Our Favourite North Yorkshire Wedding Venues: A Whimsical Journey for the Soulful Couple
As North Yorkshire wedding photographers, we’ve captured so many whimsical weddings, in truly magical locations. Our adventures through this place we call home have led us to discover venues that perfectly align with the wild, whimsical spirit of our beloved to-be-weds ~ those who seek to blend the wild intimacy of nature with their love of fantasy and folklore. Here, we unveil our favourite North Yorkshire wedding venues that promise to be the perfect backdrop for your Yorkshire wedding.
Howard Court
Howard Court is a beautifully rustic exclusive-use wedding and events venue, situated in rural North Yorkshire with stunning views of the Cleveland Hills and Roseberry Topping. It stands as a testament to enduring elegance and charm.
Once the family dairy farm, the barns have been lovingly re-imagined as a blank canvas venue, ready to add your own whimsical stamp to. There’s space inside and outside for your ceremony and night-do, so you can marry beneath blue skies and dance the night away beneath the stars.
We love this venue for how versatile it is. The options are literally endless and it’s so easy to add your personality to your wedding day here.
Egton Manor
Egton Manor, nestled within the dramatic wild landscape of the North York Moors National Park, is the perfect secluded and romantic setting for your intimate country wedding.
This venue, surrounded by lush forests and a meandering river, invites couples to embrace the untamed spirit of nature. A true country manor, there are so many spaces available for your wedding celebration, each one cosy and perfect for your North Yorkshire wedding.
We love working at Egton Manor, it feels like an informal rural retreat mixed with high end luxury ~ the perfect place for a relaxed, intimate wedding day.
Sneaton Castle
Perched on the edge of the North York Moors, Sneaton Castle is a former nunnery turned wedding venue, which makes for wonderfully fairytale wedding days.
The castle's grand chapel is where you can tie the knot beneath a baroque style ceiling fresco, before celebrating in the walled gardens and rustic barn. The whole castle provides a backdrop that is both majestic and enchanting.
Plus, with Sneaton Castle sitting on the edge of Whitby, it’s only a short drive in to the seaside town, so you can get some epic gothic horror inspired photos on your wedding day.
Kirkleatham Walled Garden
Kirkleatham Walled Garden is a historic walled garden in Redcar, a haven for those who cherish the quiet beauty of nature and the serenity of secluded spaces. This venue is perfect for introverted fantasy nerds, like us, who find solace among the fae-folk and wildflowers.
There’s beauty to be found round every corner here, with a marquee to play host to the bulk of your wedding day, plus elegantly cultivated gardens to explore. There’s a lovely lawn for games and cocktails, and if the weather’s right, you can even get married outside.
This venue is perfect for folks dreaming of a flower filled day of fun for their wedding day.
Hire a Marquee or Tipi
For true freedom to create your own realm for your wedding day, and if the opportunity is available to you, why not hire a marquee or tipi?
A true blank canvas, a maruqee is the perfect way to host a wild and untamed wedding day, free from the rituals and strict timings a wedding venue often subscribes to. Plus (with landowners permission) you can host your wedding anywhere you like, in a space personal to you.
