Danby Castle Barn

From the first visit to Danby Castle we were blown away not only by the venue itself but how friendly and helpful the staff were! When we booked the wedding we could tell how genuinely excited they were for us and continued to be throughout the entirety of wedding planning. No question was too much for them and they supported us through every step of the way, we had our final details meeting with Abby who cleared everything up and made it all come together! On the day Abby was amazing and helped out wherever she could, anything we asked her for she would provide a solution to and made the day run so seamlessly. We honestly couldn’t have picked a better venue, the building itself being so unique with 3 different areas to choose from for the ceremony and the view speaks for itself! Our guests understood why we booked this venue the minute they arrived, and even more so when the food came out as it was amazing! Danby Castle is honestly so worth it.

We got married at Danby Castle on the 13th Sep. We toured loads of venues after getting engaged but absolutely fell in love with Danby.

The staff were amazing from start to finish. It was great to be able to bring our parents to have a Sunday lunch and tour the venue before the big day.

The venue itself is absolutely stunning. We were incredibly lucky and had an outside ceremony. From the entrance to the view, it was perfect. It's truly such a special place! We especially love the photos we were able to have taken in the castle ruins.

Our reception was in the Daleview barn and we loved having the backdrop of the valley behind the top table!

Our wedding coordinator Katherine was amazing! She was so kind and helpful throughout the planning process and managed to sort some last minute requests. During the day, she was un-flappable and a real calming presence no matter what the day threw at us. She kept the entire day running smoothly, dealt with a massive dress and worked so hard to let us have the most amazing day! Special mention to Dan who took over from Katherine for the evening and managed to light many huge sparklers in no time at all!

Our day was completely perfect, thank you!

We got married at Danby Castle Barn on 5th August 2026, and from the moment we booked our wedding, we knew we had made the perfect choice. Looking back now, we genuinely couldn’t imagine celebrating our special day anywhere else.

From the very beginning, both of us were given incredible support and guidance. The team were always there to answer questions, offer advice and reassure us whenever we needed it. That level of care continued right through to the big day, and it made such a difference during what can otherwise be a very stressful time.

The venue itself is simply stunning. The location, scenery and setting provide the most beautiful backdrop for a wedding, and every part of the day felt incredibly special. It was everything we had hoped for and more.

The food deserves a huge mention too — it was absolutely amazing! Our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was, and the quality and presentation were fantastic.

Most importantly, the staff were incredible. Everyone we came across was friendly, professional, welcoming and genuinely invested in making our wedding the best day possible.

A very special shoutout has to go to our wedding coordinator, Abby. From the moment we started planning, Abby was absolutely fantastic. She supported both of us throughout the entire journey and helped make everything feel so much easier. On the wedding day itself, knowing Abby was there gave us complete confidence that everything was in safe hands. We honestly cannot thank her enough for everything she did for us.

Danby Castle Barn wasn’t just our wedding venue, it became part of our wedding story. It gave us memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives, and we will always look back on 05.08.26 with the biggest smiles.

Thank you to the entire team for helping make the wedding of Ben & Hollie everything we dreamed it would be. We would recommend Danby Castle Barn to anyone looking for the perfect wedding venue. ❤️

With endless thanks,
Ben & Hollie

We got married at Danby Castle on the 29th July 2026 and we couldn’t have chosen a better venue to celebrate our special day! The setting was the most perfect place to tie the knot, and the beautiful buildings and countryside made our day feel like us.

Our wedding coordinator, Katherine, made our day go so smoothly from start to finish. No request or question was too much, and she made the day flow perfectly. She is a credit to the whole Danby team, and as a whole they were so supportive throughout our time with them, right from booking through to our wedding day. The little touches they added on our day, including contributing to our guestbook were such a lovely surprise addition that made us smile even after the day was done.

If we could relive our wedding day again I would choose Danby over and over without a second thought. They have helped us create memories of our special day that will last a lifetime, and for that we cannot thank them enough ❤️

We got married at Danby Castle in June 2026. Our experience with the team and venue was fantastic. We had our own personal wedding co-ordinator who directed us up until our wedding day, any last minute requests were never a problem, communication was fantastic. On our wedding day Natasha (our wedding co-ordinator) could not of done enough for us. It was relaxed and all ran incredibly smooth. All the staff were polite, helpful. The venue itself self is beautiful. Food was amazing (our guests are still talking about it), good selection of drinks. Best decision we ever made. Definitely going back when there’s a Sunday dinner day !

