Ceremony & Reception
Every space tells
a different love story.
From intimate indoor ceremony rooms to open-air celebrations beneath the Yorkshire sky, choose the setting that speaks to who you are.
Licensed Ceremony Room
The Civil
Ceremony Room
Step through the door and the world outside simply stops. Tall windows filter the South Yorkshire light into something soft and golden, landing across the room in a way that no photographer could plan, but every one of them loves. This is where you look at each other and the words that matter most finally leave your lips. Intimate enough that every face in the room is one you know by heart.
Reception & Dining
The Park Suite
The Park Suite transforms for every wedding as though it were always meant for yours, whether that means understated elegance with candlelight and foliage, or something bold and theatrical that leaves your guests speechless. It’s where your reception becomes a moment in time: first dance, speeches, laughter echoing between walls that have held decades of the same joy.
Garden Celebrations
The Marquee
Imagine the moment the sun dips below the treeline, the fairy lights catch, and the evening turns gold. The Marquee at Thornhurst is where the outdoors and the indoors reach an understanding — you get the sky, the greenery, the feeling of breathing clean Yorkshire air, without ever sacrificing the elegance of a truly dressed event. Seasons change around it. Your wedding doesn’t need to.
Al Fresco Ceremonies
Outdoor
Civil Ceremonies
Some moments are simply better under the open sky. Say your vows on the grounds of Thornhurst Manor — manicured lawns stretching away behind your guests, the manor itself standing as your backdrop, birdsong doing what no string quartet can. Our team handles every detail so that you’re not thinking about logistics. You’re just thinking about each other.
Moments Made to be Captured
A venue that photographs well without trying.
Thornhurst Manor was built for photographs that happen without trying. The way the morning light falls through the sash windows. The deep green of the grounds against the cream stonework of the manor. The long driveway that seems to stretch into something cinematic the moment a couple walks down it.
Our approved photographers know this place the way a second home feels — they know where the light is generous, where the gardens turn golden at dusk, and where the building itself becomes part of the story. The result is images you’ll reach for when you want to feel it all again.
Approved Partners
Photographers who know every corner.
We work with a hand-selected group of photographers and videographers who share our commitment to capturing weddings with honesty, warmth, and craft. Each one has built their portfolio here — so they’re not finding the venue on the day. They’re already home.
Food & Dining
The part your guests always remember.
Food at a wedding should do more than fill a plate. It should feel like a continuation of the occasion — generous, unhurried, made with care. Our kitchen works with fresh, seasonal ingredients prepared on the day, by chefs who understand that the difference between good food and memorable food is in the attention you give it.
From a three-course wedding breakfast to a relaxed evening grazing table, every menu at Thornhurst is built around your preferences, your guests, and the story of your day. We’ll work with you on every detail — dietary requirements included, never as an afterthought.
Couples Who've Been Here
Real words from real weddings
“We were honestly blown away by the value for money. The quality of service far exceeded what we expected for the price, and every detail felt premium without the premium stress on our budget.”
Kyle & Kerry
Married at Thornhurst Manor, August 2025
“If you’re thinking about booking – do it. Best decision we made (apart from saying ‘I do’ obviously!). The whole process was smooth, fun and actually enjoyable, which we didn’t expect when planning a wedding!”
Shannon & Megan
Married at Thornhurst Manor, November 2025
“Montana & Carly made everything so easy for us. With weddings being so expensive, finding something that offered this level of service at such great value was amazing. Worth every single penny.”

Questions
Things people ask us most.
How many guests can Thornhurst Manor accommodate?
It really depends on your vision. Our Civil Ceremony Suite and Park Suite each comfortably seat up to 100 guests, while our stunning Marquee can welcome up to 250. During your venue visit, we’ll talk through your guest numbers and help you find the perfect setup for your day.
Is Thornhurst Manor licensed for civil ceremonies?
Yes. There is a dedicated Civil Ceremony Suite dressed with a signature twinkle backdrop, and outdoor civil ceremonies are also available in the manicured grounds.
Is there parking for guests at the venue?
Yes — free car parking is included and referenced in the venue’s amenities.
Can we have exclusive use of the venue?
We only ever host one wedding at a time at Thornhurst Manor, meaning your big day always gets our full focus and dedication. Your wedding spaces, team, and the beautiful estate grounds are completely yours — so you can relax and enjoy every moment knowing you’re our priority.
When can we access the venue to set up?
We want you to have as much time as possible to prepare and personalise your space, and access ahead of your wedding day is something we’re always happy to discuss. Availability can vary depending on what’s happening around your date, so we’d recommend speaking with your coordinator early on to confirm the arrangements that work best for you.
Do you cater for dietary requirements and cultural traditions?
Yes on both counts. Dietary and allergy requirements can be discussed with a coordinator. There is also a dedicated section on Asian weddings, welcoming Hindu, Sikh, and Muslim Nikah ceremonies, with approved external caterers permitted for cultural cuisine.
Do you have recommended suppliers we can work with?
Yes — the brochure lists hand-picked suppliers covering venue styling, photography, videography, florists, wedding cakes, cars, hair & makeup, fireworks, stationery, photobooths, and décor.
What is included in a wedding package?
Wedding packages vary, couples are encouraged to download the wedding brochure to see the full list of options, as packages are fully customisable to suit every couple’s vision.
