Denton Hall is a classic mansion house in the stunning rolling hills of Wharfedale in the North Yorkshire countryside.
Because it also serves as the head office for NG Bailey, it’s only available for Saturday weddings, which means couples get exclusive use of the venue and you can be in from Friday afternoon and stay till Sunday morning!
There are lovely rooms for the wedding preparations during the morning before the ceremony.
The local church in Denton – St. Helen’s – is just a few minutes walk from the venue and can be used a traditional ceremony or you can use one of the on-site civil ceremony rooms.
It’s a beautiful church inside and out and you can choose to throw confetti outside the church or outside Denton Hall, depending on where the ceremony is.
Outside the hall is a lovely place to host the wedding reception, overlooking Otley Chevin and the Yorkshire Dales countryside. You sometimes even see the deer they have there, hanging out by the lake!
I like to keep the group shots and portraits relaxed, fun and quick, so they don’t eat into reception time to enjoy the canapes, fizz and company of the guests!
Couples can have their wedding breakfast with up to 100 guests, or can put a marquee on the lawn to up the numbers!
Then once the delicious food has been eaten (usually supplied by the amazing michelin starred caterers at Box Tree in Ilkley!) it’s time to cut the cake and do the first dance, before everyone hits the floor for the evening knees up!
