We recently got married at Danby Castle, what a perfect venue. Everything was brilliant, the planning was easy, and the day went so well. All the staff were brilliant and the service was great. The food throughout the day was excellent, and commented on by our guests. The team at Danby made the day go perfectly from setting up to clearing away at the end of the night. Everything was on time and as requested. The location is amazing and the venue is very well looked after. Would recommend Danby Castle as the perfect place to get married.

We booked our wedding just 8 months before we got married. The venue carried some sentiment for us and we were amazed at how affordable it was. From the point of booking, we were guided through the planning process and felt supported. Any questions were answered really quickly and comprehensively- nothing was too much trouble. We loved the food tasting experience to help us with choosing our menu. It was a tough choice as everything was delicious! So many of our guests complimented the food- some said it was the best wedding food they'd ever tasted!
On the day itself, Leah ensured everything ran like clock work and quickly adapted to the changing weather conditions. She gave regular friendly prompts to keep us right and helped with lots of little touches like providing extra confetti when we ran out, moving decor and making sure everyone was comfortable.
In the evening, Harvey was so patient and continued to keep everything running smoothly.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Danby Castle and wish we could do it all over again!

Our wedding at Danby Castle Barn was perfect in every way. The venue is beautiful. The staff are attentive from making the initial booking to the very end of the journey on the day and they genuinely can not do enough for you. We had an amazing experience from start to finish and can not thank Danby enough!

We booked this venue on the day we visited as we both fell instantly in love with it. We'd only looked at one other venue but knew we wouldn't find anything as idyllic as Danby Castle. Laura showed us round and was very friendly and professional.

Invitations were sent out to our guests with the food choices. based on the menu supplied to us. We were invited to a food tasting evening which we went along to around 3 months before our wedding.

On arrival at the food tasting evening it transpired that the menu had completely changed. This was quite a shock to us to learn and we had to then contact our guests to inform them of the changes. Danby have since added a disclaimer at the bottom of the menu. We would advise caution when sending out your food choices.

We met with our wedding coordinator around 2 months before our wedding who again was very professional and understood our wishes for our big day. Unfortunately between mid December and mid January, we failed to receive any communication directly from her, the other coordinators informing us each time we sent an e-mail that they would "pass it on to her" to be eventually informed (only because I rang) that she was on long term sick and then a short time later we were told we were assigned a different coordinator. Leading up to the wedding our new coordinator was very communicative, supportive and helpful.

On the morning of our wedding leading up to and including the ceremony everything ran smoothly, staff arranged the ceremony and wedding breakfast room as we wished and everything was precise.

Unfortunately the start of the ceremony was the last time we saw our coordinator for several hours (until the speeches). This made it difficult for several reasons - some guests were cold and we asked for radiators to be switched on but this didn't happen, no microphone was available for the speeches and no members of staff were to be found at this point to ask let alone our coordinator.

The food was outstanding and many people commented how much they enjoyed it. Unfortunately for whatever reason however, our meal overran by almost an hour with noticeably extremely long pauses between courses. This then had a knock on effect to our evening buffet when a lot of the food got wasted because people were not hungry.

We appreciate this comes across in a negative way and we wouldn't want to put people off. Danby Castle is an amazing venue and we've lots of good memories but we hope that staff can take what we have said on board to improve the experience for future couples. (They don't seem interested in responding to feedback nor did we get asked on the day if everything was fine and running how we wished).

Ideally we would have wanted to give a score of 3.5 as the day was definitely not average but it was however disappointing in parts as we feel a lot of the negatives could have been avoided.

Growing up I always knew I wanted to get married over the Yorkshire moors as it was my happy place and Danby castle was my dream venue, our dream became a reality on the 9th of March 2025 (also mine and my partners anniversary date which made it so much more special)
Danby listened to every request I had and went above and beyond for us, our wedding coordinator Holly and Britney and all the other staff were incredible and made us feel so special throughout our day. It will always be the highlight of our lives.

We had the best day surrounded by so much love. Lots of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. They particularly loved all of our personal touches to make each and every guest feel a part of the day. The view of the moors just makes the venue even more special to us. The food was amazing! We wish we could do the day all over again!

