    Stunning venue and wonderful staff, a dream day!

    We knew very quickly that Lartington hall was the right venue for us, it was stunning without being too overwhelming. Offered a deal too good to turn down we embarked on a shotgun wedding with 3 months to plan. And with the help of the Lartington team we pulled it off and then some! The day itself was a dream come true, despite some intense heat and sweaty conditions, everyone had a wonderful day. All guests commented on the amazing staff and quality of the food. Specific thanks to Jamie and Richard who worked super hard to make sure everything ran smoothly. We had to add last minute reception drinks as they all went quickly and this was no trouble. Overall our only sadness is that we cannot live it all again!
    The planning process did have its stressful parts and there was sometimes quite a delay in responses which resulted in a lot of last minute admin which I had been hoping to avoid. For those with more time however I am sure this would not be as stressful. However it all got done and the day was seamless. Myself and my guests did have some frustrations with getting accomodation booked, however guests did get upgrades during their stay which was greatly appreciated.
    Overall could not have been happier with our wedding venue and would highly recommend.

    Wedding May 2026

    Absolutely stunning venue! We fell in love with this as soon as we came to visit. It has such a grand feel but still really light and spacious which we loved. The food was delicious, the staff team were great in the planning stages replying to my copious emails and questions, and on the day they just ensured everything ran smoothly and I didn’t know if anything wasn’t going smoothly! The rooms are all really nice and there are plenty of nearby options for people not staying at the venue. Jamie was our manager on the day and I cannot sing his praises enough, he made the whole day easier, such a calming presence and just amazing!

    What a day!

    We had the most magical wedding day at Lartington Hall on 1st June.

    The team both on the day and in the lead up to the wedding were second to none. On the day, we didn’t have to think about a single thing, they had everything sorted for us to ensure the day ran smoothly.

    Elle in particular is absolutely incredible, she is a ray of sunshine and we feel so lucky that we had her alongside us all day. We had some last minute changes and she quickly sorted these out without any bother. Elle made our day so special and it couldn’t have been more perfect, we will always be so grateful to her! Thank you so much Elle, you’re unreal!!! 🥲

    Jamie and Richard are also absolutely amazing and looked after us so well! We had so much fun, and were able to completely enjoy our day as they had everything organised and under control. The three of them are the absolute dream team, and a credit to The Apartment Group.

    Lartington Hall is so beautiful and provides the most incredible backdrop for a gorgeous day. We planned an outdoor ceremony but due to the rain we got married in the drawing room instead, and it was absolutely stunning!!!

    The food was amazing, the space is insanely beautiful, and the team are incredible. Our guests are still talking about what a gorgeous day it was, I just wish I could do it every single day!

    If your guests are planning to book the courtyard rooms, I recommend booking these asap. More than six months before our wedding the rooms had already been made available to guests attending the wedding taking place the day after ours, so make sure you book them in early if you need them.

    Thank you so much to the team at Lartington, the day was a dream from start to finish and we will never get over how incredible it was 🤍

    Chelsea and Paul Grainger 🤍

    The Best Day Ever

    From the very first time we set eyes on Lartington Hall we knew this was the venue for us. The grand entrance to the warm welcome of the staff we were a little gutted that this may have been way out of budget. However once we had sat with one of the staff members and went through dates we were quickly surprised at how amazingly priced it was. We quickly booked our date and 2 years later our big day arrived. Kenzie our amazing wedding co-ordinator who helped us on the lead up to the day couldn’t have done more for us, was always there to help with any questions we had. Our day wouldn’t have went so smooth without her. On the day of the wedding we had Elle who was just fabulous!!! She literally went above and beyond not just for me and my husband but for each one of the guests. Lartington Hall is just beautiful, from the grounds, the decor to the staff. We couldn't have asked for a better day!!

    10/10 wedding venue!

