Our wedding day. 04/07/25.

We had the pleasure of meeting Adam and Jade a couple weeks prior to our wedding day. Instantly, these two made us feel completely at ease and relaxed about our big day. With your wedding day approaching, there is so much anxiety and worry about how the day will go. Luckily, we had two incredibly professional, kind, funny and warming people to ensure us they would make sure our day went smoothly.

Our wedding day couldn't have gone better. The staff did everything possible to ensure we were enjoying ourselves and it was stress free. They were attentive, involved and completely focused on our vision. Not only was the service and food amazing, but the staff did above and beyond. They brought humour and love into the wedding from their side, which just optimised our love and happiness even more.

The venue itself left us and our guests speechless. We had 70 day guests, and 80 night. You'd expect the venue to feel a little crowded, but the space goes so far. We couldn't recommend the hotel du vin more. For anyone booking this as their wedding venue, you're in great hands. The rooms were exceptional. So much space for the bridal party, and delicious food with staff there 24/7. Once the music ended, we were also allowed to stay at the bar drinking until whenever we wanted. For your wedding day, this is all you could ask for and adds to the fun.

We don't have enough words to thank the staff at the hotel du vin in York, for making our day so incredibly special and unique. They saw our vision and completely transformed the hotel into everything we could have imagined. Not to mention, how punctual the staff were with turning the room around for the evening. Exceptional service all around.

We hope to see them all in the future,

With love,
The Rawcliffe's.

Perfect Dog Friendly unique wedding

I was recommended to visit the hotel du vin York by its sister hotel. We wanted somewhere that was dog friendly and could cater for a small group. We messaged the wedding coordinator that appeared friendly on emails and when we met her she was lovely and very helpful. We had 3 different wedding coordinators and each time when planning the wedding it changed it worried me but each one was lovely and they had handed over all our requests really well to the person taking over. This also meant we came to view the venue quite a few times which was nice.
We arrived the day before the wedding and met Adam and Yanshee who I cannot thank enough for how amazing they made our day. From the moment we got there they made us feel relaxed and welcome like they couldn’t do enough for us. All the staff were lovely bar staff, reception and waiters all made a big fuss of our dog and were always on hand to help for anything we needed. The day went by so fast and was perfect from start to finish. They set the room up perfectly how I envisioned. It was very very hot day and we had a homemade cake so they were brilliant storing it in the fridge until we wanted to cut it for a photo then put it back in until we was ready to eat it. We got to take so much home because they stored it in the fridge for us. The food was really nice and there was so much left over I wish I could have made a doggy bag full 😂. We made our own playlist on an iPad and with the help of Yanshee connected it through there speakers and everything played when we wanted it to. Adam came and got me the bride when it was time to walk down the aisle and everyone was so wonderful. The hotel is beautiful and bright and quirky inside. We had a very unconventional wedding and the staff fully understood everything we asked for. Even though it is an upper market place the staff are down to earth and not overly formal which is just what me and my husband wanted. Our suite was wonderful.
I wish I could do it all again.
Thanks to everyone at hotel du vin. I would recommend anyone wanting a smallish wedding in York to go there.

Hassle free event, professional staff and great service.

Great communication from the events team, everyone we dealt with acted proactively and professionally and were quick to respond to any quieres we had. Everyone was incredibly helpful and polite as we were looking to book an event plus a wedding room and also rooms for certain guests. The food choices were varied and tasted great. Any allergies were adhered to.
The hotel itself was incredible. The decor and mood of the room was nice and rustic which is what we wanted for a York based venue.

Some of the staff were so friendly that they were dancing with some of the kids at our reception and we got to know some of them by name over the weekend including the recitation team, the managers, the eating staff and the breakfast team. All in all a perfect stressless day.

A truly unforgettable experience that we will be forever grateful for.

We got married here last week and had the day of dreams, from the moment we checked in the night before right up until the day we checked out the staff could not do enough for us. The accommodation is stunning, the food was exceptional and the staff are the best people we could have ever asked for looking after us for such a special moment in our life. I felt sad to leave after the most magical couple of days and have already bugged my husband to book for us to come back again before Christmas! A special thanks to Scott for being like an extended family member looking after us, helping wherever he could and calming the nerves on the big day. Kate for being wonderful on our menu tasting visit and on our wedding day ensuring the day was seamless. Adam, for being so kind, calming, helpful and professional. Michelle in the bistro for being excellent with our daughter and couldn't do enough for us. Ben behind the bar and every other member of staff who was there whilst we were, you were all so wonderful! Our day was better than we could have ever imagined and if we had to do it all over again we would choose Hotel du Vin, York! From the bottom of our hearts we thank you all for being so amazing, so accommodating, so kind and professional. Best wishes and see you soon, Mr & Mrs Elder x

Our UK wedding do

We decided to host our UK do at Hotel Du Vin before we flew to Italy for our big wedding day.

