Perfect for Blessings!

As the celebrant from Starr Gazing Ceremonies, I’ve had the honour of performing wedding ceremonies at the Salix Yurts venue. The Yurts create a brilliant atmosphere and the surrounding facilities mean that everything that you need is all in one place including catering, camping facilities and the brilliant Louisianna Bars! The staff are superb and go out of their way to ensure that a high standard of hospitality is maintained throughout the day. Being so close to York means that is is perfect for accommodation and transport. I love working at this venue and love the staff!

Love This Venue!

We have the pleasure of being the bar provider for this venue and it is definitely one of our favourites to be at. Unique, quirky, intimate yet great atmosphere! Couples we meet are ones who are looking for something a little less traditional and want a more relaxed informal atmosphere. They certainly get that here!

We have the pleasure of offering catering at this wonderful venue on many occasions. It never ceases to amaze me how beautiful it can look.The Perfect DIY style venue!

Best Decision We Made!

Jodie and myself had our wedding blessing at The Salix Yurts and I can honestly say it was a tremendous day, the venue is class and quirky, everyone loved it. Lee, Jenna and the rest of the team were helpful, friendly, well organised and super professional. If you want to celebrate an occasion with a different flavour that will have your guests in awe then book with these guys.

Highly Recommend

Me and my wife Charlotte had our wedding at the Salix Yurts last week and could not have hoped for a better venue. Although we opted for a more DIY kind of do, Lee, James and the team went above and beyond to help us make it happen. Despite the terrible weather they made it a night to remember and our guests had nothing but nice things to say about the venue and team. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a wedding venue that is a little bit different but still is very convenient. 10/10

Heartily Recommend

Lee and his team at Louisianna's did an absolutely amazing job for our wedding in April 2018 at the Salix Yurts in York. During the planning stages Lee was really helpful, always at the end of the phone as and when needed him, and you could see he is really passionate about his company and wanting to make our wedding a real success. On the day itself, the whole team were incredibly professional, the personalised cocktail menu and bar service was really great. A big hit with pretty much everyone was the Gin Tin, loads of lovely drinks to be had, very thoughtfully put together. We heartily recommend Louisianna's!!

Truly Amazing

What an amazing wedding planning team! James and Lee supported us right through our planning and lead up to our wedding and nothing was too much trouble. Our wedding at the Salix Yurts couldn't have more like we had dreamt of and a big part of this was down to these guys! James your support on Friday getting the wedding venue sorted really was amazing and you went the extra mile to get / do what ever we needed! On Saturday, the day of our wedding, James made sure all my requests to turn on lights, put flowers on tables outside etc were done and I had compete trust I would arrive at our reception and he would have everything in check, I was so right, he was stood smiling with our arrival drinks and he and the bar team (Lousianna's mobile bars) continued to support us all day and night. Truly Amazing! Thank you xxxx

The Best Day!!

We had our wedding at The Salix Yurts and it was just the most incredible venue. Thank you so much to James, Lee and all the rest of the wonderful Louisiana's gang! They were extremely accommodating and helpful, even when we threw in some wildcards like "is it ok if we have archery?" (went down an absolute storm with all of the guests and thankfully nobody died). Honestly just can't big these guys up enough, wonderful people who just couldn't do enough to ensure that we had the best day.

Fell in Love with this venue!

wow what can I say! The salix yurts was the first venue we ever looked at last year and we fell in love immediately and saved a date there and then with the amazing James, With our original day pretty much planned out and sorted by February 2020 covid then happened. After such a stressful few months not knowing if we would be able to use our beautiful venue weddings were back on again 1 week before our day! we want to say a HUGE thank you to Lee at louisianna weddings who has been an absolute legend throughout this crazy year and being so positive and reassuring throughout.. the hard work and effort put in, with only one week to go- making sure everything was covid secure and within guidance but also making sure we all had a great time still you all made it look so easy when I know alot of hard work was put in. it was simply amazing from start to finish and we most certainly will book for another night there again. from the bottom of our hearts thank you it was simply perfect ❤

FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at The Salix Yurts?

Every wedding we host at The Salix Yurts is brilliant but the one which always stands out is the Harry Potter themed wedding. The effort the couple put in to transform the venue was amazing! It really did feel like you had walked in to Hogwarts!

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

Go with your heart - It is hard not to want to make everyone happy when it comes to planning your big day but ultimately, you need to make sure you make decisions based on what you both want. It is after all, your big day!

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

My all time favourite has to be an outdoors blessing we had at The Salix Yurts. The groom was born in South Africa so the bride walked to the blessing under a fan fair of the South African national anthem, with the bridal party waving flags of the Yorkshire Rose & South African flag!

Describe The Salix Yurts in 5 adjectives

Unique, Intimate, Quirky, Memorable, Amazing

Blessings outside tend to be next to the Pond which is perfect for photos but in our opinion it must be the centre of the main Yurt. Couples first dances, cake cuttings, speeches and crazy dancing all occur here!

We regularly have Odd Job (villain from James Bond) appearing at the venue. (our wedding coordinator is nicknamed Odd Job!)

What’s your favourite canapé?

Mini Yorkshire Puddings with roast beef and horseradish.

Our favourite treat is left over cake from the wedding.

All of the wedding couples we have the pleasure and honour to make their dream day come to life.
