Totally recommend Danby Castle for your Wedding

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.

Mostly positive. Odd niggle

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.

Absolutely Amazing Wedding Day

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!

The best wedding venue, team and view you'll find!

Wow! I don't know how to put it into words. Danby Castle made it so easy. Before we even visited I knew it was 'the one'. The venue and view speaks for itself, the staff are amazing at what they do and very efficient, nothing is too much trouble, the food was absolutely delicious on the day, and the whole wedding was better than I ever imagined. It really is thanks to the team for just knowing what they're doing! It was smooth, beautiful and we had the most fun day. A special thank you to Ruby who really was on hand whenever a small question popped into my head and she made sure the day was faultless. We absolutely loved our day and would recommend this wedding venue in a heartbeat.

Mrs Sue Hall

Absolutely perfect wedding! Beautiful setting in North Yorkshire national park, stunning views. Staff so helpful going above & beyond ( special shoutouts to Ruby &Harry) 3 amazing locations for ceremonies. Gorgeous food, perfect getting ready room for bridal party and men’s room, perfect wedding breakfast room Resident DJ, and what backdrops ! Castle ruins and countryside ( even cows & sheep). No accommodation on site but can highly recommend Coombs Glamping Pods just along the lane.
Guests said they had never been to a wedding like it. Such an amazing experience one no one will forget, highlights were location, staff & food.
Highly recommended 🥰

Wedding at Danby Castle Barn

We had a lovely day. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The venue and the views are stunning. The only issues we would mention was that the lemonade tasted like soda water in the pimms. Also the following day when we collected our things the glasses werent rinsed out before being put in a box and also you feel abit in the way of the next wedding being setting up.

The most romantic, emotional day

Our whole experience with Danby Castle wedding barn was exceptional, to say the least. From the first meeting with Laura, who was absolutely lovely and made us fall in love with Danby, to our amazing co-ordinator, Ruby, who made the whole experience so stress free, it just felt too easy. The whole team just cannot do enough for you, with contact there when you need it, to help with any stressy brides wobbles. It hurt our hearts to leave this place when we collected our belongings the next day, because the day was so magical, emotional and personal. Special mention to Brittany and the night staff also who made the party light up!!! Love these guys❤️

Best day ever

We only needed to look around the one venue because as soon as we walked into Danby Castle we knew it was the place for us. Everything about it is completely stunning.
The views are uninterrupted and awe-inspiring, the castle ruins are so cool and the kids/big kids loved exploring them. The ceremony room is cosy and intimate whilst still fitting plenty of people in, and the barn for the reception is completely gorgeous. We loved that the dancefloor and bar are in a little add on barn, so you don’t need to do the whole switching around of tables and rooms as required at many venues, leaving plenty of space for people to sit away from the dancing if they need a break.. There’s a brand new, gorgeous getting ready room which was perfect for the bridal party to have their makeup done in the morning. There are quirky little areas/separate barn spaces to use so you move from one area to another throughout the day. Having exclusive hire of the whole place, set in the middle of nowhere, with everyone you love in one place is beyond amazing.
The staff were all wonderful in the run up and on the day and loads of guests commented on how fab they were. A MASSIVE thank you to Rachael our coordinator who was so SO helpful at every stage, always contactable and responded quickly to any questions, always totally lovely. We were given free reign to set up ourselves the day before, but you could add as much or as little the venue as you want and it would still be breath-taking without a single decoration added.
The food was incredibly tasty, canopes of Yorkshire puddings and sausage suited us to a tee, and the pie and mash main was complemented by everyone there (I am running out of superlatives here!).
I cannot believe how lucky we were to get married at Danby Castle. If you are reading reviews to decide whether to book here, stop looking and do it. Best decision ever. Can’t thank you all enough.

Such a magical day 🤍

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 😁
