Setting
Birdsall House, an exquisite wedding venue in North Yorkshire, offers a blend of historic elegance and refined modern luxury. Couples can choose from various unique settings within the estate, from the romantic Little Temple for intimate ceremonies to the grand Ballroom for larger celebrations. Recent renovations have transformed the former Victorian Kitchens into a prohibition-era event space for up to 200 guests, complete with a private bar and dance floor, adding a unique 1920s flair to the venue. With exclusive access to the house and gardens, you and your guests will enjoy complete privacy amidst breathtaking interiors and scenic views.
Ceremony
Birdsall House provides diverse options for ceremonies, whether religious, civil, or cultural. Couples can exchange vows within the house’s stately reception rooms or in the serene 12th-century Ruins in the gardens.
For a traditional church ceremony, the nearby St. Mary’s Church, a short walk through an avenue of historic lime trees, accommodates up to 200 guests and welcomes couples to discuss their wedding plans with the vicar.
Reception
Receptions at Birdsall House offer an idyllic setting in the formal gardens or inside the venue’s impressive reception rooms. Guests can sip champagne on the terrace overlooking the lakes or enjoy lawn games in the historic garden, where colourful blooms create a vibrant atmosphere in spring and summer.
