Incredible stress-free country house
Our package at Holdworth house includes so many concepts (DJ, four course meal, canapes, welcome drinks, ceremony room, reception room and rooms for the evening etc) all stress free with a lovely coordinator for the day.
It's more than we could imagine. It's all country old times class quality.
We are in love with our venue.

Giddy!!!
Really can't wait for our wedding next week at Holdsworth House Hotel in Halifax. Claire Nicholl our wedding coordinator has been an absolute star. Answering my 1001 questions every week!
The venue is an old jacobean mansion and is celebrating its 60th year under the ownership of the Pearson family. There is such a lot of history there I've made a newspaper to tell our guests all about it!
Lots of famous people have stayed there and it is used as a filming location for lots of TV and films.
You really need to visit!
When I walk in there it's like walking into a family home.

Rustic & Perfect
We fell in love with Holdsworth House & knew straight away that we wanted to get married there. Its a jacobean house with character all the way through. Very rustic, which is what drew us both in. The staff are very attentive & friendly. Amanda talks you through your requirements & explains how the whole day will go from beginning to end. No question was a daft question & we felt like all staff will have our whole day under control.
