Wentworth Woodhouse

You could be forgiven for mistaking this privately owned stately home with a period drama film set thanks to its grand exteriors and well-kept grounds. But Wentworth Woodhouse, set on 250-acres of parkland, is one of the premier wedding venues in Yorkshire, and just a few convenient miles from Sheffield, Leeds and Rotherham. With a plethora of photo ready backdrops on offer, the venue offers a cinematic setting for couples on their Big Day.

What’s it like inside?
As grand and impressive as the exterior, the estate is made up of two buildings of totally different architectural styles – Baroque and Palladian.

Where can we marry?
Couples can have marquees set up on the front or rear of the venue with the added flexibility of an initial reception inside the House. It’s a great option for a big wedding, since maximum capacity exceeds 500.
