About

Burtonfields Hall is located 15 minutes from the centre of York. This beautiful family run estate is situated in acres of glorious parkland offering views up to the Yorkshire wolds. Burtonfields is and always will be an exclusive use venue meaning its beautifully decorated interior and perfectly manicured outdoor spaces are all at your disposal, enabling you to host the wedding of your dreams.

Origionally the home of the Bush family, Burtonfields has been recently renovated to become a wedding and events venue. As the house was designed for entertaining it made perfect sense to open the doors to the public so they could hold the most special events at the Hall.With a fantastically intimate feel, guests will be enamoured by the charm of Burtonfields as although grand, everyone always feels at home and that is exactly what we want!

Facilities and Capacity

Licensed for ceremonies of up to 120 in the magnificent Arts and Crafts billiard room or in the sumptuous gardens the attention to detail throughout the property is second to none. After a gorgeuous ceremony guests make their way to the south facing terrace or to the beautifully adorned reception rooms for post-ceremony drinks. If dining up to 76, the billiard room is transformed into the most irresistable banquet hall and if dining between 76 and 120 a marquee will have been set up on the lawn a couple of days before. Once the feast is finished the billard room is opened up so you can dance the night away!

Services Offered

Wholeheartedly a family business William Bush, the current owner, prides himself on being on hand at all times from initial contact, to the planning process and all the way through to the coordination on the day of the wedding itself!

The perfect wedding venue

We had the best day ever having our wedding reception at Burtonfields Hall this August. It really is the perfect wedding venue!

From our first visit, we knew that no other venue compared. The house has recently been renovated to a really high standard. Burtonfields has done a brilliant job of blending the old and the new together, creating a truly unique, traditional and modern feel. The outside of the house and the surrounding grounds are equally as stunning.

Will, the owner, was also brilliant from our initial contact. Will was always on hand to answer all of our queries, provided us great guidance and helped the day run smoothly. As Burtonfields is Will’s family home, it made the whole experience feel really special and very unlike other commercial wedding hotel set ups.

All of our guests were so impressed with the venue and we really had the best weekend celebrating our wedding at Burtonfields Hall. Thank you so much for having us - we hope to come back one day! Sarah & Tim

Best wedding venue!!

We had the best weekend ever celebrating our wedding at Burtonfields Hall on 12.10.2024- it was an amazing day!

Will is fantastic and very helpful from our first meeting in August 2023, until the moment we left, ensuring everything went smoothly, and this was noted by all of our suppliers on the day.

Burtonfields is a beautiful venue inside & out and it is so special. We love how the venue is exclusive and becomes your home for the weekend.

All our guests have also shared how they loved the venue and for those who stayed over, they were so impressed with their individual & unique rooms.

We could not recommend Burtonfields Hall enough, I hope we get to return one day.

The Perfect Venue

Burtonfields Hall is such a unique and special wedding venue, offering the best of both worlds with grandeur and class as well as a homely, relaxed and personal feel. We fell in love with Burtonfields right from our first visit and knew it would be the perfect setting for our wedding. Will, the owner and wedding coordinator, was so helpful and supportive, getting to know us as a couple and what was important to us for our celebration, kindly hosting us for multiple visits before our big day and always just an email or a phonecall away in the run-up to the wedding.

We chose to have a full weekend celebration and were made to feel so at home throughout. The 9 bedrooms are all unique but equally beautiful, with every little detail thought of. The Bridal Suite is the most stunning setting for a special wedding morning, spacious and comfortable, flooded with natural light, and elegantly decorated to provide the perfect backdrop for photographs. As well as the many beautiful indoor spaces for guests to break off into, outdoors we had garden games on the lawn, live music on the patio, numerous options for beautiful photo backdrops in the pristinely kept gardens, and a marquee for a picnic-style lunch and speeches, for which Will sourced tables especially to fit the relaxed feel we wanted. The multitude of spaces at Burtonfields means there is a comfortable place for everyone, yet guests are never too far from one another.

Will and the team were always on hand for anything we needed and made sure everything ran seamlessly. We are so grateful for the time and attention to detail they gave to every element of the weekend, whilst making everything feel so relaxed and laid back.

Thank you Will, Kieran, and the rest of the team at Burtonfields for the most magical wedding celebration we could have imagined. Finding a beautiful venue is one thing, but having such wonderful people there to actually make it happen is another, and we are so grateful to the Burtonfields team for doing this for us.

