Unique and Unusual Wedding Venues in East Riding of Yorkshire

We were married in The Orangery on 14 June 2008. The whole experience from booking the date in Nov'06 to the Day was so well managed by Graham and Margaret and the team. Nothing was too much trouble and every request was catered for. The venue is stunning, the grounds are amazing and have produced some fabulous photos. The Orangery creates such a romantic atmosphere and all of our guests were delighted with everything. We booked the land train to get all of our guests to the venue on time and back again - they all loved it. We had the most perfect day thanks to all at Sewerby Hall. Five star service - thank you

As soon as we stepped out of the car when we first visited Oaklands we felt almost giddy it was so beautiful. That feeling went right on through to even picking up our things the morning after the wedding. Not only is this place drop dead gorgeous, with absolutely anything you could want or need, the staff are also nothing short of excellent. Vicky, our on the day coordinator, especially had such a reassuring air about her for every one of our questions throughout the planning process and and on the day. I was one of those type A brides that come armed with a vision and a detailed chart - and they took it all in their stride and made sure we had the most perfect day. The day was everything we wanted and more. The private moment they make sure you have together before the wedding breakfast, and the magical outdoor first dance in the woods are particularly impressive touches. Johny was the most kind and attentive emcee and DJ. Absolutely made our night - including a special midnight countdown moment. It was perfect. If you are even thinking about booking this venue - DO IT!!!

Jodie and the team at Highfield were absolutely incredible in helping to organise our dream wedding weekend. We hired the venue from Friday lunchtime through to Sunday and were made to feel like royalty for the duration of our stay. We started the weekend with a BBQ for close friends and family on the Friday evening - unfortunately it poured it down with rain so we had to relocate inside - this was however no trouble at all and the staff changed up the grand hall into a beautiful dining room complete with candles and music. The salt beef was some of the best i have ever eaten and the prawns were huge!! All of our guests were looked after by the bar staff afterwards as we all enjoyed a few drinks in the parlour. On our wedding day, Vicki and the team were on hand to make sure that everyone had everything that they needed - including extra hash browns for the bridesmaids! Again, the rain meant that we couldn't have the outdoor ceremony that we had hoped for but this was no problem - the Grand Hall became the most beautiful room i have ever seen and the staff were so quick to organise our guests. Throughout the rest of the day, the team at Highfield could not do enough for us, whether this was ensuring that the bride and groom had a drink or wiping down Groomsmen and Bridesmaids after a spilt drink or two! The team were absolutely fantastic and were on a first name basis with a lot of guests by the end of the weekend. Special thanks go to Abbie, Harvey and Charlotte and also to Vicki who is a literal wonderwoman!! Our wedding breakfast meal was some of the tastiest food we have eaten and despite having nearly 80 guests, the staff ensured that everyone was fed and kept topped up with drinks as a priority. So many guests have complimented our menu and commented on the standard of the food being incredible! We cannot thank Highfield enough for everything that they have done for us and feel genuinely honoured to have been able to spend our wedding weekend with them. If you are thinking about booking your wedding at Highfield, do it! It will be the best decision you have ever made!!
