About The Milner York

The Milner York sits on three acres of landscaped English gardens adjacent to York train station, with views extending to York Minster and the city’s Roman walls. Civil ceremonies can take place on-site in licensed spaces that range in size, and celebrations of up to 250 guests can be held for dinner and dancing.

The Oak Room combines oak panels, decorative carvings and double-height sash windows overlooking the hotel gardens and Minster, with capacity for up to 160 for a ceremony and up to 120 for a seated wedding breakfast. Smaller weddings or breakfasts can take place in the Ebor room, which has large windows that flood the space with natural light and views of the landscaped gardens, or in the Crown and Wedgewood rooms on the first floor, with period details and space for ceremonies and meals.

Ceremonies and receptions flow through interconnected interiors and outdoor spaces, with landscaped gardens providing backdrops for photographs. The hotel sits immediately beside York train station, offering easy access for guests arriving by rail. Couples can tailor their day with a range of wedding packages or bespoke arrangements, and details such as table plans, linens and signage are included in some packages. Pre-wedding and open-day events take place regularly, offering opportunities to view the wedding spaces and discuss arrangements. The Milner York combines garden views, city landmarks and a variety of licensed rooms to support celebrations that suit both intimate and larger gatherings.