Some of our guests have commented that it was the best wedding they have ever been to....and we completely agree!

We just got married at Burtonfields Hall and it was literally the best day of our lives! This venue is beyond perfect. We had it all to ourselves it from Friday until Sunday with our immediate families staying with us in the stunning bedrooms. Everything has been lovingly refurbished by the owners to a 5 star standard. Our ceremony took place in the Billiard Room on the Saturday afternoon with 90 guests and lead on to a drinks reception on the picturesque terrace with a pianist, exquisite dining, a magician, a ceilidh band and disco dancing into the night! We honestly could not have wished for a better day. We had looked at a few other venues and they all felt a bit tired and ‘hotel-ly’, like wedding conveyor belts. Burtonfields became our home for the weekend, having free rein to spend quality time with our loved ones in a relaxed and beautiful setting.
Will the owner was completely brilliant from the day we booked a year ago to the big day itself, he helped guide us on our wedding planning journey and seemed just as excited as we were about it! Some of our guests have commented that it was the best wedding they have ever been to....and we completely agree!

Perfect from start to finish

My husband and I got married at Burtonfields Hall (BH) and had a truly fantastic day. After struggling to find a suitable venue we came across BH and felt it was very good value. It's also extremely welcoming on a personal level, especially when compared with other venues, many of which appear to be 'wedding factories'. The owner, Will, was on hand from the start. We live in the South so we did a lot of the planning via email/phone. Will's communication is quick and thorough so there was never any waiting or worrying. No matter how large or small the query he was quick to get back to us, even after the wedding when we had a few things to follow up. On the day Will worked extremely hard to ensure the day went as planned - his attention to detail is impeccable. We felt relaxed knowing we were in safe and caring hands.
The venue itself is designed and decorated to a very high standard. The rooms are beautiful. Everything has been thought of - from a music system that plays in all downstairs rooms to perfect lighting, fantastic kitchen space for both caterers and guests, gorgeous toiletries, beautiful planting - I can't fault any of it. It is clear that the BH team have high standards and care deeply about their venue and the experience of their guests.
We wanted a relaxed day and as soon as I walked in on the morning of our wedding I felt that way. Getting ready with my friends and family in the Bridal Suite was a memory I'll never forget. Everyone floated around the house, using the facilities as if they were our own. This relaxed homely feel meant everyone was calm and just so happy.
We said 'I do' in the Billiard Room, Will gave us choices and made suggestions on how we might like it laid out and steered us away from some bad choices. His experience shone through. The room looked amazing and was such an intimate place to share our ceremony with those close to us.
Initially I was worried about having to choose a caterer that the venue approved of, however, this meant we ended up with someone very special. Their relationship with Will and his team at BH was well established and meant everything ran smoothly. Dom's Kitchen prepared a fully vegetarian/vegan buffet and street food for us. No-one missed the meat and we had so many compliments on the spread.
The outside grounds made the perfect setting for photos, crochet, drinks and conversation throughout the day and night. The kids quickly made the grass lawn their place, playing happily whilst the adults chatted.
If you're looking for a homely, welcoming venue which is beautiful inside and out then I would highly recommend Burtonfields Hall. Will will look after you from start to finish. We can't thank him enough.

Perfect wedding venue!

We had an amazing wedding weekend at Burtonfields Hall in August.

When we first visited we knew straight away it was where we wanted to get married. The venue is beautiful, and has a personal touch that we had not found to the same extent elsewhere.

The house itself is stunning; the rooms are all unique and of a high standard. Our wedding party were very comfortable during the stay. We were fortunate enough to have good weather on the day and we had a fabulous drinks reception on the lawn, surrounded by Yorkshire Wolds countryside (and sheep) which was really special. The marquee helped us fulfil our vision of a garden party wedding.

Will, the venue owner, is a fantastic host. He was highly responsive and aided us with lots of small details, which was invaluable in the planning process. His team were very helpful and accommodating throughout. They had everything in hand allowing us to relax and enjoy the weekend.

We cannot recommend Burtonfields enough. It really is the perfect place for a party and we wish we could go back!

The wedding venue of dreams!

