The Normans by far exceeded our expectations. From the moment we viewed the venue we knew it was the one. That fairy light back drop is breathtaking. The quality of each room is just amazing. Oliver and Sharon were super helpful from start to finish, they were so accommodating making sure we had the best day ever. So many of our Guests complimented the venue, advising it was one of the best they’d been to. They made sure our day ran smoothly and can’t thank them enough.
Hog and Apple (the caterers) also exceeded our expectations. The food was just incredible and our Guests loved it!
Thanks again to everyone at the Normans! -

Where do I even start when explaining how amazing The Normans is. From our very first visit a couple of years ago, we knew this was the venue for us - it was cosy, romantic and intimate. On the actual wedding weekend, Oliver, Sharon and Dave were so helpful and kind, making sure everything was exactly how we wanted it and we didn’t feel at all rushed when setting up on the Friday. On the day of the wedding, Oliver was amazing from start to finish. He made the day run so smooth and reassured and guided us throughout the day. The venue itself is so beautiful and we had the most perfect Christmas/winter wedding. Our guests were asking us all night where we found the venue and saying how amazing it is. I know it’s cliche but it was genuinely the best day of our lives and a lot of that is down to The Normans and Hog&Apple (the caterers). I only wish we could do it all again. -

Best venue, best day!
We got married at The Normans last weekend and to say it was the best day of our lives would be an understatement!
Oliver, Sharon and the team could not have been more helpful in the build up and ran the day seamlessly. Special shout out to Andrew & Amanda, who drove my Dad and I to the venue in one of Andrew’s vintage cars - a journey we will never forget.
As one of the last couples to get married in our friendship group, we’ve been told by countless people that it’s one of the best wedding they have ever been to! I used lots of suppliers recommend on The Normans list and I could not fault them.
Thanks so much for making our wedding day dreams come true x -

Lauren Sent on 10/11/2024What a venue!!
From the moment we got engaged, there was only one venue we looked at and went to view for our special day, and that was The Normans. From the initial contact with Sharon, to the food tasting, to then finally having our wedding day, as a venue, The Normans just blew everything out the park. It was just how we imagined it would be and every space was made to feel personal to us. A huge thank you to Sharon and Dave who on the day before, the day of and day the after the wedding went above and beyond to ensure we were happy throughout. We couldn’t recommend them enough to anyone else looking for a venue in Yorkshire to have their wedding. They have helped us create memories for life, and we are already jealous of those who have the venue booked for their special day. Thanks again to Sharon, Dave and Oliver. -

If you are thinking about booking The Normans for your wedding, do it!!!
Now putting my bridal hat back on and thinking about what I would want to read in a review here we go:
The Normans was the first venue we viewed when looking for our wedding and nothing else compared! We knew from the first visit it was the one for us.
From the start we had excellent email communication organising a viewing and we were shown round by the amazing Oliver who answered all of our questions and made us feel so secure in booking his venue, he was very warm, welcoming, he made us feel looked after and like no question was too silly and that continued throughout our experience!
The joy of The Normans is everybody cares so much. Oliver, Sharon, and Dave are a dream team! Emails always answered quickly, extra visits easily organised, phone numbers given to us the day before incase of emergency, texts after the big day to make sure we had an amazing time! The level of care they provide for you is unbelievable everything is checked, double checked, and the day flowed so easily with Sharon coordinating!
We loved the venue as it was stunning as is and it's comfy country vibes whilst remaining modern was just the style we wanted. We could have left it completely empty and it would have looked amazing, but we decided to decorate and do the flowers all ourselves this was supported by The Normans whole heartedly providing us with water, plenty of space to set up, Dave was amazing helping us put things on walls and helping us tidy up throughout the day.
A excellent part of The Normans is no hidden costs! Having seen other venues it's was only when you went into the fine print or asked certain questions in certain ways you saw what was actually included. At The Normans there is no sneaky oh you need to pay extra for chairs, lights, pay per candle lit ect. What you see is what you get and they are very open about any additional costs for extras. Their website is incredible for details, invoices easy to read, It was this openness and honestly that made us love them even more as it made planning and budgeting so much easier.
It is a very versatile venue with plenty of space, and if your worried about wet weather they always have a plan and will check the met office reports coming in for you! We had rain on our wedding day and it didn't affect the atmosphere or the day at all! There is plenty of space for guests around all the buildings and it's comfy, cosy, and accessible for all! The out buildings are great for photos as well and the fields and lanes around the venue lend themselves to lovely romantic shots, so it's great for lots of versatile shots!
I have probably written far too much but I cannot put into words how amazing a place this is, and the people who run it are what really makes it shine. I cannot thank The Normans team enough for making our day perfect and for making the whole day run so smoothly. It was the best most joyful and amazing day of our lives and they helped make it happen! -

An amazing day from start to finish at such a magical venue. We have had so many compliments from guests on the venue and the food from H&A and have commented on how it has been one of the best weddings they’ve been to.
Sharon who ran the day was simply amazing and neither myself or my husband had to worry about a thing. She is so lovely and approachable, she felt like part of the family!
All the staff at The Normans were incredible. Simply couldn’t fault any of it. -
