"Where do we begin ?!?! I cannot tell you how fantastic the Grand Hotel has been!! You and everyone who were there for our weekend were absolutely brilliant. From the gorgeous men at the front doors, the reception staff, the staff at the event, the staff who kept coming to our rooms with gifts or messages etc. The staff worked so hard all day and we can’t sing their praises enough. Please please make sure the hotel manager is made aware that he/she has exceptional staff. You made our day run so smooth. The food, the decor and absolutely everything was gorgeous. We came away with the best memories that we will treasure for life. Our daughter Ellie was so impressed she’s already booked for New Year’s Eve!! You are part of a fabulous team of people and we want you to know that you are all very special to us. We won’t forget everything you did to make our day what it was."

"We would like to thank you and all of the staff at The Grand for making our Wedding so wonderful. Everything was absolutely perfect and we just can’t get over how our special day ran without a hitch. The day would have been nice but the main reason it was exceptional was the fantastic staff in a fantastic venue. Everyone was so efficient and professional however warmth and friendliness shone through, just a winning combination. Most brides will never forget their Wedding day, my memories will be hard to beat!"

"I just wanted to say thank you for all your help and support to make our Wedding so amazing! A big thank you to the team at The Grand, our day was really perfect. It felt so special and memorable. There was just so much to take in. We’ve just come back from our honeymoon and we talked about our wedding day at some point every day whilst we were away, we keep remembering things! The room looked incredible for the ceremony and wedding breakfast, it took my breath away when I walked in, for both parts. The meal was outstanding, everything ran like clockwork. Everyone from the hotel were so nice and supportive. Our bedroom that we stayed in that night was fantastic too, we really couldn’t have asked for anything to be better."

The venue is extraordinary and full of class and opulent. Everyone is friendly and wants to help you and make you feel the most important person. Our wedding was quite an intimate affair and yet James and the team made it feel like the most significant wedding they had ever held there. Plus, our dogs were part of the day and every member of staff loved them.

I would definitely recommend The Grand, York. The building is stunning, everywhere you look it’s just beautiful. The location and views over the York Minster are breath-taking. But it’s the staff that make this hotel the best in Yorkshire. From the doormen that open the door when you walk into the hotel to the waiting staff who couldn’t do enough to make sure everyone was enjoying their day. Not to mention the team that spent hours working with us the plan the event, always had a smile on their dace. Thank you again!

Dear Dream-Team, Thank you so much for your incredibly hard work! You did a great job! Our wedding was everything and more than what we could have wished for. You really brought a very personal touch to everything. When we’re next in York we’ll be popping into The Grand, for a drink and to say hello! Again, thank you, you are all stars!

Me and my husband, Will, got married here in August and honestly, we couldn’t have wished for a better day. Thank you for going above and beyond and making our day better than we could have ever imagined! The only thing we wish we could change is how quick the day went – it started and ended far too quickly! If you are looking for a venue to get married in and have the tastiest Wedding Breakfast and the most fun evening do, have your wedding at The Grand, York!
