We cannot - CANNOT - recommend Thicket Priory more highly for your wedding. From our initial viewing right through to the day and all the support afterwards - the Thicket team have been phenomenal. Anna, Becca and the entire team feel like family and without a doubt gave our day so much magic - words can't explain how brilliant they've been. The venue itself is fabulous - it's unique and has so many little quirks: the little pantries, the haberdashery room, steamers for the wedding dress, handwritten room keys and personalised directions to find where your staying, and of course the hidden door! We had total freedom to use the space and create the setting that we wanted. We had a typical Yorkshire summer weather (rain all weekend!) but the venue is such that we didn't need to go outside and could move through the venue without any need to be outside. And the team! Wow. They are a knock out. They gave us ideas and suggestions without any pressure of how we should plan our day. They made the whole planning process fun and even better, once we arrived on the Friday didn't have to lift a finger and could fully relax into the wedding. We can't thank our Thicket family enough for making our wedding weekend so so so magical.

Thicket was the dream wedding venue and I could not recommend them enough. What really makes Thicket so special is the amazing team there. Anna (and the whole team) are brilliant at their jobs and really made the whole process so special and as easy and stress free as possible. From the initial meeting to our wedding day they were attentive, there to answer questions and guide us to the right suppliers. They're just a great laugh to be around too. Anna was there with me the whole way and made planning our wedding so much easier. Nothing was too much and she always knew what to say!

The venue itself is stunning and we loved being able to offer our guests rooms. The attention to detail is excellent and the whole place has been so thoughtfully finished.

Thicket is a very special place with a dream team. Thank you so much for the best day of our lives x

To say Thicket Priory was the most incredible place to get married would be an understatement. Anna, you are fantastic. It was a delight to arrange our wedding with you & you just made the whole thing a breeze. I cannot thank you enough!

What a truly magical, totally unique & stunning venue! When I Googled Top 10 wedding venues in York, the Priory was No 1. I scrolled no further! I knew straight away this was the one. If you want your fairly-tale wedding then this is your place. The house and grounds are so beautiful as well as 'very grand', 'outstanding' & 'classy' (quotes from guests!). They were blown away by how amazing the house is and how it looked, especially the ballroom & morning room all decorated. The Bridal Suite itself is out of this world. All of this coupled with the expertise and help from Anna & Becca then your day will be perfect. Becca looked after us from start to finish and the day ran like clockwork. Can't speak highly enough about this fabulous place and the people that run it. A day to remember. If I could do it all again I really would. Thanks you so so much for making our totally awesome.

Thicket are a lovely team who look after you so well throughout the organisation and day of your wedding. The venue itself is so beautiful, and Becca and the rest of the team were unbelievable supportive and kept everything running smoothly. They thought of all the things you don’t even know need doing, and we’re so helpful with all the changes and challenges involved in trying to organise a wedding during a pandemic.

Simply magical. No better way to describe this place. They made the entire Priory feel like it was ours for the weekend. And they were so amazing to work with. The staff was so friendly and hospitable and the management is so welcoming and personable but also professional. This place will always feel like a slice of home to us now. If you want the most amazing, impressive, and unforgettable experience, stop looking anywhere else and book this place now!

Can’t thank all the team enough, especially the efforts Becca put in to make sure we had everything we needed along our delayed journey (COVID). She couldn’t have been more helpful & when the big day finally arrived, it was everything we hoped & more. Can’t recommend enough!

Hard to know where to start when talking about our experience with the beautiful Victorian gem which is Thicket Priory. From the sumptuous, tastefully designed interiors which offer such detail, depth and love, with captivating stories to be discovered at every turn and in every room…To the sensationally warm and welcoming team led with complete class and professionalism by the wonderful Anna… Through all the uncertainty and stress, TP remained calm, supportive and flexible to help realise our dream wedding…and wow was it incredible. A blessing and a honour to have has such a significant moment in this special, magical place. Unforgettable x

We had such an amazing day at Thicket Priory. Becca and the team looked after us so well, and we'd recommend them to anyone for their special day.

