We would like to say a huge thank you to the Marriott staff in York in particular to Galil and Steve for making our wedding a magical day to remember forever.
We contacted the Marriott initially as we were interested in having an informal, intimate wedding ceremony and reception in their beautiful garden. We specifically wanted a BBQ lunch where our guest could enjoy the garden and relax in an informal manner
From our initial meeting with Gail, it was apparent that nothing was too much trouble, it was a pleasure talking to her, personable yet very professional, there was no upselling and everything was simply very easy, uncomplicated and reasonably priced. We felt it was too good to be true!
As we wanted to set up the wedding decorations ourselves, we were given free access to the garden the day prior to the wedding where we could arrange the gazebo and organise everything just the way we wanted. We had a wonderful day just setting things up with the family, and Gail and Steve just popping in just to ensure we were ok
We had several meetings with Gail and Steve as they talked us through every single step of the way. Although the wedding reception was informal, as we requested, it was organised like clockwork.
Everything was synchronized, professional and friendly which meant we didn’t have to think of anything but enjoying the day. Everyone was discreetly working very hard in the background.
On arrival on the wedding day both Gail and Steve were there to meet us, and now, just like old friends, were helping us to overcome the pre wedding nerves! It was wonderful!
The BBQ was plentiful and delicious and again the staff very friendly and welcoming.
All our guests loved the place, a little beautiful hidden gem overlooking the York racecourse, lovely kept garden where everyone could relax and enjoy.
We can’t thank Gail and Steve and the rest of the Marriott staff enough, we felt very special, we felt that our day was very special to them.
We can’t recommend this enough and we certainly will!
Barbara and Dan

We can’t find the words to thank Gail and Steve enough for the day we had, Gail was amazing from day one when we viewed the Marriott in regards to having our wedding reception there. She was so professional and welcoming from the moment we walked in and met her, Gail wasn’t pushy at all with us booking and answered any questions we had witch other venues failed to do!
She has been amazing throughout and always kept in touch with us!!

Steve, we was introduced to Steve on the night before our wedding as he was the man who made sure everything ran smoothly... and smoothly it was. Steve made sure we was happy with everything throughout the day and made sure our guests were well looked after and we’re okay as well.. every guest we have spoke to since Saturday have all said what a great bloke he is, how professional he is, how good he is at his job and also how much he enjoys his job!!!
I hope this email comes in great spirit as I really wanted you to know how lucky you are to have these two working under yourself!! As I business owner myself I know how hard it is to get good staff!!

Please make sure these guys are recognised for what they do!! They are both the best at what they do!!!!
