We want to say a massive thanks to you and the rest of the Weddings Team, especially Emma and Alex. The day went superbly and we really couldn’t have asked for anything more, it was so special. A truly emotional day for not only us, but also for my Step dad, who was so proud to walk me down the aisle at long last. It was the winter wedding we never got 10 years ago. Huge thanks also to Dean who saved the day with the table layout and helped us rearrange the table and seating a little bit, and also helped us with making sure the cd music played ok. Both the Scarborough and Northumbria rooms were so beautiful, very festive and only added to the magic of the day. The talented chefs and kitchen staff gave us stunning food and the delicious canapés were a huge hit with our guests. All of our guests, some of which had never been to Lumley Castle, were enchanted with it, and fell in love with its unique quirkiness. I don’t think Lily has ever had so many “hello’s”. We feel extremely blessed that we had such an professional team working hard to create the perfect day for us, and at the head of that team was you Holly. You are so good at your job. Efficiency personified, and a 1000 thank-yous are not enough. From sorting out our precise accommodation requests, the perfect menu and drinks, my never ending calls and emails regarding trivial little details, and you did it all with a perfect blend of calm and reassurance. As you may remember when we first met you, we said we have been visiting Lumley for the best part of 20 years and it is always our “No 1 go-to” place whenever we have a special occasion, birthday, anniversary, ... or even just a Wednesday! So again, please accept our heartfelt thanks for giving us such a memorable day, we will never forget it.

We found lumley as a venue quite by accident as it wasn't somewhere we had thought about. but from walking in the door we knew it was the venue for us! The castle is beautiful with an amazing atmosphere and it really was a dream venue to us! From the very start of the process the planning staff could not be more helpful. We always felt like our questions were welcomed and they were accommodating in every aspect. Our day went perfectly, the staff were amazing and the food was lovely. I can not recommend them enough. A massive thank you to Holly, Kim and all the staff who worked on the day xxx

From the moment we went to a wedding fair at Lumley we were so impressed by the staff, service and venue that they went straight to the top of our list! The organisation and support before the day was top notch and we felt very safe in the hands of the wedding and operations team. The day itself was a dream. The staff were friendly and welcoming to our guests. They took care of everything so all my husband and I had to do was enjoy the day. They were accommodating to our wishes so our guests enjoyed themselves too. The venue itself is stunning and made such a good impression on our guests. It also looked amazing in photos! We are incredibly pleased with our experience with Lumley Castle and genuinely cannot praise it highly enough.

Don't know where to start! We cannot thank yourself and Tony enough for giving us the day of our dreams. We really did have a fairytale. Everything was completely perfect. The only thing we picked up on was the DJs skills were a bit dated. He didn't know a lot of the songs people were requesting and the floor was a bit empty. However, we had enough entertainment elsewhere so it wasn't an issue. A big thank you to Tony who went above and beyond for us nothing was too much trouble.

Lumley Castle was without doubt the right venue for our wedding and we are really pleased we chose it. Everything ran smoothly on the day, it’s a venue with a lot of experience of weddings and they know what they are doing. David was our Co-ordinator on the day and he was great, helpful, nothing was too much trouble and it felt like he really cared about everything running smoothly. We booked the Scarbrough room for our ceremony and the Baron Suite for the reception. It was lovely to have the two options for the two elements of our day. The Baron Suite is really quirky - if you book it and go for table flowers I recommend utilising the candelabras, we did and they looked fab with trailing flowers arranged by our florist. Emma and Holly were excellent in terms of the planning, very helpful, knew their stuff and were very responsive. One of the things I found stressful with wedding planning was when suppliers didn’t get back very promptly but that was never an issue with Lumley. Always consistent in terms of communication. Price wise, we went with the sapphire package and it felt reasonable for what we got, our guests loved the food. There wasn’t much negotiation on price for things, some prices/pricing strategies were set in stone. So if you are looking for a lot of negotiation price wise then this may not be the venue for you. However I don’t know that other venues are big on negotiation either. If you want to get married somewhere that’s extremely picturesque for photos, quirky for guests and with staff who genuinely are lovely then I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lumley Castle. We had a brilliant day and our chosen venue was definitely part of this.

