Wedding Venues in North East

Northumberland is dotted with castles, and its long, quiet coastline from the Tyne up towards the Scottish border is one of the region's great draws. That sets the tone for many North East weddings, with historic houses, castle settings, country estates and coastal venues all popular.

The region also has lively city options. Newcastle and Gateshead offer quayside spaces, hotels and converted industrial buildings, and Durham's historic centre, with its cathedral and castle, gives a grand backdrop. County Durham and Teesside add country hotels, farms and barns.

Things to weigh up

Rural Northumberland is sparsely populated, which is part of its charm but means guests may need to travel further for accommodation. Ask venues about rooms on site and nearby, and consider transport for the evening. Coastal and upland venues can be exposed to wind, so check the indoor plan.

Travel

The East Coast Main Line links Newcastle and Durham with London and Edinburgh, the A1 runs through the region and Newcastle Airport serves guests from further away.

Peak summer dates can go early. Civil ceremonies must be held at a register office or approved premises, and notice is given at your local register office. Check details with the register office for your venue.
