Where do I even begin?! I fell in love with Grand Villa Heights the moment I first saw it. The views, the architecture, the style of the venue – everything felt so unique, and I could immediately picture our wedding day there. We initially spoke with a representative about costs after finding a Hitched offer for couples looking to book a last-minute wedding. The package we were offered was honestly unbelievable for the price. It included three canapés per guest, a full three-course wedding breakfast, evening pizza, fries and salad, wine and beer on every table, prosecco for the toasts, a complimentary honeymoon suite, garden games, our ceremony and reception rooms, glassware and those gorgeous chairs. All of this at a price we genuinely couldn't believe! We did, admittedly, book our wedding with just four months to go (yes, four months! 🙈), but it was absolutely worth it. I do want to be honest about our experience. After paying our deposit, communication initially became quite quiet, and there were moments when I struggled to get hold of anyone. Naturally, with a wedding approaching so quickly, this caused some panic, and I even considered cancelling. However, I am SO glad we didn't let that initial experience put us off. After around a month, communication picked up, and we started having calls with the team. We visited the venue for a tour, and both Wade and I were completely blown away all over again. The views were breathtaking, and there was just something so special about the whole place. As the months went on, communication was great, all the final details came together, and we started getting more and more excited. One thing worth mentioning for future couples is that there is an expectation around booking 14 rooms for your guests, and we did find some of the room prices a little on the expensive side. However, if your guests are staying in the renovated rooms, they really are lovely, and our guests had such a wonderful experience. And then came the wedding day... WOW. Just WOW. The venue looked absolutely stunning, the atmosphere was incredible, the food was fantastic, and the staff were genuinely amazing. Everything came together so beautifully, and the day ran so smoothly. A huge, personal thank you to Kerrie, Andrew, Andy and Vicky. You were all absolutely fantastic. From helping everything run seamlessly to making sure we could enjoy every moment, we honestly cannot thank you enough. Our guests have had nothing but wonderful things to say about the venue, the food, the views and the overall experience. Another lovely touch was the team helping to pack everything away the following day while we enjoyed our morning in the complimentary honeymoon suite. It was such a thoughtful thing to do and meant we could enjoy those last few moments without worrying about everything else. If you're considering Grand Villa Heights for your wedding, I would highly recommend going to see it for yourself. The venue, THE VIEW, the food, the staff and the atmosphere made for the most incredible day. Despite our initial communication worries, I am so incredibly glad we chose Grand Villa Heights. We had the wedding of our dreams, and that is something we will never forget. Thank you to the entire team for giving us such a special day. ❤️

Well what can we say apart from Wow. We had the best day and it was all Thanks to Helen and the team at the Royal Hotel. From the minute we met Helen and Booked we knew we had chosen the right place. Helen was on hand for every question we had to just helping with advice. On the day of the Wedding Helen and the Team ensured the day ran smoothly and above all made sure we and our guests had the best time. We would recommend this venue to everyone and wish we could do it all over again.

