Unreal venue and amazing team

We had 130 guests with another 20 or so in the evening. The venue was perfect. It was great to have some cottages on site so the wedding party didn’t have to worry about any travel plans.

We’d planned for the wedding to be indoors due to it being in October but we lucked out on the day so has the ceremony in the courtyard which was amazing.

The marquee was full for dinner but not cramped and made for the perfect setting for the speeches and food.

Kat was incredible from start to finish in keeping us calm, going above and beyond and all round being an absolute hero. All of the priory team were amazing to deal with from the first visit through to the day. We can’t thank Kat and the team enough for making the day so special and the venue itself was the perfect backdrop. Wouldn’t change a thing!

100% would recommend!!

The most incredible wedding venue

The most incredible wedding venue and the most incredible staff.

We cannot put into words how amazing Serena, Amy and Laura were in both the planning stages and on our wedding day. Nothing is too much trouble - they will answer your questions (no matter how big or small) promptly, put you at ease and do anything they can to make your day everything you want it to be.

We can not thank you all enough

My husband and I have just got married here. Every single guest whole heatedly said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. From start to finish the entire build up and day itself went perfect. There isn't one thing that we would ever have liked to have changed and that's because all who were involved were so talented and dedicated in making our day special

Exceeded all expectations

My husband and I shared our special day with all our family and friends at the amazing venue that is Priory Cottages. From the day we first went and looked round to the morning we left after the wedding, the team were nothing but warm, welcoming and so helpful and accommodating! We knew from the moment we stepped foot in the venue we wanted to have our day there and yet it still managed to exceed all our expectations. We will cherish our memories forever

Gorgeous setting, beautiful interiors and the opportunity to make it entirely our own. That's before mentioning the team of amazing people who work there who make your dream wedding more than you could have ever dreamed possible. We can't wait to come back and visit again

This is just the best wedding venue ever

We cannot thank Serena & Phoebe enough for all their support over the last year. We had the most incredible day, any issue or worry I had they immediately put me at ease and sorted it out for me. I honestly could not have done it without them. The venue itself is stunning , having the cottages onsite makes it so much easier and really makes it a unique wedding venue. So much love for this place x

we recommend & praise the venue and Priory highly

We got married at Priory Cottages in July, and we cannot recommend or praise the venue and Priory team highly enough! Everything about our wedding was perfect; we genuinely felt like we were planning our wedding with friends, as the Priory team are so warm, attentive and helpful! Serena in particular is an absolute superstar, so organised and was genuinely interested in all our wedding plans (not just the parts involving the Priory). Other places that we looked at charged thousands for the kind of wedding planning help that the Priory team give so generously and patiently at every stage of the process. The Priory team worked seamlessly on the day with Taste cuisine and other service providers, with Serena there but unobtrusive making sure everything went to plan and on time. Thank you so so much to the wonderful Priory team for making our wedding so special and perfect - this is a very special place, get married here! Xxx

Priory cottages will always hold a special place i

From the first time we looked around this venue we knew it was perfect for our wedding. Having the immaculate cottages on site allowed all our families and wedding party to come together for longer than most venues which was the icing on the cake for us.

Serena and phoebe are the perfect team. They put us an ease and went over and above to ensure our weekend was prefect and everything ran so smoothly. We cannot thank you both enough!

We would highly recommend this venue if you want some a little bit more special, that will make all your guests say wow. The setting is so picturesque.

We want to do it all again!!

We love Priory Cottages! Our wedding day in December was perfect and I do believe the venue was the starting point for this. It is homely yet impressive, large but intimate at the same time and there is so much you can do with personalising it for your day. With it being a Christmas wedding we went fairy lights mad and it looked beautiful. Our guests loved it. Serena and Phoebe were great during the run up - making the whole thing stress free (well as much as can be!) the cottages are a huge selling point because you can have an entire weekend of celebrations privately with your nearest and dearest. Totally worth it, nothing I didn't love-
Thankyou X

Instantly Fell In Love

We looked at the Priory Cottages after a friend recommended it and we instantly fell in love! The venue has everything we could ever need. The barn was just the right size for an intimate wedding and the marque was the perfect blank canvass for us to create our own style. Having the cottages available to us for our family made it a real celebration that lasted more than just a day! However it is not just the venue and the cottages and the beautiful surroundings that make this place the best venue for a wedding – it is the brilliant team we had supporting us! Serena was incredible – making sure we were on track, stopping us from panicking and rolling her sleeves up and getting stuck in (she was even at the ready with plasters when I managed to cut my hand!). The venue is amazing but the team we had on hand made the day run so perfectly! We couldn’t have asked for more! Thank you so much! Kayleigh and Paul Xx

Our daughters wedding was the most beautiful unique and fantastic experience made easy by Priory Cottages attention to detail. Right from the beginning we knew we had found the perfect place to celebrate with all our family and friends the start of our daughters life with the love of her life. From arriving on the Friday afternoon Serena made sure everything came together the way we had imagined and planned. The cottages, grounds,barn and the marquee are beautiful with the added extra of making it bespoke to make this special event unique. What a fantastic wedding .....no doubt Priory Cottages and Wedding Venue is the perfect place to start your life together.

My wife and I had our wedding at Priory Cottages August 6th this year.
When we first started to look at where to host our big day we visited a lot of venues however, none compared to Priory Cottages.
The cottages are amazing equipped with everything one might need for a weekend away. The barn and marquee stunning, we had the freedom to do as little or as much in terms of making it our own. The setting in the beautiful North Yorkshire countryside is perfection, you really get the sense that magical days happen here.
What really stands Priory Cottages out from others is Serena. When looking at other venues in the area we got the impression that we were just another couple and this is just another wedding for them.
You don't get the feeling that this is just a job for Serena, she genuinely loves what she does. From our first meeting until our last Serena and the equally lovely Phoebe were always on hand providing us with advice, guidance and whatever was needed to ensure our day was as special as could be. It's cliché but I really do believe that its people that make the difference from ordinary to extraordinary experiences and we both feel incredibly lucky to have had Serena helping us along the way.
Our big day was perfect, we both had the time of our lives. All of our friends and family joined us for the weekend at the cottages, having everyone in one place during the build up to our big day was just incredible.
I cannot recommend enough. We had the best day, thank you Serena and Phoebe for all your help! Lots of love Paul and Charlotte x

We got married at Priory Cottages on 27th May 2016 - and the day was PERFECT! I would like to say a huge thank you to both Serena and Phoebe for their help throughout the whole planning process and also for keeping me calm on the day. Knowing that someone was there to build the giant jenga, light all the candles, greet our guests and making sure my dress was perfect as I walked down the aisle allowed us to both relax and enjoy the day! It is such a great feeling to know that your wedding day is in such good hands! They really do love what they do and it really shows.
Thank you again!!!
