A Wedding Day Full Of Joy!A Wedding Day Full Of Joy!
The entire experience, starting some 18 months earlier when we first visited The Parsonage, was simply brilliant! We met with Samantha initially and over a coffee we had a relaxed, but very informative discussion about all the options available to us. After being shown round literally everywhere, we went away feeling extremely positive and it was barely two weeks later that we decided to go ahead and book. We had numerous 'phone-calls and subsequent visits over the following months and nothing was ever too much trouble for Samantha to sort out. Occasionally it was Louise who stepped in if it was Samantha's day off ensuring that everything flowed smoothly. As it got nearer to the date, we also met Elaine who was to manage our Reception for us and once again, found her to be a consummate professional in her handling of all the various tradespeople involved - florists, wedding cake maker, photographer etc. On the day itself we had no worries, having complete faith in the wonderful team of people looking after us and our 85 guests! We were supported and guided very discreetly by Elaine throughout the whole afternoon - from the moment we arrived back from the church and saw all our guests enjoying their drinks in the sunshine on the garden terrace! We felt delighted and completely relaxed knowing everything was being handled so professionally. Elaine kept reappearing at certain moments to let us know how long it was to the next stage of the proceedings and ensured that her staff were always busy and close at hand for anything our guests might need. Everyone was looked after beautifully, from the numerous eighty-somethings to the guest with her new baby; it was all seamless. Everyone congratulated us later on the excellent quality of the menu and the faultless way so many guests were catered for and none were left waiting too long whilst others were being served. We didn't have the most expensive package but the Prosecco, food and wine were all excellent and there was enough to satisfy most appetites. The Crystal Room was the perfect venue - it looked so elegant in the sunshine, with light sparkling on the chandeliers and peoples' wine glasses. The atmosphere was so relaxed and joyful; everyone was chatting with the other people on their tables and there was so much laughter which is one of my abiding memories of the day. They enabled our photographer to move amongst the tables discreetly snapping guests and capturing timeless memories for us to treasure in the future. Our speeches were made to look very rehearsed (which they weren't) in the way things were announced and a microphone quickly passed to us. Then there was the cake cutting - again just delightful. The Evening Do followed suit - once again the staff were moving about efficiently setting things out, moving furniture, distributing glasses and looking after us all. Every stage of the whole event was so smooth and well managed, we were able to sit back and just enjoy it to the full :) We can't thank everyone at The Parsonage enough for making it such a fabulously memorable day!

Magic makers!Magic makers!
We can’t fault the Parsonage for helping our dream wedding day come to live from start to finish! We were instantly made to feel at home on our initial visit, and Louise was absolutely fantastic, answering all our questions (no matter how trivial!) and showing us everything we needed to see (including the bridal suite!). We made our decision there and then to book for our day! The team were so helpful and flexible with our requests, including extras to make our day even more special, like staying in the bridal suite complimentary the night before, allowing us extra food options and even letting us tailor the drinks package to suit all our guests! Communication was fantastic, especially for an overly anxious bride like myself! They were always on hand to answer queries, make changes to bookings and also to help with vendors/other enquiries! We had multiple meetings to finalise our day and options, and each time we were made to feel special, offered refreshments, allowed time to discuss options and make changes if needed. The day itself could not have run smoother! The venue was prepped to such a high standard, the team constantly came to check in on myself and my groom to make sure we had everything we needed to make the mornings run smooth! Louise did an amazing job during the ceremony with timings and keeping everyone relaxed, and they were amazing during the wedding breakfast keeping food/drinks flowing and ensuring a smooth transition from ceremony to breakfast. The staff moved all our decorations for us from one room to another so seamlessly and made everything look incredible without input! The DJ was phenomenal! We put together a playlist and he worked with that, adding his own twist, we couldn’t get people off the dance floor! He even extended out set by half an hour at the end because people were having so much fun! The next morning we came down to find all our decorations/extras packed away really neatly ready for us to take home, meaning we didn’t have to worry about doing it ourselves! They even set aside a section of he breakfast room so all the guests could eat together the following morning without feeling rushed. As a result of all their hard work, our day went even better than we could ever imagine, and we are still getting compliments from our guests at how amazing g the day was and the staff were! We cannot recommend the parsonage highly enough!! Thank you so much!We can’t fault the Parsonage for helping our dream wedding day come to live from start to finish!

Evening reception Evening reception
We had our evening wedding reception here in early July and it was brilliant. After getting married in the carribean I had a vision to bring that into our UK event for our family and friends that couldn’t make the ceremony. The team at the parsonage were amazing from start to finish. They were flexible allowing us to only book the evening event helping us create our carribean themed BBQ menu and having pina colada as our arrival drink. The space was brilliant, we had our steel drum band and arrival drinks in the garden along with the BBQ and then partied inside. Maybe different room allowed our older guests to enjoy some peace and quiet while others enjoyed the dance floor. The team at the parsonage were great helping us set up as I had a friend doing the wedding cake and dessert table and another doing flowers. We used think tank entertainment for the DJ and steel band and the parsonage were very accommodating. Our guests all said what a fantastic time they had. A lot stayed and some made use of the spa area before the wedding and to sober up the day after. I would highly recommend the parsonage the team are professional hard working and went above and beyond to make our day special.

A wedding to remember A wedding to remember
We had our wedding 26/07/2025 and it was amazing! From the very moment we woke to the moment we went to bed as Mr & Mrs there is not one thing that we would have changed. The staff were fantastic, Louise helping us finalise all our plans, Fiona and Sam coordinating the day everything was done to our every wish. Nothing was missed. We genuinely could not have wished for a better day. The ladies that helped, made our day what it was and we will be eternally grateful for everything. Our guest said it was one of the best weddings they’ve had the pleasure to attend and the guest that chose to spend the night in the hotel were extremely satisfied with their stays as were we. We would recommend hosting any special event here, you will not be disappointed. Once again, a huge thank you to everyone for all that you did to make it so amazing.

