Full Description
Whinstone View is located in Great Ayton, surrounded by North Yorkshire countryside and with Roseberry Topping as a backdrop it's a fabulous location all year round. Wray's Barn is a rustic, yet elegant barn which will be the hub for your special day. The spacious barn benefits from lots of french doors looking out onto the stunning grounds, which creates a light and airy feel. The barn has beautiful features such as wooden beams and exposed brick to give it that rich, rustic feel. The barn can hold up to 150 guests and we can also tailor the barn to suit smaller, more cosy weddings. The barn also features an external veranda, which is perfect for guests to enjoy sitting outside during warmer weather, but as part of the veranda is sheltered you can even enjoy the outside space in colder weather. We also have a private courtyard which is only accessed through the barn, which creates even more space and intrigue. We pride ourselves on the standard of wedding food we offer at Whinstone view. We have a vast array of packages and food options to suit your style, taste and budget! From traditional wedding breakfasts to afternoon tea, and from hog roasts to quirky fish & chip vans! Extra options are available such as tipis, lawn games and more! Our wedding brochure provides you with plenty of options and ideas for your big day.

Most wonderful Day Ever !
We had the most wonderful wedding day at Whinstone View. Dawn and the team couldn't do enough and the whole day ran so smoothly. All of our family and friends loved the day and complimented the venue, food and drinks. The tipi was also excellent and the props and decorations the venue provided helped it to look and feel amazing on the day. I would 100% recommend Whinstone View. It was everything we could have wanted and more! Thank you so much- Hannah & Abel

The most magical day
From beginning to end the team and whinstone view made everything easy and stress free ! Nothing was to much trouble , from special dietary requirements to getting the room wedding ready. On the day everything ran completely smoothly and we didn’t have to lift a finger or even have a single thought. The team handled last minute menu changes, late external suppliers and timings without hesitation. Our ideas and vision were executed to perfection. I can’t thank the venue and the team enough !

The best day ever
When we had our very first look around Whinstone View we knew it was special. The surroundings and the venue are truly stunning. We initially met Dawn one of the wedding coordinators and she was so helpful throughout the process, really helped us feel organised. We had our final meeting 1 month before and finalised everything with Dawn. The day before the wedding we could set up the room with our decorations prior to checking in the lodges, we met Lucy and Tobi the other wedding coordinators who are just a vibe. They really helped us feel at ease when we were extremely nervous. They ran through everything again with us and made sure everything was still as planned- they were accommodating to a couple of last minute inevitable changes. The night before we stayed in the lodges, our family stayed in all the lodges and I must say they were all beautiful. So spacious, the beds comfy, shower felt luxurious and the hot tubs really helped us feel relaxed. On the morning of the wedding we had breakfast delivered by the restaurant which was brilliant for us to have whilst getting ready in the lodges, the staff really made it easy for us. The coordinators came to see us on the morning and made sure we were ok, again helped us feel at ease and really took the pressure of us. They were about to direct all the different vendors and everything about the venue looked amazing. Food and drink is one thing we worried about- we needn’t worry! It was beautiful, everything was beautiful. From the canapés to the brownie and ice cream- everyone complimented how beautiful it was. The night and day guests again complimented the evening food saying how beautiful it was and the chips are amazing. Tobi and Lucy were about all night- they were constantly making sure we were ok, the guests complimented how friendly and chatty they were and they really helped get the party started. I know it’s cliché but it really was the BEST day ever. It was so perfect. A special thank you to Dawn, Tobi, Lucy, the bar staff, the chefs and everyone else at Whinstone for making our day.

We Just Want To Do The Day All Over Again !
Hello Dawn, Mandy, Lucy, Toby and the rest of the fabulous Whinstone View wedding team, Sorry it’s taken a while to send this email, but we wanted to thank you all so much for coordinating our wedding, keeping things organised and creating the most magical day for us both. The food was amazing, the service was amazing and the barn was just incredible. We had a lot of comments about the chocolate brownie, and I have to agree (I had three of them! Haha) – unreal! And the vegetable crisps were delicious! We just want to do the day all over again. My only criticism would be I wish I didn’t have to leave the lodge. Could have stayed there forever. Back to real life now….. Best wishes to you all, Ashleigh & Jess x

Best Wedding We Could Have Wished For!
Hi Dawn, Just a little note to say thank you so much to you and the team for hosting the best wedding we could have wished for – from start to finish it was coordinated perfectly, beautifully, and with so much warmth. We wouldn’t have changed a thing and would recommend Whinstone view as a wedding venue to anyone. Hope to see you around in the bistro very soon and thanks so much again. Best wishes, Mr and Mrs Jennings x

Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?

My favourite wedding was large in numbers with a bridal party of around 20 guests walking down the aisle. It was fun, lively and such a good atmosphere. Live music during the ceremony, day and night made for a perfect day in the sunshine and a perfect party come the evening. It was only actually booked 3 months before the wedding date, so just goes to show what can be done, even in a short space of time
