Wedding Reception Venue

The Old Rectory is the perfect wedding reception venue. It is a beautiful grade two listed stone building in Handsworth on the edge of Sheffield.

Tucked away in its own quiet grounds this former rectory could be out in the middle of the country side, yet conveniently for you and your guests it's actually only a short distance from the transport networks of the Motorway and the city centre too.

Lovely and safe venue

Steeped in history, The Old Rectory is certainly one of South Yorkshire's more unique wedding reception venues.

From the moment you pass under the stone arch of the old coach house, to the front of the fine old Georgian Rectory, which looks out across its own lawn and garden, you will know you have found your perfect wedding reception venue.

Over 40 years of experience

The Old Rectory has all you need in a wedding reception venue.

Greet your guests down the red carpet, through the French windows into the fine Georgian 'Bramley' lounge with its fabulous fire place.

Mingle with your guests over a glass of Bucks Fizz or Pimms in the large 'Ballifield' drawing room, bathed in light from the high shuttered windows.

Finally sitting down to eat in the spacious 'Main Hall' with your family and friends.

Later on the main hall becomes the perfect place for a disco or band, alongside our excellently stocked bar.

Formal & informal wedding receptions

The wedding reception venue can cater for an intimate setting for two, up to 'a bit of a do' for 200 guests.

Accommodating up to 140 guests for an elegant sit down meal.

For a more informal buffet, the venue can safely accommodate up to the maximum of 200 guests.

With a choice of fine old Georgian rooms, there is also plenty of choice for the more select gatherings.