Amazing day from start to finishAmazing day from start to finish
We had our wedding at the parsonage in August and i just knew from going to view the venue it was the place I wanted to get married. Beautiful grounds and very friendly staff. From start to finish prior to the wedding and on the wedding day nothing was too much for them. Louise and Samantha looked after us so well and couldn’t ask for more. If you are looking to book here you will not regret it. We had our wedding at the parsonage in August and i just knew from going to view the venue it was the place I wanted to get married.

The best day! The best day!
we booked with the parsonage due to the location and with the parsonage being able to offer hotel rooms for guests! we booked the wedding approx 2 years in advance, the parsonage staff communicated well with us from the start to finish, I was amazed how easily everything was and how they went above any expections. They also communicated with any external companies regarding setting up and what time they should come. Myself and the hubby ended up staying at the parsonage for 3 nights due to being crazy and moving house 3 days before our wedding, this was booked last minute and the parsonage was amazing at doing this for us which took alot of the stress away. On the day, the wedding co ordinators kept me calm and stress free and made sure guests were happy! they also helped set up my DIY wedding, they blended in so well throughout the wedding. the staff was passionate about what they do, I cannot thank both of them enough they gave me and my husband the best day and if i could do it all over again, I would 100 percent return to the parsonage. we booked with the parsonage due to the location and with the parsonage being able to offer hotel rooms for guests! we booked the wedding approx 2 years in advance, the parsonage staff communicated well with us from the start to finish, I was amazed how easily everything was and how they went above any expections.

The Most AMAZING day of our life! The Most AMAZING day of our life!
Wow! Where do I begin! The Parsonage Hotel went above and beyond for our perfect day, from the day we booked our wedding with them to the day of our wedding! We stayed the night before our wedding with the majority of our guests so we could have the perfect wedding weekend and the staff couldn’t have been more amazing! The rooms were incredible and I got to stay in the bridal suite the night before which was more than perfect! The morning of our wedding came and everything was just right, Sammy came to me early in the morning and made sure everything was okay and I wasn’t panicking! She kept checking on me every so often to make sure me and the bridesmaids didn’t need anything! Elaine then came up and introduced herself and made us feel at ease with the whole day and how it was going to go! They was my shoulder to cry on before I walked down the aisle, getting me ready to marry my husband! The whole ceremony was perfect! Everyone of our guests complimented saying how it was the best wedding they had ever been to and the food was delicious too! Special shout out to Sammy, Elaine and Louise who was at the end of the phone or email if I had any worry or query about anything! They was there to reassure me and to make sure I felt happy! And trust me! Our wedding day will forever be the most perfect day of our lives and we have the Parsonage Hotel to thank for that! Appreciate you all! We will never forget you! 🤍Wow!

The perfect wedding! The perfect wedding!
We had our wedding here in September 2024 and we could not praise or recommend the Parsonage enough! We had a fantastic time and it sounds such a cliche but it really was the best day of our lives! In fact it was amazing from the Thursday when guests started to arrive to the Sunday morning after the wedding, everything went perfectly! From the point of enquiring and booking 18 months before our wedding, Louise was so helpful, flexible and accommodating. Despite the fact I’m sure she was managing many weddings she always made me feel like ours was the only one! How when I popped in she could just remember my details over others I’ll never know! She was excellent at answering my many questions and requests and made the whole process very stress free. Exactly what a bride wants 😊 I am not sure my parents believed us when we said we had limited jobs they could help with because the Parsonage had it covered! We were local but all our guests were travelling from elsewhere so they allowed us to reserve a very large number of rooms. Preempting the switchboard meltdown that happened the Sunday all invites went out, Louise had help keep aside rooms named for our bridal party and family to ensure they had one which was reassuring for me. We ended up taking up almost every room in the hotel! Most guests made a weekend of it, and loved being able to use the spa (some multiple times!) and being able to head into York. We largely took over the Fat Abbott pub the Friday night before the wedding too and Louise helped us reserve tables and pre order. The pub was also a fab option to have for the groom, groomsmen and many guests the morning of the wedding! I stayed in the bridal suite and it was gorgeously decorated. I was worried about feeling cold (we saw a 10 degree drop in temperature from the previous week!) but the bridal suit and rooms for the wedding were all perfect temperature and on the day the sun came out allowing us use of the gorgeous garden. The tables were laid out just as I wanted and Louise had suggested for the ceremony room we use one of our centre pieces rather than pay out for something else which was a great idea. On the day our MC Elaine was great, getting us to where we needed to be when, making it totally stress free for us and our bridal party (they could just enjoy the day). We, unexpectedly, had Louise there in the morning too which for me seemed special as she made this day happen. Her, Elaine and my bouncer bridesmaids worked great to keep me hidden as I headed out for a drive in the car with my dad as guest were arriving! They just accommodated and made work everything we wanted. Having the two rooms and garden for the reception was perfect for us and our guests, with many guests commenting on how lovely the hotel and setting was as well as how tasty the wedding food was. We used the DJ that came as part of the package and having shared a sample of songs he did a fantastic job and our dance floor was full all night! They all helped keep our fireworks a surprise and get our guests outside for them. The staff were polite, helpful and friendly and one of the waiting staff even commented at breakfast the next day how beautiful my dress was! Our communication post wedding has been just as great, and when we returned to an evening event at the Parsonage after the wedding the staff remembered us and asked how our honeymoon etc was. We loved every minute of our day and can’t thank the team enough, their personal touch and the attention given to you truly makes you feel so special and we’d love to do it all over again and wouldn’t change a thing!
