The best day of our lives

We are both so pleased we chose The Grand as our wedding venue and it will always be a truly special place to us. We cannot express how well we were treated, from the moment we arrived the day before our wedding to when we left the day after. We were absolutely stunned by the suite we were booked into for both nights – by far the most luxurious hotel room we have ever stayed in and it was a dream to get ready in on the wedding morning.
We would have to write a very long review to list all of the ways The Grand made our stay so special, but to list a few: Sandro and Nigel the doormen were exceedingly friendly and helpful, Eslam made the check-in process completely relaxing and efficient (offering us mulled wine while we waited for our room), James was always quick to offer assistance and came to our room to transport our wedding cake to the kitchen when we had expected to take it ourselves, and Daisy, Callum and Simon in the events team worked incredibly hard before and on our wedding day to make sure it ran smoothly and our guests were all happy throughout. What really impressed us was how much care every single member of staff at The Grand seemed to show towards making our wedding as wonderful as possible for us. Even if something didn’t quite go to plan (as happens with every wedding day), it felt like the team genuinely wanted to help and provide the best solution. Daisy was helpful and clear through the full planning process and was able to answer all our questions as they came up. We were particularly impressed that The Grand held a weekend menu tasting to accommodate us given we don’t live in York.
All of our guests have detailed how much they enjoyed the whole stay and they keep telling us how much they look forward to coming back to The Grand to stay again soon – they couldn’t have been more impressed!

Amazing! Wedding Experience.

Daisy & all the staff at The Grand Hotel made are day extra special, the service is outstanding nothing too much trouble, it felt like everyone we spoke to was aware we were getting married, stayed for 2 nights in The Grand Heritage Suite, great room for the ladies to get ready in. The food on the Wedding day was incredible we would highly recommend the Chairman’s suite for a more intimate small Wedding.
Can’t wait for our return at Christmas.

Magical & incredible experience

Between daisy and Simon our day was truly the most magical day, it ran so smoothly without a single hickup and we can’t thank them enough. The team at grand are exceptional at what they do! We had a smaller wedding reception and it felt so intimate and special

C & J Wedding

Daisy was honestly amazing and incredible throughout the whole process and on the day! Our wedding guests also commented how amazing and attentive Daisy, and the staff were on the day and throughout their stay too. Everyone was so impressed! We had the best day and a huge part of it was down to how smoothly the day ran thanks to Daisy and the staff. We wouldn't have chosen anyone else to oversee our wedding.

Perfect day

We had our breakfast and reception at the Grand in May and couldn't have asked for more. Daisy and the team were attentive and responsive throughout the planning process, especially during the stressful month leading up to the big day. The planning was made so much less stressful knowing our day was in capable hands, and we were not disappointed. The food was amazing and the evening do was so much fun. We will definitely be returning for our anniversary!

Great venue

Daisy, Elizabeth and the rest of the team were fabulous. Our day ran seamlessly and we couldn't have asked for more. We were slightly apprehensive that the wedding executive had changed not long after we booked the venue but Daisy couldn't have provided a better service, the consideration given to our guests with additional requirements was great. Everyone says planning a wedding is stressful but Daisy and the team made it feel like the easiest thing in the world

Just wonderful!

We had the most amazing intimate, small wedding here in January 2024. The Grand looks absolutely stunning at Christmas time with all the decorations. Everything was perfect, the staff (particularly the events team) are hugely attentive, the ceremony room was beautiful and our evening dining experience was fabulous. The hotel suite was really spacious for our 10 month old baby too. We would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of tying the knot here. Just superb!!

Wedding Reception at The Grand

Everyone at The Grand who made our wedding reception and stay so wonderful!

We'd never stayed at The Grand before but had heard great things about it. All of our expectations were surpassed, we couldn't have asked for a better time there and were a little bit sad to leave. Everybody at The Grand made us feel really special throughout our stay. We also really appreciate the effort that went into organising and running our reception - we all enjoyed ourselves and loved the meal, and the room was beautiful.

We'll definitely be back, we've already decided to return for our anniversary!

Our Magical Wedding at The Grand, York December 2023

We had the most amazing wedding at The Grand on Sunday 3rd December 2023.
The hotel is absolutely stunning, it was decorated so beautifully for Christmas. From the moment we walked in the hotel door we felt at home. Despite the hotel being so grand it has a beautiful cosy and warm feeling about it, and smells divine.
Our bedroom suite was unbelievable, I was overcome with emotion when I walked in, completely overwhelmed by its stunning features…and the bath…wow, I felt so lucky to be staying in such a magnificent hotel.
The suite was absolutely perfect for my bridal party and I to get ready in, there was so much space.
The grand board room was absolutely wonderful for our ceremony and wedding breakfast, the tree by the window was simply magical. When I close my eyes I am back in that room and that's a memory il treasure forever.
The staff were nothing but amazing from start to finish! All our guests on the day had any need they had catered for by the catering staff who were so attentive and so warm and friendly. How the room was set up was absolutely beautiful, and the turn arounds seamless.
We can not thank The Grand enough, our families and I are so grateful to The Grand, it will hold a very special place in our hearts for an eternity.
We want to do it all over again.
