Your Wedding Experience

The Night Before…

The night before is the first special step of your Two Night Wedding Experience at Ellingham Hall. Use this evening to relax with guests in the secluded Northumberland countryside. Enjoy drinks followed by a choice of hot dishes, a sizzling barbecue menu or graze on some delicious sharing boards, prepared by our award-winning Executive Head Chef and his team.

Younger wedding guests will be thoroughly entertained as they explore our rustic treehouses. For those slightly older, our underground entertainment den with its own built in music system, is perfect for a game of pool or table football before guests rest their heads in our boutique bedrooms.

The Morning Of…

With two wedding suites to choose from in our luxury accommodation, you can both stay separately the night before. After a peaceful sleep, wake up to a tasty breakfast and start your wedding day right.

Our spacious suites have plenty of room for pre-ceremony preparations. Get ready with your maids in the lavish dressing room in Lady B’s Wedding Suite. Or say cheers with your wedding party from the comfort of the Ellingham Suite.

Saying I Do

The Ellingham Estate is the perfect place to say I do, offering five ceremony spaces for up to 140 guests.

Walk down our grand staircase and really make an entrance into our indoor ceremony room or impressive Wedding Chapel.

Or have the dream outdoor wedding in our idyllic country estate. Enter from our west garden for a picturesque front lawn ceremony, or for smaller intimate ceremonies ‘under the hollies’ provides the perfect woodland backdrop.

For something a bit different, impress your guests with amazing views of the stunning Northumberland coastline, whilst you tie the knot on our rooftop ceremony space.

Drinks Reception

Appear, hand in hand, from your wedding ceremony, and transition with ease to your drinks reception. Celebrate a bespoke drinks menu including beers, cocktails, champagne all tailored just for you.

Our outdoor reception spaces are perfect for mingling with guests whilst you soak up the summer sun, enjoying Pimm’s and canapes on the lawn. Or for those colder months, indulge with mulled cider in front of the crackling fires in our two homely reception rooms.

Ellingham Hall is the perfect wedding venue to cater for you and your guests no matter the weather. With plenty of luxurious indoor spaces, our two stunning reception rooms will set an unbeatable scene as you enjoy your special day.

Capturing those first Moments

With the bountiful beautiful locations, you can capture your first moments as newlyweds in breath-taking settings. Secluded in Northumberland woodlands, surrounded by natural streams and waterfalls you will be able to capture beautiful moments together that last a lifetime.

Wedding Breakfast

Our Chapel is the perfect setting for your wedding breakfast, seating up to 140 guests. Enjoy your first meal as a married couple, prepared with love and the highest quality ingredients, locally sourced from the Northumberland countryside.

Our award-winning Executive Head Chef and his team offer a wide variety of dishes, so you choose your menu to really reflect your tastes. Relax into your wedding experience as we take the stress away and whisk you and your guests into cheers, toasts and celebrations.

Before the wedding day, you will have the chance to celebrate early as we invite you to our food tasting evening to select your own bespoke 3-course menu.

Cake and Cocktails

Now filled with energy and laughs its time to move onto the next exciting part of your Two Night Wedding Experience. Enter our luxury reception rooms and keep the love flowing as you sip on cocktails, handpicked by you both, from our divine menu.

Evening Reception

A breath-taking day then flows into a magical night as your evening reception begins, for up to 180 guests. Enjoy your first dance under a canopy of festoon lighting and keep the drinks flowing from our Chapel bar whilst you dance the night away to your favourite band.

Explore all the outdoor spaces Ellingham Hall has to offer as guests can chill on our rooftop lounge, toast marshmallows on the firepit or be snapped enjoying a sparkler reception.

To make sure the evening is designed just for you, we also offer late night tasty rustic food to keep your guests celebrating all night long.

Extend the Party

When a wedding day has been this good we wouldn’t want it to end either! That’s why at Ellingham Hall, we offer the option to extend your evening reception beyond midnight.

As the party continues, let your guests discover our secret underground After Dark Party Chamber. With a built-in music system, customisable lighting and of course beers and bubbles, you can keep enjoying a wedding night that is truly your own.

Together at Last

As the night draws to a close with your guests, there is still magic in store for you. Retreat away to the Ellingham Suite as a newly married couple and savour this memorable night.

Reminisce over the last 2 spectacular days as you cosy up in your very own hot tub and fall asleep in each other’s arms.

The Morning After

After 2 nights of wedding celebrations, finish your wedding experience with a well-deserved full English breakfast in our beautiful Chapel. With a late morning checkout at 11am, you will have plenty of time to catch up and say goodbyes.

Though this may be the final step of your Two Night Wedding Experience, we hope this is not the end of your Ellingham Hall story! Sharing such special days with you, makes a lifelong partnership so stay in touch and be sure to visit again!

“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!”

“Our wedding day was the best day of our lives and that was down in no small part to the beautiful and amazing venue that is Ellingham Hall and the fantastic staff that work there and helped make our day so special”.

Claire & Steven Cook, 24th May 2023
“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!”

“From first viewing Ellingham Hall on a virtual tour during lockdown to our wedding weekend the whole planning process was made so easy. Special thanks to Wendy for being so responsive to my many emails back and forth! Thank you to Charlotte and Charlie and the rest of the Ellingham Hall team who worked hard behind the scenes to make everything run seamlessly the whole weekend! We knew as soon as we visited Ellingham Hall it was the wedding venue of our dreams and even better that it could be exclusively ours for us to enjoy for the full weekend! Our guests absolutely loved it and we were all made to feel at home there for the entire time. The wedding breakfast food also got fantastic reviews from our guests with many saying it was the best wedding food they had ever had! We had the most amazing weekend at Ellingham Hall and wish we could relive it all again.”
