Wedding planning hints & tips
You said ‘yes’, got the diamond ring and can’t wait to tie the knot, so why wait to book your wedding?
If you simply can’t wait to ‘save the date’ we’ve put together some handy hints and tips to help you plan the big day.
Create a timeline and set a budget
The best way to get organised is to create a list of all the things you need to do in the lead up to the big day and put them into a timeline. This way you can prioritise the ‘big’ things that need to be done first and as you tick them off your list you can work your way through the ‘smaller’ tasks. Setting a budget will help you set spending limits.
Make finding your dream venue and booking the church or registrar your first jobs as they will provide the basis for the rest of your planning.
Find your dream venue
Gisborough Hall offers lots of wedding options. If you’re looking for a grand wedding to rival that of the royals, look no further than our ballroom. With its sweeping staircase, high ceilings and chandeliers, the Madoc Suite will provide a memorable setting for your special day.
If it’s a smaller and more intimate day you’re looking for The Longhull Room is perfect. Here you’ll find an elegant dining room with fireplace, oil paintings and mullioned windows overlooking the Cleveland Hills – great for sharing the big day with your nearest and dearest.
With views of the rose garden and rolling countryside, The Glass House is an idyllic setting for an English country wedding. Say your vows with a backdrop of beautiful views and enjoy drinks on our sun-drenched terrace.
Say your vows surrounded by nature in beautiful grounds – as your guests watch on from rustic wedding benches overlooking the hills, say ‘I do’ in a garden wedding ceremony at Gisborough Hall.
