WHARFEDALE GRANGE 0113 288 6320 | www.wharfedalegrange.co.uk Located in the heart of Yorkshire between Leeds and Harrogate, Wharfedale Grange is small privately-owned estate set within a breathtaking panorama that spans the North Park of Harewood Estate. Once a strawberry farm it has now been transformed by its interiordesigner owner into a farmhouse-luxe paradise. You’ll find yourselves enchanted by the modern-yet-timeless décor! Here, you’ll find the private bridal preparation suite behind a secret door, plus a separate ceremony room, luxurious split-level cocktail bar, the grand South Barn twinkling with vintage chandeliers and even a oneof-a-kind gossip room complete with prosecco tap and phone chargers! The North Barn, designed to be striking but with romance in mind, is where the magic truly happens! The space has a built-in sound system to play your ceremony music and you may even want a gospel choir or musicians playing from the balcony above. The venue also offers al fresco “I dos” in the shape of an arbour overlooking the Yorkshire countryside. The Cart Barn features a fully-equipped couture cocktail bar with bespoke glassware that’s unique to the venue, you won’t find any ordinary wine and water glasses here! The bar comes fully staffed with trained, uniformed mixologists who really know how to produce a cocktail or two. On the mezzanine you’ll find a cosy log burner, velvet sofas and Designer’s Guide chairs. Antique mirrors, a huge original Belle Epoque chandelier, Fornasetti plates on the bookcase and the venue’s signature quirky décor are everything you need to set the scene for your big day. The South Barn is the luxury wedding breakfast space and home to the venue’s dancefloor. It features seating for up to 250 guests throughout, although 60 to 200 is perfect for downstairs. Twinkling festoon and fairylights illuminate your way and imagine your first dance beneath the huge glittering rose gold mirror ball while the entertainers of your choice play your favourite song through the impressive built-in sound system. A stone’s throw from the Barn is The Farmhouse, a six-bedroomed Grade II listed Georgian structure offering six en-suite bedrooms. With its own private driveway you can arrive here from 3pm the day before your wedding. www.martynhand.com https://toastofleeds.co.uk CROWNE PLAZA LEEDS 0113 261 6848 | https://letsdomeetingsandevents.com/hotel/ crowne-plaza-leeds Crowne Plaza Leeds boasts stunning sites for your reception, delicious catering, an open-plan bar and restaurant, and a grand staircase entrance that’s guaranteed to delight your guests.
