Temple Newsam Full Description
Temple Newsam House and Estate is a wedding venue located in Leeds, West Yorkshire. This truly spectacular stately home dates back to the 1500s and is steeped in romance and history. Fittingly deserved as the Hampton Court of the North, this estate was the birthplace of Lord Darnley, husband of Mary, Queen of Scots. With a splendour of event spaces to choose from, Temple Newsam House and Estate welcome couples to add to its history. We are licensed to hold weddings and civil partnership ceremonies in three stunning rooms of the house; the Great Hall, the Dining Room and the Still Room. Your wedding party will gain exclusive access to the central courtyard and grand entrance of the house, in addition to the South Terrace with views over the park. This stunning location in the heart of Yorkshire filled with unique historical features provides the perfect backdrop for photo opportunities to treasure forever. This Tudor-Jacobean venue has three indoor event spaces to choose from. The Still Room is ideal for quaint ceremonies with close friends and family. Once you've tied the knot, you can experience a one-of-a-kind photoshoot on the South Terrace that overlooks the park. Banquets can follow in The Dining Room before unforgettable receptions take place in The Great Hall. This space has ample space for seated guests, a large dance floor and live entertainment such as a DJ. During the summer months, you and your loved one can make the most of the outside grounds and central courtyard. Here, you can place marquees for banquets as well as receptions. The staff at Temple Newsam House and Estate will work closely with you to ensure that you experience the wedding you've always dreamed of. This site's event coordinators will also show you around the property so you can begin to envision your celebrations. They will take your ideas on board to make sure that no fine detail is overlooked.

Thank you
The gardeners work so hard, we have been coming to Temple Newsam every year for over 30 years and are surprised every year. The beautiful wall garden and benches allow us to sit and enjoy the results of the gardeners' hard work. We are amazed at the hard work that such a small group of gardeners do for Temple Newsam. We are so grateful and want to say a really big thank you to all three of you.

Helpful from start to finish
We have always wanted to get married at this venue and they were a pleasure to deal with. They made the day special and couldn’t do enough during the build up to the ceremony, and beyond, It was an absolute pleasure to work with the guys here, thank you so much!

The whole estate is beautiful, clean and well kept
As a guest to a wedding being held at Temple Newsam House, we were privileged to see parts of the house not normally available to the public. The staff were really helpful. The reception was also held in the marquee located in the walled gardens. Another place worth a visit although the marquee is only open for weddings and private functions, the walled gardens are open anytime with all the flowers in bloom it it gorgeous. There is a charge to go into the house but not the gardens.
