A Venue for all Seasons!
At Ellingham Hall it’s not all about Summer, we are a venue for all seasons!
Our stunning Country House with its elegant reception rooms, choice of ceremony spaces, luxury accommodation and 8 acres of picturesque grounds and woodland, make every season equally idyllic for a perfect exclusive two-night wedding celebration.
Rich Autumn Weddings
Autumn weddings are extremely popular at Ellingham Hall, and so they should be. This season is a blaze of colour, with the creeping Virginia on the Hall changing from plush greens to glorious orange and red tones, creating a rich autumnal backdrop for your wedding portraits.
On the inside, the optional festoon lighting sets a warm glow in the Chapel, when the light outside quickly fades. Wedding themes often see the earthy rich bronze and brown tones come to life in florals and room styling. Sparklers add magic to your evening shots and if you’re lucky enough to get married on bonfire night, then you can host a fireworks display too!
September often brings with it warm days, however by choosing a date in October or November, you’ll benefit from an off-peak price. But it’s not just the favourable price tag that makes Autumn weddings so special, but having a country estate, full of stunning trees including horse chestnuts with their mahogany-bright conkers, makes it one of the best seasons to tie the knot.
Magical Winter Weddings
A blanket of thick frost or snow, cosy log fires in our front reception rooms and magical indoor lighting, really set the scene for your perfect winter wedding!
The smell of mulled wine fills the air for your wedding reception, and the brides and the bridesmaids look stunning in their winter capes and accessories. The addition of candles and rich warm floral tones set the perfect festive ambience for your winter ceremony and wedding breakfast.
Christmas time at Ellingham Hall really is something special. If you choose to marry during mid-November and before the first week of January, the Hall with be dressed with lavish festive décor and it won’t cost you penny! From the impressive Christmas trees in the front reception rooms to the grand staircase adorned in Christmas finery, it’s will be the festive fairy tale wedding you’ve always dreamed of! On New Year’s Eve, you can again choose a perfect show of fireworks.
Weddings in January and February can give your friends and family something to look forward to in the colder months and gives your wedding a standout, away from the masses in the summer. You’ll also benefit from FREE venue hire, so it’s super-friendly for your budget too.
Fresh, Crisp Spring Weddings
When the sunshine returns, the snowdrops begin to bloom and the crisp days grow longer, springtime can be the most beautiful season. With 8 acres of picturesque grounds and woodland to explore, Ellingham Hall is the perfect location for a spring wedding.
This time of year can be ideal for outdoor ceremonies, with more extended hours, but the sun not yet rising to its full summer height. The light can often be softer than summer, which is great for your wedding photos, with no harsh midday sun. The fresh natural tones of whites and greens filter into the pretty table décor and bouquets, and the pastel shades adorn the brides tribe.
March and April both fall into mid-season pricing which is an added bonus, but the real jewel in the crown is the gardens and grounds bursting into life. The peacocks look serene parading the lawns and the blooming daffodils, magnolia and cherry trees really are a stunning spectacle, as you make your way up the picturesque driveway.
Sunkissed Summer Weddings
Summer weddings are always the most sought-after of the year. With sizzling BBQs on the Chapel Terrace and relaxing drinks on the Rooftop Lounge whilst taking in the stunning views of the Northumberland coast; it’s no surprise why.
The gardens are filled with colourful roses and rhododendrons, perfect for romantic strolls and picture perfect couple portraits. Enjoy sunny outdoor ceremonies, with a choice of 3 stunning locations – you’re really spoiled for choice!
Gloriously warm weather, long days and light nights are perfect for outdoor entertaining, and garden games on the lawn are always a hit the night before.
Weddings in the summer fall into peak season pricing, but don’t worry if this is too much of a squeeze for your budget, look at the surrounding months of March, April, Sept & Oct and you can still benefit from glorious weather but for a lower price.
