From the first appointment we had with Beamish we knew it was the perfect wedding venue for our special day! Whether it was the day we booked our wedding through to the last appointment the day before the staff went above and beyond. Nothing was ever too much and every query was answered so promptly taking all the stress out of the planning process. Everyone we had contact with were so accommodating and professional. The days its self is something all out of our family and friends will never forget! Many of which have said it was the best wedding they have been to. A lot of this is down to the venue, the staff, the food which was amazing!! The atmosphere created by Beamish’s in-house DJ and the attention to detail that Beamish staff made. Beamish Hall its self is simply stunning! All of our guests have made numerous compliments about the venue which speaks for itself! We pictured a winter wonderland wedding which ended up being even more amazing that we could have pictured due to the grand interior and exterior of Beamish’ Having exclusive access also meant that all of our guests had accomodation in the beautiful bedrooms which where extremely reasonably priced. I could not reccomend beamish anymore to anyone who is planning their wedding! Thank you so much for making our day one that we will never forget! Beamish hall will always have a special place in our hearts! Naomi & Adam Crossman

A fantastic day
From the moment we viewed Beamish Hall Hotel we loved it!! The wedding co-ordinators were fantastic from day one. Any questions we had were dealt with promptly and in the run up to the wedding we had a final details appointment where they went through the day with us in detail. The actual wedding day couldn’t have gone better, our co-originator ensured our day ran so smoothly & it was completely stress free! All of the staff at the venue were lovely, the meal was delicious & we used a few of the suppliers recommended by beamish who were also excellent. I would highly recommend Beamish Hall Hotel- it is a beautiful venue with picturesque surroundings and fantastic staff!

The most perfect wedding day
We had our wedding day at Beamish Hall at the weekend. Everything was amazing. The food was delicious, the staff were so friendly and helpful. The planning process was made easy with professionalism, communication and flexibility. The accommodation was perfect and The Stables is ideal for meals and drinks and a very cosy atmosphere. Wish we could do it all over again. The staff would bend over backwards to ensure the day went as planned. Thank you so much.

Best Wedding Possible
We had our wedding here recently and it was perfect! The staff dealt with our never-ending questions with professionalism and all of our guests kept telling us how impressed they were with the venue and staff. Value for money wise there was no other venue on our shortlist that could compete.

A dream venue
We absolutely loved every minute of our wedding and all of our guests couldn’t believe how spectacular the venue was. It looked so stunning. The service was just amazing, the staff were so friendly and accommodating and during the planning stages, the staff at Beamish were very helpful and responsive. I would 100 percent recommend this venue to anyone who is getting married!

A perfect day
We booked a twilight wedding package with Beamish Hall and used Beamish Extras for decor in the venue. Everything was perfect from start to finish. We booked a meal in the Stables restaurant the evening before which was fabulous. The venue is beautiful, the food is amazing and the staff are so attentive and want to ensure that you have everything that you need. We couldn’t have wished for a better day.

Amazing, wonderful, excellent
What an amazing day! Everything ran so smoothly, the staff were so helpful in ensuring that everything ran on time and that everyone was comfortable. Even asking if more of our guests could fill in our guestbook so we had plenty of messages from our friends and family! It went without any hitch and the food and drink was delicious! The only negative was the day went by too fast! Couldn’t recommend more! Amazing venue, lovely staff, what more do you need for a good wedding?!

FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at Beamish Hall?

No two weddings are ever the same, which is incredibly exciting and why we absolutely love what we do! It would be impossible to choose just one individual wedding to label as ‘the best’ as they have all been wonderfully brilliant in their own way! What’s most important to us as a venue, is that each wedding is the BEST version of what each couple envisages it to be, with a little added Beamish Hall sparkle of course! Personally, for me, I think the best bits are created by the simple things; that first look, the butterflies and nerves, a room bursting with love and laughter! It’s those priceless moments that create precious memories to cherish forever❤

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Try to enjoy the process and take time to catch your breath and assess what’s most important to you. Wedding planning is honestly one of the most crazy, stressful and emotional experiences you’ll ever have!! There will be moments you’ll absolutely love, and others will drive you to despair – you won’t believe us right now, but we promise you’ll actually miss it once it’s over. Our friendly team are here to help! No question is too silly, no request too random, and we’ll be on hand to celebrate and cry with you along the way. Pour yourself a glass of wine, run a nice hot bath with the salts and Yankee candle we’ll give you during booking (it was a strategic move 🤣) and RELAX… we’ve got this!

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

We have witnessed so many unique and personal touches –and all completely different. We’ve had furry family members visit the hotel during drinks receptions ranging from an albino hamster, adorable puppies, Lucy the Llama, even a horse!! We’ve welcomed arrivals via helicopter, motorbike, Lamborghini, or a Jurassic Park jeep! Everything from grand gestures, to bespoke sentimental touches such as a memory table or seat dedicated to a loved one no longer with us. We love to hear your ideas and to experiment with new things. Anything really is possible, and we’ll work closely with you to bring your vision to life.

Describe Beamish Hall in 5 adjectives

Romantic, Elegant, Fun, Breath-taking, Enchanted.

Where’s the best photo spot at Beamish Hall?

There are so many beautiful backdrops within our grounds and in our lovely function rooms, but one of our personal favourites has to be our beautiful outdoor woodland swing. It’s extremely popular with our couples, guests and the little ones, and makes for some really fun and hilariously memorable snaps!

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at Beamish Hall?

On a wedding day we believe everyone should be made to feel like a celebrity so that makes it incredibly difficult to differentiate between the two. But to answer your question, yes! We have been extremely fortunate to have had many a famous face at Beamish Hall, both holding and attending weddings. Of course that’s sensitive information so we aren’t about to name drop - sorry!

What’s your favourite canapé?

For us, it’s got to be either the baked red pepper and parmesan tartlet or the chocolate dipped strawberries – yum!! These go down a treat and make the perfect accompaniment to your drinks reception.

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

Ooh, another tough question. While at work, I love it if someone orders a Great British grazing station as chef always makes a little extra for the team and they’re delicious! My ability at home is a little less extravagant and so I’d probably go for something like cheesy Doritos and sour cream dip. Mmm all this talk of food is making me hungry!

What is Beamish Hall most unique feature?

I mean, just look at the pictures – we’re a pretty impressive building and have the perfect balance between historic grandeur and modern elegance! But we’ve always thought the history of how Beamish Hall came to be makes us incredibly special! I mean, how many other wedding venues can say they were built as a wedding gift in the 13th century for two Norman families as a thank you for helping William the Conqueror!

What part of your business are you most proud of?

Our team! We are incredibly lucky and proud to have such a dedicated, loyal and committed team, who each day go above and beyond in all they set out to do. What you are guaranteed when hosting a wedding at Beamish Hall is that each and every single member of the team encountered or unseen, from your wedding coordinator, our events team, the executive chef and his brigade or the housekeeper that fluffs your pillows in the honeymoon suite – will put 110% into everything they do and go out of their way to make you smile and ensure the most amazing, memorable and perfect BEST day of your lives!
