The Perfect Rustic-Modern Wedding Venue!

We can't even put into words how fantastic the team at Bowers Mill were in coordinating and executing our wedding.

Bowers Mill was the first (and last) venue we looked at in our search for where to have our wedding. From the first glance we had at on their website, we knew that this was the perfect venue. Seeing it in-person confirmed this for us - I admit, we both teared up when we both first saw it.

We had the pleasure of working with Hannah in planning our wedding. She was incredibly friendly and proactive in the planning stage, and we enjoyed meeting with her at several points in the lead-up to the big day. We discussed many adjustments that were required, such as alcohol-free, dietary requirements, and children's meals, and all of these were accommodated.

After seeing the many decorations that they had to offer, our simple request was "make it pretty", which they executed to a high standard. Many guests commented how gorgeous the venue was; from the outside patio, to the spacious breakfast and reception area, to the intimate and rustic ceremony room.

Not only did they ensure that the venue looked beautiful, but the day ran smoothly and without any issues. Everything ran to time and to a high quality and standard. One of our guests even had to ask if we had rehearsed the entire day with the venue since it ran so seamlessly!

I'm sure that many engaged couples, when looking for their perfect wedding venue, will also be thinking about costs. Unlike other venues, there are no hidden costs. The quote we originally received in September 2023 remained the same all the way through until our wedding day. No extra costs for decorations or cutlery; what you see is what you get. We believe that we received incredible value for the money we paid!

If you are thinking about booking this venue, we cannot recommend it enough! The team work so hard that you don't need to stress about the small details; you can actually enjoy your wedding day as you should.

Thank you again to the amazing team, we will always remember sharing our special day with you!

Amazing venue!

Words will never do this incredible venue justice. It was the only the second venue we viewed but as soon as we saw it we knew it was the place we wanted to be married and cancelled any other viewings at other venues. From the moment we walked in the door to view to our wedding day we couldn’t have asked any more from the staff. Our coordinator Lucy was amazing and every question and email was dealt with quickly and nothing was ever too much trouble. We visited the venue on each open day they had and loved it more and more and more each time! We have had so many compliments about how lovely the venue and staff were on our wedding day and would highly recommend The Venue!

Wedding 23.08.25

We got married here on Saturday 23rd August 2025 and had a wedding that truly exceeded all our expectations. From the very beginning, the communication and organisation with the team were first class — nothing was ever too much trouble and every query was handled with care and professionalism.

On the day itself, everything ran seamlessly, exactly as we had imagined down to the finest details. The running order went perfectly to plan, which allowed us to relax and just enjoy every moment. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue looked, how polite and attentive the staff were, and — most importantly — how absolutely delicious the food was.

The food options were outstanding, and one of the highlights of the day. We decided to go for sharing boards rather than the traditional three-course meal, but we also had a taster of both during our planning. Both options were utterly delicious, and the wide variety of dishes gave us the chance to really personalise our wedding breakfast to our own tastes. Guests loved the choice and the quality was exceptional throughout.

A special mention must go to our wedding coordinator Lydia, who was simply outstanding. She had everything prepared, was always on hand if needed, and kept the whole day flowing effortlessly in the background. Her calm, organised approach meant we never had to worry about a thing.

If we could do it all again, we wouldn’t hesitate to choose this venue. We can’t thank the team enough for giving us the most unforgettable and magical day.

Wedding Review May 2025

What an amazing day we had! Everything ran so smoothly and was everything we had dreamed of and more. From the beautiful rustic and unique venue, the friendly and helpful staff, and the amazing food.

From viewing the venue, we fell in love with it and knew we had to get married there, we booked it there and then. Nothing was too much trouble, everything we asked for was done. I felt settled and had no stress or worries about the venue and everything that went with it.

Hannah was our amazing wedding coordinator and was present throughout our special day to ensure it went perfectly. Even when being roped in to role playing last minute with the undercover waiters and being a sport!!

We would recommend 100% and would do it all again in a heartbeat! Thank you for being a part of it ❤️

The best day

We couldn't recommend Rebecca and the team at the Venue enough! As soon as we viewed the venue, we knew it was going to be the place for us. We were made to feel so welcome, and we really couldn't have asked for anything more during the planning process and on the big day itself.
We had the most wonderful day, and we think that is a testament to Rebecca and the team for keeping it running so smoothly. We didn't have to worry about a thing and were able to just fully enjoy the day.
The venue itself is so versatile; we were able to use the full room for a ceilidh, but then close it off to have a smaller dance floor for the DJ. We mixed up our table shapes to accommodate our table plan, and we have had lots of compliments on the food too!
We would highly recommend booking The Venue, you'll have the best day!

Incredible!

We had our wedding at The Venue last week and honestly it was incredible. The Venue team couldn’t have done enough for us. Lydia was our wedding coordinator on the day and she was amazing, so calm and efficient, nothing was too much. The Venue is stunning and all the staff were so friendly. I wish we could relive our wedding day every year at The Venue! The food was outstanding and everything was reasonably priced. Thank you so much to The Venue for making our day so special 🤍

Wedding Day 08.08.25

We had our wedding at The Venue on Friday 8th August and it couldn’t have been a better day.
All of the staff were fantastic, but Hannah, in particular, was just incredible. We genuinely didn’t want for anything, and anything we needed was provided immediately. Both of our families commented on her organisation and control of the day and we cannot thank her enough.
As two nervous brides we were made to feel calm and really, really special as soon as we arrived (from the moment we came to look around, to be honest!).
We’ve had nothing but compliments on choosing such an amazing venue as well as how dreamy the food was. And it really was.
Thank you so much to The Venue for making our dreams come true xxx

Best in the business!

