  • Charlotte & Michael - May 2026

    Our wedding day at Carlton Towers was everything and more. Over the last year, we have worked with Dannii, who delivered on our requests to ensure our day was special with our family.

    We did not want the typical large wedding but instead we held an intimate gathering with our family, which was just perfect from the very beginning.

    Our coordinator for the wedding day, Joe, was just amazing. He truly went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Joe provided clear communication and calmness which would ease anyone on their special day.

    A special mention must be made in relation to our evenings entertainment of murder mystery. We requested some pillows and a white sheet to create a 'body' for the evenings events however, the team were just exceptional and had fun in their creativity. It was definitely a key highlight that everyone enjoyed.

    Thank you to everyone who was involved in making our day perfect for both ourselves and our families. We cannot wait to come back to enjoy the many events held there but also, to reminisce on what a truly wonderful place Carlton Towers is.

  • Jessica & Ryan - May 2026

    We got married on 2nd May and stayed from 1st–3rd May, and from start to finish everything was absolutely perfect. The staff couldn’t do enough for us — every single member of the team went above and beyond to make our stay and wedding so special.

    Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. The venue was beautiful, the atmosphere was amazing, and everything ran so smoothly which meant we could truly relax and enjoy every moment.

    We honestly couldn’t have chosen a better place to celebrate such an important occasion. Thank you to everyone involved for making memories we’ll cherish forever.

  • Starry & Gio - April 2026

    We are a couple living in the United States and recently had our destination wedding in the UK. We chose Carlton Towers as our reception venue, initially because of its close proximity to Selby Abbey, where we held our ceremony. Since we were unable to travel to the UK to visit the venue in person before the wedding, we relied heavily on their website’s 360 virtual tour — and thankfully, the sales team was incredibly kind, responsive, and accommodating. They even arranged a Zoom tour for us, which made us feel much more confident in our decision.

    Throughout the entire planning process, the team at Carlton Towers was exceptional. They scheduled regular meetings and provided detailed checklists, which made the experience far less stressful for us as a newly engaged couple planning a wedding from abroad. Communication was always prompt, professional, and informative, and they consistently provided all the information we needed.

    When we finally arrived at Carlton Towers, we were absolutely amazed. The property was even more spectacular in person than we had imagined. Every corner was stunning, elegant, and full of character. Our wedding day itself went so smoothly thanks to the support and coordination from the deputy manager and the entire team. Our guests could not stop complimenting the venue throughout the celebration. We only stayed for two nights, and honestly, we wish we could have stayed longer to fully enjoy such an incredible property and experience.

    We are so grateful to the entire Carlton Towers team for helping make our wedding unforgettable, and we would highly recommend this venue to anyone considering a truly beautiful and special wedding location.

  • Mr & Mrs Shelton - April 2026

    We had the most magical wedding day at Carlton Towers. We truly couldn’t have wished for a more beautiful setting and surroundings. Everything about the day was perfect for us.

    The food was absolutely amazing and received so many compliments from our guests. The service on the day was second to none, and everything ran seamlessly from start to finish.

    We would like to express our sincere thanks to Ethan, Will, Harry, Joe and David and the chefs behind the scenes, who all worked so hard to ensure everything was perfect. Their dedication and attention to detail made our day even more special. We loved every single minute of our wedding day and will cherish the memories forever.

  • Hannah & Greg - April 2026

    To the amazing team at Carlton Towers,

    Greg and I just wanted to say a huge heartfelt thank you for all your help and support in the lead-up to and on the day of our wedding. Everything ran so smoothly, and that is truly down to Carlton’s amazing teams hard work, organisation, and care. It’s clear how much they care about what they do, and we feel very lucky to have had them there supporting us. Thank you for going above and beyond, it genuinely meant the world to us. 

    Thank you again for helping make our wedding day so special and giving us memories that will definitely last us a lifetime.

  • Stephanie & Stuart - October 2025

    My Gothic Castle ~ Carlton Towers were amazing, the communication and regular meetings, made the wedding planning stress free.

    On the day they took care of everything for us, and made it perfect.

  • TIFFANY & TIM - AUGUST 2025

    Carlton Towers was a magical place to get married. The history and sense of grandeur throughout the house and grounds are truly unmatched.

    Our guests loved being able to wander through the vineyards, explore the property, and find quiet, intimate spots to sit and chat.

    It felt especially special that we and many of our guests were able to stay on site, which made the whole weekend feel relaxed and connected.

    The wedding breakfast the next morning was delicious and a perfect way to bring the celebration to a close.

  • PAIGE & THOMAS - AUGUST 2025

    We had our wedding at Carlton Towers and it truly exceeded all of our expectations. The venue itself is breathtaking, but what really made the day so special were the staff and the incredible food. Every member of the team was so attentive, kind, and professional — nothing was ever too much trouble, and they made us and our guests feel so well cared for throughout the day.

    The food was absolutely outstanding; so many of our guests commented on both the quality and presentation. Each course was cooked to perfection and served seamlessly, adding to the sense of occasion.

