Can I be married in a wedding venue near the North York Moors?

This region is an area of true beauty, as well as a popular destination for visitors. For couples looking to plan a wedding, it is best to look for venues in the market towns and villages located nearby. The village of Great Ayton is located north of the moors and offers views of the River Leven and many historical venues. Scarborough is a popular destination on the coast, offering beach views and a 12th-century castle. Elvington and Skelton-in-Cleveland are also a prime choice for couples, with charming historic venues giving easy access to North Yorkshire’s local beauty as well as being easily reached from larger metropolitan areas.

What should I know when planning a barn wedding?

Barn venues are a popular choice for those who favour a vintage flavour, and this UK region has many charming and romantic options. You will have your pick of fantastic venues here, look to Skipton or Tadcaster for arched ceilings and beautiful rough-hewn timbers dating back as far as the 16th century, or check out venues in Scarborough or York for later period barns featuring exposed bricks and limestone flagged floors.

Can I plan an outdoor wedding in North Yorkshire?

Although UK law forbids an official wedding ceremony from taking place outdoors, many couples embrace the aesthetic of a celebration in the open air. With onsite licensed areas for the ceremonies, outdoor venues can allow wedding parties to enjoy open fields, forests or meadows with easy access to nearby modern conveniences. Much of North Yorkshire is within easy driving distance of regional urban hubs such as York, Richmond and Scarborough, so you can easily avoid asking guests to drive into the hinterland. For an unexpected twist in the outdoor venue area, consider coastal venues in areas such as Whitby or Redcar. The North Yorkshire coast offers plentiful beaches and venues perched atop the cliffs overlooking the sea.
