Hotel du Vin, York

Hotel du Vin brings boutique-hotel comfort to a wedding day – a handsome period entrance makes for a lovely spot for a floral arch and first portraits, while inside, the hotel's private dining rooms offer a more intimate, design-led alternative to a traditional function suite.

The dining rooms lean into rich, characterful décor – think decorative wall murals, dark polished wood and glassware and table settings that already look the part without much extra styling. It's a good fit for couples who want their wedding breakfast to feel like a proper dinner party rather than a hotel banquet.

Because everything – ceremony, wedding breakfast and rooms for you and your guests – can happen under one roof, it's a low-stress choice if you'd rather not shuttle guests between venues.
