We got married at Howard Court last month and were so impressed by everything about it - from our first show around, everything felt so personal and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. We never felt like this venue was a ‘wedding conveyor belt’ like others we had visited and it always felt like they truly wanted us to have the best wedding day possible Being able to get to know our coordinator Tara helped everything to feel so calm on the day as we had our full trust in her that she would ensure everything ran smoothly. We couldn’t recommend the Howard Court coordinators more! The venue is in the most beautiful setting which allowed us to get the countryside wedding we wanted - we were lucky with the November weather and able to have our first dance outside under the courtyard lights and also do sparkle

Howard Court, what can we say! We didn’t look at any other venue, from the minute you walk in you feel part of the Howard Court Family, nothing is a problem, communication is fantastic, the venue is yours for you to do what you want, the staff all have so much knowledge and are helpful with ideas. Our wedding co-ordinator Tara, was a dream to work with she was professional, relaxed, fun, sorted the full day, liaised with all our suppliers and completely took any stress aw

From the very first viewing, we knew Howard Court was the one. The owners were so warm and welcoming, it instantly felt like one big family. On our wedding day, Jules coordinated everything so beautifully. From start to finish I didn’t have to think or worry about a single thing as I knew we were in safe hands! The venue itself is stunning, with such a relaxed and homely atmosphere, and the surrounding area is just breathtaking. With the rolling North Yorkshire countryside all around, it created the most perfect backdrop for our day. We honestly couldn’t have wished for

We were really lucky to find Howard Court. We wanted an intimate venue for 70-80 guests, and fell in love with the Yorkshire farmhouse and barn aesthetic that suited us to the ground. We needed minimal decoration to personalise the space for us and received so much support from Tara and the team in personalising our special day. The courtyard is a great sun catch and provides shelter on cooler days. We really recommend having the evening do in the barn instead of the Old dairy, the enclosed space with it's fairy lights was absolutely rocking with our band, with the pop up cocktail bar keeping everyone hydrated. Really recommend the Pizza Engine guys who we discovered through Howard Courts open day, everyone still raves about the pizza! Excited to see how this venue evolves. We were the first to have their permanent bar enclosure in the courtyard and they have since started installing a professional kitchen on site (somehow th

From the moment we drove up the stoney drive way and cast our eyes on the beautiful cottage of Howard Court, I genuinely got butterflies. I turned and said to my now Husband ‘I feel this is the one’ We met Caroline and the Old Dairy was in the process of being renovated to become the absolutely dreamy ceremony room I had the pleasure of walking down the aisle in. It took us no time to decide and 2 years in the making our beautiful wedding was held in May 2025. We had the absolutely amazing Kirsty as our wedding co-ordinator. Kirsty was so responsive, especially in the weeks running up the wedding. She reassured me, answered all my crazy questions, some questions she answered several times 😂 she has the patience of a saint. We had a panic as 4 weeks before our wedding, our evening food vendor had to cancel. I messaged Kirsty, not even expecting her to help but to make her aware. Within 24hrs she had cast her net across suppliers and was able to get us another supplier at that short notice. She is absolute magic and to top it off, the supplier was better than our first choice. What a gem! 🌟 The whole day went seamlessly because of Kirsty and her magic coordination skills, nothing was too much trouble! The beauty of Howard Court will forever be cherished by me and my husband and the memories made that day. The whole day was gorgeous. The suppliers, the new bar area, the detail, everything was truly amazing!!! Our guests were amazed and everyone said how stunning the place was. We are gutted it’s over and are desperate for a

Thank you so so much Howard Court for the most perfect day from start to finish. There’s so many highlights throughout the whole day from Lola walking down the aisle, singing waiters, ice cream bike, sparklers and fireworks rounding it off to a spectacular finale in a stunning venue 🫶🏼 ❤️ We booked the venue on first viewing and enjoyed several visits before our wedding. Each visit we were delighted to see new stunning additions which made our day even more special. Caroline and her fabulous team made our whole wedding from booking to the big day amazing and wow the canapés, feather blade beef and trio of desserts were incredible all our guests complimented the food and the cocktails too ❤️ The comment

Before we had even got engaged, I had loved the look of this venue. We got engaged and went to look round, we booked our wedding date for 5 months later! The Howard Court team helped us plan our wedding in this short time and were incredibly professional, helpful and organised. It was the best day ever. Our guests kept telling us what a gorgeous venue it is and some commented on how they didn’t know it was there - a few people referred to it as a ‘hidden gem’. From the ceremony to the evening, everything ran smoothly - a special thank you to our wedding coordinator Tara who was absolutely amazing and she made all of this happen, even on the hottest day of the year! The whole HC team are fabulous too from the caterers to the bar staff. The views around the venue are the perfect backdrop for wedding photos. The food was delicious. The accommodation is beautiful

We got married at Howard Court in September 2024 and it was the most perfect day. We always knew we wanted a countryside wedding in North Yorkshire, and after viewing only one venue, we knew Howard Court was the one for us. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect in every possible way and we just wanted to say a massive thank you to all the Howard Court team. Kirsty and Tara were amazing throughout our wedding planning process and filled us with confidence that everything would run perf

We got married back in may and our wedding weekend was just the best day from start to finish. We are both from the local village so to have somewhere like Howard court on our doorstep why choose somewhere else. From meeting Caroline and Kirsty and other staff they were so welcoming and always there to help when needed. I can’t thank you all enough at how you made our day to be so special. When it came to our big day it couldn’t have gone better. The day was seamless I felt so relaxed and just enjoyed every moment. Kirsty made our day the best it could ever of b

When we saw Howard Court, we fell in love immediately. It was the ideal venue, at an amazing price and would allow us to have the flexible relaxed day we wanted. We had a string of food trucks, we operated an honesty bar and the day was absolutely perfect.
