REASONS TO HAVE A YORK REGISTRY OFFICE WEDDING
THE SETTING
CEREMONY
The Bootham Suite at York Registry Office is nice and bright with natural window light which is perfect for natural wedding photographs during your ceremony.
There’s a gorgeous courtyard and gardens outside which you’ll also have full use of for 20 minutes after your wedding ceremony. There’s more than enough room to throw confetti and for those all important family photographs.
THE LOCATION
CITY CENTRE
City centre weddings have a playful, electric energy you can’t fake. You slip into a room, say your vows and step straight back into the rhythm of the city — traffic, laughter, coffee shops buzzing, strangers cheering you on. It’s spontaneous, joyful, and full of those big, little moments that feel like a movie.
READY TO
PARTY
In the capital of the North you’ll find your ideal location to celebrate. There’s gorgeous food and good vibes with river views at The Star in the City. Elevated luxury and city views at Sora and private rooms available for hire for pit stop drinks at The Churchill.
PHOTO READY
BACKDROP
Museum gardens is my favourite place to take couples after their registry office weddings. It has beautiful backdrops combined with winding pathways decorated with gorgeous flowers. Located on the riverside of the Ouse there’s endless options for romantic photographs with York Walls 2 minutes walk away and the cobbled streets of York less than 5 minutes walk away.

SEE A REAL WEDDING AT YORK REGISTRY OFFICE
Hey, I’m Toni. I love old photographs, the kind with crumpled edges that your grandparents would dig out on a rainy day. I love that they would always know the full story hidden within every single one. I have an obsession with polaroids and real film, giving me that feeling where one memory could live a life of it’s own.