    Wow - our wedding at Lartington Hall truly exceeded all our expectations. Right from the start of viewing Lartington Hall as a potential venue, till the moment we left the day after the wedding, we were so impressed with their professionalism, organisation, special little touches and willingness to do anything they could to make our day as special as possible. Our guests on the day commented on how helpful all the staff were and how nothing was too much to ask. Our day ran like absolute clockwork, with passionate staff who were dedicated to making sure our day was 10/10. Special mention to Kenzie for answering all my questions and emails professionally and quickly and finalising all details and plans accurately, Richard who was truly lovely, warm and welcoming to us and all our guests and the amazing Elle who ensured that our wedding was the most perfect day, could not do enough to help us and ensure things were running smoothly and to plan and went above and beyond for us in so many ways on our amazing wedding weekend. The venue itself is stunning, and our guests had so many kind words about the beautiful gardens, inside and rooms, it truly has the wow factor.

    Wedding Perfection

    I don’t know where to start to describe how amazing everyone at Lartington Hall is!

    From our very first visit to the venue we knew this was the place we wanted to get married. The attention to detail shown by staff on this visit was fantastic from having our favourite cocktails prepared on arrival to knowing the small details about how we wanted our wedding to look. We’d like to give a special mention to Elle who did our initial look around and had us sold on the venue in the first few minutes!

    Once we booked Lartington, Paige was our wedding coordinator. She was brilliant, offering little tips and recommendations while still letting us plan the wedding we wanted.

    The day of the wedding we were looked after by Jamie, our wedding manager and Richard, our master of ceremonies - both were incredible and no ask was too great. Jamie ensured our day ran smoothly and accommodated every request we had. Both Jamie and Richard made sure we were never left without a drink and even ensured our families were never without one.

    Jamie spent the night before our wedding getting everything set up for us so we didn’t have to worry about it and could just enjoy the excitement of the build up.

    The venue itself is absolutely stunning and we had so many remarks about how beautiful Lartington Hall is.

    If you are looking for somewhere to get married, we would always recommend Lartington. The venue is a perfect backdrop but the staff make it the best place to get married - we can’t thank everyone enough!!

    Best wedding ever!

    Lartington Hall was absolutely stunning for our wedding, truly better than words can describe. From start to finish, nothing was too much trouble for the team. The staff were incredibly attentive, making sure every detail was perfect and that we felt completely looked after throughout the day.
    We had so many compliments from our guests on both the day itself and the venue, it really left a lasting impression on everyone. I was able to have my dream Bridgerton inspired wedding, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. It was everything we hoped for and more, and we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful or seamless experience.

    An Unbeatable Day!

    We cannot thank Elle, Jamie, Richard, Jenna and the rest of the team at Lartington for our perfect day. Everything ran so seamlessly and honestly, it was stress free. From Elle going the extra mile steaming my dress and Jamie keeping the vibes going, to our boys' little gifts from the team - we were blown away. When I say that I'd follow Elle to war I mean it - she runs a tight ship and knows exactly what a bride needs and when.
    They are the hardest working team with the most amazing attention to detail, nothing at all was too much to ask. Obviously Lartington's beauty speaks for itself, but it was the team that made the day what it was. You won't regret booking your wedding at Lartington Hall!

    Just amazing!

    Lartington Hall is an absolutely stunning venue, it was an easy choice to make in selecting our wedding venue as soon as we walked in. However, whilst the venue is incredible, the amazing staff that come with it are what make this place even more special.

    From the initial booking, our pre-wedding coordinator Emily was brilliant in staying in touch with us, organising several meetings to keep us on track and was always really fast to respond to us with any questions. For over a year she kept all the behind the scenes running smoothly and we can’t thank her enough for the amazing job she does!

    Our on the day manager Bekka, and our Master of Ceremonies Richard were also as incredibly helpful in keeping the day running smoothly, making us and our guests feel totally at ease and going above and beyond to cater to specific needs, even checking in on the family dog for us and inviting him out to the party! Both of them were amazing all day, we’re so grateful for their enthusiasm, professionalism and positivity!

    As well, there was Jamie, an absolute legend who felt more like a friend we’d known for years than a member of staff. He clearly loves his job and surpassed any expectations we had in what looking after a couple and their guests on their wedding day entails. His positivity and love shined and our guests have been raving about him ever since as well. Plus he makes the best espresso martini on the planet and ensured we were always topped up. A true hero!

    Generally, we can’t recommend Lartington Hall and the staff enough. They made our special day even more special and we’re so grateful for them!

    Love Charlotte & Isaac x
