Describe the best wedding that happened at Rise Hall?
It's so hard to pick a favourite as they are all so different and personal to the couple. We've had grooms arriving by camel, a couple who landed in their helicopter, and the celebrity one that ended with a flashmob- amazing!

Where’s the best photo spot at Rise Hall?
There are so many- the grand staircase for that Hollywood style entrance; the West front with its dramatic portico, the morning room with its romantic drapery, the Library with its 3000 books, the picture-perfect feature swing, or the laid back luxe of the velvet four-posters!
Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at Rise Hall?
Absolutely, but we don't name names- the beauty of Rise Hall is its privacy and discretion.
What’s your favourite canapé?
There's a new one the chefs have introduced this year, which is truffled egg served in an egg shell- so simple and yet very moreish!
What’s your favourite midnight treat?
I think you can't beat a hot sandwich after a hard night's partying! Or maybe cheese and biscuits to have with the late night port and brandy in front of the Library fire.
What is Rise Hall most unique feature?
Rise Hall may be the largest stately home for exclusive hire in Yorkshire, but it also feels so warm and friendly. It's grand, but absolutely not pretentious. You can kick off your shoes and make yourself at home. One guest said 'Rise Hall hugs you' which I think is lovely!
What part of your business are you most proud of?
We love seeing our guests enjoy themselves, and we're proud of every event we do. There is no better job!!
