There are some places in York that I've walked past countless times without really stopping to appreciate them. York Mansion House was one of those places.. until recently! I went with my bestie to have a proper look around and take some portraits, and I left wondering why I hadn't been paying more attention to it as a wedding venue!
If you're looking for a beautiful, old world style, historic wedding venue right in the heart of York, I think York Mansion House could be for you…
About the venue
York Mansion House is a 300-year-old Georgian mayoral home, originally designed for entertaining and grand banquets. The interiors are absolutely beautiful, with elegant rooms and so much character a pretty incredible backdrop for wedding portraits.
It's set up beautifully for smaller, more intimate weddings, with exclusive use for ceremonies and/or receptions for 2–80 seated guests.
One thing I particularly like is that it's venue hire only, meaning you have the freedom to choose your own caterers, florist and other suppliers. They have a full catering kitchen and a list of trusted local suppliers who know the house well.
There are currently two hire options: Ceremony Only at £520 + VAT, or full-day Reception hire at £1,500 + VAT.
For a historic wedding venue in the centre of York, I think that's pretty exciting. And from a photographer's point of view? I'm already thinking about all the possibilities...
