Step 3:
RESERVING A DATE at The NORMANS Yorkshire wedding venue
Choosing a wedding venue is a big decision, so we don’t want to rush you!
If you fall in love with The Normans on your viewing (we hope you will!), you can reserve your chosen date for two weeks, completely free of charge, and with no obligation whatsoever.
If you need a little longer, just let us know - we're flexible and we'd rather you are 110% happy with your decision than feel rushed into it. No hard sell. No pressure. Just a date with your name on it while you take the time you need.
Your reseravation period is a good time to contact the registry office, our caterers, The Hog & Apple Food Co, and tp make sure you’re happy with what’s included in venue hire (and what’s not!). You might even want to visit The Normans a second time with your family!
STEP 4:
Booking your wedding date at the Normans RUstic Barn Venue
We’ll be in touch towards the end of your reservation period. If you decide not to go ahead with the booking - no problem! We simply put your date back on the market.
If you do want to proceed with your booking (hooray!), we’ll raise the invoice for the 25% holding deposit and your wedding date is officially secured!
The 25% interim payment is due 12 weeks before the wedding, and the 50% final payment is due 4 weeks before the Big Day. If you’d prefer to make more regular installments, no problem, we can work out a payment plan.
STEP 5:
Planning your big day
Once you've booked the venue our dedicated team will be with you every step of the way.
Planning a wedding is exciting - but it can at times feel overwhelming. We're here to make the whole process as enjoyable as the day itself.
Call, email, or visit us as often as you like - there's no such thing as too many questions.
We offer wedding-related advice and insights throughout your planning journey.
We also know loads of wonderful wedding suppliers - from florists to photographers, make-up artists to musicians.
STEP 6:
YOUR WEDDING DAY
Most venues give you a day. We give you three.
From the moment you arrive the day-before the wedding, to waving off your guests at midnight, to a relaxed morning-after collecting your flowers and gifts - The Normans is entirely yours. No other weddings. No strangers. Just you, your people, and the run of the place - including the surrounding farmland.
Day 1
Set up, style, and settle in the day before the wedding: decorate at your own pace from 11.30am.
Day 2
On the wedding day itself, our team will be onsite from start to finish - coordinating with your suppliers, welcoming your guests, keeping everything running smoothly, and handling loigistics so you can be fully present.
In short: you won't have a thing to think about (other than having the best day of your lives).
Day 3
The morning after: collect gifts and flowers until 11am.
