Howsham Hall

The most incredible venue. The most incredible team. I cannot express how amazing this venue is and how utterly perfect the Dine team are. From start to finish, everything is organised and executed to the utmost perfection.

Craig looked after us from the moment we booked all the way through to after our big day. He was fantastic. He directed everyone on the day itself and put our minds totally at ease. The team were so professional and lovely. They made us feel very well looked after, as well as all of our guests.

Every one of our guests commented that our wedding was the best they had ever been to, and for this, we thank all of the team at Dine.
Howsham Hall is a beautiful little hidden gem. Our guests were completely stunned by each and every aspect of it. There was not a single room which disappointed. Having full use of the venue the night before the wedding was also wonderful.

We cannot wait to return for an afternoon tea or to stay again in the future. I honestly, from the bottom of my heart, cannot thank the team at Dine enough for making our day truly perfect. The most beautiful place, the most wonderful team, and the most incredible service. Thank you.

Just a little something to say thank you for all your hard work and help, we really couldn’t have made our dream wedding a reality without you! You are amazing at what you do and it certainly did not go un-noticed by us nor our guests on the day! We feel blessed to have had you looking after us and we are delighted that you were a part of our special day.

We cannot recommend Howsham Hall highly enough. It was the perfect venue that made our dream wedding a reality. From the very first visit to the moment we booked our date, the team at Howsham Hall exceeded our expectations in every way. The team was incredibly helpful throughout the process, always going above and beyond to accommodate our needs and swiftly responding to my many emails.

The venue itself is nothing short of breathtaking. The bridal suite felt like something out of a fairytale, making the morning preparations truly magical. The 12 on-site bedrooms were ideal for accommodating our bridal party, and having the entire venue exclusively for the weekend made our celebration feel intimate and special. A special mention goes to the team at Dine, who delivered an unforgettable culinary experience—we received endless compliments on the food!

If you’re considering Howsham Hall for your wedding, don’t hesitate—you won’t regret it. We had the most incredible day and wish we could relive it all over again. Thank you so much to everyone who made our day so special.

You and your team were all fantastic!

Thank you all again for making our day so special. We enjoyed every minute of the process leading up to it and, of course, the day itself. You and your team were all fantastic, made us at ease all through the day, and because of your coordination, it turned out to be the most perfect day.

Howsham Hall is truly the most exceptional venue for the biggest day of your life. Guests will be in awe of the building from their first sight coming down the driveway. Howsham lived up to all the dreams of the day, and it couldn’t have gone any better right from the start. That is in huge part to the staff on the day who worked tirelessly to ensure all the guests were looked after to the highest standards, especially my wife and me. All the dine staff on the day were a true credit to their hospitality industry.

The immaculate grounds present a stunning backdrop and wonderful external picture locations for the whole occasion. The interiors have been carefully designed to bring out the detail of the historic building and are the perfect backdrop for incredible images of your day. The bridal suite is second to none. The room is a perfect setting for the wedding party to prepare and settle into the day. The evening space has been revamped and has a perfect balance between space and in keeping with the traditional style of the hall. Plenty of seating and dancing space alongside a well-stocked and staffed bar – what more do you need for your evening party?

Evening food service is a great option instead of a buffet as it allows guests to relax and not clutter up the space. The Food throughout the whole day was amazing, too. The Dine chefs created dishes that tasted fantastic, and the presentation was equally as matched. The venue is an absolute must-visit. The whole planning process was straightforward, and you are assisted with expert assistance (something you will continue receiving on the wedding day). A personal thank you to Craig for this, as he helped make the day as special and memorable as it was!

Oh my gosh, I don’t know where to start! I guess – thank you, thank you, thank you will do!

Things have been a little crazy since the wedding, it feels so long ago now already! But it was honestly the best day ever. You, Tim and the Dine team couldn’t have pulled off a better day for us if you tried.

There are so many parts of the day that just keep coming back to us that really keep making us smile:

You announcing us into the wedding breakfast like a full-on MC and revving the room up for us (Gav loved that!). You telling me to breathe and asking so compassionately if I’m ready right before the ceremony. You running like the speed of light to grab Ayla’s ear defenders right before the first dance, just to name a few!

The day couldn’t have flowed more seamlessly, and we have had so many comments from our guests saying as such! – Although we now know there were a few things that actually did happen – like the registrars nearly having to leave and you and Gemma kept it a big secret to not panic me. How you managed to do that I have no idea!

Thankfully, it all worked out – and we couldn’t be more appreciative. You were an absolute pro all day. And the planning in the run-up – it felt like chatting with a friend the whole time – a friend that knows all things Howsham and building our dream wedding that is!

Thank you very much for helping to make the wedding of my son and daughter in-law so special, the venue is such a wonderful place in a beautiful setting.

Thank you to all for steering us all through the day in an unobtrusive way. Everyone worked so hard on a long day and we really appreciate it. The feedback from the guests was brilliant and everyone agreed that the food was amazing.

We all had a fabulous day and will have such wonderful memories. Thank you once again.

We just wanted to say a huge “thank you” to Craig, Tim and the Dine team. The whole day was absolutely perfect, and that is down to you all and the smooth running of everything. The venue is absolutely stunning, and all the guests were blown away by it. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thanks again for going the extra mile and accommodating all our requests. It was truly fabulous.

