The absolute best wedding venue & team!

We recently had our wedding at Hotel Du Vin York, having exclusive hire of the whole hotel and bedrooms for the event. From the first time we viewed the hotel all the way until after our marriage, the team were absolutely excellent. The whole team involved - Claire, Adam, Scott, Yantshi, Rowan, Michelle, Ben, Sam, Christina, Faye and many others - were all truly invested in making the weekend special for us and our guests. They were consistently flexible and accommodating, had fantastic ideas, and really helped turn the weekend into something better than we could ever have imagined. The hotel itself is beautiful, classy and very stylish. The food is excellent, and the bedrooms are amazing. It is right in the centre of York too meaning our guests could explore the city easily. If we could have our wedding again, it would definitely be at Hotel Du Vin York.
Thank you very much Claire, Adam and the whole team!

Our perfect day

Claire, Scott and the entire team couldn't do enough for us on our big day.
We had originally booked to get married in September 2026, but my partner was diagnosed with a terminal illness in July 2026. We decided to try and bring the wedding forward, and between us we pulled it together in just over 2 weeks.
We truly had a day to remember and we were so grateful that the team could facilitate the changes so smoothly.
Food & wine were delicious, the room was decorated beautifully and the staff who served the wedding breakfast were so attentive & genuinely lovely.
We stayed in a fabulous suite, and that really was the cherry on top of a really delicious cake!
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Hotel, and let Claire and her exceptional team look after you ❤️

Amazing wedding venue & team :)

We cannot recommend the Hotel du Vin in York highly enough! It was the perfect venue for our small, intimate wedding. Everything was exceptional from the beautiful courtyard with opening roof, delicious afternoon tea to the unique luxurious bedrooms.

Nothing was too much trouble for the fabulous wedding team of Claire, Adam, Scott and Hannah - including accommodating my Lego bouquets and buttonholes! It all went seamlessly thanks to two planning meetings and great communication by email too. We felt in safe, capable hands the whole time and would like to thank all the staff for making it such a special, happy day.

If you are looking for a wedding venue in the centre of York, look no further. We will be back for an anniversary trip!

What a wedding!!

Hotel du Vin, what can I say. The team lead by Claire, Adam and Scott were amazing. The day was seamless. All the staff were attentive, from Dave the Waiter, who had emergency kits and safety pins. The bar team, who knew their cocktails. The food was delicious.
The timing of the music and guide round the venue. We used the tasting room, the staircase and outside for photos. The roof in the courtyard room was open for the ceremony. The Bistro for the wedding breakfast and party.
Every details was on the event sheet and all bespoke items perfectly placed. What a celebration, every happy emotion possible through out the day. So very special. Thank you team Hotel du Vin

Perfect intimate wedding

We cannot recommend Hotel du Vin York highly enough. From the moment we booked our wedding until the moment we left as husband and wife, the whole experience was exceptional.

A huge thank you to Abbie, who guided us through every stage of the planning process. She was always on hand to answer questions, offer advice and make sure every little detail was taken care of. She made everything feel effortless, and we knew we were in safe hands throughout.

On the day itself, everything ran perfectly. Adam, Scott and Rowan were absolutely outstanding. They were warm, professional, attentive and worked so hard behind the scenes to ensure everything went without a hitch. Their calm, friendly approach meant we could simply relax and enjoy every moment with our family.

The venue itself is beautiful and was the perfect setting for our intimate wedding. The food was incredible, the service was impeccable, and every one of our guests commented on how wonderful the day had been.

Choosing Hotel du Vin York was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Thank you to every member of the team for helping create memories we’ll treasure forever. If you’re considering getting married here, don’t hesitate – you’ll be in the very best of hands

Ellie and Harvey

Claire and Adam, what a dream wedding events team. I couldn’t not recommend them both enough. The communication from Claire was a real calming force and everything I asked for, was made to happen. A dream day, most brides had planned from being a little girl. Both Claire and Adam made possible. Every part of my day I had planned out with Claire, nothing was too much of an ask. The hotel itself, has a touch of class but also a quirky side too. And this is what we loved. My doggy was allowed to make an appearance which was lovely and towards the end of the wedding weekend, the staff felt like Family. Everything I asked for happened, my wedding favours were placed perfectly how I wanted and the decorations I provided was everything I could’ve dreamt of and more.

I cannot rate this venue highly enough and that is mainly down to the wonderful team. Claire, Adam, Scott and their colleagues were just amazing. We had very definite ideas when it came to our wedding and they dealt with this in such a friendly, professional way even when it was difficult to achieve! They could not have been more patient and their hard work made our day unbelievably special and we would not have changed a thing. The food & wine were fabulous and the hotel is such a beautiful, intimate setting. We look forward to seeing everyone again on our 1st anniversary, although I'm sure we will be back before then! Thank you Hotel Du Vin for an unforgettable day.

