Hatfeild Hall Wedding – Brian & Rachel
Hatfeild Hall in Wakefield might just be the prettiest wedding venue in West Yorkshire, and I don’t say that lightly.
Set within the stunning grounds of Normanton Golf Club, Hatfeild Hall is a hidden gem just five minutes from Wakefield city centre. As you drive up the long, tree-lined avenue, flanked by manicured fairways and a striking fountain, the Hall reveals itself—a proud 18th-century manor house built from Yorkshire stone, with whitewashed walls that glow in golden hour light. It’s the kind of venue that feels like the countryside, yet is incredibly accessible.
Why Hatfeild Hall Stands Out
• Exclusive use: Unlike other venues that stack weddings back-to-back, Hatfeild Hall hosts one wedding per day. That means no other brides, no other grooms—just you, your guests, and the full attention of the staff.
• Accessibility: The venue is all on one level, making it ideal for guests with mobility needs. It’s thoughtful, elegant, and inclusive.
• Photogenic charm: From the elevated position of the Hall to the sweeping lawns and soft stone textures, it’s a dream for light and airy wedding photography.
Rachel & Brian’s Day
Rachel and Brian fell in love with Hatfeild Hall the moment they visited. When I asked why they chose it, their answer was simple: “It’s beautiful, it’s local, and the staff made everything super easy.” Working with Occasions by Tori, they found the planning process seamless—and the styling? Absolutely top-tier.
As someone who regularly photographs weddings at luxury venues like Grantley Hall and Swinton Castle, I can confidently say the design at Hatfeild Hall was right up there. My personal favourite? The floral arch that framed the ceremony—it was the perfect focal point and added a romantic softness to the space.

Why I’m Backing Hatfeild Hall
I get asked to recommend venues often, but Hatfeild Hall genuinely aligns with my style and values. It’s elegant without being overdone, welcoming without being generic, and it photographs beautifully. When I update my venue guide, Hatfeild Hall will be right at the top of my Wakefield list.
If you’re planning a wedding in Wakefield or West Yorkshire, do yourself a favour—visit Hatfeild Hall. You’ll be surprised by how pretty it is, how warm the staff are, and how effortlessly it all comes together.
