For people who want the grandeur of a church wedding but not a religious service, Bedern Hall is ideal. Elly was an absolute star. She made herself available to meet with us a few times in the months leading up to the wedding, including the day before. She is really chilled and that helped so much to alleviate the nerves!

- BBen and Ella03/02/2024A Truley wonderful dayA Truley wonderful dayIt's a spectacular old building hidden away in the heart of York. The staff are lovely and very helpful. Included in the price you get some floral arrangements to decorate the hall. The only thing about it that is slightly tricky is the hall opening hours are mean that it's difficult for anyone with 9-5 job to see it but the staff with work with you and make and appointment outside of they're usual hours.