The team at Danby know what they're doing. They had great advice for us when planning, but also allowed us the flexibility to do things as we wanted them.

Our coordinator on the day was so calm and helpful.

The outdoor space as well as the barns are so beautiful, we hardly needed to do any decoration.

The food was great and well-reviewed by our guests!

Would highly recommend.

Stunning venue, staff very helpful from day one of planning. Chef was very good with allergies and menu changes.
Abbey was our coordinator for the day and honestly was just amazing couldn't thank her enough.
We will be coming back to renew our vows on our anniversary!!

We got married at Danby Castle on the 6/6/26 and had Natasha as our wedding coordinator. She, alongside the rest of the team, were amazing from the point of booking till the end of our night. Every question we had got answered fast by either Natasha or another member of the team. We had some issues with guests dropping out last minute but Natasha was really lovely and supportive during this and helped us swap new people in and move meal selections around. The food at the venue is amazing and all our guests had lots of good things to say about it, as well as how pretty the venue itself was. I couldn’t fault it and we absolutely loved having Natasha with us on our day, she was such a big help and really fun to have with us!

Wow! We have just had our wedding at Danby Castle Barn and it was fabulous. If you’re looking for a venue which offers true beauty with dedicated staff who cannot do enough for you, this is the place for you!

Natasha was our wedding planner and she was truly fab, I had a disaster when one of my booked professionals did not attend and she was straight on it, even offering to drive to Whitby to buy make up! Instead, by some miracle they found me a professional make up artist who came within 20 minutes and was amazing. For this I will always be truly grateful.

The whole day ran seamlessly, all the staff are professional and everything from the registrars, the waiting staff, chefs and DJ were second to none. The feedback from our guests was all positive, the food is amazing no one will leave hungry! We also had our dog with us and she was even made to feel special and very much part of the day!

Natasha is so professional but also very passionate about making you feel special, it felt like more than a job to her, she even shed a tear when my dad got upset.

We can honestly say it was the best day of our lives, made all the more special by the staff and the venue, it’s a very special place and we will be forever grateful for all the memories it created.


Many thanks
Nicci and Andy

We recently got married at the beautiful Danby Castle Barn and we are honestly so, so glad we picked this wonderful place. Katherine, our wedding co-ordinator, was honestly fantastic and I’m so glad we were blessed with her to assist with our wedding day. The venue is honestly stunning and we genuinely had the best day! Everyone still goes on about how amazing the food was (even myself as a very fussy and picky eater ate every single bit of food) and how stunning the venue was. We wish would could do it all over again!

From our first viewing to our wedding day; Danby always felt special. The venue itself is so lovely. The mix of the rustic and modern finishes works beautifully and the stunning scenery is an added bonus! The staff were great from start to finish and our wedding coordinator Abby was fantastic. She was so organised, welcoming and bubbly throughout our day.

The food for our canapés and wedding breakfast was brilliant and the choice we had was great! In fact, some of our guests said it was the best wedding food they have had.
The drink selection at the bar and the prices for a venue that is quite remote was fantastic.

We organised a coach to take us and our guests back to our accommodation afterwards, both of which were recommendations from the team.

We loved having our wedding day here at Danby castle barn and highly recommend it to anyone who is thinking of getting married here.

We had our wedding reception at Danby Castle Barn in March 2026 – it was the most incredible day, and the team at Danby are fantastic. When we came to view the site we were immediately very struck by how friendly and accommodating the staff were, and we loved the different spaces on site for people to be able to spread out and relax whatever the weather. We also appreciated that so much was included in the package.

From the moment we booked to the day of the wedding, the staff have been absolutely brilliant. I remember having a few worries early on about various logistical issues, and not living locally we couldn’t just pop down on the open days, but the team at Danby were so helpful at answering my questions. Our food tasting was spectacular, and it was so lovely to have that in the new Daleview Barn. Also really helpful to have a group tasting to see what the space would look like with lots of people in.

