Crathorne Hall's outdoor wedding option

Credit: Angela Waites PhotographyOutdoor weddings have become increasing popular following the recent changes to marriage laws, with the lawns and gardens at North Yorkshire's Crathorne Hall an idyllic setting to say 'we do.'

Here you can wed on the Front Lawn; framed by the impressive architecture of the hall and its grounds – or choose the tree-lined Glade, with towering horse chestnut trees for a ceremony encompassed by the beauty of nature.

There's even the choice to marry in the Sunken Garden, bursting with colour in the summer months with roses, hydrangea and lavender. And that's before you've stepped inside the hall itself! Here, guests receive the red carpet treatment from the minute they arrive, taking in Crathorne's stunning original fireplace with beautiful marbling in the Edwardian room; or the foyer's arched ceilings surrounded by elaborate wood panelling.