We had an amazing wedding at Howsham Hall in October 2019. It’s an incredible venue – the biggest bridal suite in the world (surely!!!), beautiful house and the most wonderful food and service from the Dine team. Craig is great and he leads an excellent team – all of whom were extremely professional and pleasant. Nothing was too much trouble for the Dine team – they really take care to keep Howsham Hall looking absolutely stunning, and we had so many great comments about the food – portions are big and the quality is superb! Dine is a really well-run and smooth operation – and they deliver a truly special service for a special wedding day.

Thank you ever so much for looking over our wedding and making it so fab, it has been an absolute pleasure and we couldn’t have done it without all your help. You have been amazing!

Thank you! You are amazing at what you do!

On behalf of Sam and me, we would like to extend our sincere thanks for being so amazing and helpful throughout this process. You have guided us, and thanks to you, we go the day of our dreams! You are amazing at what you do! Thank you!

We had our beautiful wedding at Howsham Hall a month ago, and it was the most beautiful day we could ever dream of. The Dine Team was perfect from start to finish. We met Becky when we first visited Howsham Hall in March 2023; we had a tour of Howsham Hall and were blown away by the elegant and well-thought-out spaces, the MASSIVE bridal suite and the menu choices. What really sold the place for us was that each main part of the day had a separate part of the hall, meaning we weren’t ushered around while hall spaces were being turned over to be used again for another part of the day.

After booking, we were passed on to our coordinator, and we had the wonderful Jenny overlooking the planning of our wedding day. It was a pleasure to have her coordinating, everything was taken care of with attention to detail. We had meetings throughout the months of planning; notes were taken and followed to the tiniest detail. She checked on us throughout the wedding day to ensure everything was okay and we had everything we needed and felt so looked after!

Finally, Tim took care of us and our guests on our wedding day and the morning after. He was so nice and such a calming presence on the day. Nothing was too much trouble, and we were so well taken care of. Before our wedding day, I would always hear people saying that wedding days never go according to plan, but nobody would notice. In all honesty, everything about our wedding went according to plan, and this is thanks to the Dine team.

Last but not least, the food was AMAZING.

Married September 2024

It really was the perfect day!

I just wanted to drop a note to give you and the Dine team the biggest thank you for making our wedding day so memorable. It really was the perfect day and we will never forget it!

Married April 2024

We had the time of our lives, and we wanted to thank you for all the hard work, effort, and time you put into making our weekend what it was. It’s clear to us how much pride you take in making sure the day is one to remember, with everything running smoothly and everyone looked after. We can’t thank you, Tim, and your team enough.

We have received many lovely compliments from our guests on the venue, food and team at Howsham. It’s truly a magical place that will remain in our hearts forever. Finally, thank you for your lovely cards and present. The card from the team was particularly lovely, and I’d be grateful if you could pass on our thanks to them. They were all so welcoming and friendly and couldn’t do enough for us and our guests.

Booking Howsham Hall is the best choice!

So good news. We’d love to move forward with Howsham Hall for our wedding day! I just wanted to say a big thank you to you. I know we didn’t get off to the best start with my lateness, but honestly, we really appreciated the tour and how it felt! You got a real understanding of what we were looking for and then provided a tailored day/weekend for us after listening to our needs. When we visited a lot of the other venues, I compared them not only to Howsham Hall but also how the sales person conducted the tour, and none were as good as yours! I had someone call me James, others it felt like it was an inconvenience having us there so we massively appreciate your approach as we felt our wedding would be in safe hands which was mainly down to how you treated us during and after the viewing. It was close at the end between Howsham Hall and another venue, but I think you’re responsiveness aND solutions to our needs swayed us your way. Lauren and I both work in sales and lead teams and I personally love hearing feedback on my team (when they’ve done well). Thank you again and I look forward to having our wedding at Howsham Hall!

Married February 2024

We just wanted to say thank you to you and the team for a wonderful day yesterday! (Best Day of our lives). It all went incredibly well and everything from the food to the waiting staff were amazing! Everything went to plan and we couldn’t have asked for more.

I hope everyone wasn’t too difficult to keep under control!!! Thank you again for all your hard work.

The day was even better than expected, and we’ll remember it forever!

Once again, thank you so much for everything! Charlotte and I had an incredible day, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the help of you and all the Howsham Hall and Dine staff. The day was even better than expected, and we’ll remember it forever!

The Most Fabulous Day!

We just wanted to thank you sincerely for yours and all of your staff’s hard work at the weekend. We truly had the most fabulous day, we couldn’t have wished for it to have gone better.

Everybody loved the venue of course and the food was superb, but it was your exceptional level of service and attention to detail that really caught the eye. From the teams service on Friday evening to dinner on Saturday… they were excellent. Nothing seemed too much trouble. Personally, we really appreciated your little touches from the photocard and cheeseboard to my sisters extra portion of chips!

Thank you again!

We got married at Howsham last summer. The venue is beautiful and easy to dress up a bit if needed. Craig and the dine team were wonderful from start to finish and we were very impressed with how they event managed the day. We would highly recommend this venue!

Impeccable Service!

First of all we just want to say a massive THANK YOU for helping our wedding day run so smoothly. It was amazing to not have to worry about a thing because we knew you had everything covered so well! All of the staff were amazing and so attentive. Our guests have all commented on not just the beautiful venue but the impeccable service delivered by Dine.

Thank you again.
