  Best day ever!!

  People always say not to worry about the detail as weddings never go exactly as you imagine... however that was not the case with our wedding!
  Our wedding at The Parsonage was absolute perfection, from the stay the night before all the way through to waking up the morning after.
  From the moment we booked the venue we had the best service from the wedding team.
  Questions were always answered quickly and promptly helping us feel at ease and as stress free as possible during planning. The wedding coordinator on the day was great and kept us to timings, making sure we fit all of our plans in to the day. We would 100% recommend The Parsonage as a wedding venue, without a doubt!!
  Thank you to the team!!

  Brilliant, wouldn't hesitate to recommend

  We had our wedding reception here in October after getting married at the nearby church.
  I cannot fault the parsonage at all, they could not have been more attentive on the day. All the guests had a great experience and we were made to feel totally at ease.
  Elaine ran our day faultlessly.
  All the waiting staff were brilliant.
  Nothing was too much trouble - for example we wanted extra bottles of prosecco with glasses being topped up, we also had a crisp wall that the staff set up prior to the evening do. Our suppliers were well fed and catered for.
  We had access the day before to start set up.

  Many of our guests chose to stay the night before and the night of the wedding, though some of the rooms are a little dated, many of them are absolutely huge and there's nothing wrong with them at all.
  
  The Parsonage also set up a section of the breakfast room the next morning for everyone who was at the wedding, which was a super extra touch.
  
  Honestly brilliant. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Parsonage as a venue.

  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!

  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! The Parsonage will always be very special to us. Thank you for everything 😊

  The perfect day without any hiccups

  There isn’t enough space in this box to explain how perfect our big day was and that is all down the the fabulous staff at the parsonage, from the minute we booked with Louise she was there every step of the way even though I just have driven her crazy with my constant emails. On the actual day of the wedding we had the lovley Elaine who took care of us and nothing was too much trouble. She took every bit of stress off my shoulders and I can’t thank them enough, if you’re thinking about booking this place for your wedding then definitely do it you won’t regret it. Every single one of our guests said it was the best wedding they had been too.
  Thanks again to all the team

  Brilliant Day Celebrating at the Parsonage

  We had the best day celebrating our wedding at the Parsonage.
  
  We had our ceremony at Escrick church and loved having a reception so close. Louise even surprised us with a bubbles at the church. Our guests were so relaxed not having to move far and the whole weekend ran very smoothly.
  
  Our canapés, meal and pizza were yummy and drinks were flowing. We loved also how the bar is in the same room as the dancefloor as everyone partied the night away.
  
  Thanks to Louise and the team who were really helpful all the way through, making the day and planning as stress free and fun as possible.

  Perfect day in a beautiful place

  Our day was amazing. Just perfect in every way. Samantha was fabulous with answering questions about our day, making additions and in accommodating dietary restrictions to make sure all our guests had a special day. She was in contact with suppliers we were using to ensure they had access to the venue the day before. The room was set up beautifully. Elaine (food and beverage manager) on the day was amazing. She was calm and did everything and more that we asked for. She made sure we were ok and all our guests. The bar and serving staff were friendly and professional.

The Parsonage is a beautiful setting and the grounds and rooms were perfect. Guests could enjoy the grounds and the sunshine as well as the lovely conservatory seated area and the well stocked bar was very accessible. I can't thank the team enough. We loved our day and all our guests did too. I would happily recommend all engaged couples to go and see them. They will make your day magical.

  The parsonage hotel and Spa

  Had our wedding here on the 4th of July 2024, absolutely stunning venue, amazing staff that catered to our every need, fabulous wedding coordinator Louise Bramley who made organising our wedding so easy and stress free. A special mention to the master of ceremonies Elaine who had the day running like clock work. As a bride and groom we could not have been made to feel any more special on our wonderful day. Thankyou to everyone.

  could not recommend York parsonage hotel and spa enough!!

  The best decision we made when organising our wedding was to have it at the parsonage hotel and spa. We visited many other venues but upon visiting the parsonage we immediately knew it was the venue for us. The wedding team communicated with us timely and compassionately right from enquiry until after the wedding. No question was a silly question, and nothing was too much to ask. The wedding team where there every step of the way throughout wedding planning to help guide and advise us.

The wedding team communicated with us timely and compassionately right from enquiry until after the wedding. No question was a silly question, and nothing was too much to ask. The wedding team where there every step of the way throughout wedding planning to help guide and advise us. We were able to reserve a large number of rooms for our wedding guests and the process made it very easy for them to call and pay for their room, wedding night stay for the bride and groom was a lovely extra included in the package price. I stayed in the bridal suit the night before the wedding but when I returned with my husband later on the staff had been and remade it all just perfect, with little added extras for the night of our wedding. I was worried the bridal suite was not going to be big enough for the bridal party to get ready on the day and so the wedding team arranged for the room next door to be reserved so we had use of that which was amazing. we choose a package for our day, the value for money was outstanding and took care of all the small details that can be difficult to organise. Arrival, reception and toast drinks were included but neither of us like either wine or beer, the wedding team arranged for us both to have the drinks of our choice instead and we were never without a drink. The wedding breakfast and evening buffet were also outstanding, all our guests commented on how lovely the food was. Thanks to the wedding team, absolutely nothing went wrong on our wedding day, they helped with everything from the music, down to moving tables to where I preferred them to be on for the evening do. They were on hand from start to finish and their support was very much appreciated. we hired a company to dress the venue and a band for the evening and all the staff at the parsonage were extremely accommodating helping them access all the areas where they needed to be. The grounds around the Parsonage are beautiful, we were lucky to have beautiful weather for our wedding day and so were able to make full use of the grounds for the day, many of our guests spent the entire evening sat outside and it made for beautiful back drops for our photos. Almost a year on and our guests still talk about how beautiful and lovely our wedding day was. It was like a real-life fairy tale just as I had always wanted, and that is mainly down to all the staff and the wedding team at the parsonage hotel and spa.

  The best wedding venue we could’ve wished for

  The staff at The Parsonage genuinely made sure our day was perfect - from the planning to the actual day. Nothing was too much trouble and our day ran smoothly. Louise and Katie answered our many questions and requests in the planning and were able to put an anxious bride at ease! The venue itself is beautiful and allows for some incredible photos in the grounds. Thank you all so much for helping to create our perfect day!

  Amazing special day

  We had the most wonderful day at the Parsonage for our wedding day.
  
  We got married in the August and visioned our wedding photos to be full of greenery from the gorgeous gardens. The pictures did not disappoint as the gardens were immaculate and so well maintained.
  
  The whole day ran smoothly with excellent service from all the staff involved.
  
  The food on our wedding day was gorgeous with loads of compliments from our guests.
  
  The parsonage will hold a special place in our hearts.