The staff at Hotel Du Vin were excellent. Fern and Kate were amazing.

The hotel is absolutely stunning and spacious for our guests. The bedrooms were also delightful.

Our day was so special and we couldn’t have chosen a better venue.

Wedding 28.08.24.

The venue is absolutely gorgeous and we looked at this one venue in York and knew it was for us. The communication with everyone involved leading up to the day was great! So on the day there was no burning issues or concerns as they were all dealt with via emails, phone calls or in person.
For us personally we let the venue set u pur room for our wedding breakfast, it was absolutely stunning. Alot of care went into it and I can't say enough how gorgeous it was, to say they did it themselves.
We only had 9 people in total at our wedding and it was great they accommodated for such a small wedding.
From us arriving to us leaving, it was a thoroughly enjoyable and amazing experience. There wouldn't be anything that I would say they could improve on. They took care of everything and they did it wonderfully!

Hotel du Vin, York - Fern Thomas

The events team for Hotel du Vin were amazing. From the initial meeting with Fern, she looked after us and made sure she knew exactly what we wanted for our day. On the day, everything seemed effortless and at no point did we feel like anything was too much ask or hassle. Kate, one of the hotel managers, made sure the day ran smoothly and made sure that my husband and I had absolutely nothing to stress about. The wedding breakfast and evening buffet were both gorgeous and our guests have commented on how fab the food and service was! Our day was absolutely perfect and we couldn’t have asked for anything more, we were beyond happy from start to finish. We felt like Fern, Kate and all of the hotel staff put us first throughout the day and they were fabulous. Also, the bridal suite was to die for! Amazing from start to finish, thank you.

Amazing Venue for our June Wedding

We had our wedding at Hotel du Vin in York, and it was everything we hoped for and more! From start to finish, the staff were absolutely lovely, making all of us feel so welcome and special. Planning the day was a breeze—nothing was too much trouble, and every request I had was met with enthusiasm and flexibility.
The food was fantastic, with a great menu that catered to a range of tastes and budgets.
The hotel itself has such a unique aesthetic—intimate yet still with a sense of grandeur—which was exactly what we were after. Even with our smaller wedding, it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves, and I can imagine that the same sense of exclusivity would come through for larger weddings too.
It was also budget-friendly without feeling like we compromised on quality. I would absolutely recommend Hotel du Vin in York for a wedding or special event—it was a perfect venue for our day!

Our stunning wedding day

We had THE most perfect wedding at Hotel Du Vin in May 2024. Abi and Fern from the events team were so helpful right from our first meeting and incredibly patient with my (many!!!) questions throughout the planning process.

The venue itself is so beautiful and classy and the rooms are super versatile. The team went above and beyond to make sure we could plan our wedding just the way we wanted, for instance instead of cake we wanted to do tequila shots for all the guests which they were happy to facilitate.

On the morning of the wedding it was particularly warm and Kate made sure the bridal party stayed cool with fans, iced water and anything else we asked for! Whether giving us a pep talk before we walked down the aisle, coordinating us ready for the first dance or ensuring all allergies were catered to and the drinks were flowing, the team couldn’t have done enough for us.

The tables were set up just as I’d requested and the printed elements, post box and disco ball I’d provided were all set up perfectly.

I would thoroughly recommend Hotel Du Vin as a venue for your wedding.

Beautiful venue

We fell in love with this venue as soon as we saw it. Its a listed building with so much character. It has several rooms for ceremony and functions. It is suitable for 50 guests as fairly small. But due to bar area and other cosy rooms It doesn't feel small also there is outside area with seats and tables. Ideal for warm summer evenings. The staff and wedding planners were excellent so helpful. Everything was exactly as we wanted. Food is amazing too. We had a wonderful experience would definitely recommend.

Outstanding!

We honestly had the most amazing day. Walking into the event space was better than I imagined in my head. I was so impressed with the way the team used our items and created something amazing - and had such great judgement to not use it all, just what seemed right. The food was outstanding (even if I couldn't eat most of it due to a tight fitting dress!), the atmosphere, the wonderful and funny bar staff, the welcome, the drinks, the staff bigging me up when I was having photos on the stairs. From the start of it all; booking the Du Vin, to the end result, it felt relaxed and flawless, you always made me feel like everything was under control and I can't thank you enough. Outstanding!
