AMAZING DAY

I would just like to say the special day for my daughter and new son in law was just fantastic and could not have gone better. It all ran so smoothly and you and your staff were so nice and you really do deserve the highest praise possible. Your team were so professional and made all guests feel welcome and at ease not to mention the food it was amazing!! I hope you continue to grow and reach great heights with your venture for many years to come as we will certainly recommend you

We loved our experience...

After looking at loads of wedding venues and hearing such good things about Skitby we enquired about having a viewing and the wonderful Katherine got back to us and booked us in. We then visited for a meal and that was the decider. Katherine was amazing from start to finish, she helped us with decor ideas, meal and drinks options and worked with us to make everything just perfect on the day. Katherine was always on hand to answer our questions (especially a million questions from a nervous groom on the morning of the wedding!) and guide us through the process. Nothing was too much trouble and everything went so smoothly on the big day, all of the team were lovely and helpful. Skitby is an absolutely beautiful venue, inside and out, and so versatile with its different areas; accommodating an intimate ceremony, relaxed wedding breakfast and a great dance floor and different spaces for mingling. Plenty of spots for great photos as well. The food was amazing, the canapés, the wedding breakfast, the buffet, the meals we’ve had there beforehand, always 11/10. We loved every second of our experience with Skitby, highly recommend.
