The Bootham Suite - Approved venues for marriage and civil partnership

The Bootham Suite

The larger Bootham Suite room is a superb setting for ceremonies, with tasteful décor and a traditional aisle. It's furnished to a very high standard, with a York stone floor and state of the art sound system. The room opens out onto our beautifully landscaped gardens. The gardens are the perfect setting for pictures of your special day. You can make your way down via stepping stones to the lawns, where a large rockery forms the perfect backdrop.

We had a wonderful ceremony and the registrars were absolutely amazing and made us both feel at ease.

I would just like to add how wonderful the ladies were that conducted our ceremony. They knew I was very nervous and struggle with my hearing. I send a special thanks to them both for their kindness and also for the great enthusiasm they show about their job. Their kindness and help added to our special day.
