hello! welcome to the site! and congratulations! sorry i cannot help you in terms of having a wedding in york as i also haven't found my venue yet! but am looking at some places in and around york.

i would suggest doing a search for wedding fayres and open evenings and seeing as many venues as possbile. thats what we are currently doing! good luck! x

I know my diarys full of them! We visitted a place at weekend that we really liked called The Parsonage which is definately our favourite so far, got some more viewings booked at other places though to be sure!
Thanks, good luck to you aswell!!

the parsonage is on our list to look at too! we have looked at simonstones hall, crathorne hall, headlam hall, walworth castle, blackwell grange hotel. all our sundays over the next two months are full of wedding open days and fayres! here are some that you may or may not have thought about (hope i am allowed to put them on here!):

i live in york, (getting married abroad though). as for venues, my sister had her reception in the hilton, it was lovley. there is merchant taylor's hall, and merchant adventurers hall, they're both gorgeous places, and they have beautiful grounds. there is hazlewood castle which is just up the motorway a bit- thats stunning! and then there are all the big hotels that are always having weddings like the marriot, monkbar hotel and the royal york hotel. or the racecourse? sooooo agree with rach about brides of york, my sister got her dress from there, and they were so lovley! i found my dream dress in pronuptia on micklegate so i never made it to brides of york! ill rack my brains about some other useful stuff! x
