Description

More than a wedding day, Priory Barn & Cottages gives you the time and space to turn your wedding into an unforgettable few days with the people you love most.

Priory Barn & Cottages is a beautifully private, exclusive use wedding venue in the Yorkshire countryside, designed for couples who want their wedding to feel more than just one day.

At the heart of Priory is our characterful barn, complemented by a contemporary marquee, beautiful grounds and seven individually styled cottages sleeping up to 29 of your closest friends and family.

Your time at Priory begins the day before your wedding, giving you the chance to settle in, decorate, rehears and enjoy the anticipation without feeling rushed. Whether you gather everyone for a relaxed supper, open a bottle of something special or simply spend the evening together in the cottages, your wedding celebrations can begin from the moment you arrive.

On your wedding day, choose from a selection of beautiful ceremony spaces before celebrating with up to 120 guests. For intimate ceremonies to spectacular marquee receptions, Priory provides a wonderfully versatile backdrop that can be styled to feel completely your own.

And when the final song has played, there's no need for your closest guests to disappear into taxis. With seven cottages on-site, up to 29 guests can stay just a few steps away.

The following morning, there's time for one last coffee, breakfast and catch-up before everyone heads home.

Three days. One private venue. And plenty of time to enjoy it.

Name of Wedding Contact: Amy & Kat

One of our favourite things about Priory is getting to know our couples and seeing their wedding plans come to life. From the first viewing through to the final song of the night, we'll be here to guide you, answer your questions, recommend brilliant suppliers and make sure everything runs smoothly. No two Priory weddings are ever quite the same - and that's exactly how we like it. We can't wait to hear what you're planning.

Amy, Serena and everyone at Priory Cottages, Just a little note to say thank you for all of your time and support in making our day so special and memorable! Planning a wedding from over 3000 miles away isn't something I would recommend unless they have as good a team as yours on hand to help! Thanks for everything - truly the best day!

Dear Serena, Just wanted to thank you and your staff for the wonderful day we all had celebrating the marriage of Thomas and Charlotte. I can only imagine how much work was involved to ensure they had the perfect day. The setting is the dining area took my breath away. Everything laid out in perfect detail. The food was spectacular and I received so many compliments on the beautiful venue. Thank you again to you and all your staff. It's a day I will never forget.

To Serena, Kat and everyone else at Priory Cottages, THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for everything you did for us to make our wedding on 15th July the best day of our lives.

Simply the best venue from start to finish! Simply the best venue from start to finish!
After visiting many venues all over Yorkshire, from the moment we drove up the tree line drive we knew Priory Barn and Cottages was special! The team was faultless, their knowledge was endless and they quickly responded to all our questions throughout our planning process. Having the ability to provide accommodation for our guests was important to us and the seven cottages surrounding the courtyard allowed us to do this without people having to travel on the day! The barn and marquee was a perfect backdrop giving us the ability to put our personalised stamp on every aspect of our day! I would recommend Priory Barn and Cottages to everyone!

The most amazing day!The most amazing day!
I attending the most amazing wedding at the priory cottages celebrating my sisters wedding! Was so nice to be able to make a full weekend of it and really get to appreciate the beautiful surroundings and cosy cottages at the priory. Being able to have access accommodation the night before meant we got to have a BBQ after the rehearsal dinner with the brides and grooms closest friends and family which was a very special way to commence the celebrations. Serena made sure everything ran so smoothly on the day, and you could see she took any stress away from the bride and groom so they could really enjoy everyone moment of it. All the different areas, barn upstairs, barn downstairs, marquee, surprise dance floor and the amazing outdoor space meant as guests we kept getting new beautiful surprises as the day went on from the ceremony, drinks reception, wedding breakfast and evening party! Since my sisters wedding I have attended as a guest at other weddings too (most recent being 2022) and the standard hasn’t dropped at all, if anything it has got even better as they continue to make upgrades. Would highly recommend for any couple wanting a stress free, beautiful day where guest are fully entertained!I attending the most amazing wedding at the priory cottages celebrating my sisters wedding!
