Birdsall House

Birdsall House, an exquisite wedding venue in North Yorkshire, offers a blend of historic elegance and refined modern luxury. Couples can choose from a variety of settings within the estate for their ceremonies, from the romantic Little Temple for intimate ceremonies to the grand Ballroom for larger celebrations.

Additionally, 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.

Birdsall House offers a range of settings for wedding ceremonies, whether religious, civil or cultural. Couples may exchange vows within the house’s elegant reception rooms or among the tranquil 12th-century ruins in the gardens.

For those wishing for a traditional church ceremony, St. Mary’s Church, reached by a short walk along an avenue of historic lime trees, accommodates up to 200 guests.

Receptions at Birdsall House can be held either in the formal gardens or within the house’s reception rooms.

Intimate receptions from 20 guests can be hosted in the elegant dining room, and for larger receptions, couples can choose from their many diverse spaces.

For outdoor receptions, guests can enjoy drinks on the terrace overlooking the lakes. Indoors, four elegant staterooms accommodate receptions of varying sizes, or garden marquees provide additional space for larger celebrations.

Birdsall House offers six beautifully renovated bedrooms, including a bridal suite with dressing room, en-suite bathroom and panoramic views.

For additional guests, nearby Langton Hall provides further accommodation, with options for exclusive hire and transport between the venues, hosting up to 60 people.

Glamping within Birdsall’s gardens can also be arranged for a more distinctive overnight stay.
