When Keith and Elizabeth booked to marry at Ellingham Hall back in April 2019, they never imagined their day would coincide with the worldwide COVID pandemic.
Throughout all the announcements and daily press briefings from Downing Street, Keith and Elizabeth held firm and kept the faith in holding onto their original wedding date, even if it did mean they needed to stick within the government guidelines.
Rebecca Graham, Head of Weddings and Events, said; “Working with the couple week by week was a real honour. On top of all the original stress planning a wedding can typically throw up, throughout it all, we’ll always remember Keith and Elizabeth asking us ‘how we were?’ and if ‘all the team were holding up?’ – it was us who were lucky they choose to marry at our venue!”
“We can’t thank Ellingham Hall enough for being flexible & helping us to come up with solutions which meant our special day could go ahead. This has been a tough year, but your creative support has been invaluable. A venue and a team not just about the wedding, but about the couple. We can’t thank you enough.” – Keith and Elizabeth.
A huge thank you to Rosie Davison Photography for sharing images of the couples day with us.
“The Hall has such a lovely feeling and having our meeting at the same time as the corporate launch last year, gave a very different feel to what we usually have at other local networking events. The Chamber needs local venues that make the North East stand out, and Ellingham Hall is a venue that is a hidden gem.”
CLARE MCCABE, RELATIONSHIP MANAGER NORTH EAST CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
We’re now back from our honeymoon and we just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for everything you did to make our wedding day so special.
The entire team was incredible from start to finish and we especially appreciate the flexibility you showed in accommodating my wish to have the ceremony outside, it meant the world to me!
Thank you again for helping create such an unforgettable day

“I booked a lunch party at Ellingham Hall for a very discerning group comprising of generous supporters of a local charity. We were 27 people and we enjoyed a Champagne reception before a delicious three course lunch. Wendy and her team could not do enough for us, our every request was granted. Dietary requirements were very efficiently and creatively dealt with and the result was a most enjoyable event at a price I was very satisfied with. I would definitely use Ellingham Hall again for a function like this.”

“We like to do something different, and Ellingham Hall is certainly out of the ordinary. We had a fantastic time for our staff party and team building. The activities were fantastic and enabled us to get our teams mixed up and get everybody bonding and having a good time together in an amazing environment. We would recommend Ellingham Hall to anyone, the guys here are fantastic.”
