Your Yorkshire Wedding - March/April 2021 (Issue 47)

A LITTLE ROMANCE Venues and suppliers up and down the country are adapting their offering to fit our ‘new normal’, including Westfield Farm Weddings at Grand Get-Togethers. “We have redecorated and enhanced our facilities for micro-weddings,” says owner Molly Coombs. “We were lucky enough to host a couple of intimate weddings in 2020, and following the pandemic, they’re definitely here to stay. Smaller weddings are both personal and beautiful and we love everything about them.” The licensed venue is the ideal location for an intimate celebration, and its now offering a low-season and midweek micro-wedding package for up to 30 guests, available for weekends from November to March and midweek all year round. “The package is here to stay and we look forward to welcoming many more couples with their nearest and dearest,” Molly says.

Yorkshire Hideaways has just launched as the newest county to join the Hideaways Holiday group. The sixth regional brand in the group, it places an importance on local knowledge and will be based in Leyburn. There is a gorgeous range of accommodation available, from cosy cottages, dog-friendly options, a castle, a lighthouse and even a property on the Castle Howard estate, which is furnished with items from the stately home. “After a somewhat challenging year, we’re eager to see what 2021 will hold and we’re thrilled to start on a positive footing,” managing director James Boyce says. “We’ve sourced not only an exemplary collection of properties but also an equally brilliant team who bring a wealth of unbeatable local knowledge.
