Every couple wants a wedding day to remember. With a quirky venue you can achieve that more easily. So here is some inspiration from around Yorkshire.
Arts venue
Left-Bank Leeds, Cardigan Road, Leeds LS6 1LJ
This Grade II* listed former church was built in 1908. Its high vaulted ceilings, imposing columns and original features give instant impact and ample space to design your wedding reception. The venue can accommodate a wedding party of 50 to 300 – so plenty of space for your nearest and dearest.
Two package options are available which cover venue hire only (from £1,350) or venue hire with drinks package and coordination (from £3,550). Therefore, it’s important to note with this venue that tables, chairs, linen, décor and AV etc are charged as extras. The venue doesn’t have a wedding license so you would also need to hold your ceremony elsewhere.
Funky gallery space
White Cloth Gallery, 24-26 Aire Street, Leeds, LS1 4HT
The gallery and its events space works to support the artistic community, encourage creativity and work alongside other local arts organisations. The aim is for the gallery to aid the city’s development as a cultural centre – and to become a go-to destination for art lovers everywhere. If art is your passion; this venue is perfect!
The gallery can accommodate up to 250 people and holds events on Sundays to Wednesdays only. Prices available on request.
Museum
Leeds City Museum, Millennium Square, Cookridge Street, Leeds LS2 8BH
The museum has sweeping vista across Millennium Square, an historic exterior, and stylish and contemporary meeting spaces throughout. This makes it one of the most striking city centre venues in Yorkshire. It offers a wealth of opportunities for your event, from simple elegance to super themed parties for up to 200 guests. Prices available on request.
Wildlife Park
Yorkshire Wildlife Park, Warning Tongue Lane, Branton, Doncaster, DN4 6TB
The fabulous setting of Yorkshire Wildlife Park provides couples with an exclusive opportunity to tie the knot and have some very special guests in your wedding photos. The park can accommodate up to 80 guests in a wonderful suite that overlooks the park. Plus, the venue has a partnership with the Crown Hotel, Bawtry for evening receptions.
Packages from £9,995.00 for 70 day and 100 evening guests.
Farm and activity centre
Herd Farm Activity and Events Centre, Eccup Reservoir, Harrogate Road, Leeds, LS17 7RJ
Herd Farm is a grade two listed converted barn available for family and friends to book for that special occasion in a rural setting. The farm can accommodate up to 50 people on site so you can experience more than just a day on the farm. Prices available on request.
