Couldn’t have been better!

We live locally so knew we wanted to get married at Wentbridge, and they booked us in quickly for a show around and provided us a list of dates. We met with Ellie and throughout the whole process she answered endless questions and provided any information we needed.

The food and drink was as per normal, brilliant! No compliants.

Throughout our wedding day, Karen was absolutely amazing! She was very calming and helpful, couldn’t have done anymore for us. She was brilliant.

Thanks for all your help Ellie, Karen and the whole team 💞

The staff truly make the experience, Thank you!

We got married at Wentbridge in August, and we honestly couldn’t recommend this venue highly enough. From the moment we arrived, we were struck not only by the beauty of the country house itself, with its charming character and stunning gardens, but also by the exceptional service delivered by every member of the team.

The staff truly provide a 5-star experience. They were professional, welcoming, and incredibly accommodating throughout the entire process. Many of our guests even went out of their way to tell us how wonderful the staff were on the day. As a same-sex couple, one of the biggest reasons we chose Wentbridge was because we were treated with complete warmth and equality from the very start. We always felt valued, respected, and celebrated, never “different”, and that meant the world to us.

The food was another major highlight. There were plenty of options and the team were so flexible in tailoring everything to what we wanted. We chose afternoon tea for our wedding breakfast, and it went down brilliantly with our guests, beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. A real luxury touch!

Wentbridge is a perfect all rounder wedding venue. With family travelling from all over, having plenty of rooms on-site was ideal, and the variety of spaces throughout the hotel created a natural, enjoyable flow to the day. We were able to make the most of both the indoor and outdoor areas, giving us the best of both worlds.

A special thank you to Chloe, Ellie, and Karen, who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and their support made the whole experience feel seamless.

Our wedding day was everything we hoped for and more, and Wentbridge House played a huge part in that. We’re so grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a truly exceptional place to celebrate their big day.

Beautiful Venue, excellent experience

Wentbridge house is a beautiful venue for a wedding. The staff are fantastic and went above and beyond for us when we got married there in in June 2025. The food is delicious and the grounds are idyllic. The rooms are beautifully decorate and are modern but have their own traditional style. Nothing was too much trouble and everyone made us and our guests feel special. The day ran perfectly and we could not be happier with how our day went. We definitely recommend Wentbridge to all recently engaged couples looking for the perfect venue! Thank you again to everyone at Wentbridge who was involved in our special day.

We booked our wedding here and it was the most perfect choice! From viewing the venue, to choosing the venue, to all the appointments to ensure everything little detail was covered, to the actual day; it was MAGICAL. Our wedding planner Nicola Guest was so thorough and super helpful and made sure everything we’d imagined became reality. On the day, Karen was also so amazing, making sure any nerves and jitters were settled asap and made sure the day flowed wonderfully. This venue truly holds a special place in our hearts now. Especially seen as our lil boy (dog) could be a part of it too! Thankyou to everyone!

Yorkshire hospitality @ it’s best

From the first time we met Ellie and the team we were blown away by their hospitality and friendliness. Not only are they all very professional but nothing was too much trouble, from the recommended wedding supplies (Martin Hillary, Rosa Rugosa, Hey up Cup Cake) to the orchestration of our Wedding Day. A name check for Stuart who looked after us on the night before at our family meal and on the day, but especially to Karen who was our MC… she was so lovely, friendly, funny and so many of our guests commented on our her own brand of Yorkshire hospitality… and who soon clocked out fun loving approach to life …remember “Enjoy yourself it’s later than you think”. Thanks everyone

Wentbridge House Wedding

This venue is beautiful, we had a perfect day. The day was very hot, the grounds are pretty and well maintained for photographs. The food was delicious and all our guests enjoyed the menu we chose. Ellie and Karen were amazing throughout, Ellie supported with the planning up to the wedding and Karen led the day from the start to after the first dance. Karen did all the master of ceremonies for us on the day.

Not all rooms in the old original building have air conditioning so some of our guests were extremely hot in certain rooms. The bridal suites in the old part do not have air conditioning either so we had 3 fans in the room.
Overall we would recommend this beautiful venue for a wedding ❤️

30th March 2024 wedding

We got married at Wentbridge House on 30th March 2024 - the venue and team completely exceeded our expectations and our wedding weekend couldn’t have gone better. From reserving the date with Ellie the year prior, she has been so helpful, attentive and reassuring in helping us organise the day (& wider wedding weekend) and all the finer details. From hosting our guests the evening before and on the wedding day itself, Karen and Stuart were brilliant, everything went so smoothly and we are so grateful. The weather was great so the gardens made a beautiful backdrop to our drinks reception and photographs. The brilliant food, choice of function rooms inside the venue and the lovely on site bedrooms - there was something for every part of the wedding weekend - we were just so pleased with everything - fully recommend this beautiful venue and extremely professional team.

A massive shout out to our MC for the day Karen she was just amazing and a credit to the hotel, nothing was too much to ask and was there to guide you effortlessly through your day and make sure everything was perfect. Just wish we could do it all over again.

Incredible wedding

We couldn’t recommend Wentbridge as a wedding venue enough! From the moment we visited we just knew it was the place we wanted to get married. We booked and secured our date and from this until the wedding Chloe at Wentbridge couldn’t be anymore helpful, I was sure she must’ve been fed up at how many questions I sent her in the end! Karen and Lucy on the day made our wedding go so smoothly we didn’t have to worry about anything, we’ll always be eternally grateful for such a good team at Wentbridge for making our special day so amazing, we can’t wait to go back and neither can our guests.

The perfect wedding

Wentbridge was the most wonderful venue for our wedding. They couldn’t have been more supportive during the pandemic and when our day came (finally) it was everything we wanted and more. We fully recommend Wentbridge!

Stress free wedding day

Nicole was so helpful and responsive to our emails during the wedding planning period. Stuart who was our master of ceremonies coordinated the day beautifully. In fact, all of the staff were lovely and helpful. The day itself was beautiful and we made good use of the lovely grounds on Wentbridge House to take some wedding portraits.

Attention to detail was impeccable

We recently visited Wentbridge House for the occasion of our daughter’s wedding! The day was perfect from beginning to end! The hotel staff were all polite and attentive and nothing was too much trouble! In fact the service was excellent throughout the day! Special thanks to Anthony who ensured the smooth running of events throughout the day and his attention to detail was impeccable! He truly is a real asset to the organisation! The hotel rooms were immaculate! Clean well furnished and very comfortable with everything you could possibly need. The food at the wedding breakfast,evening buffet and breakfast the next morning was all of the highest standard with service second to none! All in all a truly memorable day! We cannot thank the hotel enough and look forward to visiting…

Fabulous wedding at Wentbridge House Hotel

The staff were amazing, the food at the wedding breakfast was probably the best I have had and I have eaten in Michelin * restaurants. Everyone was so friendly and helpful and ensured that my day and breakfast went smoothly and couldn't do enough to help. I would definitely recommend this place.
I do take grandma for afternoon tea and that is also fabulous especially with the new male version.
