Our Beautiful Autumn Wedding
The perfect venue for our autumn wedding, highly recommend and can't thank the events team (special mention to Courtney and Becki) and staff enough for helping to make a brides 'vision' a reality.
From the first viewing meeting we fell in love with the blank canvas the Esholt Suite offers, it really can be styled to any couples taste. For us it was whimsical autumn chic - think eucalyptus fairy lights, candles and white/sage pumpkins (everywhere). The beautiful draped fabric and canopy fairy lights offer the perfect backdrop to say 'I do' and create the illusion of dancing under the stars come disco time!
Nothing was too much trouble for the team, I had a lot of requests and ideas and they were all met with positivity and enthusiasm to deliver and that they did! We were always made to feel so welcome and at home when we visited for planning meetings and by the time the big day arrived it felt like we were truly celebrating with friends - I was so nervous to walk down the aisle but the moment I saw Courtney and Becki I felt instantly at ease.
We opted for a 3 course sit down meal and our guests still rave about the food and great portion sizes!! everything was seamless from the turnaround between ceremony and dinner during which time we took the opportunity to capture memories with our photographer against the beautiful autumn leaves as a backdrop. The room was dressed exactly as we had asked and envisaged and felt so cosy for our wedding breakfast. We opted for an acoustic singer (Matt Baxter) which worked perfectly and set the ambience. After dinner we used the beautiful fairy lit walkway to the esholt suite as a catwalk for the highly anticipated sparkler exit, the team were great at getting everyone into position and ensuring we captured the perfect shots! The room was then again turned around promptly and to such a high standard before we welcomed our evening guests and let our hair down on the dancefloor.
The fact that the bar is contained within the event space is perfect as it means your guests don't wander off and fill the dancefloor from start to finish! the outdoor courtyard is so pretty and again can be styled easily if desired.
We truly had the most magical day and every detail was perfect, it exceeded our expectations and we cant recommend this venue enough. its extremely good value for money and you will be blown away by the service.
We got lots of wonderful pics in the grounds of the Halfway house but Baildon Moor is a 4min drive away and the most beautiful backdrop too.
thankyou to the Halfway House team xoxo
