About
Situated in the heart of Clifton Village, West Yorkshire, Bert's Rooms and Events (at The Black Horse Inn Clifton), is an intimate wedding venue steeped in history. Family-owned for over 70 years, this distinctive 17th-century inn radiates a traditional British charm that blends in effortlessly with the surrounding Georgian architecture. With open fires and beautiful outdoor settings, this is a wonderful venue for a cosy country wedding.
Facilities and Capacity
Fully licensed for civil ceremonies, Bert's Rooms and Events is ideal for laidback weddings, allowing couples to host every stage in one inviting space. This rustic haven is a short 20-minute drive from Leeds, making it a convenient location for city excursions and tranquil retreats. For destination weddings, this is the ideal space to soak up the serene ambience that the British countryside offers in abundance. The aesthetic continues within the inn, with its oak beams and exposed brick and traditional open fires. Civil ceremonies can be held in The Wellington Suite or Clifton Room, which accommodates 60 guests. This secluded event space is a beautiful blank canvas for couples to craft their unique stamp. The space can fit up to 60 for a seated meal with doors that open out onto a gorgeous courtyard, ideal for post-ceremony drinks. Evening receptions we can hold a maximum of 90-100 guests. At the end of the evening, the happy couple can retire to the luxury Epernay Room while guests can choose from 12 individually designed bedrooms set over 17th-century cottages.

Perfect wedding venue
We knew as soon as we walked into Berts that this was where we wanted to get married, it has such a beautiful feel to the place.Lydia was amazing and took care of absolutely everything for us,it was all so easy.The bedrooms are beautiful a lot of our guests stayed in them. The food was delicious and of such top quality. But the icing on the cake was how Lydia and her team made our day run so smoothly, they really know how to orchestrate a perfect wedding. The whole place has a relaxed beautiful family feel to it. Fabulous wedding venue and team.

Amazing! 💜
I could never run out amazing things to say about the venue, the food, the staff and most importantly Lydia!
Our Wedding went perfectly, not a single thing wrong or out of place! The staff were so friendly and helpful.
In the planning of the wedding Lydia was phenomenal! She had an answer and a plan for every question and strange idea. Most of the time making it even better than before, she communicated everything really well and made wedding planning seem easy!
We would not have had our perfect day without her!
The venue is stunning for photos and they put alot of effort into making sure everything is placed perfectly!
The food was top tier and they adapted the menu specifically us!
It was so romantic, intimate and perfect for us!
Thank you all so much 💜

Outstanding!
The Black Horse is a beautiful , historic building, perfect for a wedding venue. We took full advantage of booking sole use of the exterior and having a couple of drinks in the sunshine surrounded by the beautiful flowers in the Courtyard was wonderful after the wedding ceremony.
Lydia (who is in charge of evens such as weddings) was so professional, meticulously planned and organised and she communicated brilliantly from our first enquiry, right through to after the wedding.
She had some fantastic ideas and recommendations and she totally took the pain and stress out of planning a wedding.
The venue, including the dining tables looked wonderfully adorned and the food was delicious. We paid extra and upgraded our menu and provided our guests with a choice for each course. The chefs are brilliant and all our guests commented on how amazing the food was. The head chef met with us beforehand to help us menu plan and we were offered a tasting. The hog roast in the evening was also an absolute triumph.
The Black Horse go way above and beyond and Lydia scheduled the timeline and
navigated the ceremony officials, family members and guests, live band and DJ on the wedding day brilliantly.
As a bride, it was so nice to relax and enjoy the magic of the day without having to stress or worry .
The whole team were fantastic and the day just flowed faultlessly. We feel our day was perfect. Thank you to the entire team at The Black Horse!

Wedding Celebration
What an amazing day we had and we can’t recommend highly enough, we decided to celebrate our wedding due to other reviews I had read and we were so pleased with our decision. The staff were attentive and nothing was too much trouble . A special thanks to Lydia who helped plan the whole thing.

Beautiful hotel and wedding venue
We have recently had our wedding at the Black Horse Inn and we had the best day. The wedding coordinator Lydia was fantastic on the day and also leading up to the wedding, everything was organised perfectly and she was always on hand to answer any questions. Lydia and the whole team were brilliant on the day and made sure everything ran smoothly.
The venue looked beautiful with lots of character and the food was amazing - all of our guests commented on how nice the food was.
We cannot recommend this venue enough, thank you for helping to make our day so special and perfect!

The best wedding venue with the best planner
We had our wedding here in November 2023. It was perfect and ran like clockwork from start to finish. It's such a fabulous,intimate venue and it stole our hearts the first time we booked an appointment for a look round with Lydia.
We then came back to look at the venue again at a wedding fair to see the room dressed for a wedding and fell in love with it again and got a good idea of how we wanted our tables etc.
Lydia and her staff were fantastic,nothing was too much trouble and any queries/questions were answered really promptly. Lydia was also great at offering advice or her thoughts of what would look good/work on the day and never seemed to tire of me emailing every week. The food was fabulous and all our guests commented on how good it was and plentiful. There wasn't one criticism,moan or fault about Bert's rooms I could give and couldn't recommend this place highly enough. Don't waste time viewing other wedding venues just book here,you won't regret it!

Wedding review
We had our wedding here in October 2023, we were a bit unsure of the size to start - we had 53 guests on the day time and about 80 for the evening which was just right - cosy with a lovely atmosphere. Lydia was very attentive and organised everything to the T. The courtyard was decorated lovely with hanging baskets and lanterns which was very pretty. We used Lydia’s in house DJ which was good.
Would highly recommend.

Brilliant Experience
Our day was absolutely perfect. Lydia was brilliant and so helpful throughout. We booked the package that meant everything was included in one price, including hotel rooms, decorations, and the DJ. Everyone commented on how good the food was and hoe pretty the venue is. We would definitely recommend to anyone!

Amazing Venue & Staff
We had our wedding here the week before Christmas. The team were amazing on the day and Lydia, the wedding organiser was an absolute treasure from the minute we met her months before. She did everything we asked of her and made the rooms look stunning on the day. Nothing was too much trouble for her. The honeymoon suite was lovely and the food for the wedding breakfast was gorgeous. We would recommend it to anyone looking for an intimate wedding venue. Thank you to everyone at the Black Horse / Bert's Rooms. You made our day so special!

Only praise for the Black Horse Inn
Only praise for the Black Horse Inn and wedding planner Lydia whom we met with 18 months before our wedding.
We knew it was the ideal venue for us; gorgeous setting with beautifully decorated boutique style bedrooms and perfect for our intimate ceremony of 30 day and 60 evening guests.
Lydia was very responsive to my emails and answered all queries quickly.
The hotel can cater for vegan and gluten free diets alongside the standard menu.
I also went to their wedding fayre to see examples of table decorations and set ups and opted for a large rectangle so everyone could see each other. We provided our own table decorations, mocked up a setting at home, took photos and sent them to the Black Horse Inn so they could see how the tables were to be set on the day and they were absolutely perfect.
Everything went to plan and we had the best day ever

Wedding Day
Every element of our day was perfect, from start to finish. Lydia was always on hand and was so flexible to our needs which ended up being completely different to what we had initially planned, nothing was too much and on the day Lydia was accommodating and helped us get the wedding photos we wanted. The venue itself is beautiful and the rooms are outstanding….not to mention the food! Everything was truly perfect. The venue is small and intimate and just what we wanted. We cannot recommend this venue and Lydia any more highly, we wouldn’t change a thing, and can’t think of a single negative!
