We celebrated our wedding at the Hospitium in October 2024. The Hospitium staff has been extremely helpful and dedicated to us having the best day. We had support every step of the way and the staff was very responsive and flexible. We opted for the Whirlwind Package and we found it was a great option!

My husband and I got married in August 2024 at The Hospitium in York. We set the date a year in advance, and began planning our wedding with Ava, from the venue’s team. Ava was incredibly helpful, and the communication was brilliant throughout. We visited the venue numerous times to help us with our planning, and the Hospitium were very accommodating with this. 4 weeks prior to our wedding, we had a sit down meeting to talk through exact timings, last-minute special requests etc. All of this information was then given to staff working on the day. The whole experience felt very easy and organised - and everyone on the team was so kind and welcoming. We can’t recommend the Hospitium enough! We would also suggest that those planning on getting married here consider Mollie and Mauve for your flowers and Mine and Thine for your photography. They were just wonderful suppliers and familiar with the venue! ☺️

We had the most fantastic wedding day at the Hospitium, as did all our guests! We were looked after from the very start by every member of the team, both during the planning process and on the actual day. Nothing was too much hassle and we were continually at ease and able to just enjoy our day to the fullest! We cannot thank the team at the Hospitium enough for making our dream day a reality in the most gorgeous and stunning venue we've ever seen!

We had our wedding here out of season and were impressed from the start. We choose the Hospitium not only due to its beautiful location but also due to the money that you pay for the venue going to the Yorkshire Museum Trust which helps to look after this historic building in York. The build up to our day went without issue, everyone in the team went out of their way to help us and could not do enough for us. We were able to re look at the venue again due to my partner being away when I originally viewed it with no hassle. The day itself again went without a hitch the team were extremely attentive and understanding and we felt at ease throughout the whole day from setting up to the end of the night. We honestly could not recommend the Hospitium enough and all our family and friends were blown away.

We chose this venue based on how exceptional the staff were. It didn't feel like the other venues we visited which all felt so much like a conveyor belt of weddings, with no personality at all.
The staff at the Hospitium were exemplary - so so helpful and enthusiastic. Great communication and really professional. If i were to do it all over again, I would still chose this venue. The only caveat would be that it would have been nice to have had the option of a different caterer (though Bradshaws were superb)

We had the most wonderful wedding reception at the Hospitium. Melody and the team couldn't have been more helpful and easy to work with in the run up to the day and during the event. It was the perfect day for us and our guests.

We had our wedding at The Hospitium last week and could not have wished for a better venue! Claire and the team were extremely helpful in the run up to the big day and then from start to finish on the day, meaning that we didn't have to worry about a thing. Thank again for helping to make it our perfect day!

We could not be happier with our choice of the Hospitium as our wedding venue. Having only got engaged in October 2017, we had a very short engagement! When I contacted the Hospitium, we went to look round the very next day! As soon as we saw it, we fell in love. It is so beautiful inside and the location is unrivalled.
Throughout the whole planning process, Claire and Eve the wedding planners were so helpful, responding to emails amazingly quickly and always being supportive and lovely.
On the day itself, the venue looked absolutely magical, thanks in part to the staff who helped us set everything up! There were so many people around making sure everything ran perfectly - from the security guards, to Claire and Eve, to all the other staff at the venue constantly ensuring everyone was having a great time. The catering from Bradshaws was delicious - several of our guests have contacted us to say it was the best wedding food they've ever had - and especially good at catering for special diets. We had children, vegans, vegetarians, coeliacs and nut allergies and every single person got a three-course meal of impeccable standards.
It is also a really accessible venue. We had elderly grandparents in attendance and it was great that there was a ramp into the venue, a lift to the upper level and a disabled toilet. Staff were very helpful in opening the Marygate gates so that taxis could drive right up to the door, meaning those who struggled to walk didn't have to trek across the gardens and could be dropped off and picked up easily.
I would 100% recommend the Hospitium as a wedding venue as I think it is such good value for a fantastic setting and wonderful staff.

We got married here on 9th December, it's a perfect venue for a wedding and everyone commented on how unique and special the venue was. The Hospitium staff and Bradshaws catering staff were superb from start to finish during our planning and day itself. It's great value too compared to other venues we look at and nice that it contributes towards the upkeep of the museum gardens. Nothing to fault with anything, it's a special venue with great staff.

The ceremony room downstairs is beautiful with the stone columns and window seats. Our florist Fiona Hogg did an incredible job with decorating it. The upstairs room for the meal is great to not have any turnaround time between the night do and is ideal for the 100 people we had.

Couldn't recommend this highly enough for a wedding or just a visit. Tucked away in the centre of York you don't feel at all like you're in a city centre.

Our daughter Adelle was married to David And held their reception at the Hospitium.
From our first viewing to the end of the reception everything was first class.
The staff were brilliant the catering exceptional from Bradshaws.
The ultimate compliment is to say if the wedding was taking place next week we would not change a single thing.
A big thank you to all concerned. Brilliant, and we have no reservations in recommending this venue to anyone.

Inrecently visited the hospitium to photograph a friends wedding and was completely taken aback at how amazing the place is. The staff are super switched on and was an absolute pleasure getting to work with them!

Hope to be back again soon!

In September our daughter got married at The Hospitium and it was just THE MOST PERFECT day! The building is absolutely beautiful- full of history and character- and the setting within the museum gardens is delightful. The gardens and surroundings are picturesque In every season, and the Abbey ruins are wonderful for photographs.
The staff at The Hospitium were just fantastic. We were shown round early in the year by Claire who oversaw the whole process of organising the wedding and who finally supervised the actual event. We cannot thank Claire and also Eve enough for all their help- it was faultless and nothing was too much trouble for them. Bradshaw's the caterers were also brilliant, again we could not fault them. Everyone who attended the wedding said what a fantastic wedding it was, with many guests commenting that it was one of the the best weddings that they had attended. Thank you once again for a perfect day!

The Hospitium is the perfect setting for a wedding. It is a medieval building in the beautiful setting of the Museum Gardens,yet in the centre of York so guests could walk home. The staff were exceptional both in the run up to the wedding & on the day. Everything was perfet with great attention to detail. Bradshaws the caterers were outstanding, nothing was too much trouble. I would highly reccommend the Hospitium as a wedding venue.

We married at the Hospitium in December 2010 and found it to be the most perfect location for a winter wedding. The building has so much character while still having modern amenities and the location is stunning. We knew before we even went inside that this was the place for us! The staff could not have been more helpful and accommodating both during the planning and on the day, and Bradshaws (catering) and the recommended DJ were both excellent. All our guests have commented on the food and it really was outstanding. I can't recommend this venue enough - just wish we could do it all again!

the girls were wonderful and helped and thought about every aspect of the day. They were very helpful before the day and gave excellent advice. The catering was amazing and very reasonable for a wedding
