GETTING READY

BRIDAL HAIR & MAKEUP

We know that this is isn’t a five-minute affair! If you decide not to stay at Fernhalls Mill and to ensure a calm and enjoyable start to your wedding day, we invite you to use the ground floor of Fernhalls Mill as your private getting-ready space, for an additional charge of £100. This gives you plenty of time to settle in, enjoy the excitement of the morning, and prepare at a relaxed pace.

The facilities available on the morning of your wedding day include a bathroom, separate loo, changing room, sitting room, kitchen and central entertaining space.  Picture the atmosphere as you and your bridesmaids settle in for the morning: make-up bags laid out, hairdryers softly humming, and perhaps a glass of something celebratory in hand as the anticipation builds!

And if you would like to extend the experience, Fernhalls Mill can also be booked for the night before your wedding. Rooms are £160 per night, with a minimum of two rooms required to secure the booking.

*Couples taking the Honeymoon Suite who book a two-day wedding or do not have a wedding the day before theirs, can also use the Honeymoon Suite as their private getting-ready space from 8.30am.

THE FINISHING TOUCHES

For couples who use Fernhalls Mill as a getting ready space, they are welcome to move to the Honeymoon Suite at The Barns at Delbury Hall from 11:30am for those all important finishing touches prior to the ceremony.

A hidden doorway provides private access to the Honeymoon Suite, so that our couples won’t accidentally cross paths before the celebrations begin.

THE DOVECOTE

Newly renovated with comfort and style in mind, the Dovecote Dressing Room provides a beautiful, private space for one half of the couple and their wedding party to get ready on the morning of the wedding.

Available from 11:00am, the Dovecote features a dedicated changing area, dressing table and full-length mirror, together with comfortable seating, a wood-burning stove and a drinks bar with an integrated sink and small fridge.

Set beside the Orangery and Garden Cottage, this historic and characterful space offers a relaxed setting to enjoy the excitement of the morning together, with plenty of room to get ready, share a drink and soak up the atmosphere before the celebrations begin.

Use of the Dovecote Dressing Room is available for an additional £100.