We got married at Hackness Grange in October 2026 and, overall, had the most wonderful wedding day! The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the food was genuinely incredible. We had so many compliments from our guests about the food, and we would happily return just to eat here again! 😂❤️ Our guests had an amazing day and, thankfully, didn’t notice most of the little hiccups that happened behind the scenes. However, while we have some really lovely memories of our day, there were a few issues that we feel are worth mentioning for future couples. Throughout the planning process, we had several changes to our wedding coordinator. Our final coordinator was lovely and helped us enormously in the lead-up to the wedding, but unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, they couldn’t be there on the day itself. We were instead looked after by two other coordinators who, understandably, weren’t as familiar with our plans. This meant we were asked questions throughout the morning about things we’d already discussed, including our table arrangements and wedding breakfast games. As the bride, I’d really hoped to be able to relax and enjoy getting ready without having to manage these details myself. Unfortunately, a few things were missed as a result. Our confetti, which we’d specifically paid for because we wanted beautiful, floaty petals for our photographs, was misplaced, and we had to use a different type instead (which wasn’t as nice and got absolutely everywhere). It was eventually found during our wedding breakfast, which we were asked if we’d like to re do the shot, but by that point, we didn’t feel it was practical to interrupt everyone to take another confetti photograph. Our beautiful, custom made welcome board was also left on the floor rather than displayed on an easel, as had been agreed with our original coordinator, although my husband thankfully spotted this and sorted it out. My wedding dress bag was also misplaced, the morning after the wedding, and couldn’t be found where it should have been with our other belongings. Although it was eventually located, this caused some unnecessary stress the morning after our wedding, when we should have been able to relax and enjoy the experience rather than worry about where our things had gone. There were also some catering oversights. We didn’t have the red wine we’d been looking forward to on our top table, the kid’s meals hadn’t been updated to our latest menu choices, and one of our suppliers wasn’t provided with a meal despite this being confirmed in our emails and dietary requirements being supplied in advance. We were disappointed that these details hadn’t been communicated properly, particularly when we’d taken the time to ensure everything was arranged beforehand. Finally, we know that one of the staff weren’t feeling great and had the flu, following this, several of our family and friends became unwell with the flu, after the wedding, and I was poorly during our honeymoon too, which was an unfortunate end to what should have been a very special time and it did affect our post-wedding experience. Despite these issues, we genuinely had a wonderful wedding day. The venue is absolutely stunning, the staff we encountered were lovely, and the food was a real highlight. We would still recommend Hackness Grange to other couples, but we’d encourage anyone planning their wedding here to make sure all arrangements are clearly communicated between coordinators and to consider having their own independent on-the-day coordinator for extra peace of mind. Thank you to the team for helping us celebrate such an important milestone. We have some beautiful memories from our wedding day, and we’d love to visit again! ❤️

Perfect from start to finish. Can’t thanks Scarborough enough, beautiful venue and lovely staff.

We recently celebrated our same-sex wedding at the Grand Hotel Scarborough, and it was everything we could have wished for—and more. From the very first enquiry, it was clear this is a safe, inclusive, and wonderfully gay-friendly space—something sadly still lacking at other venues, even in 2024. The seaside charm of the hotel perfectly complemented the warm and welcoming nature of the staff. Nothing was too much trouble, and every detail was handled with care and professionalism. Our wedding organiser was absolutely brilliant, guiding us through every step and making sure we felt truly valued throughout. If you’re looking for a venue where love in all its forms is celebrated, with stunning sea views and a team who go above and beyond, we couldn’t recommend the Grand Hotel Scarborough highly enough. Thank you for making our day so unforgettable! ❤️

We booked the Crown for the venue of both our day and evening receptions.From the start we were very impressed with the service provided,especially the functions manager Helen who was always happy to help with anything at all,from major decisions to the small things that you want just right.The location is wonderful,right on the main cliff overlooking the south bay.The reception rooms themselves are decorated very well,and the room we stayed in on the night(free because we held both do's there)was fantastic.There's a huge choice of menu's and everyone commented on how good the food was,particularly the hot buffet in the evening,as this is an area many hotels lack in.The prices are very reasonable and there are lots of extras thrown in.We have no hesitations recommending the Crown for weddings or any other type of function/stay.

We just had our wedding here at Ox Pasture Hall Ox pasture Hall did a fantastic job in helping us organise and execute the day. From champagne arrival, set outside to take advantage of the unexpectedly good weather to the beautiful grounds. The dovecote suit venue is perfectly sized and the waiting staff did a great job of serving food promptly and efficiently. The even coped when 2 vegetarian meals were requested last second! The food was delicious and the space was set up brilliantly. All in all, I'd recommend ox pasture to anyone and everyone.

We stumbled across this venue wanting a relaxed wedding in the Yorkshire countryside and fell in love with venue at the first viewing. We got married in the brick barn on site (cosy and intimate feeling with the two tiers seating). Everything on the day ran seamlessly and we didn't have to worry about a thing. Our guest commented on how helpful the staff were. Its a great venue to add your own personalisation and space for outdoor games like hook a duck was perfect for the kiddies. The Tipi creates an intimate gathering feeling despite the 100 guests! We would highly recommend to other couples looking for a unique and relaxed venue surrounded by beautiful Yorkshire countryside. Thanks Beth, Claire and Ellen