    The Honeymoon suite (The Baroness) was beautiful!! The bed was the comfiest bed we’ve ever slept in! The breakfast the next morning was delicious! We never wanted the day to end! 

    Carlton Towers gave us a day we’ll never forget, and we couldn’t be more grateful. If you’re considering this venue for your wedding, you’ll be in the very best hands.

  • Kayla & chris - August 2025

    Our wedding at Carlton Towers was truly unforgettable. We came all the way from the US and didn’t see the venue in person until just a few days before, but everything came together perfectly. The planning process was so easy, and the team made us feel completely at ease every step of the way.

    The venue itself is absolutely stunning, and we loved how many unique spaces there were to enjoy. Having the tearoom and all of our guests staying on site made the weekend feel so special and relaxed. It was such a joy to have everyone together in one place.

    And, on top of it all, the venue hosts so many beautiful spaces for a ceremony that any issues with weather that arose were easily fixed. Our ceremony was scheduled for the front lawn but due to inclement weather, we were able to move the ceremony into the vineyard to avoid all the harsh winds the day had in store for us.

    Carlton Towers gave us the most magical setting to celebrate with our family and friends, and we’ll always be grateful for the memories we made there.

  • Joanne & adam - august 2025

    The food from the canapés to our wedding breakfast and evening food was exceptional. Compliments to the chefs and waiting staff for their work.

    We’re still on a high and can not thank you enough for providing the most beautiful building we could if ever imagined. Carlton Towers has everything we could of wished for. Totally amazing, thank you so much for all you have done for us both.”

  • Jing & Jack - August 2025

    We were over the moon with how the wedding went and ultimately the two of us had the special day that we were hoping for. Working with the team on the run up to the wedding was a major help, and provided a lot of reassurance that we were in good hands.

  • Charlotte & Jonathan - July 2025

    We got married at Carlton Towers on 31st July 2025, and it was nothing short of perfect. From start to finish, the entire day ran so smoothly, and that’s down to the incredible team who went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right.

    The venue itself is breath taking – the moment we arrived, we knew we had made the right choice. It created the most magical backdrop for our wedding and left all our guests in awe.

    The staff were absolutely fantastic – friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the whole day. Nothing was too much trouble, and they truly made us feel special.

    The food was also spectacular – beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. So many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed it, which meant a lot to us.

    We honestly couldn’t have wished for a better day. Carlton Towers gave us memories we’ll treasure forever, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to any future couples looking for their dream wedding venue.

    Thank you for helping us create the most amazing start to our married life.

  • Georgina & James - July 2025

    “Our wedding at Carlton Towers was truly our dream come true. From the moment we started planning, the team was on side to guide us through even the smallest details. They made sure everything was just right.

    From when we arrived for the weekend on Friday evening to when we left on Sunday after breakfast, everything was handled with such care and attention to detail. The day ran so smoothly, it absolutely flew by. The whole celebration was filled with a sense of traditional sophistication that perfectly matched the vision we had always hoped for.

    The setting and staff made the entire experience so personal and bespoke — nothing ever felt rushed or generic, and we were made to feel like the only couple in the world. Their warmth and professionalism shone through in every interaction, and it was clear how much pride they take in creating unforgettable moments.

    The food was simply exquisite; every course was beautifully presented, full of flavour, and thoroughly enjoyed by all of our guests. Beyond the incredible dining, the atmosphere throughout the weekend was magical, with every detail thoughtfully arranged to create memories we will treasure forever.

    We cannot thank the Team at Carlton Towers, and of course the Lord & Lady enough for giving us a wedding weekend that was perfect in every way — a true reflection of love, joy, and timeless elegance.”

  • Carley & N'kose - may 2025

    “N'kose and I can both genuinely say it was the best day of our lives so far and we have you and the rest of the team to thank, in no small part, for that.

    The entire day went so smoothly, we didn't have to worry about anything and could just relax and have fun. For the day to be that seamless, there must have been a phenomenal amount of work behind the scenes going on and we're so grateful for everyone's efforts. All the staff were just consummately professional and fantastic at their jobs. I'd also like to say that every single one of the staff members that we met were really wonderful to us - all willing to go above and beyond and always smiling. It really made our day to have so many kind and friendly members of the team around us.”

  • Philomena (Guest) - may 2025

    “What an absolute piece of heaven, the place is so beautiful. From the second you enter the drive, to walking up the steps it took my breath away. I could feel the love in every room and noted how the staff were more like a Carlton work family than staff, who are so proud of what it represents .

    As I was leaving I happened to bump into the lady of the house. We chatted for a fair time and what an amazing human being who took time out to listen and to chat without any hesitation. Who showed great interest in the wedding party and myself, leaving my last impression of the experience an everlasting happy memory.

    I wanted to personally thank all the staff and owners for making it such a special day for not only the bride and groom but for guests like me too. I can honestly say I loved every single second of the visit and will always spread good words and will with regards to Carlton Towers.”

  • Mr & Mrs Aveling - December 2023
