The perfect venue
We got married at Danby Castle Barn on 5th August 2026, and from the moment we booked our wedding, we knew we had made the perfect choice. Looking back now, we genuinely couldn’t imagine celebrating our special day anywhere else.
From the very beginning, both of us were given incredible support and guidance. The team were always there to answer questions, offer advice and reassure us whenever we needed it. That level of care continued right through to the big day, and it made such a difference during what can otherwise be a very stressful time.
The venue itself is simply stunning. The location, scenery and setting provide the most beautiful backdrop for a wedding, and every part of the day felt incredibly special. It was everything we had hoped for and more.
The food deserves a huge mention too — it was absolutely amazing! Our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was, and the quality and presentation were fantastic.
Most importantly, the staff were incredible. Everyone we came across was friendly, professional, welcoming and genuinely invested in making our wedding the best day possible.
A very special shoutout has to go to our wedding coordinator, Abby. From the moment we started planning, Abby was absolutely fantastic. She supported both of us throughout the entire journey and helped make everything feel so much easier. On the wedding day itself, knowing Abby was there gave us complete confidence that everything was in safe hands. We honestly cannot thank her enough for everything she did for us.
Danby Castle Barn wasn’t just our wedding venue, it became part of our wedding story. It gave us memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives, and we will always look back on 05.08.26 with the biggest smiles.
Thank you to the entire team for helping make the wedding of Ben & Hollie everything we dreamed it would be. We would recommend Danby Castle Barn to anyone looking for the perfect wedding venue. ❤️
With endless thanks,
Ben & Hollie -

Our wedding day on the 29th July 2026
We got married at Danby Castle on the 29th July 2026 and we couldn’t have chosen a better venue to celebrate our special day! The setting was the most perfect place to tie the knot, and the beautiful buildings and countryside made our day feel like us.
Our wedding coordinator, Katherine, made our day go so smoothly from start to finish. No request or question was too much, and she made the day flow perfectly. She is a credit to the whole Danby team, and as a whole they were so supportive throughout our time with them, right from booking through to our wedding day. The little touches they added on our day, including contributing to our guestbook were such a lovely surprise addition that made us smile even after the day was done.
If we could relive our wedding day again I would choose Danby over and over without a second thought. They have helped us create memories of our special day that will last a lifetime, and for that we cannot thank them enough ❤️ -

The team at Danby know what they're doing. They had great advice for us when planning, but also allowed us the flexibility to do things as we wanted them.
Our coordinator on the day was so calm and helpful.
The outdoor space as well as the barns are so beautiful, we hardly needed to do any decoration.
The food was great and well-reviewed by our guests!
Would highly recommend. -

We got married at Danby Castle on the 6/6/26 and had Natasha as our wedding coordinator. She, alongside the rest of the team, were amazing from the point of booking till the end of our night. Every question we had got answered fast by either Natasha or another member of the team. We had some issues with guests dropping out last minute but Natasha was really lovely and supportive during this and helped us swap new people in and move meal selections around. The food at the venue is amazing and all our guests had lots of good things to say about it, as well as how pretty the venue itself was. I couldn’t fault it and we absolutely loved having Natasha with us on our day, she was such a big help and really fun to have with us! -

Wow! We have just had our wedding at Danby Castle Barn and it was fabulous. If you’re looking for a venue which offers true beauty with dedicated staff who cannot do enough for you, this is the place for you!
Natasha was our wedding planner and she was truly fab, I had a disaster when one of my booked professionals did not attend and she was straight on it, even offering to drive to Whitby to buy make up! Instead, by some miracle they found me a professional make up artist who came within 20 minutes and was amazing. For this I will always be truly grateful.
The whole day ran seamlessly, all the staff are professional and everything from the registrars, the waiting staff, chefs and DJ were second to none. The feedback from our guests was all positive, the food is amazing no one will leave hungry! We also had our dog with us and she was even made to feel special and very much part of the day!
Natasha is so professional but also very passionate about making you feel special, it felt like more than a job to her, she even shed a tear when my dad got upset.
We can honestly say it was the best day of our lives, made all the more special by the staff and the venue, it’s a very special place and we will be forever grateful for all the memories it created.
Many thanks

From our first viewing to our wedding day; Danby always felt special. The venue itself is so lovely. The mix of the rustic and modern finishes works beautifully and the stunning scenery is an added bonus! The staff were great from start to finish and our wedding coordinator Abby was fantastic. She was so organised, welcoming and bubbly throughout our day.
The food for our canapés and wedding breakfast was brilliant and the choice we had was great! In fact, some of our guests said it was the best wedding food they have had.
The drink selection at the bar and the prices for a venue that is quite remote was fantastic.
We organised a coach to take us and our guests back to our accommodation afterwards, both of which were recommendations from the team.
We loved having our wedding day here at Danby castle barn and highly recommend it to anyone who is thinking of getting married here. -

Clare Sent on 09/04/2026Wonderful!
We had our wedding reception at Danby Castle Barn in March 2026 – it was the most incredible day, and the team at Danby are fantastic. When we came to view the site we were immediately very struck by how friendly and accommodating the staff were, and we loved the different spaces on site for people to be able to spread out and relax whatever the weather. We also appreciated that so much was included in the package.
From the moment we booked to the day of the wedding, the staff have been absolutely brilliant. I remember having a few worries early on about various logistical issues, and not living locally we couldn’t just pop down on the open days, but the team at Danby were so helpful at answering my questions. Our food tasting was spectacular, and it was so lovely to have that in the new Daleview Barn. Also really helpful to have a group tasting to see what the space would look like with lots of people in.
Planning the schedule for the day was made so easy, thanks to Kaylie and Natasha. Both were absolutely brilliant. Kaylie had an initial planning meeting with us, which was super helpful, and then Natasha took us through our final details meeting and was our coordinator on the day – honestly I don’t know what we would have done without them! Nothing was too much trouble, they were both so helpful at accommodating last-minute changes when some guests dropped out, and they really made us feel special. Kaylie and Natasha are both outstanding.
From the moment we arrived at the venue on the day everything just flowed. Natasha was there to greet us with a glass of fizz (we had our ceremony off-site) and took us up to the jury room to enjoy our canapes in peace – we really appreciated having that time to ourselves to take everything in, and she was always there during the day to help and answer any questions. The drinks reception was great fun – the canapes went down a treat with our guests! – and the wedding breakfast was spectacular. The food was outstanding; so many of our guests have said it’s the best wedding food they’ve ever had, and we were all absolutely stuffed. The chefs are fantastic, especially at accommodating dietary requirements. We had a couple of guests with awkward allergies, but nothing was too much trouble for the team. We had a large guest list (c.100), and so we really appreciated the efforts that the staff went to to make sure everyone was fed and watered. The waiters were prompt and efficient – everything just worked!
Bar staff were great and efficient, and our night manager, Ben, was fantastic too. We had the best day, and our only complaint was that the day just flew by! We would absolutely recommend Danby and would love to go back for another event.