Planning the schedule for the day was made so easy, thanks to Kaylie and Natasha. Both were absolutely brilliant. Kaylie had an initial planning meeting with us, which was super helpful, and then Natasha took us through our final details meeting and was our coordinator on the day – honestly I don’t know what we would have done without them! Nothing was too much trouble, they were both so helpful at accommodating last-minute changes when some guests dropped out, and they really made us feel special. Kaylie and Natasha are both outstanding.

From the moment we arrived at the venue on the day everything just flowed. Natasha was there to greet us with a glass of fizz (we had our ceremony off-site) and took us up to the jury room to enjoy our canapes in peace – we really appreciated having that time to ourselves to take everything in, and she was always there during the day to help and answer any questions. The drinks reception was great fun – the canapes went down a treat with our guests! – and the wedding breakfast was spectacular. The food was outstanding; so many of our guests have said it’s the best wedding food they’ve ever had, and we were all absolutely stuffed. The chefs are fantastic, especially at accommodating dietary requirements. We had a couple of guests with awkward allergies, but nothing was too much trouble for the team. We had a large guest list (c.100), and so we really appreciated the efforts that the staff went to to make sure everyone was fed and watered. The waiters were prompt and efficient – everything just worked!

Bar staff were great and efficient, and our night manager, Ben, was fantastic too. We had the best day, and our only complaint was that the day just flew by! We would absolutely recommend Danby and would love to go back for another event.

Danby Castle Barn was the perfect venue for our winter wedding. Despite the cold season, the atmosphere felt incredibly warm and welcoming, thanks to both the beautiful setting and the wonderful staff. Our event coordinator, Kaylie, was truly outstanding—calm, professional, and completely unflappable throughout the entire day. She made everything feel effortless and genuinely special for us. The food and service were exceptional, and our guests are still talking about it. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

We got married November and we had the most amazing day, the food was brilliant for our reception and Danby Castle itself was just incredible. That being said a few improvements definitely need to be looked at. I was told that we would have a call from our wedding co ordinator the week before just to touch base however we didn’t get this. When I arrived on the morning of our wedding I was then told that our wedding coordinator wasn’t in. For someone with OCD this straight away made me feel anxious plus I was really poorly unfortunately on my wedding day with a chest infection and a cold. I then had explain some of the arrangements we had with our original co-ordinator, so good job I created a file with everything in as I just didn’t have the time or wanted the stress of this. The co-ordinator we had was okay, but wasn’t overall attentive especially for when my mum arrived it was raining at this point, so my groom needed to be in the Jury room so the door upstairs was locked between so they couldn’t come through to accidentally see the bridal party, however initially the co ordinator wouldn’t let me mum through that door and expected her to walk around outside in the rain to get to the bridal party as she wanted to see me, so luckily our photographer stepped in and opened the door for her to go downstairs to see the bridal party and me. It was just unnecessary and unhelpful. When it got to me being needed in my dress I was very nervous at this point and felt I was rushing however I had no reassurance from the coordinator on timing or anything. We also had arranged for a grand entrance with a special song which was a 90’s hit, and when we came into our guests spinning their napkins and cheering us on, the music was so quiet and ended up being pointless. We had to ask for the music to be raised several times. The food on the evening was pork and the sandwiches were cold, so a lot was left for waste and our guests were eating the only hot potatoes and coleslaw. Luckily we had cakes and some of our guests were still full from the main which we couldn’t fault that.
Do our overall experience we did have the best day, but we felt we had more support and guidance from our suppliers who were our Photographer Aaron, our Videographer Nick, and my hair and make up Artists Laura & Paige. We even had our Decor Designer wait until our ceremony finished to transfer our decor over to the bar for behind our sweet heart table who was Wow My Events - Ingrid. We can’t thank them enough. Thankyou to Danby Castle Itself for being so beautiful and making our wedding pictures look even more beautiful with scenery. (We can’t attached pictures of my husband due to his job)

Our wedding took place in July 2025 and we had the most wonderful day that we will never forget. Danby Castle was such a beautiful wedding venue. Staff were so helpful and professional. The stunning new Dale View barn had just opened before out wedding which meant we could use this for our wedding breakfast and we couldnt have asked for more....our day was perfect. Thank you to all the staff at Danby Castle who worked hard to make this possible on the day. Les & Steve XX
