Incredible wedding

We couldn’t recommend Wentbridge as a wedding venue enough! From the moment we visited we just knew it was the place we wanted to get married. We booked and secured our date and from this until the wedding Chloe at Wentbridge couldn’t be anymore helpful, I was sure she must’ve been fed up at how many questions I sent her in the end! Karen and Lucy on the day made our wedding go so smoothly we didn’t have to worry about anything, we’ll always be eternally grateful for such a good team at Wentbridge for making our special day so amazing, we can’t wait to go back and neither can our guests.

Yorkshire hospitality @ it’s best

From the first time we met Ellie and the team we were blown away by their hospitality and friendliness. Not only are they all very professional but nothing was too much trouble, from the recommended wedding supplies (Martin Hillary, Rosa Rugosa, Hey up Cup Cake) to the orchestration of our Wedding Day. A name check for Stuart who looked after us on the night before at our family meal and on the day, but especially to Karen who was our MC… she was so lovely, friendly, funny and so many of our guests commented on our her own brand of Yorkshire hospitality… and who soon clocked out fun loving approach to life …remember “Enjoy yourself it’s later than you think”. Thanks everyone

Wentbridge House Wedding

This venue is beautiful, we had a perfect day. The day was very hot, the grounds are pretty and well maintained for photographs. The food was delicious and all our guests enjoyed the menu we chose. Ellie and Karen were amazing throughout, Ellie supported with the planning up to the wedding and Karen led the day from the start to after the first dance. Karen did all the master of ceremonies for us on the day.

Not all rooms in the old original building have air conditioning so some of our guests were extremely hot in certain rooms. The bridal suites in the old part do not have air conditioning either so we had 3 fans in the room.
Overall we would recommend this beautiful venue for a wedding ❤️

30th March 2024 wedding

We got married at Wentbridge House on 30th March 2024 - the venue and team completely exceeded our expectations and our wedding weekend couldn’t have gone better. From reserving the date with Ellie the year prior, she has been so helpful, attentive and reassuring in helping us organise the day (& wider wedding weekend) and all the finer details. From hosting our guests the evening before and on the wedding day itself, Karen and Stuart were brilliant, everything went so smoothly and we are so grateful. The weather was great so the gardens made a beautiful backdrop to our drinks reception and photographs. The brilliant food, choice of function rooms inside the venue and the lovely on site bedrooms - there was something for every part of the wedding weekend - we were just so pleased with everything - fully recommend this beautiful venue and extremely professional team.

A day to remember

Wow what a day to remember. The venue is just a 10 out of 10 from the initial viewings and decisions to the day itself. A massive shout out to our MC for the day Karen she was just amazing and a credit to the hotel, nothing was too much to ask and was there to guide you effortlessly through your day and make sure everything was perfect. Just wish we could do it all over again.

The perfect wedding

Wentbridge was the most wonderful venue for our wedding. They couldn’t have been more supportive during the pandemic and when our day came (finally) it was everything we wanted and more. We fully recommend Wentbridge!

Stress free wedding day

Nicole was so helpful and responsive to our emails during the wedding planning period. Stuart who was our master of ceremonies coordinated the day beautifully. In fact, all of the staff were lovely and helpful. The day itself was beautiful and we made good use of the lovely grounds on Wentbridge House to take some wedding portraits.

Attention to detail was impeccable

We recently visited Wentbridge House for the occasion of our daughter’s wedding! The day was perfect from beginning to end! The hotel staff were all polite and attentive and nothing was too much trouble! In fact the service was excellent throughout the day! Special thanks to Anthony who ensured the smooth running of events throughout the day and his attention to detail was impeccable! He truly is a real asset to the organisation! The hotel rooms were immaculate! Clean well furnished and very comfortable with everything you could possibly need. The food at the wedding breakfast,evening buffet and breakfast the next morning was all of the highest standard with service second to none! All in all a truly memorable day! We cannot thank the hotel enough and look forward to visiting…

Fabulous wedding at Wentbridge House Hotel

The staff were amazing, the food at the wedding breakfast was probably the best I have had and I have eaten in Michelin * restaurants. Everyone was so friendly and helpful and ensured that my day and breakfast went smoothly and couldn't do enough to help. I would definitely recommend this place.
I do take grandma for afternoon tea and that is also fabulous especially with the new male version.

Perfect from start to finish

We had our wedding at Wentbridge House on Friday 20.09.19 and it it was absolutely perfect from start to finish.
We would firstly like to thank Sophie, the wedding co-ordinator, who dealt with all our queries and helping plan. I probably messaged her a little too much on the run up to the wedding but nothing was ever too much trouble.
Our Master of ceremonies Antony, absolutely made our wedding. The attention to detail was amazing and just his little extra touches. A few examples are; I didn't like the wine we had bought for the drinks package so he brought me an alternative everytime the drinks were poured. Our daughter didn’t like her melon (she’s a little funny with sauces, which was on the fruit) so he had her some garlic bread made, which she loved.
We stayed over the night before and he came and introduced himself and helped us set up and he went out of his way to sort everything. We cannot thank him enough, he’s an absolute credit.
Also the bar staff, the night before and the serving staff on the wedding were all brilliant, all very polite and attentive.
Then there’s the hotel itself!! The grounds are beautiful, the food is absolutely out of this world. Everyone commented on the food, it was a big hit.
We’ve stayed at Wentbridge a few times now and I love it everytime we come, my daughter keeps asking to come back!
Thank you so much everyone! If I could give 10 stars I would!

I stayed the night before my wedding and had a free upgrade as it was my wedding. Beautiful room, beautiful service. Nothing too much trouble and everything was perfect from start to finish. I cannot recommend highly enough. Mine was only a small wedding but nevertheless I was made to feel very special. I would absolutely recommend.