Where do we even begin? Our wedding day at Danby Castle Wedding Barns was nothing short of perfection. The venue itself is breathtaking, and every single detail was executed flawlessly.

Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how incredible everything was—the atmosphere, the stunning setting, and the seamless flow of the day. A huge thank you to Leah and Harry, who were absolute stars. From the morning preparations to the evening celebrations, they orchestrated everything with such care and precision that we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Their attention to detail and calming presence made the day truly unforgettable.

The food was hearty and absolutely delicious. The pies were incredible, and the team serving throughout the night were exceptional. Every member of staff went above and beyond to ensure the experience was perfect for everyone.

A special thank you to Lauren, who helped us book the venue back in March, and the rest of the incredible team at Danby Castle. Your dedication, passion, and hard work shone through every step of the way, making our wedding day better than we could have ever imagined.

We cannot recommend Danby Castle Wedding Barns enough. If you’re looking for a venue that’s magical, professional, and utterly perfect, this is it.

With love and heartfelt thanks,
The New Mr & Mrs Tannahill

Overall, Danby Castle Barn is a fantastic venue that combines natural beauty, historic charm, and exceptional service to create the wedding of your dreams.

The venue itself is amazing. The views are breath taking from every angle and in all seasons. Theres no accomadation on site but there are numerous pubs/air b&bs within 15min drive. The food was lovely. The nibbles did not seem to get round all the guests and the pimms didnt taste right which was a shame. Staff were very friendly and helpful and can accomadate most requests. Great for children in the family to play and explore.

Staff were amazing from booking the venue, right till the wedding day. Couldn’t fault anything. Made us both feel so at ease and excited! Food was amazing too!

Absolutely stunning venue with the most Incredible views of north yorkshire. The staff couldn't do enough to make our day run just as we wanted it to. I'm so glad we chose danby castle and would choose them 100 times over! We're so lucky!

This place is stunning would definitely recommend if your looking for something secluded this is the place. Also Jack and Jill coaching house 15 minutes away is amazing great hospitality

Right from the start to the finish I can't thank these guys enough, we'd booked this venue 2 years in advanced and was the only venue we went to look at. We fell in love with its character and charm, all the staff are lovely, welcoming and can't do enough for you. There's several areas you can choose to get married all within one venue and the veiws are amazing, they also allow dogs to join you celebrate your special day. If you're an outdoors loving couple with a passion for old buildings and ruins with a twist of modern you will definitely love it here! We loved our time here, the day went perfectly, my only problem is the day went by so quickly!. Thank you all so so much ♡
BEST DAY EVER!

We got married at Danby Castle just over a week ago and we had such an incredible day.

Despite a couple of small hiccups with 2 of the old wedding co-ordinators around communication and what was offered to us, when Leah took over everything ran smoothly. Leah was always on hand to make sure our day ran smoothly.

The venue is incredible, we were bless with lovely weather for our games, ice cream van and singer but I could imagine it could be quite difficult if there weather goes the other way. We were also blessed to be able to have our first dance in the ruins which was so magical and special! If you are getting married in the summer and the weather allows, I would 100% recommend this.

Danby has the most amazing natural backdrops for photos and really allowed our guests to unwind. The food was incredible, the portion sizes were great and our guests were all very happy!! We also opted for the Fish and Chip van at night and again, it was insane!! Top Notch!!

The only negative is not having accommodation on site which was promised to us at the time of booking but we booked Guisborough Hall for our wedding party which was only 20 minutes away and allowed most of the guests to stay together.

If you are looking for a stunning venue with incredible views where your guests can unwind then Danby is your venue!! 🤍 Massive thank you to Leah again! Highly recommend.

Wow, such a stunning venue to hold our wedding. The staff were very kind and helpful from beginning to end and nothing was too much trouble. All our guests commented on how unique and interesting the venue was, especially the old ruins, the views were unreal and created such a nice backdrop for photos. Our coordinator Leah was fab and kept the day running smoothly, Brittany took over on the evening and was just as professional, thanks very much for your hard work. Also, all the food was amazing, canapés were spot on, everyone loved them.
Awesome day 😁
