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!

Most amazing day!

We had the best experience ever with the team at Lartington. From the get go we were kept in the loop and provided lots of details regarding the day/ food/drink options/ accommodation and more. I asked a thousand questions all of which the team were happy to answer for us and I felt very relaxed about the whole thing!

On the day of the wedding we were taken care of every step of the way and didn't even think about anything other than having the best day ever. The team on the day were fantastic and everyone commented on how relaxed it all was.

Thank you so much,
Amy and Andy

Emily Made Our Wedding Planning a Dream!

Emily has been an absolute star in helping us plan our wedding at Lartington Hall! With just five months to pull everything together, she made the process seamless and stress-free. Her attentiveness, quick responses, and unwavering willingness to help at every turn have been truly outstanding. We couldn’t have asked for a more supportive and dedicated coordinator. Thank you, Emily, for making our wedding planning experience so wonderful!

Wonderful Lartington Hall!

We held our wedding reception at Lartington Hall in February 2025. All of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was, how well organised the staff were and the quality of the food. It was an amazing day and the staff couldn't have gone any further for us. We would definitely recommend to others.

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and more than we could have ever imagined. Bekka & Richard and all of the Lartington staff on the day were absolutely incredible and ensured the day ran smoothly without issue. All of our guests commented on how stunning Lartington was and how fabulous the day was! Another big thanks to Jenna who has helped us along the way to the day for 18 months and been absolutely amazing! We simply just don’t have enough words for how grateful we are, we don’t think we’ll ever get over the day! Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts

Absolutely Magical 🥂

A massive thank you to our wedding co-ordinator Eva throughout my planning.. she was nothing but helpful, attentive and just amazing!

Jake and I had the best day ever and couldn't fault any of the staff it was perfect and ran smoothly from start to finish! Ruth and Becca were just amazing and I don't think I'd have got through the morning without Becca! She was truly an angel and an absolute credit to the team! 🩷

Best experience ever!

The most magical, exceptional day ever!

Going through the planning process with our wedding planner Beth was easy and she was there to answer any questions. I can't imagine the planning that goes on to make our day go smoothly but can't thank her enough! The staff were so lovely, professional and down to earth. The manager Rebecca made sure the day went to plan, made sure we had time for each other and helped me (bride) by calming me down and going at our pace. Our master of ceremonies-Richard was also lovely and very professional to say he has only been doing it for a couple of months. He helped my husband just before he did his speech and eased his nerves. Little details like this really made our day and showed that they wanted the best for us. Our wedding food was the best food we had ever tasted! The venue itself is so romantic-describing it to friends and family is modern antique and once people were there for our special day, they realized why we fell in love with Lartington Hall.

Wow!! Such a beautiful venue

Our experience of Lartington Hall was incredible from start to finish. Our wedding coordinator Emily was so friendly and helpful through the whole process, the venue was stunning, and the venue staff were so incredible on the day. From sending me mojitos whilst I got ready to a complimentary room upgrade the night before, as well as complimentary confetti and sparklers on the day, my guests had nothing but incredible things to say about our wedding day! I think her name was Becca, but she stood out and was a shining star through the day!
Thank you so much for making our day extra special!!

Our dream wedding - absolutely perfect!

We got married on 25th October 2024 and in one word - perfect! The venue is stunning and we fell in love with Lartington Hall even more when we realised how exclusive the venue was. Emma and the co-ordination team were excellent from start to finish, communicating and attending to every request. The day itself was perfect, Becca Joycelynne and Richard on the day (accompanied by their teams) helped to make everything go so smoothly. We can't think of one thing that went wrong or wasn't done. The staff at Lartington Hall were as excited about our wedding as we were and really blended in with the whole wedding party with their kindness, energy and attention to detail. 5 star all round, would fully recommend Lartington Hall and the Apartment Group - again, special thanks to Emma, Becca, Joycelynne and Richard for making the whole experience so special.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
