BEST DAY EVER
We only needed to look around the one venue because as soon as we walked into Danby Castle we knew it was the place for us. Everything about it is completely stunning. The views are uninterrupted and awe-inspiring, the castle ruins are so cool and the kids/big kids loved exploring them. The ceremony room is cosy and intimate whilst still fitting plenty of people in, and the barn for the reception is completely gorgeous. We loved that the dancefloor and bar are in a little add on barn, so you don’t need to do the whole switching around of tables and rooms as required at many venues, leaving plenty of space for people to sit away from the dancing if they need a break.. There’s a brand new, gorgeous getting ready room which was perfect for the bridal party to have their makeup done in the morning. There are quirky little areas/separate barn spaces to use so you move from one area to another throughout the day. Having exclusive hire of the whole place, set in the middle of nowhere, with everyone you love in one place is beyond amazing. The staff were all wonderful in the run up and on the day and loads of guests commented on how fab they were. A MASSIVE thank you to Rachael our coordinator who was so SO helpful at every stage, always contactable and responded quickly to any questions, always totally lovely. We were given free reign to set up ourselves the day before, but you could add as much or as little the venue as you want and it would still be breath-taking without a single decoration added. The food was incredibly tasty, canopes of Yorkshire puddings and sausage suited us to a tee, and the pie and mash main was complemented by everyone there (I am running out of superlatives here!). I cannot believe how lucky we were to get married at Danby Castle. If you are reading reviews to decide whether to book here, stop looking and do it. Best decision ever. Can’t thank you all enough.

The best day ever
Our 2021 wedding at Danby Castle was perfect, start to finish. Such a gorgeous location up on the North York Moors with the most dramatic views. The setting is stunning with the castle ruins, the historical jury room for the ceremony and the beautiful barn for the reception. The whole of Team Danby are absolutely incredible, they were so helpful with the planning and organisation and took all the stress away from us as the couple! On the day, everything went so smoothly, all thanks to Phil and his team. If you are planning a wedding, look no further.

The most magical venue and wonderful hosts
As soon as we turned up at the stunning Danby Castle we knew it was the venue for us, not just because of the venue itself but also because of the inedible warmth and hospitality of the hosts. It was the first place we visited and we only looked at one other venue after it, which confirmed there was no need to look anywhere else. We couldn’t be happier with our choice. We were supposed to get married in 2020, it got rescheduled to 2021 due to COVID-19, then 3 weeks before our new date all the restrictions tightened up again. Carolyn, Phil and the rest of #TeamDanby did absolutely everything they could to make this hectic time as easy as possible for us! I genuinely feel that their ongoing care, support and flexibility helped to keep our wedding buzz alive at a time filled with so much uncertainty! We ended up having the most magical day, wandering around the stunning grounds with our favourite people, taking in the breathtaking views, and dancing outside in the moonlight until almost midnight! We had so many messages from friends and family after the wedding saying how special the venue was. I genuinely cannot recommend Danby Castle highly enough.

Huge Thank You!
To Carolyn, Phil and Max. We just wanted to say a 'huge' thank you to you for everything you did in the run up to, and the day of, our wedding in August. We really appreciate how you allowed us to pop by with our photographer and parents and the advice you gave along the way. We're both so glad we decided to record the speeches! Thank you for helping it all run so smoothly. Lots of love Charis and Ross xxx

A perfect winter wedding!
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
