Reviews
"We cannot express how grateful we are for all you have done to make our wedding day such a special day. We really couldn't have dreamt up a better day and so much of that was down to you hard work, dedication, thoughtfulness and kindness of the whole team. Thank you for setting us off on married life on such a high!!"
Emily & Craig
"We knew from the moment we pulled into your driveway that we had found our venue! You were all so reassuring and you made us feel so at home, from the moment we booked we never looked back. The day ran like clockwork, no detail left unnoticed and everything was perfect. The experience of having our wedding at Birdsall has been incredible and I wouldn't change it for the world. We are so grateful to you and your family for opening up your home to us."
Pippa & David
“We had the most wonderful wedding at Birdsall House and it was everything we had hoped for.We felt welcomed like family during the planning and set up of the wedding and well hosted guests on our wedding day. All of the Birdsall team were so friendly, welcoming and went the extra mile from the initial set up through to breakfast the next morning. Above all it was the whole day felt very personal and bespoke to us as a couple.We couldn’t recommend Birdsall House more highly as a destination for future couples looking for a truly magical venue.”
Alex & Danny
"What an amazing day! We were made to feel at home from the first time we visited. The house and the setting speak for themselves but it is the people that make this place truly magical. Every single person has had an impact on our perfect day. Thank you all!"
Ellie & John
“Having the freedom and flexibility to plan the wedding we wanted, rather than being restricted by a set package, was most appealing to my husband and I. We wanted a day that was utterly unique and Birdsall House gave us that and so much more. Indeed, we are sure that Lady Cara and her team will make certain that no two weddings are ever the same.”
Helen & Jason
Frequently Asked Questions
What ceremony options do you offer?
We have a few options for weddings, whether you are looking for a Church of England wedding in the Church within our grounds, a civil ceremony in our 12th Century Ruins or a blessing in one of our magnificent state rooms. We cater for all faiths and look forward to talking through your thoughts and ideas with you.
Do you have accommodation on site?
We have 6 newly renovated en-suite guest rooms for the bridal party to use in the house. We also work with nearby Langton Hall (www.langtonhall.org) which can be taken exclusively for your wedding and provide a further 67 beds for your guests with a shuttle to and from Birdsall.
Can we provide our own catering?
All food, with the exception of the wedding cake and evening food, is to be provided by one of our six preferred catering companies. We have chosen these caterers and chefs as we know they are superb at providing the best that Yorkshire food has to offer. If alternative caterers are required for ethnic or religious reasons this can be considered.
