Cedar Court Hotel Huddersfield
Modern hotel at Ainley Top off the M62, between Huddersfield and Halifax, with suites for up to 350.
Cedar Court Hotel Huddersfield is a large modern hotel at Ainley Top, just off the M62 between Huddersfield and Halifax. It is licensed for civil ceremonies and civil partnerships, with three function suites, a courtyard garden and 114 bedrooms. It works well for big weddings, and for couples who want guests to arrive easily and stay overnight.
Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples
With suites ranging from around 100 to 350 guests, the hotel can match the room to your numbers rather than squeezing your plans into a fixed space. Packages come in clear tiers, and the hotel also works with outside caterers, which helps if you want a particular cuisine. Having the ceremony, meal, party and rooms in one building keeps the day simple for you and your guests.
Ceremonies
The Yorkshire Suite holds up to 350 guests for a ceremony, with high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and views out over the countryside. For a smaller wedding, the Ainley Suite suits up to 100. The courtyard garden is used for photographs and a drinks reception after the ceremony.
Receptions and food
The Yorkshire Suite seats up to 300 for an evening dinner and dance. The Evergreen Suite takes up to 250, with an adjoining conservatory bar and a private roof terrace. The head chef and kitchen team cook with Yorkshire produce where they can, and cater for allergies, intolerances and children. Packages range from a simple day with drinks, wedding breakfast and evening buffet to fuller options with a DJ, an after-party, ceremony styling and a private meal the night before.
Staying
There are 114 refurbished bedrooms, including family rooms and suites. The bridal suite has its own living and dining area and an en-suite with a walk-in shower, and an overnight stay in it is part of the packages.

The hotel sits at Ainley Top on Lindley Moor Road, beside junction 24 of the M62, roughly halfway between Leeds and Manchester. There are 300 parking spaces, free for event guests who register their cars on arrival. Huddersfield and Halifax stations are both a short taxi ride away.
