Goldsborough Hall - The complete wedding service

We first booked our wedding for Sept 2020. Then covid struck and only politicians were allowed to party so we rebooked for Sept 2021. Sadly our best man was stranded in Australia so we had to postpone and reschedule for May 2022. None of this seemed to worry the unphaseable weddings team at Goldsborough Hall.
From our arrival, going the extra mile seemed to be the norm with extremely polite and staff who were helpful in every way.

Everything from table settings to caring for the grounds is covered and what a setting. The venue is exquisite and attention to detail is second nature to these hard working professionals.

Generally speaking nowadays it's easy to knock a product, almost trendy in fact. I can't. There was nothing to complain about.

The Halls' setting is beautiful but it was the staff that made it. They turned our special day into an extra special occasion for us and for our guests.

I would have absolutely no reservations in recommending Goldsborough Hall. We will definitely be returning for our anniversaries.

Mr & Mrs Newton

Goldsborough Hall was the perfect setting for our wedding. Upon the first visit, we were smitten with the location set in unspoilt countryside, and the rich layers of history to the Hall. The wedding team were responsive and attentive; especially Alison, who acted as our toast master on the day and made our wedding feel smooth. It felt very special to get married here and would recommend any couple to consider doing so.

Best day of our lives

When we were searching for wedding venues in Yorkshire, Goldsborough Hall stood out immediately for the quality of its offering, value for money, and the beauty of the setting.

There were so many reasons we chose it: the history of the hall, the stunning landscape, the beautifully kept gardens, the elegant rooms for the wedding party, the on-site chapel, and the fantastic food — including genuinely excellent Yorkshire puddings! Most importantly, the team were warm, friendly, organised, and clearly very experienced.

Alison, our wedding planner at Goldsborough Hall, was absolutely brilliant. She was incredibly organised, proactive, and excellent with communication throughout the whole process. The wider team and staff on the day were also fantastic, and everything ran so smoothly.

Our guests were so impressed by the quality of the food and the venue itself. Goldsborough Hall is such a beautiful place that it makes an impression whatever the weather. On the wedding day, my husband and I kept saying to each other that choosing Goldsborough Hall was one of the best decisions we made, and it played such a huge part in making our wedding the best day of our lives.

We are so grateful to Alison and the whole team for being absolute stars. We were so happy with our experience and will definitely continue visiting whenever we are back in Yorkshire. I couldn’t recommend Goldsborough Hall more highly as a wedding venue.

Simply Flawless

Goldsborough Hall is a very special venue and helped us organise the picture perfect wedding. Amanda and the team were incredible from day one of considering the venue for our big day, all the way through the planning process and ran a seamless day.

We would highly recommend this venue to any couple wanting a perfect little slice of Yorkshire, with stunning grounds and incredible food. Thank you to Goldsborough Hall for a simply flawless day which we will cherish forever.

Excellent family wedding!

From start to finish the wedding team at Goldsborough were amazing.
We were looking for a venue that allowed us exclusive use for the weekend, with beautiful outdoor space. Goldsborough was perfect.
The planning and communication were amazing- there was never a question too small or too stupid.
On the day, everything went perfectly.
The rain didnt spoil the event because there is lovely indoor space. The Orangery was perfect for our 62 guests. The dining room was re-arranged to accomodate the outdoor games ( it was too wet for them outside) Nothing was too much trouble!
The food all weekend was exceptional, the wedding breakfast was stunning.
We were also lucky to work with amazing suppliers too.
I cannot recommend highly enough!

Goldsborough Hall Wedding

My wife and I had an amazing day. The Hall, and surrounding grounds are stunning and it was fantastic to be able to have all our family stay at the hall on the night. The food was delicious and we had lots of complements from the guests.

Amanda and the whole wedding team were incredible and so helpful in the lead up to the wedding answering any questions we had, no matter how small. On the day the whole Goldsborough team made everything run so smoothly, we had such a stress free day.

A beautiful wedding and a great team

We got married on the 2nd of April and what a beautiful and memorable day it was. The wedding team are lovely. Really helpful and down to earth. The setting is beautiful and food was amazing. We were able to shape our day as we wanted and the team are very receptive to requests and respond quickly to emails. Just the most amazing day, in the most beautiful place, with the nicest of people. Thank you, C and D

Incredible

We hired Goldsborough Hall for our wedding and cannot recommend them enough. We were so well looked after, right from the first venue viewing, through the whole process and especially on the big day. Communication was excellent, responsive to every question and 1 step ahead the whole time. The food was amazing, and got compliments from many of our guests. And that's to say nothing of how beautiful the venue is in every season. The entire team is spectacular, and so accommodating to every need. Including the slightly unexpected ones from our 5.5month old. Thank you so so much!

Just the perfect day!!

This place is fantastic!
From the moment we pulled up outside Goldsborough Hall we knew that we had found a truly magical venue for our wedding reception.
The venue itself is a breathtaking house, steeped in history with magnificent grounds, set against a backdrop of beautiful countryside. From our champagne reception on the patio amidst beautiful flowerbeds, to the stunning Orangery where we ate and the panelled library we used during the evening, Goldsborough Hall was the perfect setting. Our assigned wedding coordinator, Amanda, was brilliant. She patiently answered our endless questions, came up with imaginative solutions and helped us to create a day that was truly personal to us. Nothing was too much trouble. She was amazing.
Dan, the head chef, took time and meticulous care over our wedding breakfast and was always available to discuss even the smallest details that mattered to us. The wedding breakfast was delicious and seamless with many guests commenting on the high quality of the food and wines.
All the staff were friendly, courteous and helped make our day very special. Melanie even managed to get a muddy footprint off my wedding dress train as soon as we arrived with a reassuring smile!
Having considered alternative venues before finding Goldsborough, we were very impressed by the package that Goldborough offered us, including the use of all sixteen beautiful bedrooms for some of our guests. The entire place was ours.
Thank you to everyone at Goldsborough Hall who contributed to what was for us the perfect day. We would absolutely recommend this venue!

