Egton Manor is a beloved family home and historic wedding venue located just six miles outside the charming village of Whitby in North Yorkshire, England. Nestled on 6,000 acres in the wild and dramatic North York Moors National Park, this estate provides a breathtaking and secluded setting for celebrations. Originally constructed in 1869, it has even been featured in the BBC documentary 'A Wild Year', which showcases the venue's majestic beauty.

Facilities and Capacity

Egton Manor is a romantic country retreat where up to 160 can gather along the River Esk. The property consists of The Manor, complete with a large Drawing Room and intimate Garden Hall, and the Old Stables. The stables are made up of The Long Gallery, The Bar, The Reception Room, and The Raj Tent. These rooms flow naturally together, allowing your guests to come and go from one to the next. For larger weddings, the Covered Courtyard can be set up with an event tent, which leads to the lavender gardens.

The most beautiful experience!

We can't recommend Egton Manor enough! From the planning to the day itself, everything was fantastic. It’s a stunning venue (very Wuthering Heights) and Laura and Olly couldn't have been better hosts. We had quite a few requests and questions before the wedding and they were all handled quickly. On the day, we felt so looked after by all the staff and everything ran smoothly, which took so much of the stress away. All our guests commented on how beautiful the location was. The log cabin that we stayed in on our wedding night was absolutely beautiful and Olly kindly lit a fire for us before we got down there, so it was lovely and cosy. Waking up to see the trees and hear the sound of the river in the morning was blissful - in fact, we’re hoping to spend our anniversary back at the cabin! Laura and Olly are such warm, lovely people and we genuinely enjoyed every interaction we had with them. We couldn’t have asked for a more memorable, stunning day. Thank you Laura & OIly, and everyone at Egton Manor!

A hidden gem

Egton Manor is a dream venue. Whether you want a small intimate wedding or one with a lot of guests it is adaptable without ever feeling like you’ve compromised on anything. Laura and Rachael are amazing, super responsive, friendly and our day went perfectly from start to finish with their coordination, we couldn’t fault it. They make the venue feel like only yours, they are not a conveyor belt wedding venue and are so accommodating to any requests. Having on site accommodation and local b&bs in walking distance is perfect too.

Fantastic Venue

Egton were fantastic from start to finish. They were very relaxed about the entire process - which is what myself and my husband wanted. They also coordinated the entire day as well which they did a fabulous job. Venue is in a beautiful location in North Yorkshire and has the added benefit of additional accommodation which is handy for guests. We are so grateful for all their hard work in making our day!

A magical wedding in North Yorkshire

From the offset, we knew we were in capable hands with Laura and the team.

At our initial meeting it was clear the the Egton team puts their heart and soul into every single wedding, and ours was no exception. We were made to feel like family, no ask was too much, nothing was off the table.

On the day of our wedding, everything was perfect. Sometimes as the bride it is hard to let go and let someone else take the reins but I had no issue.
I knew we all were on the same wavelength and the day surpassed my wildest expectations!

Everything happened on time, everyone was where they were expected to be, and I am under no illusion this was a tough task but on the day, everything seemed to just fall into place, and this was all thanks to Laura. She even managed to schedule some sunshine!

The rooms were out of this world, the grounds are breathtaking and if I could go back and do the whole day again, I would in a heartbeat. I cannot recommend Egton Manor higher. It is perfect for an intimate, romantic and magical wedding!

Amazing venue

We were lucky enough to have our wedding at Egton in July 2023. It was an amazing experience, we fell in love with the grounds and the house as soon as we viewed the venue. Laura went above and beyond to accommodate us and make sure we were happy with the plans for the day. Nothing was too much for her and she answered countless silly questions with patience! The day itself ran smoothly and everything fell together perfectly, thanks mainly to the hard work of all the staff at Egton. The venue is beautiful and has a variety of different spaces with different feels for the various points of the day. We couldn't recommend highly enough!

Egton Manor Wedding

We got married here in October 2023, I had only found the place via Google as both me and my partner had never been or heard of it. After our first initial visit and chat with Laura we fell in love and booked the wedding even though we had been to many other venues. Laura Olly and staff were helpful, friendly, professional and went out of their way to ensure we had the best day of our life and we couldn't have wished for better. All guests commented on what a wonderful day it was and how beautiful the venue is. Thanks all! I would definitely recommend here, you will only look back to remember how amazing it was!

Amazing and professional

We got married here at the start of September last year and we just fell in love with Egton immediately. Laura is incredibly comforting, informative and welcoming to her home. We knew where we stood the whole way, there were no glitches at all and then the freedom to decorate the venue how we wanted was just a plus. I had found out I was pregnant 3 days before the wedding and Laura went above and beyond to ensure that only she provided me with no-secco as I didn’t want to tell anyone. The river cottage where we spent our first night was magical and breakfast the next day with our friends just sealed the deal. The vast amount of space we had was amazing and it didn’t matter that it rained, as there were alternative arrangements which weren’t any issues. We had family staying in the village of Egton and our friends on site and no one could fault the accommodation. I would happily redo this day again and again with Laura.

Stunning venue, full of fun

Egton Manor is a beautiful & unique wedding venue. Laura and the team were extremely responsive and helpful throughout the process, and went above and beyond to ensure we had the day that we dreamed of. Laura was so flexible and accommodating and we really felt that she personally and passionately cared about the day being perfect for us.

We had a large wedding (140) so had the reception in the "stretch tent" which was beautiful and provided a unique and memorable environment, although for smaller weddings other parts of the manor can be used which are also gorgeous. The pictures we had taken outside in the grounds are breathtaking.

The day felt unique and tailored to us, and Laura was incredibly thoughtful and attentive, particularly to the needs of older and younger guests - my 94yo grandad was treated like a king!

Egton Manor, and Laura, Olly and the rest of the team really are a cut above. We couldn't recommend this venue more highly! Take us back!
