The Normans wedding venue at The UK Wedding Event, York Racecourse

It's been a while since we've updated our blog (apologies), but we've been so busy since opening a couple of weeks ago, we just haven't had the time.

Our weekends (and weekdays, thinking about it) have been jam-packed with viewings and we've received some great feedback, so far. So, a BIG thank you to everyone who has come to see us.

If you haven't yet had the chance to visit and would like to book a viewing, then don't hesitate to get in touch and we'll arrange a date.

The team at The Normans also made an appearance at The UK Wedding Event at York Racecourse on Sunday March 20 (see picture). It was great to meet so many brides-to-be (and their ever-enthusiastic husbands!), as well as some really cool suppliers.

Thanks to photographer Joss Widdowson who took the amazing picture of our Courtyard, which we used for our backdrop at the event (and for our homepage). And, also, many thanks to ITP in Easingwold for helping us print said image onto such a huge banner! Last of all, thank you to everyone who dropped by to say hello!

We're looking forward to making an appearance at more wedding fayres and events soon. Hopefully see you there!

Read all about us! The Normans Weddings & Events is featured in two of Yorkshire's top magazines

The grand opening of The Normans is just under two months away, but our wedding venue is already being featured in some of Yorkshire's top wedding magazines!

We are thrilled that our wedding was chosen for the cover of the November-December 2015 issue of Your Yorkshire Wedding magazine (featuring our beloved pug, Betty!)

We hope that the four-page spread will give you an idea of what to expect from our stunning new wedding venue, which combines rustic features with innovative design: just the spot for a truly unique wedding.

There's also a great online preview of our new wedding venue on the Your Yorkshire Wedding website, which gives another sneak peak of what we have in store...

A month later, The Normans Weddings & Events found its way into Yorkshire Bride magazine, an annual publication chock-full of the best wedding venues and suppliers in the county for Yorkshire's brides-to-be.

As you'll see, our wedding venue will feature a beautifully landscaped south-facing courtyard complete with gorgeous flowers, lighting, water feature and seating (where better to sup champagne in the sun?)

Just off The Courtyard you can step into our amazing atrium-roofed marquee - at 12m x 21m there's room enough for dining, drinking and dancing, whatever the size of your guest list.

To the south of The Courtyard you can tie the knot in our rustic barn, while to the west are the quirky Cow Stalls that make for the ultimate country-cool snug!
