Here Megan reveals more about their special Autumn wedding.
NOTES FROM THE BRIDE
Why we chose Ellingham Hall
We were first drawn to the two-night wedding experience when we were looking for our wedding venue. We loved the idea of having all our family and friends together for more than just one day.
There were other venues that we’d visited in Northumberland but Ellingham Hall was by far the best that we’d seen. Shaun knew as soon as he walked in that it was where we were getting married.
I was very particular about what I wanted to do. Ellingham Hall just seemed to tick all the boxes. From all the different bedrooms to how the venue looked, both from the outside and inside. And there was the exclusivity, too! We liked the fact that there would be no one else getting married at the same time
The Dress, the Cake, the Flowers
My dress was from Dotty Bridal in West Yorkshire designed by Madi Lane. The cake came from The Master Cake Smith and the flowers from the Whole Sch-Bang event decor.
Best Part of Your Wedding Day
That is such a tricky question! I loved the speeches and then that was followed by amazing food. Also, seeing the room set up was stunning. That was the first time we got to see the Chapel dressed with our flowers for our wedding breakfast.
And then there was the After Dark Experience. Having the wedding go on beyond midnight and having everyone there was definitely worth doing. Everyone absolutely loved it!
Your Overall Experience
It was all amazing. Everything went smoothly and worked well. We live in West Yorkshire, which is where Shaun is from, and being able to have all our guests who had travelled up together was fantastic. It gave everyone plenty of time to arrive and we all relaxed over the two days. It was useful because some of our guests were on their own and lots of new friends were made.
We loved how all the bedrooms were different and we really thought that our guests would have a good time. Having rooms where people can go and relax while others can party really worked well. There’s something for everyone. My mam was looking for my granddad at one point and she found him on the mezzanine taking everything in and watching everyone. He said he wanted a bit of time on his own to soak up the day and think about it.
Advice for Brides-to-be
Everyone will have an opinion before your wedding – like family, friends – but it’s your wedding at the end of the day, so think about what will make you happy.
We literally did everything that we wanted, and we had opinions about it being so far away for some people. But in the end, everybody loved it. Everyone who we speak to, even months later, go on about how good the wedding was and it was just faultless.
I’d also say be prepared. We wrote everything down, every little detail, all the money that we were spending and just kept track of everything to make sure that everything was sorted in time for the day.

“We have hosted a number of corporate events and the staff have always been superb in supporting us. Our guests are always delighted when they walk through the doors and get to spend a day in the beautiful surroundings. “
DIGITAL SPARKLES – NICOLA LITTLE (CHIEF SPARKLER & DIRECTOR)
“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
“The hall catered for everything we needed, from the luxury entrance rooms, to the grounds outside, which we used to talk with clients in more detail afterwards. It was exactly what we wanted to allow us to host a presentation of this size. Guests were welcomed with a selection of drinks and canapés in the entrance hall and then again on departure. The seminar itself took place in the Chapel, while the dining room and drawing room provided the perfect spaces clients to relax.
Michael Sage, Director, Sage Wealth Management
“First of all, we would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the 3 best days of our lives. We can’t put into words how perfect our wedding was – thanks to you. Thank you for patiently answering all our questions, for thinking of every single detail, for picking up the phone a few days before the wedding, making sure we wouldn’t change our minds ???? For making us feel part of the Ellingham Hall family and for making our wedding day perfect.
We couldn’t have asked for more and can truly say it was more beautiful than we expected. You are an amazing team who made us feel so comfortable and allowed us to make memories we’ll never forget. When we were looking for a box to send the letter, cards, and flowers, we came across the box in which we received our wedding rings and it seemed like the perfect option to post everything. Again, thank you for making our day perfect!”
Franziska & Aaron Marshall, 1st June 2023
“To everyone at Ellingham hall. A massive thank you to you all for such an amazing day! From arriving on Wednesday Debbie and Charlotte looked after us right up to the moment we left. The day was absolutely perfect and was planned to perfection by the Ellingham team, our friends and family have commented on how lovely all of the staff were and could not of done more.
The food was amazing from the sharing boards the night before to the fish and chips we were eating cold at 1am! The venue has so much character and we fell in love with from the second we walked up the driveway on that very first visit.
Thank you all so much again for one of the best days of our lives, we want to relive it all over again!”
Amanda Murphy & Christopher Fairley 24th November 2022
“What stands you out from the rest is how pleasant and accommodating your staff are. What a team! Literally a flawless couple of days. I recommended you to Rosie and will be sure to continue recommending you to other family and friends. I would also add that the food was spectacular. The evening buffet is always lovely but the wedding breakfast was amazing. Thanks again for making her day so special” – Rob Marshall, Brother of the Bride
