Woodlands Hotel

Woodlands is a stylish, contemporary hotel and restaurant set in beautiful landscaped grounds on the outskirts of Leeds city centre. The hotel was originally a wealthy mill owners residence and was built in 1871. The Tomahawk Group transformed it into a hotel in 2004 and almost immediately it became a popular and sought after wedding venue . The building includes an integral permanent Marquee which has been erected specially for weddings and special celebrations. There is a choice of 2 stunning rooms which are licensed for Civil Ceremonies and there are 23 individually designed bedrooms including a bridal suite and a Penthouse. Woodlands is perfect for small intimate weddings and exclusive use House Party Style weddings and there is also facilities to cater for the more elaborate grander events and celebrations. In fact Woodlands is such a unique and individual hotel that it can easily adapt to create the wedding of your dreams. Woodlands has an award winning restaurant so the quality and standard of the wedding breakfasts are always superb and guests particularly enjoy the individual attention and the warm and friendly hospitality from the Woodlands team. The gardens form a perfect backdrop for photography and there is a large terrace for summer drinks receptions and BBQs and ample parking for guests.

      Outstanding venue.
      We got married April 2011 and Woodlands hosted the most special day of our lives. The service , food and staff were faultless. The day went without any problems and we would highly recommend Woodlands as a venue to others.

      Perfect
      We had a wonderful wedding at Woodlands. Everything was perfect. The staff were great and very professional. The food was to die for especially the Chocolate Fondant. Megan was brilliant at helping me organise the day, and keeping me calm. Thank you everyone!

      Thanks for all your support and help on the day. Almost all of the messages use the word "perfect" about the day. The team at Woodlands did well. I didn't manage to get to thank the chef to say how terrific all the food was. Everyone I spoke to said the same so please pass on our thanks. We really had a lovely day despite the weather and our aim of ensuring that everyone enjoyed themselves was very much achieved!

      The wedding was fantastic, Jack the toast master was fantastic a real credit to the team at the Woodlands. The food was fantastic, everyone has commented and all most all said they have never had such a delicious wedding breakfast. I thank you immensely for all your help, it was the best day of my life! The breakfast outside on the terrace the following day was also amazing! All in all the staff made the perfect day, i thank you from the bottom of my heart it couldn't have been more perfect! Thank you again.

      Amazing day
      We had the most amazing day we could have ever wished for.It was commented by many of my guests how great the staff were. When I first arrived to check in the staff helped me with my bags to the penthouse which was amazing!! and the girl who co-ordinated the wedding on the day was helpful and extremely organised - everyone got the right food, the tables were decorated beautifully, exactly as I had asked..they couldn''t do enough. Everyone complimented the chef on the delicious canapes, wedding breakfast and buffet, especially the apple crumble which you could tell was homemade...delicious! The DJ from Sound Division was also fantastic. I haven''t got any negative comments whatsoever and we are looking forward to coming back to Woodlands for a meal in the near future.

      Fabulous Day
      We wanted to let you know what a fabulous day we had and to say a massive THANK YOU to all of you at Woodlands! The organisation was superb, thanks to Jade and Anna, the layout was just as we asked and the staff were busy yet unobtrusive and discreet. Everyone was highly efficient and well organised making the afternoon run like clockwork!! We loved our ''wedding breakfast'' . The food was magnificent everyone commented on how beautiful their food was and the cheese boards were particularly splendid! The room looked wonderful - better than we had even hoped and even the tidying up at the end was sensitive and efficient. We felt every single member of staff worked so hard, just for us, continuing to make our special day even better! A particular Thank you to the night porter who was so helpful at the end of a very busy day! We really appreciated all efforts made and will heartily recommend Woodlands to everyone! Many, many thanks!! Fiona and Chris Dakeyne
