About Us
The Oakwood at Ryther is a Family run Wedding Venue in the heart of the Yorkshire Countryside. Once a generations old family farm, Oakwood has been lovingly and stylistically transformed into a breathtaking venue and the perfect place to celebrate your special day. Offering two modern contemporary barns and luxury accommodation for up to 34 people, and beautiful landscaped grounds, every element of Oakwood has been specifically designed with your wedding in mind.
Facilities and Capacity
The Old Grain Store’s original wooden beams and exposed brick work have been carefully restored and now sit effortlessly with the contemporary luxe styling inside. Soft ceiling drapes are accentuated by statement chandeliers, adding modern elegance to the building’s rustic character. The grand central staircase, combining natural wood and sleek glass panels, leads to a luxurious cocktail lounge, overlooking the bar and the dance floor.
The Ceremony Hall is a breathtakingly grand space, featuring huge whalebone oak arches and a traditional York stone floor, (and most importantly, a Prosecco bar!) The Ceremony Hall’s church-like setting is the perfect place to say ‘I Do’.
Accommodation
Just across the courtyard from the Old Grain Store and the Ceremony Hall sits the Accommodation Barn. Sleeping up to 34 people, in 15 bedrooms, the accommodation also boasts a huge open plan kitchen, dining area and living space within a beautiful glass and oak double height extension.

Book this venue immediately
As soon as I stepped foot into The Oakwood I knew I could never get married anywhere else.
Wow. This place is what dreams are made of, visually it’s stunning but it is also the most well thought out and designed wedding venue I’ve ever known (and I’ve worked in Hospitality). Huge well done Ian and Janette. The family at Oakwood are special, caring and have impeccable customer experience skills. Nothing was too much trouble.
On the day Jess and Emily were spot on, everything ran to time, was perfectly executed without fuss - they were calm, passionate and excited. You’d never get this level of service or professionalism at a hotel wedding, which is exactly why we booked Oakwood.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the most perfect day.

Perfect venue for a Perfect Day
Our wedding event at The Oakwood at Ryther was nothing short of perfect! From our first contact with Janine and Ian at a Wedding Fair in York when they were just setting up their business, to the dream team working at the venue on the day. The team here work excellently together.
We are so thankful that Simon was there, keeping things on time and interacting with guests. Our guests loved finding out more about the venue on the day from him.
Becky is a star! Nothing was ever too much hassle and she answered all our questions in the lead up to the wedding promptly. During the time we were on site she was on hand to deal with any last minute things that came up, liaise with our suppliers and keep the day moving on smoothly. She checked in with both of us throughout the wedding day, but she was never intrusive.
The rest of The Oakwood team from the bar staff to the cleaners were also polite and friendly to deal with.
The venue itself is stunning, and our guests continue to comment on how wonderful the buildings, interiors and setting was. We loved the on-site accommodation for our closest friends and family, which was spacious and clean. It felt like a home away from home for the time that we were there.
Thank you again to everyone at The Oakwood, we are still awe-struck by the perfection of the day! x

Amazing service
We attended The Oakwood at Ryther as guests recently. The highlight of the day for us, apart from the beautiful weather, was the wonderful bar!
With a variety of cocktails, spirits, beers and pale ales myself and my wife were never short of choice. The amazing customer service from all bartenders and the team wandering around was nothing but perfect.
Thank you for such a wonderful day.

We got married here on the 19th March 2022 and to say it was the best day of our lives is an understatement.
The team were incredibly professional, gave great care to every small detail and were there every step of the way to guide us through the whole process. The worked seamlessly with all our suppliers and took the stress out of planning.
I have no words… apart from can we do it all again!
I wish them all the best, they really do deserve every success that is sure to come their way.

BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES
BEST DAY EVER!! We can’t speak highly enough of the team at Oakwood - we truly had the best day of our lives and felt so incredibly lucky to get married at such a stunning venue ❤️
The Oakwood was the first wedding venue we viewed and from the moment we arrived, we knew it was going to be impossible to beat (and it was!). From the stunning romantic ceremony barn with its twinkly fairy lights to the incredible reception room with the fun mezzanine to the most luxurious on-site accommodation, we knew we could build the most perfect wedding weekend of our dreams with all our favourite friends and family, and that’s exactly what we did with the help of the team.
The whole team were exceptional and made the day run smoothly without a hitch which meant we could enjoy it and not worry about a thing. All our guests commented on how well looked after they were and nothing was too much trouble.
We can’t thank you enough for everything you did and giving us truly the most perfect and special day (wish we could do it all over again!). Love Lauren & Dave Harrison, 26.02.22 xx

Faultless!
The wedding venue of dreams!! I feel so lucky to have got married at such a beautiful place. Every last detail of the venue is finished off to the highest standard. We booked the Oakwood way before it was completed as once we had seen the wedding reception barn I knew there was no where else that would compare, and even though the rest was a building site at the time, I knew it would be amazing. Our wedding was postponed due to covid and the lovely members of the Oakwood team helped us every step of the way with all the stresses associated with that. They were fantastic on the day too, so friendly and helpful. I couldn’t emphasise enough how beautiful and special this venue really is. Thank you oakwood! X
