    Best day of our lives

    I honestly don’t know where to start. What an incredible place with even more incredible staff. My wedding day couldn’t have been any more perfect thanks to this unbelievable venue and people.

    From the moment we booked this venue we knew we had made the right choice. We were looked after by Paige, our wedding coordinator who was always there if we had a question or decision to make. She helped planned our perfect day and we are very grateful for that!

    A special shoutout goes to Jamie, our wedding manager, and Amy. There are not enough words to cover how grateful we are that you both played such an integral part in our wedding day. Jamie and Amy made sure every single part of the wedding was set up beautifully and ran smoothly. We were in safe hands. Throughout the day, Jamie was there to look after us, kept us laughing and genuinely made us feel like royalty. Lartington Hall are unbelievably lucky to have two very special staff members who are dedicated to their job.

    All our guests and suppliers have complimented the staff on how attentive, polite and hard working they were. The staff truly made our day perfect.

    The venue is STUNNING, it’s clean and completely breathtaking. I am gutted I cannot attend again unless of course my friends or family pick this 10/10 venue! The food was sooo lovely and presented beautifully!

    Take a bow Lartington - a venue like NO OTHER!! I cannot fault anything. The best day of our lives.

    If you are thinking of choosing this venue then GO FOR IT, I promise you wont be disappointed!

    Love the Finneys 🤍🩵

    Wedding of dreams❤️

    Me and Tom had the most unbelievable wedding and we couldn’t have asked for more. Eva was amazing at helping us with the planning process and went through every detail with us and kept us at ease. All the staff on the day were unbelievable, we are so grateful for Jamie, we truly felt that he was a friend we’d known for a long time. He was there when ever we needed him and helped us create memories that will last us a life time, and we can’t thank him enough. Our Master of ceremonies was also incredible, from guiding our guests, getting a stain out of my dress and being a kind calming energy when we needed it most. Everything was seamless and we are so grateful to the entire team at Lartington!

    The best!!!

    Jenna!

    Thank you SO SO much!
    We had the most beautiful day we could have ever wished for and dreamed of!
    You are amazing and everyone at Lartington Hall is!!! We could not be more impressed with you all. From organising everything, to supporting us and making sure everything was perfect on the day! You all made it so seamless, there was absolutely no pressure on us because everyone else had everything sorted to make it so special for us and our family.

    Everyone is so lovely, patient, kind and couldn't have done more for us and all of our guests. Not one of you makes Lartington Hall feel like a business, just a special place to create the best day of people's lives. We can't thank you all enough!

    Becca and Richard are just outstanding! Becca gave us our tour around Lartington and Richard was there on the taster evening and we were so impressed with them, so we were absolutely over the moon to get these two wonderful people supporting us through our day.

    The bar staff were soooo friendly, chatty and attentive. All staff were wonderful and helpful. The rooms were amazing (obviously!!!) - thanks to the accomodation team for all of their help with this!

    The food WOW, everyone is absolutely buzzing over the food (again obviously!!!). The best food we have ever had at a wedding. Wish we could eat it all again!!!

    Every single one of you was born to do your job!

    Please pass on the biggest heartfelt thanks to everyone from all of us four ❤️

    Best wishes

    Christie and Andrew, Daisy and Max xxxx

    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!!
