Wentworth Castle

There are lots of reasons to have your wedding at the superb venue, Wentworth Castle, not least of all because of the history that lays behind it, that makes it one of the most fascinating buildings for miles.
The bitter family feud between Thomas Wentworth & his cousin over inheritance, resulted in the building of a vast estate & gardens, with Thomas determined to show his wealth. In 1727 Thomas even began to build the mock castle on the highest point of the estate that could be viewed by his cousin some 7 miles away. In 1731, when the building was complete, he renamed the house and estate as Wentworth Castle.
Whatever the reasons, what remains today is a superb venue, steeped in history, with many opportunities to have the wedding & photographs of your dreams.  It is a favoured venue of some of the top photographers in our region & the images below are courtesy of one of my favourites, Tierney Photography.

The Long Barn

So, as you can see there so many possibilities for your Wedding Day... The Long Barn can be used for Civil Ceremonies too, as well as your Wedding Breakfast.  I'll be there on the 13th March at the Wedding Fayre to talk through all your ideas....
