“As soon as we started unloading, the team at Ellingham were extremely attentive and took care of everything – any stress we had just left us,” says Natasha.

Husband Phil agrees. “It meant we could just chill and enjoy the night before celebrations. It was one of the reasons why we chose Ellingham Hall, as we felt complete confidence straight away, that we would be in safe hands throughout the whole process. The stress was immediately taken away and every member of the team was fantastic. Matt and Wendy in particular, were brilliant!

Notes from the Couple

The Night Before the Wedding Day

Fun began early for Phil and Natasha, who travelled in style from their Cramlington home up to Ellingham Hall. The couple love all things American, and Natasha borrowed a classic Ford Thunderbird to make the journey, whilst Phil arrived in his Aston Martin. A friend of the couple, also pulled up in a Dodge Ram truck.

Phil says, “We both love America and brought the American theme to our wedding. Natasha loves the trucks, and a friend kindly brought his Ram to be used in our wedding portraits.”

Natasha says “The Thunderbird was a replacement car, as the Mustang I had planned to arrive in wouldn’t start. But it turned out well and the Thunderbird looks amazing in our photos!” We requested all our guests wear something pastel blue for the night before celebration as it’s our favourite colour. To our delight, everyone joined in, which we were so pleased about. We booked our photographer to come along the night before and everyone looked amazing in the photos!”

Guests Relax too

“We had such a lovely evening on the Friday,” adds Phil. “The barbecue was fantastic, and it was so relaxing, as we wanted to unwind and allow our guests to mingle. The team at Ellingham played our playlist on the evening, which was a mix of country music. Once we finished eating, we enjoyed a quiz.”

Phil and Natasha’s guests were particularly thankful of the two-night wedding, as it gave them the chance to spend extra time with the couple ahead of the wedding day. After such long journeys, the couple say Ellingham Hall was the perfect place for their guests to settle in and feel at home.

“We’re from Bradford, but live in Cramlington now,” explains Natasha. “We always planned on getting married at Bolton Abbey, but Northumberland is so beautiful we started looking at wedding venues in Northumberland. We instantly fell in love with Ellingham Hall.”

Phil says the two-night wedding experience helped seal the deal.

“We’d not heard of a two-night wedding before, but when one of my cousins got married, we had an impromptu meal the night before. It really helps break the ice. So, I wanted something similar. And the fact Ellingham Hall offered this and somewhere for guests to stay in one place was a big bonus for me.”

The American Dream

With guests relaxed and recounting the fun of the night before, Phil and Natasha enjoyed a fairly traditional wedding, with a string quartet performing during the ceremony.

But then the fun began! Phil and his best man hid the rings under a seat in the ceremony room to make their ceremony interactive for their guests.

After the outdoor drinks reception, guests made their way to the Chapel for the wedding breakfast where they were handed luggage tags with American place names. This helped guests to find their tables, which were named after places the couple have visited. Guests also dropped their cards into an American post box.

A gospel choir performed during dinner – bursting into song up on the mezzanine.

As day turned to night, the American theme continued with flags and cowboy hats as table centres and the food was a real taste of America.

“The catering team really got on board with it,” says Phil. “They served the food in red baskets with red and white paper and popped American flags into the chicken.”

Cowboy boot tossing and a tin-can alley were some of the fun games that took place on the day.

Advice for Couples

Phil and Natasha say that adding those personal touches is what made their day so special and unique. And that’s their advice to couples planning their wedding. “We wrote a personal letter to each guest and left it at their seat telling them what they mean to us,” says Phil. “It’s the personal touches that matter. Don’t worry about the big stuff.”

Did the Venue look perfect on your Big Day?

David: I wasn’t expecting it to be as vibrant as what it was. To be honest, it was above and beyond expectations. Every single person that walked through the door said they couldn’t believe how beautiful the venue is. I kind of knew what it was going to look great because we’d seen the venue at that time of year at the viewing. It was one of the reasons why we chose it. There is a unique colour to Ellingham Hall that stands out for an Autumn Wedding!

How was your Wedding Day?

David: Every guest we spoke to said it was amazing. From the food, the fire pits, the overnight stay, the wedding ceremony… everything was perfect.

Alexandra: I feel like we just want to plan it all over again! I don’t think either of us felt much stress in the lead up to the wedding, I think, because we had two years to plan, and pay for everything. Our guests said the environment was exceptional. There was lots of space to relax and they had everything they needed.

David: And they all said they had the best level of service from the Wedding Team at
Ellingham Hall. Everything was above and beyond what we expected. I can’t give the staff enough praise and we are truly grateful.

Natasha says “The Thunderbird was a replacement car, as the Mustang I had planned to arrive in wouldn’t start.

