Choose a unique and unusual venue for your special day

A hostel might not be your first thought when trying to find a venue for your special day.

However, when you consider our amazing locations plus our Civil Ceremonies Licence which allows you and your guests to enjoy the whole of your wedding celebration (and night) at one venue, the idea becomes much more appealing.

We’re flexible too. We can offer a whole range of packages to suit your wants and needs. We can cater for a large range of party sizes, as well as a variety of budgets. Our overriding priority is for you to enjoy the big day as much as possible. And of course, one of the main benefits of booking your wedding with YHA is the brilliant accommodation we can provide, removing much of the hassle that the logistics of planning a wedding can create.
