“I feel I would have been too hot if I’d chosen to wear a long-sleeved dress in spring or summer. So, we thought a winter wedding would suit us best” said Hannah. “And as there was a date in February available, we thought that would be perfect for us.”

The couple tied the knot at Ellingham Hall’s nearby St Maurice Church, which was also something that featured on the couples dream wedding shortlist.

Notes from the Bride

Why did you opt for a Church Ceremony?

We wanted to get married in a church, and as Ellingham Hall is so close to the village church, this really helped our decision. It played a huge part as to why we chose the venue, and the location was perfect as our guests only had to walk a few minutes to the church. I arrived at the church in a horse-drawn carriage, which had always been my dream.

Tell us the Main Reasons for choosing Ellingham Hall?

We loved the venue; it’s a gorgeous house and the fact it’s exclusive use is a huge bonus. There are many wedding venues which host multiple weddings each day. I didn’t like the idea of that at all. Ellingham Hall is totally private for your friends and family, and the team were amazing too. As soon as we walked into the Hall, we felt at ease, and everyone was so helpful. The Ellingham Team offer a personalised service, and they really listen to your vision. We had viewed a lot of wedding venues and we’ve been guests at many weddings too, but we hadn’t been to a wedding at Ellingham Hall. So, as well as the amazing service, privacy and closeness to the church, the idea of getting married where no one else we know has been married was also special for us.

Had you looked at other Two-Night Wedding Venues?

No, it was totally new to us and no other venue we viewed offered that experience. We loved the idea of stretching out our wedding, because the day itself flies over. It was nice for me and Ryan because we had the chance to chat with our guests the Friday night before, so we felt less pressure to mingle on the wedding day. We visited quite a lot of wedding venues across the North East and Ellingham Hall was the first one we’d come across that offered the Two Night Wedding.

Tell us why you opted for Two Wedding Dresses?

One of my best friends told me one of her biggest regrets on her wedding day was that she couldn’t relax on the evening because she didn’t want to spoil her dress. So, I thought a second dress would be a great solution. Also, I knew that with a long-sleeved dress, I’d probably feel too hot on the dancefloor, so I wanted a shorter dress that I could easily move around in.

My main bridal gown was from Sorella Bridal boutique in Northallerton, and my evening dress I’d spotted online on Knutsford Wedding Gallery in Cheshire.

What Unique Elements did you include in your Weekend Wedding?

We really wanted to put our own stamp on our wedding. We booked an acoustic singer to perform the night before, to make it more of a cocktail party vibe. We enjoyed delicious food, the beef was gorgeous, as were the chocolate brownies.

In the church, we booked a string quartet to play, which created a nice atmosphere for the ceremony. We had personalised newspapers designed, which we laid out on the pews so guests could take a look while waiting for the ceremony to begin. The newspaper was full of fun details about our relationship over the years.

We hired a big glitter wall with neon sign, where lots of our friends and family had their photos taken. On the evening, we hired a DJ along with a saxophonist and bongos to get the party going and everyone on the dancefloor.

How was your Wedding Morning?

I recall looking out the window in Lady B’s Wedding Suite and the weather was gorgeous, so I was over the moon. It was so exciting, and I didn’t really feel nervous at all. I think, because we had been planning our wedding for two years and the wedding planning team at Ellingham had every detail captured, it really helped. Before the ceremony, me and my bridesmaids enjoyed pre-ceremony drinks in the wedding suite which was lovely. I also got a mention on BBC Radio 2 as they were doing a piece on their show about Saturday weddings. My mum wrote in when they mentioned it, and we were both live on the show.

Any Advice for Couples Planning a Wedding?

Just don’t stress, it will all come together in the end. Don’t worry about all the little things and just enjoy the planning as much as you enjoy the wedding day. Also, let people make a fuss over you!

The couple flew in with thirteen guests all the way from North Carolina in the US. They left the state, famous for the stunning Great Smoky Mountains and opted for the equally beautiful countryside setting in Northumberland for their relaxed micro wedding.

Devyn, who wore a stunning designer dress from the famous Kleinfield Boutique in New York says she and Jeremy fell in love with the UK. So, planning a UK winter wedding was perfect for the globetrotting couple. She says they wanted to make memories by enjoying an unforgettable wedding whilst doing what they love best – travelling.