To our delight, everyone joined in, which we were so pleased about. We booked our photographer to come along the night before and everyone looked amazing in the photos!”

 “The fun didn’t stop with glitterballs and an ABBA hour, however. A drag show the night before the big day, table captains during the wedding breakfast, late night burgers and the ultimate neon wedding after party, meant their two night wedding experience was non-stop fun!”

“As soon as we started unloading, the team at Ellingham were extremely attentive and took care of everything – any stress we had just left us,” says Natasha.

Husband Phil agrees. “It meant we could just chill and enjoy the night before celebrations. It was one of the reasons why we chose Ellingham Hall, as we felt complete confidence straight away, that we would be in safe hands throughout the whole process. The stress was immediately taken away and every member of the team was fantastic. Matt and Wendy in particular, were brilliant!

Notes from the Couple

The Night Before the Wedding Day

Fun began early for Phil and Natasha, who travelled in style from their Cramlington home up to Ellingham Hall. The couple love all things American, and Natasha borrowed a classic Ford Thunderbird to make the journey, whilst Phil arrived in his Aston Martin. A friend of the couple, also pulled up in a Dodge Ram truck.

Phil says, “We both love America and brought the American theme to our wedding. Natasha loves the trucks, and a friend kindly brought his Ram to be used in our wedding portraits.”

Natasha says “The Thunderbird was a replacement car, as the Mustang I had planned to arrive in wouldn’t start. But it turned out well and the Thunderbird looks amazing in our photos!” We requested all our guests wear something pastel blue for the night before celebration as it’s our favourite colour. To our delight, everyone joined in, which we were so pleased about. We booked our photographer to come along the night before and everyone looked amazing in the photos!”

Guests Relax too

“We had such a lovely evening on the Friday,” adds Phil. “The barbecue was fantastic, and it was so relaxing, as we wanted to unwind and allow our guests to mingle. The team at Ellingham played our playlist on the evening, which was a mix of country music. Once we finished eating, we enjoyed a quiz.”

Phil and Natasha’s guests were particularly thankful of the two-night wedding, as it gave them the chance to spend extra time with the couple ahead of the wedding day. After such long journeys, the couple say Ellingham Hall was the perfect place for their guests to settle in and feel at home.

“We’re from Bradford, but live in Cramlington now,” explains Natasha. “We always planned on getting married at Bolton Abbey, but Northumberland is so beautiful we started looking at wedding venues in Northumberland. We instantly fell in love with Ellingham Hall.”

Phil says the two-night wedding experience helped seal the deal.

“We’d not heard of a two-night wedding before, but when one of my cousins got married, we had an impromptu meal the night before. It really helps break the ice. So, I wanted something similar. And the fact Ellingham Hall offered this and somewhere for guests to stay in one place was a big bonus for me.”

The American Dream

With guests relaxed and recounting the fun of the night before, Phil and Natasha enjoyed a fairly traditional wedding, with a string quartet performing during the ceremony.

But then the fun began! Phil and his best man hid the rings under a seat in the ceremony room to make their ceremony interactive for their guests.

After the outdoor drinks reception, guests made their way to the Chapel for the wedding breakfast where they were handed luggage tags with American place names. This helped guests to find their tables, which were named after places the couple have visited. Guests also dropped their cards into an American post box.

A gospel choir performed during dinner – bursting into song up on the mezzanine.

As day turned to night, the American theme continued with flags and cowboy hats as table centres and the food was a real taste of America.

“The catering team really got on board with it,” says Phil. “They served the food in red baskets with red and white paper and popped American flags into the chicken.”

Cowboy boot tossing and a tin-can alley were some of the fun games that took place on the day.

Advice for Couples

Phil and Natasha say that adding those personal touches is what made their day so special and unique. And that’s their advice to couples planning their wedding. “We wrote a personal letter to each guest and left it at their seat telling them what they mean to us,” says Phil. “It’s the personal touches that matter. Don’t worry about the big stuff.”

Did the Venue look perfect on your Big Day?

David: I wasn’t expecting it to be as vibrant as what it was. To be honest, it was above and beyond expectations. Every single person that walked through the door said they couldn’t believe how beautiful the venue is. I kind of knew what it was going to look great because we’d seen the venue at that time of year at the viewing. It was one of the reasons why we chose it. There is a unique colour to Ellingham Hall that stands out for an Autumn Wedding!

Have you any Advice for Brides to Be?

Book Ellingham Hall! Seriously, though, if people want a whole Wedding Experience and want to feel at home, it is the best place to be. I wouldn’t change a thing and the main point to remember is that it’s your day, so choose what you like.