Such an amazing venue! We were looking for something spectacular for our wedding, a private venue with room for all our guests and Thicket Priory ticked all our boxes!

From the moment you drive down the long, magical driveway, you will fall in love with this place! The stunning, brand new interiors are jaw droppingly beautiful and the views in the grounds, including all the bridges around the lake make for some incredible wedding photos. Inside is light and airy, great for photos. Perhaps the best thing though is that the whole place is yours, you can make it your own home for a day, with no intrusions from other guests and decorate it in your own style!

The bridal suite and grooms suite (yes he gets one too!) are the most gorgeous, spacious rooms I’ve seen! The lighting was brill for makeup and photos!

The team at the venue were so helpful throughout our Covid- delayed wedding, from start to finish, they were friendly, engaged, enthusiastic and nothing was too much trouble. I couldn’t thank them enough for bringing our perfect day to life, after waiting so long!
Such a super venue and lovely, down to earth team who really care!

No words can accurately describe how magical and breathtaking Thicket Priory is! Becca and her team are the most amazing people and have helped us plan an incredible wedding. They have been attentive to our every needs and have made this week end so special! We will forever remember our time there! We highly recommend Thicket Priory due to its uniqueness, its beauty, its staff professionalism, the beautiful gardens, the romantic rooms everything basically! It was so wonderful to all be together in one place and all the suppliers recommended by Thicket have made our wedding even more special! Highly highly recommend you will not find better! The attention to details was also incredible and we are still on cloud nine even after a month!

As soon as we walked into Thicket Priory we knew this was the place for us. It really has the “wow” factor without being OTT. The grounds are beautiful, matched perfectly with the reception rooms and bedrooms this venue offers.
Couples book wedding venues on the team working there-not just the venue itself. Their passion and love for all things romance and Thicket was extraordinary-and they have a great calming nature, very useful!

All our guests commented on the team being so lovely, friendly and helpful. Anna was amazing and made us feel like we were at a home away from home. Our guests and us felt relaxed throughout the whole weekend.

Highly recommend hiring Thicket Priory for two nights. Make sure you have time to go exploring-every visit we’ve had to Thicket we’ve found something new.

Until you have experienced your wedding at Thicket Priory you cannot appreciate the level of support you will receive from the Thicket Priory family. There can be no doubt that Thicket Priory is an exceptional wedding venue - a charming chapel , beautiful ballroom and a stunning staircase. It provides a magnificent setting for a wedding and the opportunity foe some fabulous photos. It is however the people who work at Thicket Priory that make it magical. They work to the highest standards to give a truly wonderful guest experience. Thicket Priory is the best wedding venue - endorsed by Hitched, Bridebook and Guide for Brides.

We were blown away when we first visited Thicket Priory- it was an absolute fairy tale castle with incredible character and lovely details- each room was gorgeous and the team were incredible at making our planning process and wedding day superb! Could not recommend them enough!

For years I’d heard people describe their wedding day as the best day of their lives, and truthfully I’d always thought it must be an exaggeration, until I got married at Thicket Priory in April 2023. It truely was the best weekend of our lives.

Anna and the team are incredible, a huge asset to the stunning venue. Nothing was too much to ask, and Anna put my mind at ease from the moment we met her to view Thicket Priory for the first time. We booked the wedding on a relatively short time frame (4 months before the wedding), and Anna was unflappable!

As a wedding planner myself to say I’m particular is an understatement, but Thicket delivered in every area. With a number of catering options to choose from (which many venues don’t offer you), we felt like we had control over what to serve, how it would be served, and the price point we wanted to work to, (would highly recommend Nomad Catering by James Brown). The bedrooms are all unique and kept to an incredibly high standard, the bar is very reasonably priced (especially to say they have you as a captive audience so could charge a fortune!), the grounds are second to none, the number of options for where to get married is a luxury many places can’t offer, and the team are just the BEST (cannot stress this enough).

If you’re looking for somewhere beautiful to gather your loved ones under one roof for a couple of nights, stop looking and book Thicket Priory. You will not be disappointed! X
