The best wedding and venue!

We have just returned home from our wedding weekend. By god was it the best wedding l've ever been to, even if it was my own.

We have been so well looked after by the team, I can honestly say they pulled out all the stops, made us feel like literal celebrities.

Claire and Jade made our wedding one to
remember, making sure every detail was executed to perfection.

Every department and team made sure we and our guests were looked after and felt that they genuinely cared.

I couldn't recommend this venue enough.
Again thank you so so so much.

Kind regards
Ryan & Ben

Perfect Day

My wife and I married on 22/08/2025, we chose the Malmaison York because this is where we had our first date, it felt right to go back there and remember how it all started. I can honestly say it was a brilliant decision, because the day of our wedding could not have been more perfect. After our initial meeting with Jade and Claire from the events team, they made sure that everything ran like clockwork, we passed on the details of all our suppliers such as the venue decorator, flower supplier, DJ, photographer etc and they contacted them all to help organise the day to take the pressure off us, all we had to do on the day was turn up and enjoy every moment, the venue looked amazing, the food was excellent, the staff were so friendly, polite and professional, it was a day we’ll never forget and being only a short walk from the museum gardens, bar walls and York minster mean that our photos have a beautiful back drop too. We stayed the night at the hotel too and the room was stunning, thank you to all the staff at Malmaison you really did give us the best wedding day we could have imagined.

The Best Day Ever!!!

We booked our wedding day with Malmaison in 2023 and the events team were so helpful from the get go.
Jade was consistent in answering all my questions in the lead up of the big day as well as scheduling meetings for us to have to discuss things further!
She organised us to have a wedding food tester which was lovely and the food was next level! Jade was also so professional in every meeting we had and was able to give us more guidance in our options!

A shout to the staff in Chez Mal as they were so polite and helpful too!

In the lead up to the day, Laura and the events team decorated the rooms lovely and I couldn’t of done it better myself! Nothing was too much of a bother for them and we are forever grateful!
The professionalism and organisation from everyone was the best and I can’t express to anyone enough how great they were!

The wedding breakfast food was amazing so a massive shout out to the chefs!
The waiters were also lovely and very polite!

The bar staff on day were friendly and great with us all!

Thankyou to Laura for hosting my wedding and making sure everything was done just as described!
We had the best day and wish we could do it all again!

Thankyou again!

Fantastic wedding venue

My partner and I held our wedding breakfast here in July 2024.
Everything about the day was faultless. The welcoming staff team, the food, drinks and everything we had asked for was provided without exception. We would highly recommend using this venue.

SORA - An Unforgettable Wedding Experience

From the very start, we knew we wanted elegance, and SORA absolutely delivered that for our wedding celebrations. Every detail was spot on, and it was truly everything and more.

The staff at SORA were outstanding. From the pre-wedding planning to the big day, they were attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure everything was flawless. The planning process itself was seamless and stress-free, thanks to their friendly approach and support to bring our vision to life.

On the day of our wedding, everything ran smoothly, and we were able to fully relax and enjoy the celebration. A huge thank you to the manager of SORA and our events planner, Jade, for their incredible planning. You made us feel so comfortable and confident from day one, and we trusted you completely.

The venue itself is breathtaking. The modern interiors were exactly what I was looking for, and the rooftop, with its stunning views, was the perfect spot for our golden hour photos.

The food was delicious and the group tapas menu for our guests went down a treat, especially the sushi which our guests couldn’t stop talking about.

SORA will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we cannot wait to return to dine at the restaurant and stay at the hotel to relive the memories of our perfect day.

Thank you again to everyone at SORA for making our wedding celebration extraordinary!

Perfect City Venue!

The Malmaison was the perfect venue for us! We wanted city chic vibes, minimalistic yet classy and the venue was everything we dreamed and more. The communication from the events team was 10/10 and we had 100% control in how we wanted our day to go. Everything ran so smoothly due to the team being so involved and the tiny details I hadn't even thought of, the venue had covered! (like a water station). Nothing was too much trouble and the staff on the day were immaculate. Every guest commented on the quality of the food and it was AMAZING! Everything cooked to perfection and the service was so on point with timings, no one had an empty place setting or glass all day.

The only negative (and its not a huge thing at all), but the B&B rate for the rooms didn't include a cooked breakfast on room service. Which after the busiest and most perfect day, all we wanted was a bacon sarnie! However on the plus side, the continental brekkie is huge and more than satisfying!

We would definitely recommend the Malmaison as a venue!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
