The Hospitium is licensed for wedding ceremonies and we work closely with staff at York Register Office to ensure your wedding runs like a dream. Our dedicated team will help you to make your special day a joyful and memorable one.
The ground floor is ideal for your wedding ceremony and can be quickly converted to an open area for a drinks reception after the formalities are completed. Its medieval stone walls and latticed windows give it a historic, traditional air and offer a "blank canvas" for your choice of floral arrangements.
During the warmer months, many couples choose to hold their post-ceremony drinks reception outside on our paved area. This private area looks out over the Museum Gardens and helps create a lovely summer garden party atmosphere.
The first floor, with its high ceiling and half-timbered walls, provides a stunning dining room for your wedding breakfast. We can host seated dinners for up to 130 guests and drinks/buffet receptions for up to 150 guests.
To round off the evening, the ground floor can again be converted into a space for music, dancing and parties!

Hello from Jessica and Penny, the sales supervisors working with the Hospitium.
Please reach out to us with any questions - we would be happy to book you in for a visit, either in person or via video call.
All the best with your wedding plans!
We recommend parking on Marygate or in the car park when visiting our venue. Access to the public is daily 9am-6pm, but on the day of your event a dedicated security team will look after the gardens for your private hire after 6pm.
