Absolutely outstanding- it is like no other venue!

I got married here last Saturday and wow what an amazing venue with 5 star service. Every aspect of the day was truly exquisite. All of our guests commented on the quality of the food and how gorgeous the venue was. The service was absolutely excellent, I could not fault it. Brooke, Andrew and Molly were brilliant at planning our day. Nothing was too much trouble and I feel they all pulled out all of stops for a truly fabulous day

A perfect venue and wedding day!

A truly incredible venue and wedding day! Married in August 2024 we had the most wonderful day. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience or service, from our initial enquiry right through to our wedding day. Not only is Bowcliffe Hall beautiful the grounds are immaculate. Plus using the Blackburn wing for our evening reception really made it extra special. We loved that it was only us, our wedding guests and the Bowcliffe team on site. You are in very safe hands with Brooke and the team. A very special venue!

Perfect venue & fantastic food

From the moment we were showed around this venue we knew it was the one we wanted - being able to use the different spaces for the ceremony, food and evening was just perfect and we loved the luxury style of the place with it's quirky touches. Certainly not much extra is needed to spend on decor when it looks so good!
The food was priority for us - and didn't disappoint - all canapes and meals were delicious and all our guests were catered for, nothing was too much trouble.
The day itself went so smoothly, the service was amazing, our guests have said they felt like royalty. Our coordinator Imogen was so friendly and helpful throughout the planning process and made sure we had everything covered properly.

Honestly just wish we could do it all again!

Amazing experience from start to finish at Bowcliffe.

We first viewed Bowcliffe in late 2022 and instantly knew it was the right venue for us, having exclusive use was important to us and Bowcliffe offered that with a range of beautiful rooms to choose from, as well as a massive outdoor space. Between then and our wedding in March 2024 the full team, especially Brooke have been amazing, proactive and incredibly helpful, being on hand to answer questions and give advice.
On the day the whole team were amazing, coordinating with vendors, guests and the wedding party, the whole day ran without a hitch and if anything went wrong we never found out about it, it was all dealt with seamlessly by the team. I was very nervous on the day and the team put not only me but my flower girls at ease, offering assistance when needed and being all smiles and cheers.
They were incredibly flexible in making sure the venue and day were perfect, food was amazing, and there were more than enough people on hand to help us and our guests.
We can't thank Brooke and the team enough, it really was a perfect day and as easy wedding planning as possible!

The best day of our lives…

As soon as we saw Bowcliffe we knew this was the venue for us. We loved the fun little quirks with the signs and quotes but overall fell in love with the gardens and building.

We worked with Brooke as our wedding coordinator and she was incredible, nothing was too much to ask for and she made planning our day so easy and enjoyable. She seemed just as excited as us about our plans and we appreciated her expertise and positive energy! The whole team made sure the day flowed effortlessly and the evening staff were great and really helped us just be able to enjoy our evening and took great care of our guests (shoutout to Imogen and Paul)!

I wish we could do the entire day because it was just perfect.

I can’t comment on the food as we used an outside caterer (Kings Catering, Harrogate) but know that they found communicating with Bowcliffe easy which made planning really smooth.

Amazing venue 10/10!

From looking round the venue to the actual wedding day, the venue were amazing. Nothing was too much trouble and they sorted everything! All our guests commented on how amazing the venue was and how lovely the gardens were. The food is SO good, again our guests commented on how good the food was and that it was the best wedding food they had had. Compared to the cost of some other venues and everything you get, it’s a bargain as far as weddings go!

Superb venue, wonderful staff and fantastic service

From the moment walked into Bowcliffe something just felt right, a gorgeous setting in beautiful rooms the ballroom was perfect to suit our needs with ample space for a band. Becky looked after us from start to finish and really took a lot of the stress out of it all for us. On the night itself the staff were fabulous, they worked incredibly hard and nothing was too much trouble.

We can't recommend this venue enough, fabulous food, well organised and wonderful staff, all the right ingredients for our wedding party to be a huge success. All our friends and family absolutely loved it.

The perfect wedding venue in Yorkshire

We can't recommend Bowcliffe Hall more highly. From the moment we stepped into the venue, we knew it was the perfect place to host our special day. We loved the fact that we had the building and grounds exclusively to ourselves and that there were different and unique areas to hold the ceremony, drinks reception, wedding breakfast and evening reception. The decor is beautiful and didn't require many additional extras. All of our guests were impressed with the location and many mentioned the high quality of the food. They also really enjoyed the lawn games!

Our wedding day itself couldn't have gone more smoothly and we wouldn't have changed a thing. Our wedding co-ordinator Catherine was a joy to work with throughout and a real safe pair of hands - nothing was too much trouble and she promptly replied to any questions.

We'll treasure our memories at Bowcliffe for years to come.

There are really no words to describe this venue other than PERFECT! From start to finish, planning your wedding day at this venue is a breeze!

Stunning venue

Catherine, our wedding planner, was so professional and really put us at our ease. We never felt pressured or hurried during the wedding planning. On the big day, everything was perfect. Catherine was there on hand and all went smoothly. Bowcliffe Hall is a stunning venue. All our guests commented on how beautiful it was, on how amazing the food was. We loved every moment. Thank you!

We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Bowcliffe Hall.

July Wedding Ceremony

Rebecca and the events team at Bowcliffe were brilliant from start to finish.
They were very helpful throughout the process and communication was always great.
They were very flexible & accommodating for our needs, nothing was too much trouble. We had a couple of pre meetings to discuss our requirements which were great.
The team went above and beyond for us particularly on the days prior, helping to set the room up and put some chair decorations out for us.

On the day It was a perfect ceremony and everything was perfectly timed by Rebecca and the team. This took so much of the stress away knowing there was someone telling everyone where to be and what to do!
The room I got ready in before the ceremony was absolutely brilliant and made a huge difference, meaning I didn’t have the extra stress of getting to the venue and we could order any drinks or breakfast snacks required!
After the ceremony we had a gorgeous drinks reception in the wing, everyone loved it!
The setting is super private and the gardens are beautiful, we had some gorgeous photographs taken.

We would 100% recommend this wedding venue to anyone, overall the venue is amazing and very well looked after, the team are so friendly and excellent to work with!

A day we will never forget!

Catherine and the Bowcliffe events team are truly amazing.
From my last minute texts to Catherine the morning of the wedding about the weather to collecting our belongings the follow day everything was seamless!

Can’t thank them enough for their hard work in making our day so special.

Can't fault it!

Bowcliffe is a truly unique wedding venue, offering character, incredible food and an amazing setting. We looked around a lot of other venues, but nothing else compares! We had our wedding breakfast in the ballroom and then moved to the Blackburn Wing in the evening, which meant our guests were never stood around waiting and it kept the day flowing nicely! Everyone at Bowcliffe was extremely professional to deal with and made wedding planning as stress free as possible, even during Covid! We honestly can't recommend Bowcliffe enough and are so grateful to the team for giving us the wedding we dreamed of.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
