Wedding of dreams

I don’t even know where to start, Jamie the wedding manager wow he is absolutely amazing at his job he was my biggest cheerleader and support on the wedding day and took all my stress away! He would go above and beyond for anything i asked.

The above also goes to the team working their on the days, nothing went wrong as far as I am aware haha m, everything ran so smoothly and like clock work.

I just wish I could do it all again 🤍


My only downfalls were the flexibility of adding extras to the day, I.e to land a helicopter bringing my husband to the venue I wasn’t allowed and I also found out it was a no to bringing one of my horses for photos and there was other things I now can’t remember, just feel like I heard the word jo quite a lot.

But the wedding day and staff at lartington were absolutely incredible. They need a bonus 🤍

Lartington - most amazing venue

If you are considering Lartington, don’t hesitate. Me and my husband had the most amazing day/night. We kept it quite small but it was just perfect. All our friends and family in one place. We met Elle when we went back to the venue to organise and plan our day. We instantly loved her. She is amazing at what she does and really cares. We requested her to be there on our day and she made sure she was. She did everything to make sure we were happy and things ran smoothly. Richard the master of ceremonies was such a gentleman. He gave my husband some really amazing advice before his speech and boosted his confidence. James and the night staff were equally as amazing. They just kept checking in to make sure we were okay. Everything was planned to perfection and that’s because of the amazing Lartington team. If I could do it all again I would and it would be at Lartington with the same amazing staff.

An absolute dream 💫

Lartington hall couldn’t be a more perfect venue, the wedding coordinator, manager and master of ceremonies couldn’t have done enough for us. They were vital to ensure we had the perfect day that we did. That’s even before the amazing backdrop it provides for your day. No matter what the weather is, this place is stunning indoors and out and everyone there ensures your day is seamless and as stress free as possible. The food was absolutely delicious 🤤 This place and the people in it made our day an absolute dream ✨

Amazing Venue

Wow, where do we even begin? Our wedding at Lartington Hall was everything we dreamed of and so much more. From start to finish, the whole weekend was just magical, and that’s all down to the most incredible team who made us feel so welcome and cared for the entire time. Nothing was too much trouble, everyone was so kind and friendly, and they had this amazing way of making us feel calm and relaxed – which meant we could just enjoy every single moment.

We have to give the biggest thank you to Bekka, our wedding manager on the day. She was honestly amazing – the most calming, reassuring presence and such a superstar at making everything run smoothly. She always checked in on us, made sure we were okay, and never let us feel stressed or overwhelmed. No matter what cropped up, she handled it with ease, and she even helped me into my dress without a second thought! We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to be by our side.

A huge thank you as well to Ella, who was always there making sure I was looked after, kept me fed and never without a drink – you were such a lifesaver! To Jamie, who brought so much fun and warmth to the whole weekend and just made everything feel extra special. And to Richard, our brilliant master of ceremonies, who was simply fantastic – keeping everything running beautifully while also going above and beyond by even picking up our wedding cupcakes. We’re so grateful to each of you.

The food and drink were just out of this world – so delicious and beautifully done – and our guests haven’t stopped talking about how incredible everything was. We honestly can’t praise Lartington Hall enough. It’s not just the stunning venue that makes it special, it’s the people, and we’ll never forget how amazing you all were in making our wedding so perfect. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Also Emily our wedding coordinator, she was amazing and so thoughtful and even there to say hello on the Friday when we arrived to make sure everything was okay for us before she handed us over to the amazing Bekka. Emily made sure all our questions were answered no matter how small or big they were, always caring and thoughtful even till after the wedding, i cant recommend her enough if you are getting married with one them apartment group venues.

Lartington Hall Wedding on 5th September 2025

We cannot thank Lartington Hall and the entire team enough for making our wedding day absolutely perfect. From the moment we first visited the venue, we knew it was something special — but the staff truly took it to another level.

Every detail was handled with such care, professionalism, and genuine warmth. On the day itself, everything ran so smoothly — from the beautiful setup, to the seamless coordination, to the delicious food — it was everything we had dreamed of and more.

A huge thank you to Bekka, Elle, Jamie and Richard for going above and beyond on the day. So many of our guests commented on how stunning the venue was and how lovely and attentive the staff were throughout the entire day.

You gave us the most magical day of our lives and memories we will treasure forever. We’re so grateful to have celebrated our wedding at such an incredible place with such a dedicated and passionate team.

With love,
Nathan & Courtney

Thank you for our dream wedding day!

Thank you so much to the amazing team at Lartington Hall and the Apartment Group. From day one of planning to our wonderful wedding day - we couldn’t be more grateful!

Our experience began with a guided tour of the venue where we instantly knew that this was the venue for us. The team then took us through the process of booking in a totally non-pushy way. They answered all of our questions, gave us all the information we needed and were so helpful in answering our many questions. Nothing was too much hastle. Honestly the venue is so beautiful we were amazed at the price and feel the whole thing has been exceptional value for money.

Eva was our wedding planner throughout and she is so wonderful, kind, caring and professional. I had a lot of queries throughout and she dealt with these promptly and always reassuring me it was ok to have lots of questions. The detail of the wedding planning was amazing - from ensuring we had the food choices we wanted to keeping a few surprises from my groom until the big day - she was truly indispensable.

On the day we had the fantastic Elle, Jamie and Richard looking after us. What a dream team! From the moment we arrived to the lodge the night before we were well taken care of and every detail was immaculate. They made us feel so special and our day ran beautifully. They thought of so many little details too that made us feel we didn’t need to think about anything. Myself and Steven were able to focus on ourselves and our guests and everything else was taken care of.