We had our special day at The Venue on 19th July and we can't thank them enough! From the second we walked in to view it in December 2023, we knew it was the one. Every single member of staff is so attentive and compassionate towards you and really do everything they can to make your special day exactly what you want! Myself and my husband would like to specially say a huge thank you to Hannah, our wedding coordinator! From our first meeting with her, she put us at ease and really guided us with what we needed to do and so forth. On the day, she was always on hand to offer support to both ourselves and our guests and she really went our of her way to ensure our day ran smoothly!

We really couldn't speak highly enough of the Venue, they made our wedding day the best day ever!

Thank you so much From the new Mr and Mrs Sharples x

Hannah was fantastic

One of the best decisions we've ever made was choosing the venue. Every couple is made to feel so special all the way through the planning. They were fantastic help all the way, with regular catch ups and always open to questions. The day went so smoothly, everything just felt under control. Really special place- thank you so much

The BEST Venue!

We honestly could not recommend The Venue enough! Lydia and the team are absolutely incredible! From the first moment we came to visit, to the six-month and one-month meetings, to the day itself, the team made sure they really understood our vision for the day which made everything run so smoothly. The space is perfect for both indoor and outdoor events, with a gorgeous industrial interior and incredible countryside views outside. All the food was absolutely delicious and everything can be adapted to suit dietary requirements which our guests really appreciated. The team give you the flexibility to make the space and the day your own and you really feel like everyone wants to help you have the best day possible. We cannot thank the team enough for everything they did to make our day so perfect and fun!

The perfect venue

We highly recommend The Venue, we had the most amazing day for our wedding. We looked at multiple places but The Venue was a stand out. The whole day ran so smoothly and was perfectly executed, Lucy was the most amazing wedding coordinator, she went above and beyond and helped us through all the craziness of wedding planning! The Venue itself is beautiful and everyone thought the food was phenomenal. You should definitely get married here.

The best team ever!

We cannot recommend The Venue more highly for a rustic but modern feel. The different rooms of Bowers Mill allow space and flexibility to do whatever you want on your day. It is set on the stunning backdrop of Yorkshire fields with a small steam and gazebo outside. The team, especially Lucy our coordinator, went above and beyond to make sure planning was stressfree and everything ran smoothly on the day; we felt well looked after through the whole process. Also the onsite kitchen - just amazing! All our guests commended the food, it was delicious and a bit different to your average wedding food. They also allowed us to bring in external caterers for our Indian lunch meal which was really important to us and not many other venues would allow. Overall, for the amount spent, they offered so much and made the day so special and we can’t thank them enough!

What an amazing venue!

The place is stunning but the staff are even better! Quality people help to make anything in life better but these guys go above and beyond and couldn’t do anymore to ensure our day was perfect. From start to finish they were so accommodating and so polite and all the last minute changes were just dealt with without any hitches. Our day was perfect and it’s all down to the team - so thank you so much!

Truly wonderful

Without doubt a 5-star venue for weddings from our experience. We cannot thank all of the staff at The Venue enough, everything at our wedding in August was just how we hoped it would be and more. A special thanks to our coordinator Lydia. Everything about the whole process was wonderful; booking, liaison during planning, every bit of extra detail and effort on the day. Nothing was too much to ask and the place is just stunning. And the food… the food is amazing! We had so many comments on the venue, our guests loved it and could see why we fell in love with it. We strongly recommend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.

I have worked at The Venue for three and a half crazy years now!

The best part of working at The Venue for me is how everyone who works here, and anyone who we have the pleasure of seeing get married here feels like family. From the most wondering colleagues to the amazing couples I have had the pleasure of helping, I am so incredibly grateful for the privilege of working here.

My favourite part of the wedding day is often times the first look, whether you choose to do this with your partner beforehand, or even if the first time seeing each other is walking down the aisle, the emotion you can see on someones face makes me almost as emotional as the couple!

It’s been nearly 2 and a half years since I started working here and I have loved every minute of it! I have always loved weddings and party planning for family and friends. I fell into this role and couldn't imagine doing anything else now.

My favourite part about the job is when I get to do a viewing, meeting and run a wedding day with the same couple, it is so lovely to see it all come to life and be apart of the special day. On the daily, working with such an amazing team also means the world!

My favourite part of the wedding day is actually the speeches!! I think it is so lovey to hear what everyone has to say about the couple.

Wedding and Event Coordinator

I actually started in September 2017 as a floor staff member, then moved to working on the bar when I was old enough. After a couple of years I was then chosen to be a Team Leader. In September 2021, I was promtoted to Wedding and Events Supervisor and began working full time. A year later I became a Wedding and Events Coordinator which I love and am still doing today. I now Coordinate alongside Events Sales too.

If I had to pick my favourite part of a wedding day I’d say showing the couple the room before guests are seated for the wedding breakfast. This is always so special as it’s the first time they get to see the room that they have spent months trying to visualise in their heads. They get to wander round the tables taking in each detail and see everything come together. Additionally, it’s a time where the couple can have a moment together, away from their guests. It’s so special!