Notes from the Couple

Why did you choose a Micro Wedding in Winter?

JEREMY: Truthfully, we wanted a winter wedding because Devyn loves long sleeved dresses and that styled perfectly with the darker colours we had planned. Winter has also always been a romantic time of the year for us. We got engaged in November and have always enjoyed the colder months where we can surround ourselves by a campfire, hot chocolate and warm blankets.

DEVYN: Our main consideration for our wedding was that it had to be intimate. We felt like having a micro wedding gave us the opportunity to truly be ourselves and celebrate our journey together with the ones we love. We were able to spend quality time with every one of our guests, creating new memories, and adding touches that made it special and unique. It allowed this intimacy between us, such as reading our own vows and our rose ceremony, that made it forever memorable

Why did you choose a UK Wedding?

JEREMY: Throughout our relationship, travelling has become something that we do quite often and is very important to us both. Devyn studied abroad during grad school and later got to return to the UK with our family. We, of course, fell in love with the country and got engaged in London. When planning our wedding, we knew we wanted to do a destination wedding and felt like it was meant to be.

DEVYN: One of the things we wanted was for our wedding not to feel rushed in a one-day event. One of the perks of having a small wedding party is that we were able to make a vacation of it. Our wedding experience started off with everyone meeting in London. A perfect opportunity to show our friends and family exactly where we got engaged and share with them all the special memories we had made. We later travelled up to Newcastle and then on to our two-night wedding at Ellingham. Our final pit stop was Edinburgh, before returning home to the US.

Did you have a Theme for your Wedding?

DEVYN: We always knew that we wanted something intimate with a darker colour scheme. Our overarching theme was dark romance, really leaning into the deep greens and reds to help make the space warm and intimate for such a small party.

Tell us about your Designer Bridal Gown

DEVYN: My dress was designed by Pnina Tornai and bought from the famous Kleinfeld Boutique in New York, which features in popular TV series ‘Say Yes to the Dress US‘. We joke that the dress helped inspire the vision for the whole wedding. I have never pictured myself in a wedding dress, so I knew it was going to have to be something different, but I wanted long sleeves. My sister, mother, and I were planning a trip to see a show on Broadway, when my mom randomly said, “Why don’t we just see if we can get an appointment at Kleinfeld. It will be something fun and memorable for us to do”.

What were the Special Touches for your Wedding?

JEREMY: We wrote our own vows which was nerve-racking for us both, but we are so pleased that we took the time to do it. It added personality and emotion to the wedding ceremony.

DEVYN: One of our favourite parts of saying ‘I do’ was our ‘Rose Ceremony’. Each of our guests had a rose on their chair and halfway through the ceremony they were asked to walk up and place it in a vase. This symbolised our families becoming one and to create “a garden of love”.

JEREMY: Devyn’s grandmother played the piano for our first dance which was amazing. We hosted our wedding breakfast in the smaller ceremony room and our evening reception in the Entrance Hall, which helped to create an intimate, ambient setting for our micro wedding. As a small wedding party, we chose a cheesecake instead of a traditional wedding cake. It’s one of our favourite desserts and the Ellingham Hall team made our dreams come true when their chefs said they could make us a bespoke Biscoff cheesecake decorated with some of our flowers. It was perfect and delicious!

What did your Guests think about Ellingham?

DEVYN: They loved it! They thought that it was gorgeous. From the stunning reception rooms, luxurious accommodation and décor to the wonderful team that made our day happen. They really enjoyed the two nights, and it allowed them all to really live in the moment.

Did you Enjoy your Two Night Wedding?

JEREMY: It was everything that we dreamed of. Micro weddings can be challenging in their own way, but the way that the Ellingham team were able to make us feel welcome and helped to bring our vision to life is truly a craft. Having the Two Night Stay allowed us the luxury of not rushing. We were able to take time to enjoy and celebrate our wedding day.

What’s your advice for Couples planning their wedding?

DEVYN: Have the wedding that YOU desire. There is no rule book on how a wedding should be, look or what to include. As long as you and your partner are happy, then everything else fades away.

