About The Priests House

The Priests House is often called a ‘fairytale’ venue, combining the authentic grade-1 listed 15th-century Chapel with the beauty and tranquillity of the Yorkshire Dales countryside, and we truly value that. Although situated in a magical location, our dedication & drive to deliver outstanding service, keen attention to detail and delicious food is completely real. We love weddings. We have hosted weddings at The Priests House for over twenty years now - first in the Oak Room and then inside the Chapel after we restored it in 2016. After all these years we still never tire of guests first reaction when they enter the Chapel for the first time, or of being a part of people's joyful memories and important days. We are proud of how professional and friendly our team are, of the packages that we provide and of our desire to keep improving and offering the best possible venue to host your special day. When you choose The Priests House as your wedding venue, we promise: Exclusivity of the grade-1 listed venue, with no other weddings or customers on the day. This includes use of The Oak Room, The Chapel and our beautiful and peaceful grounds A mesmerising space for weddings of all sizes – whether an elopement for the couple to a maximum capacity of 76 for a wedding breakfast and 85 for the evening reception No shortage of incredible backdrops for your photo's, both on-site and in any direction off-site Use of our large portfolio of decorations and our creativity to make your wedding day look spectacular – the vast majority of décor is included as part of your wedding, so you do not need to use your wedding budget buying loads of decorations (unless you want to!) An experienced and empathetic team to help guide your planning and to coordinate your wedding day – we are hands on owners, and we take yours and your guests experience personally A venue that appreciates that all our important life celebrations happen around beautiful food – so we employ a fantastic kitchen team to provide just that A team that ensures a smooth and helpful experience for your suppliers so that they can focus on what they do best, whether capturing enduring moments or bringing the party! A venue that appreciates & delivers on the little touches – the comfort of a blanket and firepit on an Autumnal evening, an umbrella at hand on a rainy day, fire torches lighting the path on a dark evening, iced water at the ready on a Summer’s day (if British weather plays nice) and a welcome smile to help guests know where to park and where the front door is ready for them. It would be fantastic to meet you, hear about your vision for your day and to show you around The Priests House. Please do get in touch if you would like to book a tour, discuss our venue or ask any questions. No matter where you choose for your wedding, we wish you the best of wedding days and good luck on this exciting journey that you embark on! From all of us at The Priests House
