Anya Sent on 30/10/2025The most magical day in the most magical place
We got married at NCEM on the 11th Oct 2025. It was such an easy and stress free process, and the recommended caterers we chose, Pastelle, were so amazing too (lots of comments from guests that it was the best wedding food they had ever had!) NCEM and India worked tirelessly to make sure we had everything we needed and made adjustments to make our vision come to life - real candles? No problem. Corkage for table wine? No issue. Sourced apple sourz for shots for the bar? Absolutely. It was honestly such a dream booking them. The venue itself is a piece of York history, and is hidden away. It's stunning, large enough for crowds with beautiful outdoor space and functional and accessible for different areas. They also directly spoke to our other suppliers once booked, making it even easier to manage the day. We went for a 3 day hire, and they let us drop off lanterns early that morning so they could be strung up by the venue with the fairy lights. On the Sunday, they had cleared the whole venue and left our belongings in corners to collect, making it super easy and efficient. NCEM in few words: friendly, beautiful and flexible.National Centre for Early Music's reply:

Natasha Sent on 26/06/2026Amazing!!!
We had our wedding celebration at the NCEM recently. We did the evening hire package and thought it was great value for money. The venue was stunning - all our guests commented on this! We really appreciated the flexibility of the venue, with timings and being able to decorate in our own way. The venue staff were very helpful during planning and on the day. We’d definitely reccomend to anyone looking to celebrate their special day in York.National Centre for Early Music's reply:
