Just a note to say thank you for a wonderful day on Saturday. Everything went perfectly from the ceremony to the DJ and we're really appreciative of the efforts you all put in. I gave a nod to you, to Hannah and the catering staff in my speech and I want to reiterate how helpful Hannah was in organising everything. The waiting staff were very impressive (it was like a military operation!) and the

‘Everything was perfect and I could not have even imagined how perfect it could possibly be. It is all down to Isobel and Liam who worked so incredibly hard to make sure everything went smoothly and our wishes were met. I don’t even think I could start to thank them for everything they hav

Just wanted to let you know what a wonderful time we had at the Principal Hotel this weekend. Natalie and Javaad seemed to spend the whole day with the biggest smile. Liam and his team were really great and everything went like clockwork. We were particularly impressed that nothing seemed to faze the team and there was nothing that was too much trouble. Please can you pass

The wedding was absolutely fantastic thank you, we couldn't have imagined a better day! The whole experience from our initial meeting with the wedding coordinator to the day itself has been brilliant. Katie helped us so much along the way with your ideas and achieving ours. Caroline was absolutely fab on the day, so helpful and making sure we were happy throughout the day. The service on the day was great, everybody got what they ordered, there were no delays and the food was amazing, many of our guests said the same, the lemon tart was a firm favourite! The renovations were amazing, from what it was to how it is now is incredible and it really does look five star, all of our guests commented on the decor of the hotel and we felt very privileged to be the first to use it! We really can't thank Katie and Caroline enough, you've

We would like to Congratulate you and your team for the hard work and attention to detail on our Wedding day. It was such a wonderful day and we all had an excellent time. No-one could fault anything. We would like to say thank you to the Royal York, especially our wedding Host, she was excellent and the day ran so smoothly, it was relaxing. The food was superb, a massive thank you to the Chef and his team, everyone is making the Royal York a place to visit for food now!

We had a lovely time at our reception last week. I thought the wedding coordinator did an excellent job in the planning with us over the months since we booked your venue. We found you to be very responsive and amenable to our requests, and very helpful. You made the planning process easy for us and coped well with the ever changing demands, eg on seating plan and numbers during the last week. Our suppliers were also impressed by your interventions, and found you very helpful. The venue looked fantastic and the food was excellent. You’d laid out the room very well and it looked lovely with all of the items we’d left with you placed in the Oak room. The service was good overall, and we found people approachable and responsive. All of our guests have given us very good feedback and everyone really enjoyed their day. We couldn’t have asked for more and are so pleased that we chose to hold our reception at The Royal York. Holding the wedding breakfast in the Oak room and then moving downstai

Firstly Rob and I want to say a huge thank you to Katie! You were such a big help through the whole process. You answered my (many!) emails and questions every time I sent you any, and the information and advice you gave us was invaluable. Secondly, and I'm so sorry that I can't remember his name - the day was a while ago now and a lot of it was a blur - but the gentleman from your hotel who was the MC and who looked after the whole day, hew as absolutely brilliant. We couldn't thank him enough! He was so helpful when we were running late (through no fault of your own - that was me and my bridesmaids not managing to keep on time in the morning). And Rob and I both felt so looked after during the day by him. Your bar and waiting staff were also all absolutely lovely! So friendly and professional. As were all the staff in the hotel that we came across when checking in and out. You have a really fantastic group of people working there! We had such a wonderful day and we were

We have had a tremendous response from all out guests about great the whole day was; from the church service, travelling toand from Malton on a bus (with peroni and Prosecco) and then the wedding breakfast itself. The canapes and food were top notch, thank you. Jeet (I hope that I have spelt his name right) was fantastic and kept things running very smoothly despite there being a small mishap after dinner which not the hotels fault! Also, I have to pass on that both the photographer and the lady who supplied my cake complimented the hotel very much on how well you accommodated them and helped them on

The day was perfect and went without hitch. We would like to commend Katie. Warner for being totally professional and flexible in her dealings with us. From the general organisation to the quality of the food, it was all excellent. We particularly recommend the Hog Roast for the evening. The logistics for the bride and groom were handled impeccably by Jeet. His calm personas and attention to detail helped us

Hi Katie, Thank you so much for your email, apologies for taking so long to reply it has been a very hectic few weeks! Firstly, I would like to thank you for all the work you personally put into our day, and all the staff who made our day flawless. All our guest commented on how wonderful the hotel is, the staff being so friendly and smiley and the food being exceptional (high praise indeed from Rob and my dad who are both chefs!). Rob and I were so glad that we picked the Royal York for our wedding as it provided the relaxed environment we wanted, where we could enjoy the day with our friends and family in the safe knowledge everyt
