THE MOST TRULY MAGICAL DAY OF OUR LIVES
‘The feeling we got when we walked into the setting. We wanted something intimate, classic and low key, but special and a bit different. Bedern Hall ticked all those boxes.

A Truley wonderful day
It's a spectacular old building hidden away in the heart of York. The staff are lovely and very helpful. Included in the price you get some floral arrangements to decorate the hall. The only thing about it that is slightly tricky is the hall opening hours are mean that it's difficult for anyone with 9-5 job to see it but the staff with work with you and make and appointment outside of they're usual hours.

You made our wedding a day to remember
We used Bedern Hall as our wedding venue for our small, intimate wedding this year. It was a beautiful place to get married and throughout the organising of the wedding, Elly (Hall Manager) was very responsive and accommodating. I absolutely love that Bedern Hall is such a hidden gem in the centre of York, just a few minutes' walk around the corner from the Minster. Thank you so much Bedern Hall, you made our wedding a day to remember.

A dream!
From the day we decided to use Bedern Hall and the whole way through the process, Bedern Hall was everything we needed and more. Of course it is the most beautiful venue and backdrop but the staff and support was above and beyond. We always felt in safe hands. The day ran incredibly smooth and felt like a dream. We couldn't be more grateful. Thank you Bedern. <3
