We are delighted to announce that the ‘Events Team’ at Ellingham Hall has been named one of the best in the UK after receiving a TWIA National Award 2023.
Our team was recognised in The Wedding Industry Awards (TWIA) after being ‘Highly Commended’ by the judges.
And while we were just pipped to the top award, it was a real honour to be the only North East Wedding Venue with an ‘Events Team’ in the National final.
We were handed the award at The Wedding Industry Award’s glittering National final event in London at the Underglobe venue in late January. The team at our Exclusive Wedding Venue beat dozens of wedding venues across the UK to be awarded the ‘Highly Commended’ accolade.
It was a real honour to represent Northumberland and the North East Wedding Venues in the National heats.
As our Director Anthony Hunter says, “To win at a Regional level for the second year in a row was a huge achievement for our business. To then take the team to London for the National awards and receive a ‘Highly Commended’, against a huge volume of successful venues in the Country was a wonderful feeling.
“The team has worked so hard and thoroughly deserves this recognition. I couldn’t be prouder. The North East often gets overlooked at National level despite having some fantastic businesses, however I’m pleased we could represent the quality of our region at this prestigious event.”
Ellingham Hall General Manager David Fordham-Scott says that the award was recognition for everyone who works at the venue.
He comments, “I am incredibly honoured to have not only represented our ‘Events Team‘ at the National Awards, and to have Ellingham Hall recognised as a jewel in the crown for the North East.
“TWIA is such a fantastic platform as it brings the Wedding Industry together to network, and celebrate each other’s success.
“At Ellingham we strive to take our couples on a very special journey, creating many magical moments along the way to ensure that their requirements aren’t only met but exceeded. This award is voted for by those couples which makes this achievement all the more rewarding.

We just wanted to say thank you so much for our incredible wedding. The day was an absolute dream and everything we could have wished for. From our first visit to the day of, every person we interacted with us on your team was friendly, so welcoming and professional. We couldn’t be happier with how it all went.
The venue looked absolutely exquisite, our guests were amazed!! I kept giving tours to the bridal suite 😂 Hopefully we’ll visit again one day!

“The venue exceeded our expectations. Not only did it offer uniqueness, but exclusivity was a key factor in booking. The main Hall offered lots of space for us to work and we found the delegate rates very competitive. The venue comes highly recommended. “

Ellingham Hall is the most stunning venue, and we knew it was the one for us the moment we stepped inside. We travelled around 3 hours in search of the perfect venue, and after a long search without finding “”the one,”” Ellingham instantly stood out. The staff are absolutely amazing, they went above and beyond to help us create the most perfect day, and it truly was perfect. We honestly can’t thank them enough. From recommending suppliers (since we lived further away), to answering all our questions, to helping us set up for the big day, they were always there for us. We loved that Ellingham is a two-night wedding venue and that it’s exclusively yours during your stay, which made everything feel so personal and intimate. One of our favourite touches was the Poochie Parlour, our dogs are a huge part of our lives, so having a space for them meant everything to us. We’re really hoping they host another Dine & Stay around Christmas or Valentine’s, any excuse to go back! All our guests had such lovely things to say about the staff and the Hall itself. Thank you again for the most amazing day.

“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
