Thicket Priory

We just wanted to say the BIGGEST thank you for the best weekend of our lives! I know other people say it ( but we never really believed them!!)! But now we do! 🥰🎉 Thicket Priory felt even more magical than when we looked round, there is something really special about it at Christmas and I honestly couldn’t imagine not having our wedding at thicket in winter now! Jess and the team were incredible. Love Mr and Mrs Gee-Summons x

This was the first venue we looked at and we didn't need to look elsewhere. From the initial contact to the actual wedding, nothing was too much trouble for Becca and the whole team. The Priory is magnificent, it takes your breath away. The attention to detail was outstanding. It's a home from home for the duration of your wedding and you are not sharing it with anyone else apart from your guests. If you want a 5* wedding in a magical venue, look no further.

Thicket Priory is just breathtaking. The venue, the grounds, everything about it is so lovely. Theres so many little parts to the house that make it magical, it's one of those places that you miss once you leave. We always set out with the dream of creating a weekend that people would enjoy, that we could celebrate outside with all our family and friends.... We have lots of little people within our close circle so it was important to find a venue that could accommodate them and that we could find ways of entertaining them too..... And we sure did that, the gardens were amazing, exploring the house with a scavenger hunt was fab fun....from the youngest (18months) to the oldest (97yrs old) everyone loved the different aspects of what Thicket had to offer, and we sure tried to make the most of them all. We fell in love with the place from the moment we first visited. And knew it was the venue for us. The team there are just magnificent..... Jess was nothing short of amazing....always so easy to contact, friendly and helpful. And throughout the weekend Jess was pure magic, especially with the kids who just loved her and followed her everywhere. She has particularly made a huge impact on our daughter who absolutely loves her. All the team, behind the scenes who work hard to keep the magic of the venue alive whilst you are there, are fantastic. Nothing is too much trouble. It's a venue you fall in love with so easily and it captivated us from the second we found it. It's a truly special place with a special team of people who really do look after you whilst you are there with them.

Thicket Priory... What can I say! To start off, Anna was such a fantastic wedding coordinator. She was organised, efficient and knew exactly what she was doing, but also kind, and always had a helpful word. Our wedding ran incredibly smoothly because of Anna & her trusty gong. The venue itself is just stunning... unimaginably so. In the video and pictures online you barely get a glimpse at the grandeur of the place, but it somehow manages among this to feel homely. Over the months I visited I fell in love with it more and more, and it felt so happy and normal to wander around downstairs with my slippers on the morning after my wedding. The rooms are just stunning. The bridal suite is the size of a small house, and all rooms are ensuite. There is plenty of space for your family & friends to stay. There is also the bonus of choice when it comes to wedding location within the building. All of my guests were impressed with the venue and we have nothing but good to say about it!!

What a truly magical, totally unique & stunning venue! When I Googled Top 10 wedding venues in York, the Priory was No 1. I scrolled no further! I knew straight away this was the one. If you want your fairly-tale wedding then this is your place. The house and grounds are so beautiful as well as 'very grand', 'outstanding' & 'classy' (quotes from guests!). They were blown away by how amazing the house is and how it looked, especially the ballroom & morning room all decorated. The Bridal Suite itself is out of this world. All of this coupled with the expertise and help from Anna & Becca then your day will be perfect. Becca looked after us from start to finish and the day ran like clockwork. Can't speak highly enough about this fabulous place and the people that run it. A day to remember. If I could do it all again I really would. Thanks you so so much for making our totally awesome.

The most incredible wedding venue. My husband & I got married at Thicket in May 2022 and Thicket Priory gave us the bed day of our lives. From the planning process to the big day itself they were so helpful and a pleasure to deal with. We hired the venue for two nights which was the best decision. All of our guests commented on how gorgeous all the rooms were and how amazing & kind the staff were. A special thanks to the amazing Becca for being incredible throughout the entire journey. Love, The Masons
