A Truly Magical Wedding!

We could not be happier with our decision to host our wedding at The Tithe Barn! The entire experience from start to finish was absolutely magical. The catering was a massive hit. The food was superb, and our guests are still raving about how delicious every single course was. We were especially thrilled that they allowed us to add Yorkshire puddings to our menu, which were an absolute triumph and a huge crowd-pleaser! What truly blew us away was how the venue staff helped us execute a massive secret. We organized surprise wedding singers with the venue team, and they kept the secret perfectly. They coordinated the timing, sound, and logistics flawlessly so that the surprise went off without a hitch. The staff went above and beyond to make our day stress-free and unforgettable. We highly recommend The Tithe Barn to any couple looking for a spectacular wedding experience!

The most beautiful wedding venue

From our first viewing to the big day, we knew that this venue and their team were special. All of the team were so clear and supportive with communication. The food is out of this world and many of our guests said this was the best wedding they had been to! Special thanks to Sam & Laura for looking after us on the big day.

Incredible venue, food and staff!

We had the most incredible wedding here in December this year. The barn had a wonderful Christmas feel and we didn't need to add anything other than flowers and table decor. The food was delicious - the dauphinoise potatoes were a real hit with guests. The day ran so smoothly, the staff were so attentive and on the ball. We then had a great party in the evening! We had so many comments from guests around the food, the staff and the venue - I couldn't recommend Tithe Barn enough!

The Tithe Barn, Place Where Fairytale's & Dreams Come True

The Tithe Barn, my god what else can we say other than it was the perfect place to host our wedding, the staff, food, drink and venue were all outstanding. There was no point during our wedding where it didnt go smoothly thanks to the flexibility and understanding the staff have for hosting a wedding any problems or issues that were brought up prior to our wedding was easily recterfied and sorted for both parties to be happy with the outcome, ie we had some very last minute cancellations and because the food and drink was alreafy ordered for those people, it just ment extra food/drink for the remaining people and a wonderful goodie box of leftovers which i have taken great pleasure in using up, because the food was that wonderful couldnt leave it to be wasted.

Thank you The Tithe Barn, anyone who i know to be getting married i will forsure be sending them your details and your way for there own wedding!!!!!

The perfect Yorkshire wedding venue!

The Tithe Barn was the perfect wedding venue and as soon as we saw it for the first time, we knew it was the going to the be place we were going to get married! The inside is so lovely that you really don’t need to do much more in terms of decoration and the views from the outside of Bolton Abbey are stunning.

In the run-up to the day, the team at the Tithe Barn were brilliant, always quick to reply to emails, happy to jump on calls when needed, and really helpful with all the details. In the final weeks, they made sure everything came together smoothly and took a lot of pressure off us.

On the day, Holly was an amazing coordinator. She and the team kept everything running perfectly, looked after us and our guests, and made sure we didn’t have to worry about a thing. We had so many comments from guests about how great the venue was, and the food was excellent too.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely recommend The Tithe Barn to anyone planning their wedding!

We love the Tithe Barn!

We know it's a cliche, but we had the perfect day at the Tithe Barn! Throughout the whole process, they have been so helpful, answering any questions and having everything on a handy app to make it easy to refer to. When we first went to see it we were struck by how beautiful it is, and the setting is incredible. On the day, they were extremely welcoming and did everything so professionally yet with a personal and relaxed feel. Our guests all commented on how efficient but relaxed the day was run.
A special shoutout to Dan, who helped the bridesmaids set their hair and took the time to arrange my dress perfectly before I walked down the aisle! We can't thank the whole team enough, we would thoroughly recommend the Tithe Barn to anyone, Sophie and David ❤️

What a venue!

We recently had our wedding at Tithe Barn, and it was everything we dreamed of and more. From the moment we saw the place, we knew it was the perfect place to say "I do." The setting is absolutely stunning—beautifully maintained, a huge all incorporating indoor space, and so many thoughtful details throughout.

The staff went above and beyond to make our day run smoothly. From planning to the big day itself, they were responsive, professional, and genuinely caring. The team at Tithe helped us every step of the way and ensured everything was flawless.

Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the setting, the atmosphere, the food, and the overall experience. The venue provided the perfect backdrop for our wedding reception, and the photos turned out incredible.

We feel so grateful to have found Tithe Barn, and we couldn’t imagine getting married anywhere else. If you're looking for a venue that combines beauty, service, and professionalism, look no further!