We had a very intimate wedding with just the 2 of us and our daughter. Emma our wedding coordinator made sure that the package we choose was tailored right for us and kept us updated which was brill and we want to thank her for that. The King James suite was even better than the pics and the bed one of the most comfortable I have slept in. Massive thank you to Kim and Claire our witnesses. And a massive well done to Kim and her team: Sam, Sharon and Sarah for making our night in the restaurant perfect. Their customer service was of a high standard. Kim made sure that our evening meal was exactly as we expected it, on time, nothing was to much trouble for her. A real asset to the hotel. The food was also cooked beautifully and the quality was outstanding. So hats off to the Chefs. It was great to be looked after by very professional but still friendly staff. If you are at Lumley Castle and you feel the menu is quite basic for your taste, speak with the restaurant team, they will make an ordinary meal extraordinary. Thank you all for making our special day so special.

We got married on the 7th July 2018 at Lumley Castle, The weather was sunny and the venue is beautiful. Due to the number of guests attending, we had our Marriage ceremony in the Barons Hall. As it was 2nd time around for both my wife and I, we decided to break convention and went with the Elizabethan banquet instead of the traditional wedding breakfast. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment that went with it. The hotel staff were all very friendly and helpful. There are also some lovely areas in the grounds for some great photographs to look back upon the memories of the day. I highly recommend Lumley Castle.

Our wedding here was beyond perfect. Right from our first visit we knew we’d made the right decision. The staff were attentive and so knowledgable. The venue speaks for itself, we love being able to tell our little boy “mammy & daddy we’re married in a castle!”. The food was another huge highlight, the wedding breakfast was delicious as was the evening buffet. Our guests' highlights were how the day flowed so well and also... the sausage rolls?! Apparently they were to die for!? They still get talked about to this day! We would definitely say, if you’re looking for a stand out venue where nothing is too much trouble, take a look at Lumley ????

"My now husband and I first came to visit Lumley Castle back in October 2017 and met with one of the wedding team. We looked around the stunning castle and took a look at both the beautiful reception rooms. We knew that Lumley Castle was the venue for us and we choose the beautiful light and bright Garter Suite, and booked our wedding the very next day. From the start the wedding team were very helpful and guided us through the process of organising our prefect day. With regular emails and updates from the team to what needed to be done next and kept us informed at every stage of the process. Every question to the team was promptly responded to. We got married at Lumley Castle on the 30th March 2019. The day itself was absolutely perfect, the events team, imparticular David made sure everything was just how we wanted it and made me feel confident that our day would be perfect for us. The day ran so smoothly and was very well organised thanks to Lumley's amazing staff. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and ensured that all our guests had everything they needed. The wedding breakfast meal was fantastic, all of our guests commented how delicious the food was, every course was served and cleared very fluently. The wedding breakfast was lovely and relaxed. Our wedding day was perfect from start to to finish, we could not have wanted anymore from our special day. The castle itself and reception rooms were the perfect setting for our day. It's such a beautiful place full of character and interest every where you look. Our guests where astonished with how wonderful Lumley Castle is and how attentive the staff were. I would like to say a huge Thank You to Lumley Castle for giving us our perfect wedding day! Mr and Mrs Bush."

What can I say about our experience at Lumley Castle for our wedding! It was outstanding from start to finish and we had the most wonderful day ever with our friends and family, which will stay with us always. The wedding team are brilliant! Holly was so friendly and helpful, and always had great communication and efficiency with us, which made things so easy to organise. David who we met a few days before the wedding and who took care of everything on our entire day, was nothing short of fantastic. As soon as we arrived with our lists, vision and requests he put us at complete ease and took away any last minute stresses that you inevitably feel days before. He was marvellous at taking care of all the finer details and made everything run like clockwork on the day, meaning we could absolutely not worry about a thing, and just enjoy our wonderful day. All of the guests commented on how amazing not only the place looked but just how everything flowed so well, which was a credit to him and his team. I’ve always loved Lumley Castle and after getting engaged in London a few years ago, saw it in all its glory on the train journey home. After previously talking about having a low key wedding somewhere, that all changed and I said to Chris, that I wanted to get married there, and we did! I’d say to anyone thinking about Lumley Castle for their special day, do it! I can’t praise it enough – beautiful grounds, beautiful rooms – the Scarbrough state room lovely for our ceremony, and the Garter room was stunning for our celebrations. The food delicious and the staff and wedding team are brilliant. You’ll have an overall fabulous time making lots of happy memories you can look back on.

