We wanted to say a massive thank you to all team at Askham Hall for helping us to have the perfect wedding in August last year. There isn’t a single thing that we would change about the weekend. Everything ran so smoothly and we both felt completely relaxed all day. We has a brilliant time and so did all of our guests – everyone commented on how lovely the venue, food and staff were.

Thanks again for everything. We spent the whole time during our honeymoon just reminiscing about the wedding and how amazing it was! It really was the best day of our lives and you guys worked so hard – the food was amazing, the service was excellent and the hall, gardens and barn were just perfect. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Amazing wedding venue. My husband and I got married here and along with the wedding party stayed over the night before for a meal. The food on both the wedding day and the Friday night meal was incredible. The staff are also so friendly and professional, the whole team at Askham Hall surpassed our expectations in every way. Such an amazing venue, beautifully decorated, with a great mix of history and modern interior design.

A week later & it all seems like a dream – the most amazing dream ever! I knew Askham was a special place but it exceeded all expectations. Thank you to all of you:what a great team. I have thoroughly enjoyed every little step of the journey with you guys:each visit was always a real treat. Yes, the venue is fantastic but it’s the people who make a place really come to life & Team Askham are superb. All our guests were wowed by it all. There should be a new verb now – to be ‘Askham’d’! I’m sure we’ll be around again soon-wedding or not. Please pass on my thanks to all of the team. Merci beaucoup!!