Fabulous intimate wedding

I work in the wedding industry as a performer and have attended countless weddings over the last 15 years, so when it came to my own, I knew exactly what I wanted. Which was a small wedding, good food, great wine and no fuss!

I received all this, and more at Hotel Du Vin. The staff were all excellent, a real personal touch to the day and they couldn't do enough for us. They made the whole process so easy and slick and the day went by without any issues at all.

Having our dog with us on the day was the icing on the cake. She was well fed with sausages and made friends with the other gorgeous dogs that were staying in the hotel.

We cannot wait to come back for our anniversary and relive the day.

Thank you to all the team!

An Elegant, International & Cosy Wedding Venue

Really, all of the staff were fantastic. Abbie, Scott, Yasi, and the rest of the team were absolutely amazing and helped make our day even more special. The quality of the food was outstanding, and all of our guests were extremely impressed. The arancini and the beef were simply superb.
I genuinely cannot find a single fault. Throughout the entire process, everyone treated us with kindness, professionalism, patience, and flexibility. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and we are incredibly grateful for everything they did to make our wedding so memorable.
The venue itself is elegant and beautiful, providing the perfect setting for a special occasion. We truly can't thank the team enough and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an exceptional venue and service.

A Truly Perfect Wedding Celebration at Hotel du Vin

We recently held our wedding celebration at Hotel du Vin, and it truly exceeded every expectation. From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless and beautifully organised, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy such a special occasion.

The food was absolutely incredible, every dish was delicious, our guests loved it. What really stood out, though, was the staff. They were genuinely kind, attentive, and went above and beyond at every opportunity. Nothing was too much trouble, and their warmth made the day feel even more special.

The venue itself is stunning, creating the perfect atmosphere for our celebration. Everything ran effortlessly, and it all came together in a way that felt completely perfect.

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate such an important moment in our lives. Thank you to the entire team for making it so unforgettable.

An autumnal wedding day in October!

We planned our wedding in just seven weeks, and Hotel Du Vin turned out to be the perfect location for our autumnal wedding reception. The venue was ideal for our 60 guests (plus a few children), offering just the right balance of intimacy and comfort — it can easily accommodate up to 70.
The food was absolutely fantastic; so many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed their meals. Although it’s a hotel, the team were really flexible with how we could use the different spaces throughout the day, which made everything feel very personal and unique to us.
We also had several guests travelling from afar, and it was a huge help that we could offer a discount on a number of hotel rooms.
A special mention must go to Adam and Michelle, who were incredible from start to finish. They made sure everything ran smoothly, and their calm, friendly approach meant we could just relax and enjoy every moment. We’re so grateful to them and the entire Hotel Du Vin team for helping us create such a wonderful day.

Our perfect wedding!

As soon as we looked around Hotel Du Vin, we knew it was the perfect venue for our Autumn wedding. It has such a warm, cosy feel and we knew this was exactly what we were looking for. And then the wedding day itself completely exceeded our expectations further. The day ran so smoothly start to finish thanks to the incredible staff at Hotel Du Vin. All the staff were so friendly, attentive and genuinely cared about making our day so special. Adam and Scott in particular on the day were amazing, as well as many others. We felt so reassured that our guests and ourselves were well looked after throughout the day.
The food was incredible and the chefs were so accommodating allowing us to change canapé options which we really appreciated. All our guests were so impressed with the food and it was nice to have options too.
Our evening reception was definitely a highlight of our day. The bistro area of the hotel was transformed in to an incredible party space to accommodate for our 70 guests. It was a night to remember! We are so grateful for the team at Hotel Du Vin for helping to make our day so special.

Incredible!

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better wedding venue or a more supportive team. From our very first visit, we felt completely at ease and in safe hands.

A huge thank you to Jade, our wedding coordinator, who was simply amazing from start to finish. She was always quick to respond, incredibly organised, and genuinely cared about making our day perfect. No question was ever too small, and she guided us through every detail with patience and calm.

On the day itself, Adam and Scott were absolute stars. They kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes so we didn’t have to think about a thing. Both were friendly, professional, and totally on top of every detail—we knew we could just relax and enjoy ourselves, and that’s exactly what we did.

The whole team made us feel so looked after, and we’ve had so many compliments from guests about the venue and how seamless the day felt. It really was the best day of our lives, and we’re so grateful to everyone who helped make it happen.

If you're looking for a venue with a brilliant team who genuinely care about your day, we couldn't recommend this place more highly.
