Dine (Events & Venues) - Leeds

Becca Corlett

We had Dine for our wedding at Sefton Park Palm House on Easter Saturday and they were flawless!! In the lead up to the wedding, Jen had been amazing on emails and zoom calls - always responding promptly to any questions/worries and making sure we were well informed on every little detail of how the day would run. She was a fabulous contact to have and we felt at ease that she could do events like the back of her hand and nothing was too much trouble for her! All of staff on the day were professional, attentive and friendly and we felt like we couldn't have had better! Now the food...wow! We went for the barbecue menu as we wanted a more relaxed vibe and for people to have as much or as little as they wanted. It was unrealllll and we had so many positive comments from our guests about how delicious the food was! Some even went back for thirds! There was a great selection for everyone and they accommodated any dietary requirements with ease. Thank you soooooo much to Jen and the team - you were a massive part of the best day of our lives and we're very grateful, Becca & Stefan X

Howsham hall is truly the most exceptional venue for the biggest day of your life. Guests will be in awe of the building from their first sight coming down the driveway. It’s an image which certainly stuck in the minds of my wife and I and one we could never get out when selecting a venue, so it became the immediate choice. Howsham lived up to all the dreams of the day and it couldn’t have gone any better right from the start. That is down a huge part to all the staff on the day who worked tirelessly to ensure all the guests we looked after to the highest of standards and especially my wife and me. All the dine staff on the day were a true credit to their hospitality industry. The grounds are immaculate presenting a stunning backdrop for the whole occasion, and wonderful external picture locations. The whole interior has been carefully designed to bring out the detail of the historic building, one which you don't have (or want) to add too much decor to, as not to spoil the historic detail. Again, this interior design is a perfect backdrop for incredible images of your day. The bridal suite is second to none we had ever seen on our primary research. The room is a perfect setting for the bride and her bridal party to prepare and settle into the day, the windows again creating a perfect picture spot to show off the bride in their best light.
The evening space has been revamped and has a perfect balance between space and in keeping with the traditional style of the hall. Plenty of seating and dancing space alongside a well-stocked and manned bar - what more do you need for your evening party? Evening food service is a great option instead of a buffet as it allows guests to relax and not clutter up the space.
The Food throughout the whole day was amazing too, the Dine chefs create dishes tasting fantastic and the presentation is equally as matched.
The venue is an absolute must visit and when you go you are truly going to struggle to find something which will eclipse this idyllically located venue.
The whole planning process was so straightforward, and you are assisted throughout with expert assistance (something you will continue to receive on the wedding day) and a personal thankyou to Craig for this as he helped make the day as special and memorable as it was!

Dine catered our wedding at the Palm House and we cannot recommend them enough! We got so many comments on how well organised things were and it made such a difference to have everything run so smoothly, we didn’t have to think about a thing on the day.
We asked for a fully plant-based wedding and they accommodated us without batting an eye. Everyone raved about the food as well!
Really really happy with everything Dine provided, Jenny and the team were fabulous!

Jenny and the rest of the Dine team provided an exceptional service on our wedding day. They went above and beyond the planned agenda and the food was well presented and tasted wonderful. Many of our guests commented on how good the food was, all thanks to Dine!

I cannot express how amazing this venue is and how utterly perfect the Dine team are. From start to finish, everything is organised and executed to the utmost perfection.
Craig looked after us from the moment we booked all the way through to after our big day. He was fantastic. He directed everyone on the day itself and put our minds totally at ease. The team were so professional and lovely. They made us feel very well looked after as well as all of our guests.
Every one of our guests commented that our wedding was the best they had ever been to and for this we thank all of the team at Dine.
Howsham Hall is a beautiful little hidden gem. Our guests were completely stunned with each and every aspect of it. There was not a single room which disappointed. Having full use of the venue the night before the wedding was also wonderful.
We cannot wait to return for an afternoon tea or to stay again in the future.
I honestly, from the bottom of my heart, cannot thank the team at Dine enough for making our day truly perfect.
The most beautiful place, the most wonderful team, and the most incredible service.
Thank you.

My wife and I got married a few months ago and we used Dine’s services for our wedding. The venue was stunning, the pre wedding customer service provided by Craig Squelch was nothing short of outstanding. He is incredibly thorough, experienced and understanding, he made the experience what it was. All the staff on the day were also amazing, and the food was served to an extremely high standard. Thanks again Craig and all the Dine staff! Edward and Heather Howey

We recently used Dine for our wedding and they were amazing from start to finish, really great communication during the planning stage and faultless service on the day- they handled everything and made the day run smoothly. We have had so many compliments from our guests on how great the food and service was and how friendly everyone was too.

My wife and I got married on 28th June 2024 and our wedding reception took place in Sefton Park Palm House.

Throughout the planning process, my wife had been in regular contact with Jenny Atkinson (Head of Events). Nothing was too much for Jenny. From start to finish, she answered all of my wife's questions and queries promptly. Whatever she asked for, Jenny ensured it could be arranged. She was so helpful and friendly. We met for a coffee a couple of months before the big day where we discussed some of the finer details. Jenny ensured that most of the stress was taken from us and made the whole process so much more enjoyable and relaxed.

On the day, the Palm House looked spectacular. All of my wife's little additions were situated in the places she had asked. The whole place looked phenomenal and we knew this was thanks to Jenny and the Dine team. The tables were all set up perfectly and exactly how my wife had asked. The staff were incredible, tending to everyone's needs and really did provide service with a smile. Our families were so impressed with the lengths the staff had gone to in ensuring that the day ran so smoothly. The food was beautiful and we had so many positive comments about the menu choices. Our vegan guest was also grateful for her vegan option!

We honestly cannot thank Jenny and the Dine Team enough for their hard work and efforts on the day and to Jenny for the care, time, energy and dedication she had to our wedding from the first moment she spoke with Liv. Thank you so much.

We recommend Dine to anyone and everyone. If you want a magical wedding day- Dine will ensure it is magical!
