Winter Garden Room

My wife and I absolutely adored this venue. Firstly, communication with staff was amazing during the planning process ( we live in America and have a 5 hour time difference). The Winter Garden room in particular was so stunning, the pictures do not do it justice. The other rooms are all delightfully unique and the members of staff are incredibly helpful in making sure that your room is set up to your specifications on the event day. The grounds are also beautiful and add so many different photograph opportunities as well. Overall I’m very thankful to have had my ceremony here and would highly recommend York House!!!

Marriage on 4 May 2024

My husband and I got married in the Winter Garden at York House on 4 May, with planning starting in November 2023, from outside the UK. Amelia and the Halls team were a delight to work with. Incredibly responsive and proactive, they accommodated our visit ahead of the wedding whilst we were visiting from abroad, to understand how the ceremony would work, and be best prepared for the day. On the day of the ceremony, Ros was a very calming and efficient presence, and both us and our guests were absolutely delighted by the whole experience. I would absolutely recommend York House and the Halls team for any couple looking to get married or enter a civil partnership in the Richmond area!

A A Wonderful Experience Working With York Housee

As a Celebrant and Wedding Planner I cannot recommend York House highly enough for their willingness to help, to listen and go 'the extra mile'.

Excellent venue to get married

We got married in the winter garden at York House on 29th June 2024. I can't recommend this venue enough, the team at York house is exceptionally helpful and professional. They were extremely organised and helped us through the entire process without any stress. The venue looked amazing on the day and the photographs came out really nice as well.

Beautiful place for a wedding ceremony

Absolutely beautiful venue for our wedding ceremony and drinks reception. The staff were so helpful and flexible both organising the day and on the day itself. We held our ceremony in the Winter Garden and it was perfect.

Thank you Amelia!

In such a short amount of time Amelia was able to make my dream engagement party come true. Every request was met with professionalism and rigour. I was able to have complete privacy (as i wear headscarf) for me and my party. During the evening the staff were so kind and helpful. The house holds such character and charm it was such a dream to be able to celebrate the start of my marriage there. A big thank you to Amelia who made this evening possible and to the helping staff on the day, and to Ros who did all the hard work and heavy lifting. Thank you!

Brilliant Summer Wedding

We had the most amazing wedding at York House on 9 September. We booked most of the rooms in the House for our 150 daytime / 200 evening guest wedding on the hottest day of the year! York House was such a special wedding venue, and really is a brilliant find and incredibly underrated. Amelia was such a brilliant help - every step of the way she was a helping hand, guiding us through all the elements of the day. On the day itself, York House was absolutely beautiful, and we had the most amazing banquet hall set up in Clarendon Hall. We really could not recommend York House enough.

Beautiful venue with lovely staff and great organisation

From start to finish, the service was excellent. We were recommended the Winter garden which was beautiful (if a little hot because of the glass roof!)
The staff were polite and helpful. I cannot recommend enough.

Thai Nigerian Fusion Wedding Recption

We are local residents of Twickenham & attended the Wedding fair in March 2018. There were generous discounts so we signed up.
There was initial confusion of the wrong price list at the fair (The dates were to April 2018 and we were scheduled to get married in October 2018) But quickly resolved.
Website advised that should bring in external caterers and helpfully provided a list of caterers. As we are a Thai/Nigerian couple i was delighted to see such multicultural options.
York house were helpful, patient and contactable via email/phone. We primarily dealt with Leanne for the entire run up who was fantastic. Though people weren't always in the office, they did call back or email back most of the time. All our questions were answered & the venue was relatively flexible. Advised well in advance about deposits/ fees we would need to pay up front. York House were also flexible with site visits as long as we asked in advance. Visited the venue 3 times with caterers/Dj's before the event. We had our wedding reception here following our church wedding. We had hired a double-decker bus, it was able to park relatively close to the venue as it has a bay outside. Leanne kindly made a welcome sign for our visitors which added a lovely touch.
Our drinks reception was in the winter Garden. We had 130 people. People were able to spill into the gardens. You will need to hire the winter garden if you would like to have canapes outside.
We hired Clarendon hall for our main reception for 130 guests. it was excellent and well decorated. The sound system was fantastic and the space brilliant. We had a fantastic wedding reception here and could not recommend York house and the team more highly.

Beautiful venue

We got married in the Winter Gardens at York House in September - a beautiful, intimate venue that looks great both inside and out. Staff were helpful in the buildup and always happy to answer any questions, and Ross who was on hand during the day was brilliant in making sure everything ran perfectly. Would 100% recommend!

Summer wedding

We got married at York House in July and strongly recommend it as a venue. It's a great option for a London wedding that also provides a stately home and large garden and is reasonably priced. Our guests - local and international - were very impressed with the venue. We booked the Salon and Winter Garden for our ceremony and cocktail reception and had use of the terrace (an advantage in the warm weather). All of the staff at York House were great to deal with. Amelia helped to coordinate our event and was extremely helpful and made us feel that nothing was too much trouble. Another advantage to booking York House is that it's dry hire which reduced the cost of catering and allowed us to select our own supplier. York House is a lovely venue that made our wedding memorable.

50th Birthday - Black tie event

I hosted my 50th Birthday with around 100 guests at York House, the venue was a delight - we had a string quartet for the meet and greet part in the winter garden & terrace, and had the main event in the Halls - Totally thrilled and couldn't recommend highly enough.

A Special Day at a Beautiful Venue

We had a beautiful wedding at York House in September. The venue looks lovely in all our pictures and guests were so impressed with the rooms. The Winter Garden was my favourite and should put compared to other rooms I’d seen. For an intimate small wedding this was perfect. Staff were all wonderful and the registrar stole the show. I’d recommend the venue to anyone, especially if on a budget.
