York House marks 100 years with discounted wedding ceremonies this summer
25 June 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
A rather lovely way to mark a local landmark's milestone: Richmond Council is offering 100 couples the chance to marry at York House between July and September 2026, at a specially discounted rate to mark the building's centenary as a public venue.
The seventeenth-century house on Richmond's riverside has been in civic use since 1926. Two rooms are available for ceremonies: the Salon, an ornate space overlooking the front driveway, and the Winter Garden, set at the rear with its distinctive original glass-dome roof and views across the gardens that reach down to the Thames.
The offer is designed to be straightforward — the council describes the ceremonies as simple and stress-free, which makes them appealing for couples who want a meaningful, beautiful setting without the complexity of a full venue hire. Places are limited to 100 in total across the summer, so demand is likely to be brisk.
For couples who have ever walked past York House and thought it would make a wonderful setting for a wedding, this is a rare and genuinely affordable window to do exactly that. Full details and booking information are available on the York House centenary offer page.
