyond my dreams
The venue and team were like a dream! An absolutely stunning space, well maintained, a flexible and kind team, and delicious catering. I could go on and on about how it exceeded my expectations. The planning team was prompt, patient, kind and made us feel like our ideas and our day were a priority. We enjoyed every moment of the experience and our guests were blown away by the experience. I would highly recommend and would host another event here.

We held a same-sex wedding at Graydon Hall Manor and everything was excellent. Lisa Shaw was our wedding planner and did an amazing job at guiding us through the whole process. She is very attentive to details, has a wealth of experience & connections and easy to work with. Our guests were very impressed with the quality of it all and enjoyed themselves immensely.

My husband and I recently had our wedding at Graydon Hall Manor and we cannot thank Madison enough for all her help. She was truly fantastic and awesome to work with. She made our experience delightful. She was so charming, accommodating and professional. It was really a pleasure meeting her.
The wedding was perfect and all our guests complimented on the food, service and ambiance of Graydon Hall. They were all as blown away as we were. The event ran so smoothly and we both enjoyed ourselves very much. We know this was possible because of all the work Madison and her team put in behind the scenes.
Thank you for giving us the best experience! We are so happy we chose Graydon Hall and got Madison as our event manager. :) It was the best decision!
We would definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful Manor with outstanding service and food! You will not be disappointed and your expectations will be exceeded.
