Stunning venue and exceptional customer service

We wanted to have our wedding at a venue full of history and character and we fell in love with the Merchant Adventurers' Hall in York as soon as we saw it. We couldn't believe that having our wedding at this beautiful old building in the heart of York was so affordable. The Merchant Adventurers' Hall has 2 spacious halls (one upstairs and one downstairs) where we had our wedding breakfast and our evening party. We were also lucky with the weather and had our photos and canapes in their huge private garden. Many of our guests complimented our choice of venue and said it's stunning. However, we are even more impressed with the Merchant Adventurers' Hall team. They offered us an exceptional service from the first visit to the day after the wedding when we went to collect a couple of boxes with decoration. The team was super helpful and flexible. They gave us a friendly advice, responded swiftly to all our queries, did their best to meet our requests and made sure that all on our wedding day is running smoothly. We really can’t thank them enough for making our special day so magical.