Elle and Jamie really did take such wonderful care of us and our guests. And they were so genuinely enthusiastic and excited for us it’s hard to imagine they do weddings all the time - except for their knowledge, attention to detail and professionalism which shows they are both absolutely fantastic at what they do.

We really did have our dream day. The beautiful surroundings at Lartington, the restaurant quality food, the slick running of the day, the way every detail is taken care of. Honestly, a dream venue, an amazing team - could not recommend enough!

Our Perfect Day ❤️

From the moment my fiancé and I walked around Lartington Hall, we knew it was where we wanted to get married. The venue is stunning, had plenty of on-site accommodation for our travelling guests, and the chapel area makes for a fantastic surprise for people who haven't seen it before.

Emily at Apartment Group was a massive help with everything in relation to getting things set up, and Becca, Jamie, and Elle were an amazing team for our on-the-day support. Nothing was a problem for them to sort and they all seemed genuinely happy for us on our big day.

Everyone was blown away by the venue, the food, the service - it was just exactly as we wanted it and it made for our perfect day 🥰

The best day of our lives

From the first time we viewed Lartington hall we knew it was the perfect venue. It had everything we'd wanted and we knew we wouldn't need to look anywhere else. We quickly booked the venue of our dreams and over the following 18 months the team from Lartington were amazing. Jenna was our wedding co-ordinator and at every step she was exceptionally helpful, accommodating and providing support whenever needed. We attended one of their menu tasting events & then a private tasting of our own and both evenings were incredibly professional and each dish provided was delicious.

Fast forward to our wedding day this June and it was the most wonderful day of our lives. Staying in the lodge the night before was a dream. Bekka was our wedding day manager and Richard was our master of ceremonies and they were both fantastic. Both were so incredibly friendly & professional; they made my husband & I feel like we were at home. I can't speak highly enough of all the staff at Lartington, everyone was so helpful, at the end of the evening festivities a really lovely member of staff was waiting with a big glass of water for me and I just thought it was so kind and such a good example of knowing exactly what we needed before we could even think it.

The venue itself is stunning, inside & out. It feels like you're walking around on a Bridgerton set. The gardens were beautiful and with us being so lucky with the weather we got to enjoy them to the full. The food was absolutely delicious and everyone loved it.

It was without a doubt, the perfect day.

Wedding of our dreams✨

Words are not enough to describe our perfect day! The team at Lartington Hall went above and beyond, nothing was an ask and everything flowed so so smoothly. Becca and Richard were an absolute dream team, they made us feel so relaxed starting from the night prior and all throughout. We could not of asked for better, even our guests sang their praises. Jamie also needs a mention as he was an absolute angel! Our guests said how amazing the day was from start to finish and we really had the time of our lives. Couldn't recommend Lartington more! Our wedding coordinator Emily was also absolutely fantastic, putting up with our 1million questions and answering in quick time. So thank you to the full team we had a blast and want to do it all over again!!
Love the Douglas'

10th April 2024 Wedding

I don’t even know where to begin… from the start we fell in love with Lartington Hall back in April 23 when the apartment group had just taken over the venue. Since that point, everyone we worked with within the apartment group were incredible and always on hand to answer any questions. We had to change our wedding date from July 24 to April 25 and the team were so accommodating and made the whole process so easy for us. Eva, our wedding coordinator was just amazing, always there to help and ask the million random questions I had! She never made me feel like I was asking a silly question. We were then handed over to Bekka and Richard for the day itself. From meeting Bekka she was so relaxed and at ease (whilst I was stressing) nothing was too much. The whole day ran so smoothly and she was constantly on hand making sure everything went to plan.. I think this is a super power because she was fantastic. Then to Richard our MOC, Richard was a huge hit with our guests, he was so friendly and again, nothing was too much and he was always on hand to help or answer a question. He even gave me some throat sweets as I lost my voice!! He was brilliant.
Also, to all the team working on the day- super friendly. Thank you to all, you made our wedding day one of the best days of our life. Every single one of our guests commented on how amazing the day was.

The best dday of our lives

We really can’t put into words how amazing our wedding day at Lartington hall was. Being one of the couples who booked before the redecoration we were really worried that we had made the right choice of venue but I honestly wish we hadn’t given it a second thought. The venue is gorgeous but one of the things that stood out for us was the staff who all seemed to genuinely care about us having the best day ever. They all went above and beyond o make sure our day ran smoothly. Everything was just faultless. If you’re considering Lartington Hall for your special day just book it, you won’t be disappointed!

The best day of our lives🤍

We couldn't be more grateful for all the staff at the apartment group for helping us have the best day of our lives, it was really was the most perfect wedding.
From originally booking Whitworth Hall in March 2023 for our March 2025 wedding it wasn't the venue we had originally planned for however it turned out to be everything we could have asked for and more at Lartington.
The organisation was second to none. Emma Cheslett has been there for us every step since 2023 and is a fabulous coordinator so thank you Emma again for all your help!
On the day Becka and Richard were amazing and looked after us both so well. Big shout out to Becka in particular for calming me and my bridal party down (will be forever grateful for you!)
We had so many compliments on the food, drinks and venue itself.
It was the most perfect day of our lives and we would recommend Lartington Hall to anyone!
Ps a big thank you to Donna aswell for all your help, you helped us more than you will ever know!
