Our medieval, grade-one listed building is set within peaceful and private gardens and can offer the perfect setting for your special occasion.
The NCEM is set in the grade-one listed, medieval church of St Margaret’s and provides a stunning and unusual venue for your wedding reception or celebration party. Restored to the highest possible standards, this award-winning building provides an idyllic and unusual venue in the heart of York with exceptional facilities and set in peaceful, private grounds. You can relax and enjoy our first-class venue whilst our friendly and welcoming staff will ensure that your event is a memorable occasion.
On the day you will have exclusive use of the venue and our friendly and welcoming staff will work with you to ensure that your occasion runs smoothly and is enjoyed by everyone. You might choose to enter through our stunning Norman arch on the south side or via our contemporary foyer with views of the garden. With plenty of natural light, the church offers a bright, welcoming atmosphere and the stone arches and wrought iron candelabras give a sense of grandeur. At night, the candlelit church offers a beautiful and intimate setting for dining or dancing and the excellent acoustics are perfect for a live band or DJ. The setting inside and out provides a perfect backdrop for your memorable photographs.
We work with Bradshaws of York, Caterers of Distinction, who will be on hand to create your delicious dishes, bursting with seasonal style. They offer an extensive range of options for food and wine to suit your tastes and can cater for any special dietary requirements.
Hi! I'm India, the Events Coordinator here at the NCEM. It is such a privilege to be able to be a small part of so many wonderfully happy memories. Can't wait to hear from you!
By choosing to celebrate your wedding with us, you are actively supporting initiatives like 'Cuppa & a Chorus' and helping the NCEM continue to make a difference through music.
