Princess Mary’s Drawing Room
This large, sunny room, with views south over the gardens, can cater for up to 150 guests for a civil ceremony or up to 110 for a fully seated wedding breakfast. The room was extensively remodelled by John Carr of York and Robert Adam in the 1750s and boasts an Adam marble fireplace. A large parquet dance floor can be used to transform this room for evening dancing.

Sir Richard Hutton Dining Room
This room has many 18th century features, including the triumphal Adam’s pillars either side of the bay and decorative cornices, but its stunning focal point is the 16th-century stone fireplace. With carvings depicting scenes from the Old Testament on the over-mantel, this fireplace is said to predate the Hall. This room can cater for up to 100 people for a civil ceremony or 80 for a fully seated wedding breakfast.

The Oak-Panelled Library
Covered in Jacobean oak-panelling and with its elaborately painted plaster ceiling, this dramatic room can host up to 90 guests for a civil ceremony. This room is almost exactly how it was in Princess Mary’s day – even the dog grate in the fireplace can be seen in photographs from her era. This room can also be used for evening dancing using the large parquet dance floor.

The Hanson Conservatory
Many couples would like to get married outside – and although this is not yet possible in England, a wedding in The Hanson Conservatory is the next best thing. Licensed for ceremonies, this room, on the sunny south side of the house, has two walls of glass that can be concertinaed open, allowing the bride and groom to be in the room for the formal part of the ceremony, while the rest of their congregation are outside on the terrace. This makes a wonderful alternative for a sunny summer’s day wedding.

The Gardens
The Hall’s gardens were laid out in the style of Capability Brown and boast some magnificent and mature trees. These include ancient yew, beech and pseudo-acacia trees along with giant redwood, white beam and one of the oldest horse chestnuts left standing in the country. There is also a copse of five Japanese cherry trees, given to Princess Mary as a wedding gift by the Emperor of Japan. In early spring the garden is awash with snowdrops, many different and rare varieties. Guests for a summer wedding could start with champagne and canapés served on the terrace, which has stunning and uninterrupted views across unspoilt parkland. Music from a jazz band or a string quartet can be organised to entertain. Winter wedding guests could sip mulled wine, served in the Library in front of a roaring log fire.

St Mary’s Church, Goldsborough
Couples can also consider getting married in the church (Church of England) adjoining the Hall, with its own private royal entrance to the Hall. The 13th-century church is Norman in origin and could also be considered for a blessing.
