The Hospitium

The Hospitium is licensed for wedding ceremonies and we work closely with staff at York Register Office to ensure your wedding runs like a dream. Our dedicated team will help you to make your special day a joyful and memorable one. The ground floor is ideal for your wedding ceremony and can be quickly converted to an open area for a drinks reception after the formalities are completed. Its medieval stone walls and latticed windows give it a historic, traditional air and offer a "blank canvas" for your choice of floral arrangements. During the warmer months, many couples choose to hold their post-ceremony drinks reception outside on our paved area. This private area looks out over the Museum Gardens and helps create a lovely summer garden party atmosphere. The first floor, with its high ceiling and half-timbered walls, provides a stunning dining room for your wedding breakfast. We can host seated dinners for up to 130 guests and drinks/buffet receptions for up to 150 guests. To round off the evening, the ground floor can again be converted into a space for music, dancing and parties!
