Pavilions of Harrogate - Weddings

Jewish FAQs

Can we use any caterer we like?
We reserve the right to approve your chosen caterer, and will check with their local authority to ensure they are a registered caterer. We require that your caterer, once approved signs a contract with us and pay a bond of £1,000 (inc VAT). This bond is refundable if we are happy that our kitchens and equipment are left as found and that all health and safety regulations have been met.

Do you provide all the equipment and staff that the caterer will need?
No. It will be your caterer’s responsibility to provide all crockery, cutlery, linen and glassware, as well as to provide kitchen and waiting staff. We strongly suggest that your caterer visits us prior to the wedding to see what equipment is available to them.

Can we have access to the room the day before to set it up?
Access to the rooms the day prior for setting up is not included, but may be arranged. Please discuss this with us if required.

Do you have other rooms that we can use for our guests changing or bride’s bedecking?
Yes. We will be happy to quote you for any other requirements you may have.
