“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.”

Ben Quigley, Group Chief Executive – Everything Different Marketing
Ellingham Hall really is the perfect wedding venue. It has everything you need for a memorable wedding experience. The exclusive wedding package created the perfect 3 day experience for us and our guests. As we and some guests had travelled from Australia, it allowed us to maximise the amount of quality time we spent with our closest family and friends to celebrate our wedding. Those staying in the Hall loved their rooms and constantly complimented the venue and the staff.

Thank you so much, The Cardings

We had our wedding in October 2024. From start to finish across the entire two days, the staff were amazing and nothing was too much trouble. A special thanks to Wendy for checking in on Anne-Marie a lot on the morning of the wedding and everything she done in the lead up to the wedding – it was greatly appreciated. Hannah was also a star across the two days – they make a great double act to ensure your days go as smoothly as possible.

On the morning of the wedding, the weather was grim with rain and hailstones but as if by magic, as soon as the ceremony started, the clouds parted and we were greeted with sun for the rest of the day. This allowed us to get all of our photos outside with the beautiful scenery as this was a massive selling point for us. To top off the day, we were lucky enough to be treated to an amazing show by the Northern Lights!

All of our guests have said that they have an amazing time and it was the best wedding they had been to. All of the staff were amazing and we couldn’t thank you enough for making our wedding as perfect as it was!

What a beautiful venue! Me and my partner just got married at Ellingham and we could not have chosen a better venue. From booking the venue, to our special day everything was just amazing. Staff have been so great with us and were always there to answer any questions we had leading up to our day. Our special day ran smoothly thanks to all the staff here and all the staff were just so nice from start to finish. All our guests commented on how amazing the venue was and how amazing the staff had been with everyone. We cannot thank everyone there enough for helping to make our day so special.

“I have hosted seminars for over 30 years, all over the country at various well-known venues. At Ellingham Hall you remember everything, from the beautiful quirky venue which has retained its historic features, the friendly staff, great service and the delicious food and amazing coffee! The meeting room had good light and was the perfect size for our event. It was lovely to have use of the comfortable reception rooms too for breaks and lunch. I was very impressed with the extra spaces such as the basement games room and rooftop networking terrace. It is a hidden jewel in the North-East and I am planning to return soon for a private family event”

Amanda Chadwick, Senior Speaker/Presenter, Croner
“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. “