Beth explains, “Cristian proposed to me on 6th February, so we wanted our wedding to be as close to the date as possible. It bleached down with snow when we got engaged and I always dreamed of a white winter wedding.

“It wasn’t until after the ceremony and we were enjoying our wedding breakfast in the Chapel that we were lucky to have a flurry of snow. Hannah, our wedding planner, dashed in to say it was snowing. So, we quickly rushed to see it. It wasn’t much and we didn’t get any great photos, but the fact it snowed was an extra part of making my day unforgettable!”

NOTES FROM THE BRIDE

How was it getting married in the Winter?

It was cold and my arms were quite chilly, but I was just so high on adrenaline I didn’t feel it that much. Getting married in the winter was what we wanted as we got engaged in February. Having just a little bit of snow made it a perfect wedding day.

Why did you choose a Midweek Wedding?

The date we chose was the closest date we could get to the day we got engaged in 2022. I really loved the idea of getting married on a Thursday, which meant we still had the chance to enjoy the long weekend before going back to work and normality.

What made you choose a Black-Tie Dress code?

We’d been to a few weddings previously where the groom and groomsmen wore black tie, and the rest of the guests were in normal dress. I personally preferred the option of having everyone in a tuxedo, I think it looks smart. So, we made our dress code black tie, so all guests could wear it, not just the groom and the groomsmen. I thought our Black Tie Wedding looked great, especially during winter. It also worked well with the sophisticated backdrop of Ellingham Hall.

Why did you Choose Ellingham Hall as your Dream Venue?

Exclusive use was a major factor for us. I didn’t like the idea of getting married and mingling with people from other weddings or events. That was definitely a major draw. But also the fact that the Hall is set in large, beautiful countryside grounds with peacocks parading the lawns, which I thought was fabulous.

Debbie, Head of Weddings was also amazing during our viewing. We loved her straight away and immediately trusted her and everything just seemed to fall into place.

So, a Two-Night Wedding was new to you both?

It was, I didn’t know a Two Night Wedding was a thing. I feel it is extremely popular now, but when we booked, it wasn’t on our radar. That was an added bonus really.

Did your guests enjoy the Two Night Wedding Experience?

Everyone thought it was lovely. They absolutely loved the After Dark experience. I hadn’t really told many people about it. The party didn’t start properly until after 9pm and for it to finish at midnight would have been a shame. I’m really pleased we decided to opt for the wedding after party, as it gave guests an extra chance to just keep on dancing – It was good fun!

What’s your Advice to Couples planning a Wedding?

My advice would be to exclude all outside noise and do exactly what you and your partner want to do. I think it’s very easy to get influenced by what friends or family might think or say. All my family and friends were against the bridesmaids being in black dresses. But I really liked that idea of a Black Tie Wedding and stuck with it, and I’m so pleased I did because I think the dresses looked fab. I think you’ve just got to do what you want to do and remember, it’s your day. Just try and forget about other people’s opinions because at the end of the day, it’s about what you and your partner want to do.

Holly says, “Ellingham Hall is just gorgeous from the outside and the decor inside is amazing. We took our parents to view, and they loved it too. If I could have done, I’d have given every guest a tour around all of the stunning rooms within the Hall.”

The couple invited 65 guests, who stayed onsite in both the Hall and onsite cottages.

And even though Holly’s 89-year-old grandma thought the idea of a longer journey was unnecessary, she quickly understood why they chose Ellingham Hall and felt quickly at home, entertaining guests on our grand piano, the night before the wedding!

 Was there a Standout Moment?

The ceremony was just beautiful. We did our own wedding vows, and I would highly recommend that to any couple. It adds a personal touch to the day!

We loved the morning getting ready with our wedding party. I was in Lady B’s wedding Suite with my bridesmaids, enjoying hand delivered Bellinis. Elliot was in the Ellingham wedding suite with his groomsmen, enjoying pre-ceremony Peroni’s.

It was a lovely morning and Debbie, our wedding planner at Ellingham Hall made sure everything was OK for us all. We both really enjoyed the morning; we were so relaxed ahead of the ceremony and I couldn’t recommend the experience highly enough!