The Wedding of Our Dreams at Tithe Barn

We recently had the absolute joy of celebrating our wedding at Tithe Barn, Bolton Abbey, and we can honestly say it was everything we dreamed of and more. From the moment we first visited, we were completely enchanted by the breathtaking setting – nestled in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, with stunning views of the river, abbey ruins, and countryside. It’s the kind of place that makes your heart skip a beat and your photos look like something out of a fairytale.

Right from the start, the staff at Tithe Barn were phenomenal. A huge thank you to Sam, who gave us our first tour of the venue and helped us see the potential of the space – her warmth and enthusiasm made us instantly feel at home. And Julia, our coordinator on the day, was a complete superstar. She was calm, kind, and totally on top of every detail. Nothing was too much trouble, and thanks to her, everything ran like clockwork – we were able to truly relax and enjoy the moment knowing we were in such capable hands.

Throughout the planning process, the team were incredibly patient, responsive, and helpful. Whether it was answering endless questions or tweaking timings, they made us feel completely supported. On the day itself, they worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure everything was perfect – and it really was.

Let’s talk about the food – wow! Our guests are still raving about how delicious everything was. It really added to the whole experience and was a huge highlight for us and our guests.

We’ve had so many people tell us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to – and we completely understand why. The venue, the food, the atmosphere, the team – it all came together in the most perfect way. If you’re considering getting married here – do it. You will not regret it for a second.

Thank you, Tithe Barn, for giving us the most magical start to married life. We’ll treasure the memories forever.

We look forward to seeing you both again in the future!

All the best!

The most incredible venue and team - made our day so special!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at this venue - everything was handled with such professionalism, care, and attention to detail from start to finish.

The pricing and process were completely transparent, which gave us confidence from day one. The team were incredibly efficient and responsive, making the whole planning journey feel smooth and under control - no question was ever too much, and they always made us feel like we were in safe hands.

The service was consistently high quality, and the staff on the day were professional, diligent, experienced, and fun to be around – they added to the fun and exciting energy of the day! A big shoutout to Sam who was amazing all day!

We also found the online portal really helpful - it kept us engaged and up to date with every step, making communication with the team simple and organised.

The food and drink were exceptional, both in quality and value - we had so many compliments from guests. And of course, the venue itself is absolutely stunning. Everyone commented on how beautiful the setting was - it truly made for the most perfect backdrop to our day.

One tip for couples... the Tithe Barn directory on their website is fantastic, we used many of them and they were all the dream!

Weddings can be stressful, but the team made it feel calm, effortless, and truly special. Thank you for helping us create memories we’ll treasure forever.

The most perfect day

My partner and I got married at Tithe Barn on 22 02 25 and it was honestly the most perfect day for us.

Right from our first visit to the venue we fell in love with the barn. Add to that how attentive all of the staff have been since we confirmed our booking (right from then all the way through to the days just after the wedding), we could not recommend Tithe Barn and the Cripps & Co staff more.

The ability to use the quote function on the website was a huge plus for us during the venue scouting phase and in the weeks after we had confirmed Tithe Barn as our wedding venue. It's flexibility really did mean there were no hidden costs and it also meant that we went to visit the venue for the first time with a true view of cost (something we found most other venues avoid providing until after you have visited).

Cripps & Co use a portal platform as a one stop shop to keep on top of the wedding quote, timetable for the day, manage supplier information and also as a comms inbox with the staff. This again made our life so so easy, especially with the responses in the comms inbox being so prompt (majority within 24 hours).

We would highly recommend the feast nights as a way to get a real feel for the food that cripps have to offer. We attended in Jan 24 and while the menu wasn't exactly what we were expecting to pick for our own wedding, it gave a large range of what to expect and it was all fantastic. We went home suitably stuffed and it came away with added comfort on how much of a hit the wedding breakfast be (because the food was outstanding). It was a really great evening to say the least and really interesting to sit on a table with other couples that were on the lead up to their day too.

The lead up to the big day felt seamless, with a meeting a few months in advance to confirm everything as well as regular comms whenever needed. A huge positive for us on the day itself was that the team honestly set everything up themselves. While we provided instructions and the required decoration etc, the groom and groomsman only had to drop items off and that was it. This made for a much less stressful morning than I can imagine and know has been the case for family and friends.

We're probably missing a few more points on why someone should absolutely use Tithe Barn as a wedding venue but to summise...you would absolutely not regret it.

Thank you to absolutely all of the staff that were involved. Dan and Laura on the day who were our key contacts during the day and evening respectively, were awesome.
