What can you expect from The Oakwood at Ryther?
Sitting in the middle of the North Yorkshire countryside, the exclusive-use Oakwood at Ryther offers peace and tranquillity with undisturbed views across fields and woodland. Outside is a beautiful courtyard and landscaped garden, while inside the generations-old family farm has been beautifully adapted for weddings. Using original features and reclaimed materials, master craftsmen have injected character into the barns with a focus on old-meets-new styling; modern glass elements blend seamlessly into rustic brickwork and traditional oak beams.

Time to celebrate!
There are two indoor celebration spaces for up to 200 ceremony guests and 250 reception guests, as well as the pretty Courtyard for al fresco ceremonies. The stunning Ceremony Hall boasts statement oak arches, a showstopping fairylight wall and a champagne bar. The Old Grain Barn oozes a rustic-luxe vibe with original beams, twinkling chandeliers and a feature staircase leading to a cocktail lounge on the mezzanine. Both spaces have everything the modern couple could need for the perfect celebration.

We love...
A lovingly restored 17th-century barn now forms part of the accommodation offering. Sleeping up to 32 guests in 15 king-size en suite bedrooms, its open plan layout is perfect for friends and family to get together.

Married to your surname? 26% of women are planning on keeping theirs

Lots of people are ditching traditions when it comes to modern weddings and marriage - one of which quickly losing favour is the tradition of taking your partner's surname. In a recent survey carried out by Pandora UK, almost nine in ten (88%) women said they think that attitudes to married names are changing in 2026 ¹. When asked, over a quarter (26%) of unmarried women said they'd keep their last name if they got married, whilst less than half (45%) said they'd take their partner's name. This is indicative of the shift in opinion in recent years, as when married women were asked, only a sixth (17%) of women said they kept their maiden names when they got married, whilst the majority (78%) took their partner's surname, with just 4% choosing to double-barrel their last name with their significant other.