From the moment we walked into Burtonfields, we knew this was where we wanted to get married. We drove past on our way home from getting engaged and within an hour, we were walking around with our new favourite person, Will. Will's enthusiasm for his family home and new business venture was infectious, and if we're totally honest, he is one of the reasons we couldn't wait to get married here. The interior is beautiful, classic and sympathetic to the house, but doesn't feel remotely "old fashioned", any fan of William Morris will be instantly obsessed. Every single bedroom is outstanding, nobody will feel like they've been short changed here.
We got married in May 2024 and we couldn't have asked for a better day - the sun shone (after a lot of rain) and everything went seamlessly, which was all thanks to Will, Kieran and the BH team.
The emphasis from the team to use the house as your own home makes everything feel so relaxed and it does feel like your own piece of house heaven for a few days. It's big enough to accommodate a wedding easily, but it feels cosy, caring - not too big the night before, when you want a bath in the bridal suite, or want to pop down for a cuppa, when all is quiet for your last few hours before the wedding morning begins. The gardens are a sanctuary and a GIFT for photos. Every single guest commented on how beautiful BH was, inside, outside and what a great energy the house had. It has so much flexibility for a wedding day, little rooms for people to have a quiet moment, space for a big farewell breakfast in the morning - and a bar to die for.
When we drove away the day after our wedding, we genuinely felt a little sad we most likely wouldn't be there again - or see Will again - (yes, we love him) at least not until we have an excuse to throw a massive party.
It's a house that is perfect in every season, for every wedding, for every couple and we could not recommend it highly enough.

Incredible wedding weekend!

We got married here at the start of September and it was the best weekend we’ve ever had.

As soon as we visited the venue and met Will we felt so comfortable and knew that he would make it an incredible weekend - we weren’t wrong! Will is so friendly, honest, efficient and caring. He has very high standards to make sure your wedding is nothing short of perfect.

The venue is stunning, guests loved their bedrooms and the whole property is maintained to such a high standard. There is so much space to enjoy and it was nice for people to be able to wander around and make use of the gardens for outdoor games, as well as the various indoor spaces.

The wedding itself ran so smoothly and everything was taken care of. Nothing was too much trouble either on the day or in the months of planning beforehand.

We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or team to work with.

Perfect venue!

Burtonfields is a beautiful house, perfect location for our wedding. Will and his staff were very pleasant and helpful throughout the planning and on the day itself.
Our guests all had a lovely time, there was something for everyone with the library and sitting rooms, as well as the larger billiard room and terrace. We had fabulous weather so we able to spend time in the gardens as well as inside. Having the house for the whole weekend meant we could relax the night before and spend some time with our guests again the day after the wedding.

An absolutely incredible wedding venue

We got married at Burtonfields Hall a few weeks ago, and I genuinely can’t believe we had the privilege. It is the most beautiful wedding venue I have ever seen, but also somehow provided a cosy home from home on the Friday night and Sunday morning. Will was really helpful throughout the planning process, giving practical advice and responding to all our queries. The Burtonfields team were brilliant on the day, everything went smoothly with them sorting everything behind the scenes. Thank you Will for ensuring we had an incredible day! Wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend Burtonfields as a wedding venue!

A fabulous wedding venue

We had the most amazing wedding at Burtonfields Hall. From our first visit we immediately both knew it was the wedding venue for us. Burtonfields hall is a beautiful venue inside and out with wonderful gardens and it didn’t have any of that commercial hotel feel that put us off other venues, it felt like an intimate personal sort of venue, that suited well to our wedding with around 50 guests, although they can accommodate more. The owner Will was friendly and laid back and put us both at ease, was helpful through the process and answered our questions, and was happy to accommodate a couple of additional visits with our parents prior to the day. On the day itself, we were lucky to have beautiful sunny June weather, everything was well organised and went smoothly. The caterers Doms Kitchen who were recommended by Burtonfields Hall, catered a fully vegan menu for us and we had lots of compliments from guests on the high quality of the food. The rooms we stayed in were very spacious and luxurious. We couldn’t have chosen a better venue and would highly recommend for your wedding.

Dom and Hannah


Two weeks after our wedding at Burtonfields Hall and it’s safe to say…we’re still on cloud 9. What a venue!

It is so beautiful throughout and the grounds are just immaculate. It provided the perfect backdrop for our wedding and having the room for friends and family to stay over the night before and the night of made it all the more special.

