Gorgeous Wedding Venue

I've had the pleasure of conducting a wedding ceremony at Skitby House. The venue is gorgeous and the staff are just incredible. Their attention to detail is second to none and they go above and beyond to make sure guests and suppliers are well looked after. I adore Skitby.

Simply the best!!!!!

Our special day was simply amazing all thanks to the outstanding team at Skitby House. It truly was the most perfect day from beginning to the very end. We could not have planned the day without the amazing Katherine as she helped us with every little detail and made our day run seamlessly. Chris also played a big part doing all of our stunning wedding flowers and making sure the delicious food was cooked and served to perfection, we can’t thank them both enough! We didn’t stop smiling all day!

Beyond anything I dreamed of...

Skitby House exceeded all expectations of our perfect wedding day and truly created a fairytail venue for us. They made everything so easy and simple and the day was beyond the perfection you dream of for your wedding day - it was our own. Every single guest complimented the Venue and even commented "the most beautiful place for a wedding we've ever been to" and "so intimate yet relaxed!". I cannot express how simply stunning this venue is and how amazing the staff there are. A real hidden gem.

Our Dream Wedding

The Skitby team are amazing especially Katherine. The food was outstanding and throughout the whole process of arranging our wedding Katherine made everything so enjoyable for us and gave us some great ideas along the way. We've had loads of great compliments from our friends and family who attended. The venue is amazing and you won't be disappointed. The best day of our lives, we would love to do it all over again.
