Situated in the heart of Clifton Village, West Yorkshire, Bert's Rooms and Events (at The Black Horse Inn Clifton), is an intimate wedding venue steeped in history. Family-owned for over 70 years, this distinctive 17th-century inn radiates a traditional British charm that blends in effortlessly with the surrounding Georgian architecture. With open fires and beautiful outdoor settings, this is a wonderful venue for a cosy country wedding.

Facilities and Capacity

Fully licensed for civil ceremonies, Bert's Rooms and Events is ideal for laidback weddings, allowing couples to host every stage in one inviting space. This rustic haven is a short 20-minute drive from Leeds, making it a convenient location for city excursions and tranquil retreats. For destination weddings, this is the ideal space to soak up the serene ambience that the British countryside offers in abundance. The aesthetic continues within the inn, with its oak beams and exposed brick and traditional open fires. Civil ceremonies can be held in The Wellington Suite or Clifton Room, which accommodates 60 guests. This secluded event space is a beautiful blank canvas for couples to craft their unique stamp. The space can fit up to 60 for a seated meal with doors that open out onto a gorgeous courtyard, ideal for post-ceremony drinks. Evening receptions we can hold a maximum of 90-100 guests. At the end of the evening, the happy couple can retire to the luxury Epernay Room while guests can choose from 12 individually designed bedrooms set over 17th-century cottages. We offer exclusive use of Berts Rooms & Events cottages, that can be extended to include exclusivity of our main bar and Clifton room of The Black Horse Inn.

The most relaxed wedding!

We got married in August 2026, from the wedding open day to booking to the actual wedding the support and service from the venue was outstanding.

Lydia and the team worked so hard to make sure that every detail was perfect, the value for money was also brilliant in comparison to other venues we looked at.

On the day myself and my Husband has nothing to do other than enjoy our special day. We didn’t have to think about anything, the team worked so hard and were truly amazing.

So many of our friends and family commented on how relaxed our wedding felt and that was thanks to Lydia and the team who made sure we had our perfect day ❤️

Fabulous wedding venue

We had the Twilight Wedding Ceremony. Lydia, was incredible from start to finish, very organized, calm, responsive. and professional. She did everything we asked of her and made the rooms look stunning on the day. Nothing was too much trouble for her and the team.The buffet table looked stunning and plenty good quality food for all our 50 guests, especially the canapés. dietary requirements were listened to, discussed and met. Lydia was there throughout the whole day to make sure our special day went as smooth and stress free as possible . Thank you to Lydia and the entire team at the Black Horse Inn for making our wedding unforgettable! Professional and great value. Highly recommended

10th April 2026 - Our Special Day

100% Perfection Just back from our wonderful wedding at Berts Rooms & Events. The whole experience from start to finish was brilliant. Lydia and the whole Team were amazing, the food was excellent during the 3 days we were there and the accommodation for everyone who stayed was perfect. Everything went seamlessly on the day and it was all thanks to everyone there. The evening reception buffet was excellent and Nigel the DJ kept us all dancing until the end. We would definitely recommend Berts and we look forward to visiting again soon. Dawn & Mark xx Kent

Day of dreams 🙌🏼

My dream wedding was turned into a reality, thanks to Lydia, and the team at Bert’s rooms/the black horse inn.

From the start, Lydia was responsive, attentive and ready for anything. She saw our vision and helped me achieve what we wanted. We wanted a relaxed day, that felt fun, low pressure but still looked beautiful. Every guest loved the venue, rooms and staff, they were blown away!

The food…this was a real crowd pleaser. Every thing brought out of that kitchen tasted amazing, timings were spot on and the menu options while planning were perfect!

Lydia made sure I had everything I needed the night before too, was incredibly flexible and was determined to make sure our day went smoothly.

I cannot fault a single thing. The hotel rooms were magnificent, food delicious, staff were attentive and venue beyond beautiful. If you want to have the day of your dreams, I highly recommend this venue 🙌🏼

Sunflower Wedding July 2025 🌻☀️🎊

From walking into Berts on a wedding open day, we knew this would be the perfect venue for us. Not too big, not too small and a very friendly welcome.
Lydia and her team were brilliant from start to finish accommodating our wishes.
The venue is gorgeous with a lovely courtyard area which our guests enjoyed (we were blessed with a sunny day!), delicious food and excellent service. An added bonus for us was it being dog friendly.
We cannot recommend Berts highly enough, we had the perfect day as did our guests 😊 Just wish that we could do it all again 💕

A perfect day!

From meeting Lydia and first visit to Bert's/ The Black Horse Inn we knew this was the venue for us and what we were hoping to achieve for our day.
Lydia and the whole team/family delivered our day exceeding our expectations! Nothing was too much trouble, Lydia was quick to respond to any queries and throughout kept say it's your day no pressure to stray away from what we were looking for. When we said we didn't want a traditional wedding cake, Lydia sourced exactly what we were looking for with a show stopper of a pork pie and cheese tiered "cake" looked and tasted amazing!
Krystle, the celebrant, set the day and vibe with a ceremony which was brilliant and so personal to us.
We had a Twilight ceremony package plus DJ and rooms. The food was great with plenty of choices from canapes, buffet plus special dietary requirements catered for. The DJ kept us all dancing to the end of what was a perfect day!
We stayed in the Bridal Suite which was gorgeous, other family and guests all were happy with their rooms and a hearty breakfast the following morning helped ease a few sore heads.
In all a perfect day, our way and would highly recommend. The different packages available to suit different budgets and styles from formal, intimate to Twilight help to tailor your day.
Thank you!!

Absolutely amazing

We had one year to plan our wedding. With the help of Lydia our coordinator, everything was made possible. Lydia went above and beyond. She was quick to respond to messages and open to all our ideas. When it came to the day, everything ran smoothly. All the staff were fantastic, the food was amazing and it was everything we could have wished for. If we could do it again, we would, exactly the same. Would highly recommend, not only the venue, but everyone behind the scenes making the day possible. All our guests that stayed the night, loved their rooms, the bridal suite was amazing and can’t wait to visit again as husband and wife.
For anyone looking for that intimate and fun vibe, we would highly recommend

Wedding of our dreams


We had our wedding at this amazing venue in September , and it was truly the wedding of our dreams! Even though it rained all day, it didn’t spoil anything. The fantastic team went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect, and we couldn't have asked for more.

From start to finish, the staff were super friendly and attentive, making us feel cared for every step of the way. The rooms were so comfy, and breakfast the next morning was absolutely brilliant.

I can’t recommend this place enough! Huge thanks to Lydia and the incredible team for making our wedding day not just possible, but perfect. We’re so grateful for everything you did to help make our special day unforgettable