We got married at Lumley Castle in April 2019. From booking 18 months prior the Weddings team made every effort to ensure nothing was too much trouble and were very easy to contact when required. When we visited the Castle we were made to feel very welcome and they ensured the planning was stress free! The wedding day itself ran like clockwork and all the staff were so hard working to made our dream day exactly what we had imagined. The Castle and the grounds are beautiful and a perfect location for any wedding.

We had an absolutely amazing day and it could not have been better. We have received lovely feedback from our guests as well. Mark and I would like to thank the whole wedding team for the work you all put into making our day so special. If you could pass on our thanks to David (superstar organiser) and all of the other staff who helped us during our stay we would be grateful. I’m not sure who the gentleman was on reception we saw when we arrived on Friday but he was lovely and so helpful. We have already decided to return to Lumley Castle to celebrate our 1st anniversary and will be booking the King James Suite soon.

We got married here on 9th June after falling in love with the castle from the moment we visited, and it really was the best day of our lives! The whole day was perfect from start to finish; better than we ever imagined! Christina was amazing from the very first meeting we had with her, and helped us every step of the way and on the day itself, Keith did a brilliant job of making sure everything went to plan. We can't thank the two of them enough! So many guests commented on how lovely the day was and the few shots we've seen from our photographer so far are amazing! We cant wait to see the full set now! We honestly couldn't have chosen a better place to get married and we look forward to visiting for years to come. Mr and Mrs Knill

Wow!! What can I say.. We were married here two weeks ago and still on cloud 9! This castle exceeded our expectations and really did deliver our dream wedding which we will remember for the rest of our lives. The team at Lumley Castle are nothing short of miracle workers and their dedication really shone through right from the very first time we made contact. For anyone considering a castle wedding at Lumley! I whole heartedly recommend you do it! They are flexible and work to your specific budget and really do take the time to figure out what's important to ensure everything is perfect. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! Mr & Mrs Anderson

We cannot thank all of the team at Lumley Castle enough for making our Wedding Day so very special and for helping make the day run so smoothly. From the very first email sent to enquire about booking our wedding, right up until the Wedding day was over, every single member of staff was so helpful, friendly, and professional. They honestly couldn't have done more for us and the day itself ran like a dream, not one stressful moment. That was all thanks to the organisation building up to the day with all of Christina's help, and on the day Alison was a complete superstar running around making sure everything went to plan. They both made me feel so relaxed about the Wedding day and Alison did such an amazing job on the day making sure all the decorations and little bits and pieces that all us Brides worry about not being in the right place were just perfect. We really had the most amazing day and we cannot thank and recommend Lumley Castle enough for the perfect Wedding venue. We look forward to coming back to celebrate with them for many years to come. Thank you so much, Mr & Mrs Rowland.

We fell in love with Lumley castle when we viewed it and booked our wedding for October 14th 2017 without any second thought! It was the best decision ever the day was absolutely perfect, thankyou to all the staff and especially Alison who was there from morning right the way though making sure the day and night was amazing, all our guests loved her �� beautiful memories from such a beautiful place xx

We had our wedding at Lumley Castle a few weeks a go and we are still amazed at how wonderful it was! From the start until finish it was so well organised, all the staff were amazing and friendly and even our guests have commented on how good a day it was. The food was fabulous and we have never had a sticky toffee pudding that tasted as good!!! Thanks again Ryan & Teresa

We had our wedding here this September after both my husband and parents fell in love with the venue a year or so before whilst venue-hunting. Lumley Castle provides the best wedding packages - which cover not only the food/dining related parts of a wedding, but even some centrepieces and top table flowers (and accommodation for the couple the night of the wedding too!) Our coordinators were all we could ask for in terms of assistance, with brilliant communication. This meant our wedding planning was far from stressful at all. The day of the wedding was executed with perfection - everything was exactly how we expected, and better. Our family/guests had a wonderful time thanks to Alison's spot-on organisation (even though she'd had two weddings already the day before!) Thank you so much once again for putting together such a fabulous wedding. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to organise a gorgeous wedding with minimal stress.

