Best day ever!!

People always say not to worry about the detail as weddings never go exactly as you imagine... however that was not the case with our wedding!
Our wedding at The Parsonage was absolute perfection, from the stay the night before all the way through to waking up the morning after.
From the moment we booked the venue we had the best service from the wedding team.
Questions were always answered quickly and promptly helping us feel at ease and as stress free as possible during planning. The wedding coordinator on the day was great and kept us to timings, making sure we fit all of our plans in to the day. We would 100% recommend The Parsonage as a wedding venue, without a doubt!!
Thank you to the team!!

The best wedding venue we could’ve wished for

The staff at The Parsonage genuinely made sure our day was perfect - from the planning to the actual day. Nothing was too much trouble and our day ran smoothly. Louise and Katie answered our many questions and requests in the planning and were able to put an anxious bride at ease! The venue itself is beautiful and allows for some incredible photos in the grounds. Thank you all so much for helping to create our perfect day!

A wonderful wedding day

We had a wonderful wedding at the Parsonage Hotel. I can honestly say it lived up to all our hopes and dreams for the day.
The Events Team are professional, knowledgeable and experienced. They listened to what we had in mind for the day and guided us through the process. I was able to contact them when I had any queries without feeling a nuisance and they responded quickly and helpfully. On our wedding day everything was just as we had asked for and they were behind the scenes making sure everything was going according to plan. The Events Team made the whole experience from start to finish as stress free as possible.

We were married at the Church next door so had only a few minutes’ walk to the hotel after our Wedding Service. On arrival we were all guided to the Conservatory overlooking the beautiful grounds where welcoming drinks and the most delicious canapes were served to us on the terrace. Guests could chat, children could run around in the very safe gardens, and we had our photographs taken in lovely grounds.

The wedding breakfast meal was superb with food cooked to perfection and the room was laid out beautifully. Our guests couldn’t have been more complimentary about how beautiful it looked.

Later in the evening the DJ recommended by the hotel entertained us. I had produced a list of songs I wanted to be played, which happened, but also he added music which fitted the mood. We couldn’t have been happier.

Most of our guests stayed the wedding night in the hotel and were very pleased with their rooms. My bride’s room the night before was lovely and was of a good size to accommodate myself and my bridesmaids in the morning to get ready and drink champagne.

Breakfast the following day was of a very high standard with the service again being excellent and some of our guests took advantage of the hotel’s pool and spa before leaving.

The Parsonage Hotel delivered for us on our wedding day to the best of standards and I would thoroughly recommend it for any couples wishing to marry in the York area.

Unforgettable wedding venue with incredible staff.

The Parsonage hosted mine and my wife's vow renewal, which was set up like a full wedding event and everything went perfectly. The staff at the Parsonage were exceptional and went above and beyond to ensure our plans went ahead smoothly and that everything was just the way we wanted. We stayed for two nights in the bridal suite and had a wonderful room with use of their ideal nearby spa as well. A perfect time had by us that all our family and friends have made many wonderful comments on.

Out of this world

Me & my husband had the most magical day at the Parsonage last Sunday - it truly did beat all our expectations. The venue was just fantastic and catered for all our families needs. The staff couldn't do enough to help us all, nothing was too much trouble. We was blessed with lovely weather and the gardens and setting was just beautiful. A special mention to Louise who was absoutly lovely from the very start helping us with number changes and any questions we had. Don't think twice about booking this venue for your wedding , the lengths they went too for the price you pay will give you the day you dream of. A sincere thank you to all at the parsonage from me and my new husband.

Best day ever

From the get go our wedding experience with the parsonage has been fantastic.
Louise and Kate are always on hand to answer questions and settle any nerves/worries you may have.
The choices appointment is really helpful, you go through the whole day and Louise offered suggestions if we wasn’t sure on anything.
On the day everyone was absolutely amazing, not one member of staff had a frown on their face, everyone was so helpful and attentive making the day flow seamlessly.
The hotel and grounds are beautiful for photos, and the fireworks through their recommend supplier we’re amazing!
All of the food was lovely (not that I got chance to eat a lot unfortunately!) we upgraded on most things but it was definitely value for money!
I cannot recommend The Parsonage enough, I wish we could do our day over and over again as it was perfect 🥰
The only downside was that guests had to use the bar in the reception room which was obviously decorated ready for the wedding breakfast. So guests saw that room prior to us actually going in there. It’s not the end of the world but it took some of the surprise out of that part.

Amazing special day

We had the most wonderful day at the Parsonage for our wedding day.

We got married in the August and visioned our wedding photos to be full of greenery from the gorgeous gardens. The pictures did not disappoint as the gardens were immaculate and so well maintained.

The whole day ran smoothly with excellent service from all the staff involved.

The food on our wedding day was gorgeous with loads of compliments from our guests.

The parsonage will hold a special place in our hearts.

A fantastic day made so much easier by the brilliant team

We got married at the Parsonage in June 2023. The lead up to the wedding was made so easy by Louise and the team, and definitely took away any stress. The day itself was amazing, and the guys at the Parsonage did an absolutely fantastic job of laying out all our decorations, setting up the room and making us and all of our guests feel very comfortable ( and well hydrated!). The food was also great, everybody commented on how amazing the evening Ploughman’s buffet was. I would definitely recommend as a venue to anybody getting married

Absolutely Amazing

When we went to see the parsonage 19 months before our big day! We instantly knew this was the place for us! The staff were amazing from start to finish. They accommodated our every need. I couldn’t have wished for a better place or day than our wedding day! We had the best day ever, and it wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for the staff at the parsonage! They done everything we asked and helped us have the most amazing weekend! We couldn’t have dreamed of a better day! I can’t thank them enough for everything they did for us from the Wednesday right till the sunday!
Thank you so much Parsonage, for making our day the bestest ever! We made so many memories! Thank you again! The newly wedded Mr & Mrs Lawrence 07.06.2024

Couldn’t have asked for more


Our wedding was the everything and more we could have wished for. Louise at the Parsonage Hotel was brilliant, right from the start she gave us all info we required, she helped us every step of the way, any minor question I had I would email her and she would respond ASAP. We had our wedding at Escrick Church next door and then our reception at the Parsonage, the staff were brilliant, they ensured the day went smoothly and not at any point in the day did I feel worry or stress about what was going on (apart from having to walk down the aisle in front of 100 people)! We used our own wedding stylist and booked our own band and the Parsonage were very accommodating- not all venues allow you to do this so for me this was a big deal. I had the bridal suite the night before the wedding and myself and the bridesmaids got ready across the 2 rooms, as you can imagine these were an absolute mess by the time we had to go to the church, however a cleaner came in and sorted all that out so it was perfect for when myself and Jordan stayed in the suite the night of the wedding. I honestly could not fault the staff or the venue at all, it was perfect and if I’m completely honest very reasonably priced. I would recommend any future bride and grooms to take a look here, you won’t be disappointed.
