When we found The Engine Shed, we realised there was something special to it, especially after seeing a series of plain white rooms! The building is beautiful and much more spacious than it appears from the outside. The mezzanine gives a great bit of extra space, and the way the areas were used really allowed for the turnaround times to be executed seamlessly. Throughout the planning process, we had the absolute pleasure of working with Lee and Jen. Both are friendly, enthusiastic and genuinely want to ensure your event meets all of your wants and needs. Having never planned a wedding (or in fact anything bigger than a dinner for 8 people) before I was so happy to be in knowledgeable hands. We were in regular contact which left any questions I had answered quickly and fully. We had a tasting with Dave before the wedding, delicious food that we discussed some tweaks for. For the meal at the wedding, these had been carefully considered and everything was absolutely fantastic - I'd have eaten the meal three times over! The staff on the day were incredible! I've had so much feedback from guests about how friendly everyone was. The bar staff were efficient and warm in delivering drinks orders for guests. Jen was always somehow available to support us, despite I'm sure lots of work behind the scenes to encourage the day along with our plans. It was great to see Lee there too supporting the team. Emma the bar manager is fantastic. She runs a tight ship with a proactive attitude that helped ensure our guests had their fill of drink. Last (but certainly not least) is the working relationship The Engine Shed have with suppliers. We were easily able to work out decorations and DJ for the event through this, we found our photographer at a wedding fayre we attended on site, and Lee was able to put us directly into contact with a celebrant we'd seen in our own research. This added to the support and confidence of working with The Engine Shed, which greatly benefited the ease of planning and made for a much improved experience for our guests on the day. Thank you so much to Jen, Lee, Dave, Emma and all staff for your support in planning and executing what was an amazing day!

From start to finish, our experience with The Arches was amazing. We worked with Kat and Sam and there wasn’t a question they couldn’t help us with or a request they couldn’t fulfill. Sam especially went to extra lengths to ensure the wedding was our own and all our guests were extremely happy. We had the most incredible day and it was all thanks to them!

Being locals to Manor House we have always loved the venue and enjoy spending many an afternoon or evening drinking or dining, therefore choosing them as our wedding venue could not have been more of a perfect choice. Frankie, Jaine and Manuel were incredible from the start, from communication, co-ordination, attention to detail and accommodating our requests to make our day so special. They were all so easy to talk to, friendly, funny and really made us feel so welcome and looked after. Many of our guests commented throughout the day on how wonderful all the staff were and what a fantastic venue it was. We really did have the most incredible weekend celebrating with friends and family and we couldn’t have wished for anything more. Thanks so Manor House. There is definitely a reason as to why the team were crowned Best Events Team at The Wedding Industry Awards 2024… how lucky we were to have them! Thank you all so much! Mr and Mrs Batler 🤍

Headley were quick to respond from the word ‘go’. As soon as we had our initial meeting, looking round the venue and discussing options, we knew we wanted to have our wedding celebrations here. Everything was well coordinated on the day, they were friendly and professional and took any stresses away from us that we may have had. The food was amazing, plenty of choices on the buffet ranges and the drinks were reasonably priced. We had so many compliments from guests about the decor inside and general location of Headley. Amazing views and plenty of perfect backdrops for photos.

We'd been to see a lot of venues before the Hovels was suggested to us and from the moment we saw it we knew that it would be the place for us. We knew we wanted a smallish wedding and the atmosphere in the Hovels was perfect. The glass really gives the room a light, airy feel even on a cloudy day. They have stretch tent outside which is perfect for lovely evenings and there are a lot of other extra things that they can do to really make the space look beautiful. They also have a bar onsite and a huge field (we covered it in lawn games). Josh and the team were fantastic to work with. They do in house catering and we haven't heard the end of it yet from our guests. The food is stunning and sourced from the Harewood Estate. On the evening they were really helpful, made sure we had everything. They really made the day so much smoother than I was expecting. Honestly, it was the perfect venue. Thank you!

I loved everything about this wedding venue. 1) the staff: the personnel is so professional and welcoming. My husband and I were assigned a wedding planner - Sophie - (FREE OF CHARGE!) and she was absolutely fantastic. She accommodated all of our requests, and even accommodated last minute changes seamlessly. She took care of all our vendors and coordinated every aspect smoothly! I was completely stress free on the day 2) the venue: this venue was just perfect. My husband and I travelled the whole of England trying to find the perfect venue and the moment we viewed this one we were lost for words. Everything about this venue gives luxury, classy and elegance. You can tell that a lot of hard maintenance work goes into keeping the venue spotless. We’re from London and all our guests were confused as to why we chose Bradford BUT the moment they arrived they were incredibly surprised and only had good things to say. We opted for the unlimited mocktails bar and everyone loved it - the drinks were of good quality. Quite a lot is included in the fixed venue fee of 10k. You don’t really have to even decorate the hall because as part of what you pay (the 10k) all the tables come dressed with linen, cutlery, centrepieces, table numbers, florals! This is insane ! All the other venues we went to see charged extra ££££ for this! And because the venue already looks luxurious you don’t have to do much, like for example the floor is made of a beautiful white marble so you don’t really need a dancing floor. The walls in the hall have already been painted and decorated by the venue itself to have a luxurious feel. For any other venue we saw we would have had to pay extra £££ to achieve this look. We did however choose to have additional florals, for the high table. Walton View works in partnership with Tayibsweddings and we got a very good price for the look we wanted to achieve for the high table and ceremony room. 3) the rooms on site: the honeymoon suite will make you feel like a queen. It’s absolutely stunning and luxurious. The rooms for the guests that stayed on site were also immaculate. Wow. Every aspect was just perfect! We took the train there and back and it was fairly straightforward from London. Walton View made our dream wedding become a reality! Thank you so much to the team at Walton!