We had our wedding here last Friday.... From start to finish, it was just the most amazing, perfect day, better than we could of ever dreamed of! Most beautiful place ever, staff are amazing and nothing is too much trouble. However, Alison the wedding co ordinator has got to be the most fantastic wedding co ordinator ever! She went above and beyond for us all day. She made sure everything went to plan and helped make our day the best day of our lives! Everyone commented how fantastic she was! She really is an asset to this venue! Thank you so much Alison and all staff at Lumley Castle for making our dreams come true xx

We got married here on the 6th Oct 2017 and all I can say it it was absolutely fantastic and that was massively down to the venue and staff, our wedding planner Alison was unbelievable as all the lumley staff. This was even more the special as I am the most unorganised laid back person in the world so dealing with someone like me and getting everything to run like it did is a testament to the place. The amount of people who we have come up to us and say it’s one of the best days nights they have ever had has been breathtaking so I can not recommend the place any higher. They truly did make our day truly amazing and I don’t think anywhere else could of done this. Great venue, great staff absolutely perfect and there after service is also great, if you are thinking about using this place for a wedding go for it you will not be disappointed ����

Hi Christina, Thanks to you and Lucinda for making our wedding a special day we will never forget. Please can you give a huge thanks to Alison. This lady is so professional, amazing, so down to earth dear me the list could go on and on. We loved every moment and by what my guests were saying they enjoyed themselves too. Thanks again guys. Karen & Pete x

We had our wedding here on Saturday 17th June 2017. We had a fabulous weekend from start to finish...in fact the whole process was fantastic; from meeting the sales coordinators and planning from their end - thank you Christina - to the coordinator and staff on the day - thank you Keith; you put Laura completely at ease before the day and both you and your staff were on the ball, the room looked stuning, the food was amazing and the service was like a "well oiled machine" (I overheard one of guests saying that), thank you also for keeping us fed and watered on such a hot day even though we (and you) were non-stop. Our guests were full of compliments for the venue and staff, again, from the start of their experience at check in to check out. Laura and I will certainly be back to enjoy the venue again and maybe even pay you all a visit sooner than you think.

Our wedding here on the 22nd of April 2017 was the most amazing day we could ever had hoped for. It was like a fairytale and everyone at Lumley castle made it even more perfect. I expected it to be amazing but they took it to another level. Everything thing was even better than we imagined it to be. I couldn't imagine anywhere I would rather be than this place. It is going to be a place we return to on a regular occasion from now on. Alison, my god you are good at your job. Thank you so much. We feel like we have known you for years even tho we only met you last week. Thank you so much. You are a credit to Lumley castle

Thank you for being our wedding coordinator and for your patience, your help and your advice. We would have been totally lost without you! You planned a fabulous day for us and so many of our guests loved the Castle as our venue choice... You ensured that our day went smoothly and that everything went as it should have. Thank you so much for your professionalism and hard work! Mr & Mrs. Jobling

I just wanted to say thank you to you and all of the team at Lumley Castle for making our wedding day such a wonderful day. I have got to say it ran so smoothly and I really appreciated all our your help in the run up to the day and all of Keith’s help on the day. We had a perfect day!

will be recommending Lumley… " Hi Keith, just wanted to personally thank you and your staff for making mine and Cheryl’s day go so smoothly. We and all guests had a fantastic day and can’t thank you enough for your attention to detail throughout. We will be recommending Lumley as a venue and your name as a co-ordinator to all our friends that are looking to marry in the future. Thanks again Keith. - The Greens. Wedding 14th March 2015.

Hi Donna, The New Mr & Mrs Eaton would like to say a massive thank you to all the staff at Lumley castle, they made us feel very welcome and made our day very special, there are two people in particular we would like to thank, Keith our wedding co-ordinator, he was absolutely fab on the day, and he made everything run so smoothly. The second person we would like you to thank if you could pass the message on is Tony who worked at breakfast and also in the Library bar, from the minute we arrived on the Friday to the minute we left on the Monday he made us feel very welcome, he had a great sense of humour and every single member of our family and friends who met him have asked me to thank him on there behalf. To sum him up in one word he was FANTASTIC. If you could please pass these messages on that would be great. Once again we would like to say a massive thank you to all members of staff at the hotel, you were brilliant. Warm regards Dan & Debs, Mr & Mrs Eaton, 10th April 2015.
