Hazlewood Castle; the natural choice for your luxury Castle wedding in Yorkshire.

Chilled champagne, roaring wood burning fires, acres of woodland, hidden corners, detailed and immaculate service.

For your wedding of dreams, look no further. Hazlewood Castle is nestled within seventy-seven acres of blissful woodland, boasting its idyllic rural location with ease of access and equal distance between Leeds and York. With several beautiful options for your wedding and years of experience, we’re proud to say we’re among Yorkshire’s finest - with the awards to prove it!

Party on the lawns and in our stunning Clear Garden Marquee.

Should you want an event with more guests, our Clear Garden Marquee may be your choice. The Garden Marquee is the absolute queen of venues. It holds a huge 450 guests at maximum capacity and it really does capture the essence of an outdoor wedding but with all the indoor comforts. The fire pits, heating lanterns, outdoor seating, ‘Caravan Bar’ and street-style food stalls create an incredibly social atmosphere - it almost becomes your own city!

Visit the stalls and the bar, bounce from one seating area to the dance floor to the cherry blossom avenue, listen to the live music; it’s all yours. Oh, and at night, it turns into a fiery orange party that glows far into the distant countryside.

This venue is very popular for dry hire and asian weddings.

Our woodland wedding venue is a special one.

Have you ever seen those photos on Instagram where the happy couple are having their first married photos taken under a tree laced with fairy lights in the middle of the woods? Ever seen those photos where the wedding bar is romantically wrapped around a tree? Ever seen those snaps of pizza ovens in the forest catering the late night munchies at the wedding party?

Well. They’re at Hazlewood’s Woodland Wedding Venue.

This venue seems to be the topic of conversation for nearly-weds at the moment. With a woodland wedding package, your bar is a tree bar, your pizza comes from a purpose built outdoor oven, and your civil ceremony takes place on a charming pagoda surrounded by towering sequoia trees. Your party happens either on an outdoor dance floor or inside a tipi, and you’re engulfed in nature’s finest. Outdoor weddings are becoming more and more popular, and we know why!

Our spectacular Great Hall, brimming with rich history, can accommodate weddings for up to one hundred and twenty guests. Think Bridgerton. Think delicate. Think sophisticated, luxurious and everything you’ve ever drooled over on your Pinterest vision board!

Services Offered

Our dedicated wedding team have considered every aspect of your wedding and designed bespoke services to help relieve the stress of organising the big day. You will be provided with your own Wedding Planner who will look after you from your initial enquiry to the details on the day. Hazlewood Castle will also provide you with a Wedding Day Manager and a professional, friendly team, ensuring a grand experience.

Cuisine

Our experienced chefs will provide you with both traditional and modern seasonal meal and dining options for you to choose from. We are very proud of our vast cuisine offerings and know there will be something that suits you.

Accommodation

There are 32 bedrooms and suites at Hazlewood located in the main Castle, the St Leonard's wing, and the courtyard area named St. Margaret's. All bedrooms boast their inherent beauty and historic character with the highest design criteria and decoration. Each one is unique and varies in both shape and size.

Other Services

Combine your stay at Hazlewood Castle with relaxation at our Imagine Spa, woodland walks, history tours, quiet moments in the library and red wine by the roaring log burner. Hazlewood is much more than just a hotel.

History

Our Castle is steeped in a rich history; Shakespeare’s sonnet 127 “The Dark Lady” refers to Anne Vavasour of Hazlewood, Hazlewood features in the Domesday book, and the Castle was formerly a Maternity Hospital in WW1. Whether you’re a historian or not, there’s a special feeling in the Castle that, we’re sure, is thanks to this lavish past - feel it for yourself on your next visit!

Location

Get perfect photographs and everlasting memories by walking alongside the carp ponds, wandering through the cherry orchard wood, or posing in front of the Great Hall entrance.

The minimum capacity for weddings will vary depending on the day the celebration is taking place. For further information about capacity, contact Hazlewood Castle.

Woodlands Wedding

We had our wedding in the woodlands and Hazlewood and had an incredible time. The team were really responsive while we were wedding planning and answered my millions of questions in the lead up to the day. They were really flexible and helped to make sure everything was how we wanted it on the day. The woodlands venue is absolutely beautiful and we wouldn't change a thing about our wedding.

The most amazing venue

From beginning to end we had the most amazing experience with Hazlewood Castle as our venue.
Kelly was our Co-ordinator and there really wasn't anything she couldn't do for us. She was so friendly, approachable and made us feel like we could chat to her at any time.

The venue was always a stand out location for us and we fell in love with it at first sight, any possible doubts we could have had were gone when we met the amazing staff. Every single staff member was so helpful and professional, we ended up booking a few nights in the hotel and treatments at the spa as we were always looking for a reason to come back!

On the day of the wedding Lis and Max were just outstanding, their commitment to making sure everything ran smoothly was noticed not just by us but by all our guests. There was never a moment where I had any concerns (this coming from someone who is not very good at handing over control!) as they were always there reassuring us and double checking every detail.

Every one of our guests was blown away by the food and the service, with many saying it was the best they had ever had at a wedding. While we had excess of 80 guests, everyone felt treated like an individual and as if their meal had been prepared for them especially. The bar staff worked tirelessly throughout the day and were always making sure everyone was catered for while maintaining effortless professionalism and a friendly smile throughout.

We were so pleased to see all our guests were as wowed by the venue as we were when we first saw it. As fans of the historical, it was a dream to get married in a castle. Our guests were all keen to explore and all who booked a room were very impressed.

Whilst I know that this venue runs many beautiful weddings through the year, we never once felt like just a number, or just another event to churn out. We were made to feel special and as if we were the only wedding in the world. I put this down entirely to the staff. The team at Hazlewood are held in our highest regards and have our endless gratitude for all the service the delivered on our every visit on the lead up to the wedding, and for giving us the most magical day of our lives. We truly cannot thank them all enough!

A perfect Castle Wedding

Stunning location. Such an impressive building. Our wedding was in December and it was raining for most of the afternoon and evening but that didn't matter as there was plenty of rooms for all the guests with use. The rooms we such a great backdrop to our wedding and really add to it without having to provide lots of decoration ourselves.
The food was really excellent and they catered for gluten free, vegan and Low FODMAP with ease.
Large bridal suite made getting ready so relaxed and enjoyable.
Beautiful rooms so our guests could stay, we booked all the rooms in the hotel and worked out how we could get the most people there to stay. The hotel provided all the sofa and pull out beds we needed.
Well organised by the staff, We didn't have to worry or even think about what was going to happen next or what needed doing. Very professional staff.
all of our guest have told us it was the best wedding they have been to, and we wouldn't have changed a single thing.
Overall it was just a perfect day and enjoyed by all.