Summer 2025 Wedding

We cannot recommend having your wedding at Goldsborough Hall enough! From the moment we stepped into Goldsborough Hall, we knew it had to be our venue. We viewed a handful of other venues, but Goldsborough offered incredible value for money, and all of the staff we met were so friendly that we felt right at home. Even before booking with Goldsborough, their service goes above and beyond, and always comes with a smile! Goldsborough really gives a homely sense which was really important to us as we didn’t want to feel lost in our venue.

We booked the two day package due to the distance our guests were travelling, which meant we had an incredibly relaxing day before, and took the edge of the chaos that is planning a wedding! Our guests were wowed by the reception rooms, and especially the gardens which the kids loved running around in and exploring! They found their rooms very comfortable, and spacious, and it was kitted out with everything they needed.

Amanda was our wedding coordinator, and she was out of this world! No request was too big, and across the two days she was so calm and professional which really helped to ease our nerves. Amanda and the team set out the orangery for our wedding breakfast, and they hit the nail on the head with our vision. The food was phenomenal, our guests were delighted by the quality and speed with which it was served to all guests - there were only empty plates in sight! Shout out to the kitchen team for helping with even the slightest dietary requirements - everyone raved about the canapés and meals! The service of the team throughout the meal and behind the bar was amazing, again always serving with a smile!

Our day was managed seamlessly, even with the rainy Yorkshire weather in mid-July which changed a few plans, and we couldn’t have asked for anything more from the team at Goldsborough. We cannot wait to come back for the other events, and to relive some of the moments on our anniversary!

A one of a kind venue.

An incredible venue, beautiful stately home and gorgeous gardens.
The greenhouses are incredible and it's wonderful knowing some of the food is home grown. The catering was exceptional all round.
Staff were professional and attentive throughout and you feel looked after during the day so you can really enjoy your own wedding.
Beautiful suite rooms to enjoy.
Exclusive use of the venue makes it a really special day.
Lovely sized rooms and layout which allows guests to flow across different rooms, but also allows rooms and the dancefloor to be filled.

The perfect wedding!

We cannot thank the entire team at Goldsborough Hall enough for making our wedding day so special, truly a day we will never forget ❤️
From our very first meeting, we knew Goldsborough was the perfect venue. Alison immediately put us at ease, always on hand to answer questions and guiding us through the process with such professionalism and warmth. The whole team’s experience really shone through in every detail, from the planning support, to setting up for the big day, the delicious food and ensuring every guest was looked after from morning to evening. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches, like our menu tasting evening and making sure the bride and groom had canapés and a drink after the ceremony while photos were being taken!
We loved having the option of a relaxed meal with close family and friends the night before, and the special arrangements for the bridal party on the morning of the wedding made everything feel even more memorable.
Our guests have all commented on what a wonderful day it was, from being such a beautiful place, the atmosphere, the food, and the great service. Goldsborough Hall is a stunning place, we feel privileged to be a part of it's amazing history and it will always hold a special place in our hearts, we cannot wait to return.
Thank you again for everything ❤️

A Great Winter Wedding at Goldsborough Hall

We recently celebrated our wedding at this venue, and it was truly exceptional from start to finish. The space itself is stunning, beautifully maintained, and created the perfect backdrop for our day. Every detail felt thoughtful, elegant, and exactly what we envisioned.

Our coordinator Alison was absolutely incredible—professional, organised, and genuinely invested in making sure everything ran smoothly. She anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and handled every part of the day with calm confidence. Her support made the entire experience on the day stress-free, and we felt completely taken care of on the day itself.

We couldn’t be happier with our choice. The venue, paired with such an attentive and talented coordinator, made our wedding unforgettable. Highly recommend to any couple looking for a seamless and beautiful celebration.

A great winter wedding at Goldsborough Hall

We recently held our wedding at this venue and had a genuinely fantastic experience. The overall quality of service was excellent - professional, responsive, and exceptionally well organised. Alison, the wedding coordinator, in particular, was outstanding. She handled every question with patience and clarity, and her support throughout the planning process made everything feel smooth and stress-free.

The venue offered good value for money, and while the flexibility was moderate, it was generally workable. One area where we would have appreciated a little more understanding was a last-minute cancellation due to an overseas family issue. The request for a refund was denied in line with their T&Cs, which we fully recognise, but a bit of discretion given the scale of our overall spend would have gone a long way. Similarly, the corkage offering was quite restricted. That said, the chef more than made up for this with an exceptional level of flexibility, going above and beyond to tailor the menu and accommodate our preferences.

Despite a couple of limitations, the day itself was seamless, beautifully executed, and everything we hoped it would be. We’d happily recommend the venue to other couples looking for a high-quality, well-run wedding experience.

A fairy tale of a weekend

I literally don't know where to begin.
We had the most amazing weekend.
The team from start to finish where impeccable. From our very first viewing, Amanda was like a fairy godmother; nothing was too much of an ask.
We had our family and a few close friends stay with us at Goldsborough on Friday night, and everyone commented on how good the food was and how relaxed the setting felt. The staff were attentive but not imposing.

On the day of our wedding, it really did feel special from the moment we woke up to the final goodbye of the night. Mel even saved the day when we realised I had bought biodegradable confetti rather than real dried petals, because fear not, she had some spare!

Even the Sunday morning was smooth and easy when packing up to leave.

Could not recommend Goldsborough enough.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
