Your Yorkshire Wedding - January/February 2023 (Issue 58)

BOLTON CASTLE 01969 623 981 | www.boltoncastle.co.uk What to expect The setting of Bolton Castle creates a bold statement as your guests arrive. Visible from across the dale, the castle sits proudly looking across Wensleydale. As your guests arrive at our village, Castle Bolton, their first view is the stunning fortified castle complete with portcullis and the views beyond. The gardens wrap around three sides of the castle with the remaining castle walls set into manicured lawns. The gardens are renowned for their ‘rooms’ – including a physic garden with herbs and flowers used extensively in the medieval period, to the beautiful arches and rose gardens. The maze provides a lovely opportunity for photography and is edged with gravel paths and manicured lawns. Celebrate in style Priding itself on flexibility, Bolton Castle will work closely with couples to achieve that fairytale wedding of their dreams. You can hire the entire castle and gardens or choose to enjoy a ceremony in one room with two hours for photographs in the garden. The Castle can host both small intimate weddings as well as larger weddings. Wedding ceremonies and receptions can be held in The Solar Room and The Great Chamber, where Mary Queen of Scots was held in some luxury. It also welcomes weddings on the lawn with the castle as their backdrop, or a marquee works well for the ceremony and reception. The Great Chamber within the castle walls is perfect for a ceremony with a capacity for 120 guests for a wedding breakfast and 220 for an evening reception. A marquee on the lawn with magnificent views of the castle and Wensleydale caters for 250 guests for a reception. We love... Bolton Castle’s on-site falconry allows the venue to offer couples a barn owl to deliver the rings at the outset of the ceremony. Such a lovely addition to the day. THE GRAND, YORK 01904 380 038 | www.thegrandyork.co.uk What to expect The Grade II listed building offers contemporary luxury alongside original Edwardian features such as, oak panelling, palatial marble floors and elegant sweeping stone staircases. Steeped in history, The Grand, York boasts an abundance of photo opportunities when it comes to choosing the perfect backdrop for your magical day. Standing proudly just inside York’s city walls, The Grand boasts an idyllic location just a short walk from many of the city’s historic gems, meaning you can make the most of them in pictures of your special day. Celebrate in style The Grand Boardroom lives up to its name; the grandeur of the room is decorated with chandeliers and a magnificent original fireplace. A vast, majestic room with floor to ceiling wood panelling, huge windows, and an original parquet floor, the room boasts grand views of York Minster and the city walls. The room welcomes 100 guests for both the ceremony and reception. Secondly, The Chairman’s Suite, the original office of the Chair of the North Eastern Railway, hosts 30 loved ones. Designed to impress, the room maintains its magnificent history and elegance and has views of the city walls. We love... As the former headquarters of the North Eastern Railway company, the building is nothing short of grand. With attentive service and a commitment to provide guests with memories to treasure, you will be greeted by doormen either side of the entrance upon your arrival. https://kamilanowakphotography.com www.kmattssonphotography.com www.kmattssonphotography.com https://kamilanowakphotography.com 19 HISTORIC VENUES
