East Riddlesden Hall

National trust wedding venue, East Riddlesden Hall has appeared in my portfolio a few times now, and I love working there.

Some of my couples have had their full wedding day at the venue. Others have had a church ceremony first and simply held their reception at the hall. Either way, it’s a brilliant wedding venue with lots to offer.

East Riddlesden Hall is such an already-beautiful blank canvas, that you can get away with very little decor if you wish. It can be dressed and decorated to suit any wedding and any style. I’ve seen the venue adorned with bunting, fairy lights, letter lights and more, and I’ve seen it with minimal additions, letting its rustic beauty shine through.
The huge glass doors are a photographers dream! They allow natural light to spill into the venue and are perfect for a free-flow between inside and out on those warmer days.The venue offers the rustic look of the ceremony barn, with the modern interior twist and the historic main building sitting proudly at the top of the lake is the ideal wedding photography backdrop.
The botanical gardens are the perfect romanic hideaway, whilst a short walk down to the field offers some peace and quiet for those first moments as a newlywed couple.

I’ve only ever experienced East Riddlesden on warm and sunny days – long may that continue!
