Why this guide exists
Most couples start with a place. They want to marry by the river at Bolton Abbey, in a market town like Skipton or Settle, or somewhere up the dales, and then need to know which venues hold their numbers, what they cost and whether they can marry there or only celebrate. That information is spread across dozens of venue websites and brochures, and the national wedding sites often leave out the price or the capacity.
This guide puts those facts side by side. Each venue page shows the capacity, any starting price the venue publishes, bedrooms, catering and whether North Yorkshire Council lists it as approved for civil ceremonies, with a link to where each fact came from. Suppliers are listed by what they do and where they are based, with the local venues their own websites mention.
Which venues and suppliers are listed
Venues are listed when they are in Craven, the part of North Yorkshire around Skipton, Settle and Grassington. Suppliers are listed when they work on weddings and are based in Craven, or nearby and name Craven or the Dales on their own website. Each listing shows the facts the business publishes, and says so where it doesn't.
Right now that is 29 venues and 155 suppliers, last updated 11 November 2026. 21 venues are on the council's approved list, 8 publish a starting price and 21 publish a capacity.
Free listings
Every listing is free. Nobody pays to be listed or to change what a page says about them.
Who runs it
Yorkshire Dales Wedding is an independent guide to getting married in Craven, North Yorkshire. No venue or supplier owns it or pays for what it says. It puts the published facts side by side so couples can compare venues and find suppliers who work locally. It is not connected with any venue, supplier or other business trading under a similar name.
