- RRob & Yujin06/04/2022Everything was very well organised Everything was very well organisedWe booked the York Pavilion Hotel for our wedding, staying the night before and after and having the ceremony, wedding breakfast and the reception at the hotel. Everything was very well organised and it made our experience very special. We stayed in the reception suite, which was a lovely room with a four-poster bed and plenty of space. The ceremony room was beautifully decorated and then we went into another room for the rest of the schedule. It was great to have everything easily accessible where the guests could chat and go into the garden. The food was delicious and the provided DJ was great. Hayley, who was the wedding organiser did a really great job of making sure everything ran smoothly and that we had everything we needed. We were very impressed with the hotel and will be returning again to stay in the lovely building and relive some of our memories.

- BBethany & James06/04/2022nothing was too much troublenothing was too much troubleWe got married here on the 20th November and couldn’t be happier with the experience from start to finish. I couldn’t speak more highly of the wedding coordinator Hayley, she was fantastic from start to finish, nothing was too much trouble and everything ran smoothly. We couldn’t thank her more. The hotel itself is beautiful, the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The outside of the hotel is stunning and naturally beautiful. The breakfast is well organised with booking times and staff on hand to get hot drinks. We had so many compliments on the wedding breakfast the food was top class and the service was amazing. The wedding rooms are beautiful the ceremony was held by the bay window in the John Barry room and the reception in the Sandy Richardson suite. Also the general manager that weekend (sorry wasn’t sure on his name) couldn’t of been more helpful, like Hayley he went out of his way to make our day perfect.We got married here on the 20th November and couldn’t be happier with the experience from start to finish.
