"Now that our wedding is over and the dust has settled, a thank you. The setting was fabulous, the marquee and furniture excellent and we enjoyed “The Royal Flush”! Your support beforehand was first class and your helpful suggestions were well timed and useful. Your attention to detail throughout the day was immaculate. Thank you a million Greg.

"We wanted to thank you again. It really did turn out to be our dream day; in fact several people commented that it was the best wedding they'd ever been to! Not only was the venue perfect but your help and guidance were invaluable. As well as your great advice and guidance during the weeks before, you also achieved a perfect balance on the day of being in the background, and helping out by doing the right things at the right time. Several people also commented on how brilliant you were at this. Bruton and Gants Mill now feel like our special place."

"How can we begin to thank you for what turned out to be an utterly fantastic party. It was a superb day in a superb setting, and you and your team were terrific. We had a beautiful party in a truly delightful setting. Everybody has asked us how we found you and have heaped superlatives and lavish praise, like “the setting is better than the Monet gardens in France!”, “stupendous party!”, “you made our day”, etc.   Greg, a huge thank you – we enjoyed our own party and we know everybody else did!!  "    Bruce & Annie

"Gants Mill was recommended to us by a friend who only wished Greg had been around when she got married…..and we weren’t disappointed.  The setting is magical, with the gardens so colourful and beautifully kept, a stunning backdrop for that perfect photo.  Greg – your passion for your business shone. You helped to make sure our day was faultless and we thank you for that.  Our guests have given so many compliments since, from the venue to the caterers you kindly recommended.

 We will always remember our special day with such happiness."      Laura & Steve

"We just wanted to thank you so much for all your hard work on our wedding day and on the lead up to the wedding. In all our dealings with you we have found you to be professional, organised, courteous, fun, enthusiastic and a thoroughly nice bloke! We could not have asked for a more perfect location for our reception, nor a more perfect MC!"   Lucy & James

Then move on to your reception in our own traditional marquee, decorated in accordance with your imagination and inspiration.

"What a wonderful day we had at your beautiful Mill!  It was a really fantastic day made easy by your great gift of making everyone feel at ease and welcome. The whole setting was absolutely first class and from all the notes and letters we have received from our guests they all agree too.  Staying in the bridal suite was also an absolute treat in a lovely home, and you should all feel a great sense of pride and achievement in what you do."
Paul & Julie

After the wedding, the bride and groom can retreat to our comfortable, spacious bridal suite. In the morning, wake gently to the soothing sound of the mill waterfall before enjoying a delicious breakfast.   The bridal bedroom in the farmhouse.

"Thank you very much for the wedding day for my son Nick and new daughter Lucy last Saturday. It was fantastic and we are still re-living the day. You are a terrific host and organizer and your wife was great with the kids.  My wife and I had such a lovely time she said "Shall we get divorced and get re-married at Gants Mill?". If ever a wedding party are short of guests give us a ring and we will gladly come to make up the numbers. We wish you great success and will recommend any one we know to get married at Gants Mill."  Steve

ACCESSIBILITY

Parking for wheelchair users and the slightly infirm is signposted.  There are no steps from this car park to the garden, marquee or conservatory. There are firm wide paths round the garden for wheelchairs, and the whole garden can be seen without using steps.   There is a wheelchair accessible loo, which is reached across a stretch of mown level lawn.  The narrow entrance to the mill is not accessible to wheelchairs.  Those who do not wish to climb the stairs in the mill can enjoy the first half of the mill tour, which is on the ground floor. This is the part of the tour where there is most to see, and most action.
Gants Mill is the most charming setting for your dream country wedding.  

As a family concern we are committed to making your day relaxing, enjoyable and one you will remember always.

Make a viewing appointment, as we would love to show you romantic Gants Mill.
