The best wedding venue in Harrogate

We were absolutely over the moon we chose The Sun Pavilion as our wedding venue. We had a beautiful outdoor ceremony, and amazing food for the wedding breakfast. The cocktail hour on the terrace and party in the evening were perfect! Meg was brilliant from start to finish, and the process was so easy and well organised throughout. The team at The Sun Pavilion know good food and they know how to throw the perfect wedding! There are also loads of opportunities to personlise your day so it flows exactly as you want. The service on the day was brilliant and Stuart managed the day seamlessly. We'd 100% recommend The Sun Pavilion!

The best day of our lives

THANK YOU so much to Megan, Claire, Stuart and everyone at the Sun Pavilion for the best day of our lives. Not just that but everything in the run up to the day. We changed the guest list last minute, asked for sparklers a week before, and vases to decorate the tables. They all bent over backwards to make our dreams possible. I would recommend the Sun Pavilion in a heartbeat.

Better than we could have imagined!

WOW - Simply the best day ever and better than we could have imagined. We are so grateful to Megan and the team for helping us to throw the most epic party. From our first meeting with Megan we felt fully at ease, she was full of ideas, eager to help and always responsive whenever we had questions. On the day our guests were blown away by how amazing the venue was as well as the terrace and the gardens. So many of our guests came up to us and said how fantastic the food was, the slow cooked beef was incredible! We would recommend the Sun Pavilion to any future bride and groom!! We also really appreciate the problem solving on the day in replacing the vegan option, the staff went above and beyond to help us out and we could not be more thankful!

Happily Do It All Over Again

Thank you so much for everything! I know we keep saying it but honestly, Megan made the whole process feel so easy and no question was too daft to ask! We would very happily do it all over again if we could!! You all made the day absolutely perfect and we wouldn't have changed a thing!

Absolutely incredible day and venue!

Everybody at The Sun Pavilion from start to clean up days after the wedding has been so wonderful and accommodating. The planning stage was made so much easier with the support of Megan. With her by your side you will be able to do anything. Nothing is too much trouble and no question too daft! She's been an absolute rock helping us plan our big day and making sure it all runs smoothly on the day itself. I couldn't recommend the sun pavilion enough, from the bottom of our hearts thank you so much for making our day so special and making sure everything was perfect!

Incredibly special day made even more special!

Wow, wow, wow. What an incredible day!! It was perfect, thank you both and the rest of the team so much. Firstly, the organisation and run up to the wedding was fantastic. We always felt that things were under control and you helped in making the lead up to the day pretty stress free. The attention to detail was superb and your ability to move things around and keep a track of what flowers went where when etc… was so much appreciated. You made an already incredibly special day even more special!

Made My Dreams Come True

You made my dreams come true at the weekend, I had the best day ever and felt very taken care of! All of our guests were so impressed with the attention to detail from your staff, and thought the food was delicious! It was honestly like planning a wedding with a friend rather than a wedding coordinator! Just know that you all exceeded our expectations for the day, and we couldn’t have asked any more from you <3

The Smoothest and most Fabulous Day Ever!

Megan, thank you so much to you and Stuart for running the smoothest and most fabulous day that we could hoped for. We were so pleased with everything, and are absolutely wiped out today, so we definitely had a good time! I was especially impressed with something I didn't even see, the lanterns being turned on via step ladder. My guests saw it happening and many of them made sure to tell me, I think they were impressed with your commitment to the day too.

Describe the best wedding that happened at The Sun Pavilion, Harrogate?

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

Enjoy the planning and don't focus too much on what you think everyone else wants your wedding to be like. Stay true to your own tastes and you can't go far wrong. Don't get too hung up on all the precise timings for the day, things will overrun and things will move but you're the only ones who will know.

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

Rather than giving a speech, the Groom wrote and performed a unique song for the Bride, accompanying himself on the guitar (no pressure Grooms!)
