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.

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

Wedding July 2025

Lydia is absolutely amazing, nothing is too much trouble and she offers a very personal and tailored service.
Our whole day was amazing. The venue is very special all of our guests were delighted with their rooms and the whole feel of the place.
The food was amazing and can esily be tailored and adjusted to your needs all of which Lydia just arranged perfectly , we had a few vegan guests and this was no problem , she is very calm and helpful all of the time and is so willing to make any adjustments.
We felt it was such a personalised service and Lydia cared as much as we did about everything.
We attended a coupe of open days and this helped us to visualise how our day would be, arranging seating plans (which we changd a lot and Lydia did not bat an eyelid she is so kind and patient) we also met our florist (Classic Stems) and this helped so much with the look the flowers were fabulous and Rachel Lawson our photgrapher so was wonderful, both offered a personal service and are very familiar with Lydia and the venue.
The whole team are great the waitresses are all friendly , we had a little bit of rain and this did not spoil how special our day was , the service was effecient , warm and friendly .
We had the best day ever it's such a special place
Thank you

Wedding of our dreams

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting our wedding at this stunning venue, and it exceeded all our expectations. The rear courtyard provided the most magical setting for our ceremony—nestled amongst beautiful trees, delicately adorned with bows and softly glowing lanterns as dusk settled in. It was nothing short of enchanting.

The wedding breakfast was exquisite—each course beautifully presented and delicious, perfectly complemented by the elegant table décor created by Lydia and her incredible team. Their attention to detail brought everything together in such a seamless and stylish way. The pink prosecco was a fabulous celebratory touch, perfectly in keeping with our pink and blue colour theme, and added a joyful sparkle to the occasion.

To make our day even more special, we were gifted the bridal suite complimentary—a luxurious deluxe room complete with a hot tub jacuzzi. It was the perfect place to unwind after such a magical day. The following morning, we enjoyed a tasty and delicious breakfast that rounded off our experience wonderfully.

From start to finish, every detail was considered with such care, allowing my husband and I to truly relax and enjoy every precious moment. We are so grateful for the unforgettable experience and wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful, thoughtfully curated wedding day.

Our perfect wedding




We had the absolute wedding of our dreams at the Black Horse Inn / Berts rooms and events. !
From the moment we toured the venue, we knew it was something special the grounds are stunning, the atmosphere is warm and elegant, and everything about the space just felt right.

But what truly made our day exceptional was Lydia, our wedding planner. She was incredible from start to finish organized, calm, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. No detail was too small, and her experience and passion really shone through. She handled everything so seamlessly that we were able to completely relax and enjoy every moment.

Our guests are still raving about the venue and how smoothly everything went. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you to Lydia and the entire team at the Black Horse Inn for making our wedding unforgettable!

Highly, highly recommend!

An amazing venue and team

We can't strongly recommend The Black Horse Inn/Bert's as a wedding venue. We got married there in September 2024 and had the best possible day we could have imagined. Lydia and team were brilliant throughout the whole process, from the open days to making our booking and communication throughout up to the big day. We always felt looked after, valued and nothing was too much trouble. Everything in the run up to the day and the day itself went smoothly. A few very minor things were resolved speedily when we notified Lydia and the team. The food was brilliant and the catering team did a great job with intolerances and providing alternatives (the gluten-free Yorkshire puddings especially made were a highlight!). All our guests genuinely said what a lovely venue it was and how nice all the staff were. If you want a venue with real character and charm then this is probably the place for you.

Wedding 25/05/2025

We got married here on the 25th of May 2025 and we are so excited to be able to look back at our wedding day and say it was absolutely perfect, and this definitely wouldn’t be the case without the amazing staff who made it possible.

Planning the wedding was a lovely and chilled process, Lydia was such a joy to meet. She put us so at ease and the attention to detail for our big day was phenomenal. We went away from every meeting leading up to the wedding feeling confident and excited.

The wedding ran so smoothly with a member of the venue staff always there to guide us and our guests to what was going on next and where we should go.

The venue itself is so beautiful, and everything was decorated exactly as we had asked. We are so happy we chose to hire the courtyard as guests loved having somewhere else to go and the wedding photos look amazing when taken there.

All our guests loved the wedding breakfast, the food was amazing, we even said it was better than when we did the menu tasting which we didn’t think was possible! Staff catered to all of our guests dietary requirements easily.

Overall we would definitely recommend this venue for anyone's big day.
We cant wait to go back for all the years to come on our anniversary's.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
