Your Yorkshire Wedding - November/December 2023 (Issue 63)

CARLTON TOWERS 01405861662 | www.carltontowers.co.uk The private home and estate grounds of Lord and Lady Fitzalan Howard, Carlton Towers’ origins date back more than 1,000 years. The surrounding 350 acres of private parkland provide a magnificent setting in a hidden corner of the Yorkshire countryside, while the house’s state rooms are grand and opulent. Wedding parties are able to enjoy exclusive use, not only of the state rooms, but also of the front lawns and sweeping entrance staircase, all with idyllic backdrops for those important photographs and videos. You can opt for a grand setting in one of the venue’s elegant state rooms for your ceremony. The Venetian Drawing Room is majestic in style with a statement marble fireplace, high gilded ceilings, and glittering chandeliers; while the Picture Gallery is adorned with wood panelling and historical paintings. If you prefer an outdoor setting, the pretty Walled Garden Vineyard offers a lovely backdrop for an intimate summer wedding, or if you’re planning something larger you can opt for one of the beautiful Feast Field marquees. You also have the option to say “I do” in the imposing and historical Selby Abbey, just a short drive from Carlton Towers. The venue’s team of in-house chefs pride themselves on producing delicious menus tailored to their couples’ budgetary, dietary and cultural requirements. Where possible, they source local Yorkshire produce in order to create wedding breakfasts that dreams are made of. You can extend your celebrations into an evening reception too, with savoury open platters of artisan breads, York ham, cheeses, homemade chutneys, and pickled heritage vegetables. Carlton Towers boasts 16 opulent state bedrooms that can sleep up to 31 guests. Individual and unusual in style with some lovely features. Plus, tucked away on the estate just a few minutes form the house, you’ll also find the venue’s well-appointed cottages capable of sleeping a further 24 guests. Your dedicated wedding planner will be on hand to advise on everything including those fabulous little finishing touches. You can also choose to use the venue’s in-house florist and stylist or arrange your own team. Pssst...