Everywhere you look is just stunning.
From the intricate wallpaper, beautiful bathrooms, antique furniture to the grand fireplaces…no detail has been forgotten about.

We particularly loved having our wedding breakfast in the marquee. The fairy lights and outlook onto the Hall’s grounds gave it such an intimate, cosy feel.

Will the co-ordinator is also fantastic! From our first viewing at Burtonfields Hall to the Sunday following our wedding day, his humour and friendliness kept us relaxed (and sane!) throughout. Every email and last minute panic was responded to promptly and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better to help us navigate the wedding planning process.

In addition to Will, all of the background staff at Burtonfields Hall were so lovely. Nothing was ever too much trouble and they helped to make the day run like clockwork (well oiled machine springs to mind!) You could tell they were genuinely so happy and excited for us to be there on our wedding weekend.

As everyone says…we just wish we could do it all again now!

Exceptional wedding venue

Burtonfields Hall is an amazing venue to choose for your wedding. The house itself has so much character, and Will really goes above and beyond to make you feel as though it’s your house for the duration of the wedding. From before we booked our wedding, Will was always on hand to answer any queries or concerns we had, and this was consistent right up until the end of our wedding weekend. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and we knew exactly what was going to / needed to happen for all the finer details of the wedding. Will was also a very calming presence, especially on the morning of the wedding. Ensuring everything ran to time, making sure everyone knew where they needed to be, nothing felt like it would be missed. The rest of the staff at Burtonfields Hall on the day of the wedding were tremendous, and we can’t speak highly enough of them. They were attentive and always happy to help, with the bar staff always being on hand to help bring the party. The way the staff all interacted with other suppliers, such as the caterers demonstrated their professionalism, and helped ensure the day ran smoothly.
The rooms at Burtonfields Hall are absolutely gorgeous. The thought that has gone into decorating them all, each with their own unique style and decoration is so special. All our guests have commented on the rooms, both in terms of comfort and space, but also how relaxed they felt in the rooms because of this and the decoration.
All in all, we honestly couldn’t recommend Burtonfields Hall enough for a wedding.

Burtonfields Hall - perfection

It’s difficult to know where to start writing a review for Burtonfields Hall as a wedding venue. Everything about it is perfect. The venue itself is just breathtakingly beautiful and unforgettable for wedding party and guests alike. The level of detail in the stunning rooms plus the brilliance of Will (the owner) as a wedding coordinator could not be matched anywhere else I’m sure. Initially my daughter’s wedding was booked for summer, including the marquee but we changed the date for early December. I’m sure for a summer wedding it would be perfect, but also as a winter wedding, with roaring fires and Xmas trees it was incredibly atmospheric and intimate. The 9 guest rooms are all beautifully appointed and enabled us to just relax for the whole weekend. Will’s energy and organisational skills and ability to make everything appear seamless made the wedding day just perfect from start to finish. I would highly recommend Burtonfields Hall as a wedding venue and would give 10 stars if it was an option.

Wonderful!

We originally viewed Burtonfields as a possible venue for our wedding in January 2023, greeted by Will with tea in front of one of many open fires in the house. For us, what could have been a difficult decision as to where to hold our wedding was made straightforward on visiting Burtonfields, where not only is the house breathtakingly beautiful but proprietor Will’s warmth and calm manner assured us we were to be in safe hands. We duly booked and months later, enjoyed a perfect May wedding day at Burtonfields. The house allows you to relax in opulent but not overbearing surroundings, the beautiful gardens mirroring the high level of personal care and detail that the Bush family have invested into the refurbishment of Burtonfields, where every room from reception hall to the bedrooms have been thoughtfully restored. Through the staff at Burtonfields, the décor, its provisions and characterful setting, it instils warmth and relaxation, where our day was made all the more special by how guests of all ages enjoyed the venue standalone to the wedding itself. Indeed, our photographs did not need staging, with the house and gardens providing the perfect backdrop to both professional and guest photos, capturing friends and family happy and content. We are fortunate to have chosen Burtonfields for our wedding. Will and his staff provided calm direction, guidance and assurance in the months leading up to the wedding and through the day itself – we can only but extend our sincere thanks and appreciation and would encourage others to visit Burtonfields – it is unique. We are now finding reasons to plan a return with friends and family to make use of the house again!
