The best wedding venues in Leeds and West Yorkshire

 

 

Leeds is such a brilliant city for a wedding. It is bursting with culture and history as well as being a vibrant and modern city. I LOVE photographing weddings in Leeds. There are so many wedding venues both in the city centre and within a short drive that you really are spoilt for choice. Here I’ve done some of the leg work for you and put all my favourite venues in one place.

Whether you’re looking for an urban or rural location, there are plenty of options listed here. Leeds city centre has brilliant transport links and is easy to get around on foot. It is a vibrant and fun place for your wedding and the Civic Hall is a gorgeous place for the actual ceremony. There are plenty of rural and semi-rural options in both the Leeds district and in nearby Huddersfield, Bradford, Wetherby and Skipton.

The Attic

Formerly known as Sheaf Street, this fab venue was taken over by 3 local businesses in 2024. The space is brilliant for an industrial-vibe wedding. There is plenty of space for lots of guests and a brilliant beer garden at the back. It’s around a 20 minute walk from Leeds Civic Hall.

New Craven Hall

Jane and Ben have created such a wonderful venue. Following planning their own wedding, they decided they hadn’t had enough of the planning and opened their own venue. This is a modern warehouse building which they have turned into an urban-vibed wedding venue.

The Iberica

If you love 1930’s art deco and amazing food, The Iberica is the place for you! With it’s tall ceilings, low lighting and groegous colour scheme, it really is a hidden gem! Plus the tapas food is unbelievable.

Headrow House is a brilliant club and music venue right in the heart of the city. It can also be hired for private events. It is literally just down the road from the Civic Hall and has the most amazing views from the roof terrace.

Barn wedding venues in Leeds and West Yorkshire

Lineham Farm

Possibly my favourite venue because it is such a little gem of a place. During the week it is used for hosting school residentials. If you choose to have your wedding here you are supporting their brilliant charity. The venue itself offers a large barn, lots of accommodation, a brilliant courtyard, woodland and gorgeous views.

Oakwell Hall Barn

Oakwell Hall is an Elizabethan manor house in Birstall. It is set in a beautiful country park and has a barn used for weddings and wedding receptions. There is a large field in front of this and a courtyard behind, making it a beautiful setting for a wedding. You can get married in the house or the barn but I think outdoor weddings in the walled garden here are lovely.

Coddy's Farm

A gorgeous little family-run venue with on-site accommodation and stunning views across the Holme Valley. This is a real blank canvas of a venue which is perfect if you are looking for somewhere you can make your own. The accommodation onsite is beautiful too.

Fields, Woodland & Marquees

The Woodman Inn

I’m lucky enough to shoot at The Woodman Inn a lot, and it is one of my favourites. They have a large marquee-type space called The Garden Room which is perfect for a country wedding. You can get married outside, in the marquee or in The Country Room which is located in the Inn itself. The outside space here is perfect for a summer day.

Kilnsey Park Estate

This place is another world – you can’t get much more rural. It is in the most stunning spot. It is a DIY venue so you would need to hire a marquee or tipi but it is worth the extra work.

Pinnacle Events

Set next to Lund Tower in Skipton, this beautiful field is such a gorgeous location. They can also provide a marquee and toilets so you don;t have to do all of the DIY work yourself.

Hazlewood Castle

Hazlewood Castle is three venues in one – you can choose the castle, the marquee or the woodland tipis. I think the tipis make the perfect outdoor venue. There is a beautiful spot to get married under the trees and then plenty of tipi space for your guests to enjoy.

Holme Valley Marquees

A family run wedding business in the heart of the Holme Valley. This is a gem of a wedding venue and one that I really love. The family own the farm here and use the field to put their marquee in. It’s very much a blank space inside and there is space to camp outside.

Other Outdoor Venues

Mirfield Monastery

This is a really special venue. They only take on limited weddings a year as it is still a monastery. The outside space here is breathtaking – the most beautiful gardens I think I have ever had at a wedding.
