Danby Castle

I was lucky enough to grow up in a village not far from Danby so I knew the area well. Knowing that we wanted to get married with the stunning backdrop of the Yorkshire Moors we set out to find a venue. We had heard of Danby Castle but didn't know too much about the actual building and so we visited a wedding fayre there to see what it was all about. In all honesty, at this stage, we didn't expect this to be THE venue for us, i'm not sure why, we just didn't. How wrong we were!! The surroundings of the Castle are so picturesque but Danby Castle itself steals the show. It is beautiful and as soon as we stepped foot in that wedding fayre we just knew that this is where we wanted to be married. We married in the castle chapel there and spent the afternoon mingling in the grounds in the sun. The team allowed us to conduct our speeches outside in the ruins which we were very pleased about as it gave the whole experience a very relaxed feel. The wedding meal pies were delicious and they catered well for a wedding party full of allergies and dietary requirements. We were picky about the look of our wedding breakfast room and wanted long wooden bench style tables. The team at Danby Castle were flexible with us and allowed us the freedom to make the venue our own, injecting our vision into it wherever we could. The team on the day went above and beyond, even checking in with us when some guests tried to abuse the pre-paid for bar by ordering too many jegar bombs! All of our guests have commented on how perfect the venue was. They particularly loved the variety of rooms and how it felt like you were been lead through the day rather than spending the full day in one room or being booted out whilst the venue turn the room around (which is the case in many other venue we come across). We would highly recommend Danby Castle to all those looking for a wedding venue. Whether the scenery, the food, character or just a great party is your main focus.

Danby castle was by far the most beautiful venue that we viewed and we knew straight away there was no competition, this was the venue for us. We loved that there's a ceremony room on site, a separate room for the dance floor and the snug! The pies were absolutely delicious, so many of our guests commented on how amazing they were. The barn has so much character it barely needed decorating and the views over the moors made for awesome photos. It was quite windy and a bit rainy on our wedding day but the barn easily accommodated all our guests inside in the warm. Overall I don't think there was anything else we could have wanted, it was the perfect venue in all aspects! Thank you so much to the team of Danby castle.

So from the moment we arrived at Danby Castle to view the venue we fell in love with it. You need to visit to see just how stunningly beautiful it is - trust us - you won't regret it. Planning the day was seamless as Carolyn, Max and Phil were wonderful. They made everything so easy and stress free. The day itself was better than we could ever have imagined. The staff were so attentive without being intrusive. The food was AMAZING, all our guests commented on this (we had Pie and Mash, then Fish and Chips). We danced the night away, and we are both so grateful for everything the team at Danby Castle did to make our day so perfect. We can not thank then enough, and would recommend this place to anyone - and so would our guests!!!

From the very first visit to Danby Castle, we knew this venue was the right one for us. We absolutely loved the stunning views of the rolling hills, the castle ruins and the beautiful barn where dinner was served. There was definitely something unique about this venue! Through every step of the process, Carolyn, Phil and Max were on hand to ensure our wedding day was more than we imagined it could be. They were extremely personable, friendly and helpful and pointed us in the direction of a number of reliable suppliers we could use. The food was absolutely delicious and many of our guests have commented on the great service too. This really was the perfect setting for our wedding reception and we couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

Thank you Carolyn and Phil for a wonderful wedding reception. We could not have had a more perfect venue and you were both amazing, you helped every step of the way to make our day special and at such short notice.

As soon as we visited Danby Castle we knew it was the ideal venue for us, the incredible views over the countryside and the beautiful ruins were just what we wanted for our romantic winter wedding. Carolyn and the team were so helpful and flexible during the planning stages allowing us to use the courtroom for our drinks reception and recommending great local suppliers. On the day everything ran very smoothly and the staff were so attentive and friendly, the food was also a real highlight! We couldn’t have wished for a more perfect venue for our wedding day and just wish we could do it all over again! Huge thanks to everyone at Danby Castle! Xxx

we got married here on 19/10/19 and cannot recommend this place highly enough, Carolyn, phil and max go above and beyond to make it your dream day. Nothing was too much trouble and honestly we were so overwhelmed by their support and assistance Thanks Again love mr and mrs brown

I didn’t find any part of the planning of our big day stressful and that was down to the incredible team at Danby castle. From the first email I felt at ease. I was recommended what would work and a photographer that was incredible. Caroline made little choices easier to make with her helpful suggestions. Even clearing up the next day, everything was taken down and ready to remove when we arrived, with left over pizza and tales of all our guests fun. I just wish I could do it all again. Thank you so much.

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone at Danby Castle once again for making our day so amazing. We got married in June 2019 and it was the most perfect day. Getting the right venue is so so important and I’m so glad we managed to find it. It is such a unique venue with a mix of history from the ceremony room and rustic vibes from the converted barn where you have the wedding breakfast. The overall feel is so romantic and not forgetting the stunning views. Everyone has said how fantastic the location and venue was. The team at Danby are so helpful and can help you liaise with a multitude of suppliers to ensure that the vision you have in your head comes to life.

A perfect day in a gorgeous setting with amazing food and service. Thank you
