The best day of our lives
We are both so pleased we chose The Grand as our wedding venue and it will always be a truly special place to us. We cannot express how well we were treated, from the moment we arrived the day before our wedding to when we left the day after. We were absolutely stunned by the suite we were booked into for both nights – by far the most luxurious hotel room we have ever stayed in and it was a dream to get ready in on the wedding morning. We would have to write a very long review to list all of the ways The Grand made our stay so special, but to list a few: Sandro and Nigel the doormen were exceedingly friendly and helpful, Eslam made the check-in process completely relaxing and efficient (offering us mulled wine while we waited for our room), James was always quick to offer assistance and came to our room to transport our wedding cake to the kitchen when we had expected to take it ourselves, and Daisy, Callum and Simon in the events team worked incredibly hard before and on our wedding day to make sure it ran smoothly and our guests were all happy throughout. What really impressed us was how much care every single member of staff at The Grand seemed to show towards making our wedding as wonderful as possible for us. Even if something didn’t quite go to plan (as happens with every wedding day), it felt like the team genuinely wanted to help and provide the best solution. Daisy was helpful and clear through the full planning process and was able to answer all our questions as they came up. We were particularly impressed that The Grand held a weekend menu tasting to accommodate us given we don’t live in York. All of our guests have detailed how much they enjoyed the whole stay and they keep telling us how much they look forward to coming back to The Grand to stay again soon – they couldn’t have been more impressed!

Perfect Intimate Wedding
We were looking for a venue to have a small wedding with just family. There were not many places that advertised for such a thing. Being locals in York, we found the Grand, York online who offered such a package. We were immediately contacted by Daisy who met with us and showed us around. She talked us through what the package would offer, as well as any extra's we may want to include. We got to sample our wedding breakfast and even talk to the chef about any changes we may like. On the day, Daisy was there also to ensure that everything went smoothly and helped us out massively when we had a issue with our cake, taking the stress away from us on our day. The day was just what we wanted and we could not recommend this venue enough.

C & J Wedding
Daisy was honestly amazing and incredible throughout the whole process and on the day! Our wedding guests also commented how amazing and attentive Daisy, and the staff were on the day and throughout their stay too. Everyone was so impressed! We had the best day and a huge part of it was down to how smoothly the day ran thanks to Daisy and the staff. We wouldn't have chosen anyone else to oversee our wedding.

It would be difficult to just choose one moment, but it has to be the moment that our newly married couple walks back down the aisle after their ceremony with their loved ones!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Whilst planning only think about what you want, don't worry other people's opinions - it's your day.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

One of our most recent favourites is a couple arranged for every guests place card to have a hand drawn photo of them, next to their place card. It was so detailed and a perfect memento for the guests to take away with them to remember the day!
