There are so many decisions to make when planning a wedding and finding the perfect venue for you and your partner should be a really exciting part of the process! Here at Marriott, we pride ourselves on having luxurious, unique venues that are perfectly designed to make your big day stand out from the rest. We spoke to Tom Rose, Chief Memory Maker, to find out what makes Delta Hotels York the perfect choice for your special day. The venue was even recently named Top Rated Venue 2021 in North Yorkshire by Wedding Dates!
Garden Party
Nestled within the extensive landscaped gardens at Delta Hotels York is a beautiful terraced area featuring a traditional, vintage style wooden gazebo: the perfect spot for an outdoor ceremony. Tom explains more: "The terrace can be set up as a champagne reception during the day or a casual, cosy seating area in the evening so that loved ones can hang up their dancing shoes and relax in a stunning, natural setting."
The gardens at Delta Hotels York aren't just a picturesque location in their own right, but they also overlook York Racecourse which allows guests to enjoy a unique view of any racing action that might be taking place. The Memory Makers at Delta Hotels York have helped numerous couples put their own personal mark on the terrace area, including extras such as extravagant flower arches and twinkling garden lights. Tom elaborates on what he loves most about the terrace: "It's such a beautiful outside space and the perfect setting for a magical outdoor ceremony… The gazebo looks especially beautiful when decorated with flowers!"
