Private Events at AYC

Do you have a family celebration approaching?

Mackenzie David creates private events and specialise in special occasions.  Stephen David and Rebecca Mackenzie are the husband-and-wife partnership that make up Mackenzie David.  Stephen has many acclaims as a Chef of the Year and achieved high ratings from Michelin, The Times and Sawday’s for the pubs and hotels that he has created across the county. He was Food Columnist for Suffolk Magazine for 10 years and continues to practice what he preaches and always sources his ingredients locally.  He embraces seasonal cooking – the meat used is local and often rare breed and the vegetables have a low carbon mile footprint. Their experience brings the best of Suffolk to AYC.

If you have a special occasion approaching, and not sure what may or may not be possible, contact Stephen and Rebecca via galley@aldeburghyc.org.uk.

AYC has hosted some spectacular weddings, lovely wakes, christenings and parties for every age group. 

• The Chart Room is a fabulous space for private dining and can be set up with exclusive use of the balcony for groups of up to 14 people. 
• The Club Room and River Room is a great winter space for a dinner, party or wedding – for groups of 50-80ish.
• The Marquee is up for the summer months and there are a few dates that this can be hired for private occasions – accommodating circa 200 including the Club house. 
• Although we cannot guarantee a clear evening, AYC offers a fabulous location and faces west to enjoy amazing sunsets.

“Mackenzie-David were simply brilliant.  Professional to work with and their years of experience gave us great confidence that they knew exactly what they were doing. The food was delicious and their service was exceptional.” Lovely words from one of our brides - Sophie Charlesworth.
