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.

“Nick and I just wanted to say the most enormous thank you for making our day so special. The whole thing felt completely effortless whilst being executed perfectly. We were made to feel at home from the moment we arrived, with a massive thanks to Beth, Debbie, David and Jeff who were all completely faultless. Their attention to detail and acknowledgment of things important to us was exceptional. Debbie, thank you so much for making me feel at ease when I was so nervous!

“We’ve had so many compliments from family about our wedding. Some of our guests hadn’t heard of Ellingham Hall before our weekend wedding. I think some guests were wondering why they were at a wedding the night before, as a lot of weddings are only one day. But everyone just absolutely loved it. The team at Ellingham were great. Matt received a lot of compliments on the Friday night. Lots of family said how great he was. In fact, there were loads of compliments about the entire team, they all did a fab job. And everyone complimented us on the food. My friend, Joanne, said it was the best wedding food she had ever tasted. We had just under 100 guests during the day of the wedding and that’s a lot of people to serve, especially with the choices. But it was all brilliant.”

“The venue was immaculately presented and very welcoming. Easy to find just off the A1, with plenty of parking next to the meeting rooms and closer space to unload equipment. The area provided for breakout/coffee/lunch had plenty of room and was a relaxed environment, which gave delegates the chance to meet each other before the conference. The food and drink was plentiful, and of a good standard. The meeting room itself was well equipped and a nice size for our group, not to feel crowded, but also not lost as can happen in large rooms. The staff were on hand all day and happy to help with any of our requests.”

“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.”
