A perfect winter wedding!
As soon as we visited Danby Castle we knew it was the ideal venue for us, the incredible views over the countryside and the beautiful ruins were just what we wanted for our romantic winter wedding. Carolyn and the team were so helpful and flexible during the planning stages allowing us to use the courtroom for our drinks reception and recommending great local suppliers. On the day everything ran very smoothly and the staff were so attentive and friendly, the food was also a real highlight! We couldn’t have wished for a more perfect venue for our wedding day and just wish we could do it all over again! Huge thanks to everyone at Danby Castle! Xxx

A HUGE thank you!
Nick and I wanted to email and say a massive thank you for putting on such a fabulous wedding for us! We loved every minute of it and a lot of the smoothness of the day definitely comes down to you, Phil and your amazing team! We felt so welcomed from the first time we visited you and we always felt like you listened and then gave the best advice from all of your experience. Also we know we asked a lot especially when it came to the different foods but if you could pass on a huge thank you to the chef because everyone kept talking about how incredible all the food was so we're so grateful you were happy to put in all that extra effort to make our day that bit more special. We're now away in Nepal but will send over some official photos when they come in! Thanks for the most amazing venue, day, food and great atmosphere! Krysy and Nick x
