A truly amazing wedding

Growing up I always knew I wanted to get married over the Yorkshire moors as it was my happy place and Danby castle was my dream venue, our dream became a reality on the 9th of March 2025 (also mine and my partners anniversary date which made it so much more special) Danby listened to every request I had and went above and beyond for us, our wedding coordinator Holly and Britney and all the other staff were incredible and made us feel so special throughout our day. It will always be the highlight of our lives.

I attended a friends wedding reception here last week, it's the perfect venue from the setting to the friendly staff. I can understand why so many people fall in love when they visit. Also, having lost a bag during the day, the staff were so nice checking in to make sure we had located it - thanks again :D

Disappointing experience

Unfortunately not a good experience despite it being a beautiful venue. My friend had a bad experience with leah the co ordinator. She made her feel uncomfortable and awkward. Not how a bride should feel. My feedback would be don’t be pretentious. Treat people like you would like to be treated yourself.

Danby Castle Wedding Barns are the venue to choose!

Where do we even begin? Our wedding day at Danby Castle Wedding Barns was nothing short of perfection. The venue itself is breathtaking, and every single detail was executed flawlessly. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how incredible everything was—the atmosphere, the stunning setting, and the seamless flow of the day. A huge thank you to Leah and Harry, who were absolute stars. From the morning preparations to the evening celebrations, they orchestrated everything with such care and precision that we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Their attention to detail and calming presence made the day truly unforgettable. The food was hearty and absolutely delicious. The pies were incredible, and the team serving throughout the night were exceptional. Every member of staff went above and beyond to ensure the experience was perfect for everyone. A special thank you to Lauren, who helped us book the venue back in March, and the rest of the incredible team at Danby Castle. Your dedication, passion, and hard work shone through every step of the way, making our wedding day better than we could have ever imagined. We cannot recommend Danby Castle Wedding Barns enough. If you’re looking for a venue that’s magical, professional, and utterly perfect, this is it. With love and heartfelt thanks, The New Mr & Mrs Tannahill

Better than I could ever have dreamt it would be

The staff at Danby Castle Barn are incredibly attentive and professional, ensuring that every detail of your special day is meticulously planned and executed. The venue provides exclusive use. The barn itself is beautifully restored, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere for your wedding breakfast and evening reception. With stunning views of the surrounding countryside, it creates a stunning picturesque backdrop for your wedding photos. Whether you're looking for an intimate indoor ceremony in the historic Court Room or an outdoor celebration on the lawn, Danby Castle Barn caters to all your needs. I lost count of the number of guests who asked me where I had found the beautiful venue and that it was the best wedding food they had ever eaten! Overall, Danby Castle Barn is a fantastic venue that combines natural beauty, historic charm, and exceptional service to create the wedding of your dreams.

Absolute dream wedding!

The venue is stunning, everything we ever dreamed of. Nestled away in the middle of the north yorkshire moors felt like we had the world to ourselves with our friends and family. The staff cannot do enough, set up my DIY whilst I got ready in the most incredible get ready room. The package included reception drinks, canapés, breakfast and wine & evening buffet. The food is amazing and plenty of it. The children had the best time playing in the ruins throughout the day and this is closed off in the evening to keep them safe. There's plenty of space for then to play and explore. I'm so glad we chose Danby Castle...can we do it all again please!
