Description

Whether you're looking for somewhere to host an intimate ceremony with a select few or an extravagant celebration for 200, we have the perfect space to host the wedding of your dreams. It won’t take much for you to fall in love with The Farmhouse, a beautiful venue with its own exclusive grounds in the heart of the Beamish Valley. You will approach the 150-year-old stone Farmhouse through a private driveway and gated entrance. After saying ‘I do’ in the stunning ceremony, you can take to the exclusive grounds for drinks and photographs before heading inside the main dining area for a delicious feast. Imaginatively designed with an orangery roof and large windows to allow you and your guests to take in the stunning countryside. As day turns to dusk, gather your guests in a cosy corner of the lounge area with a real log burning fire and plush furniture to relax before the evening party begins. Our spacious and elegant Durham Suite was once a stone stable block and has been sensitively converted into a bright, beautiful space that is ideal for hosting all manner of celebrations. Seating up to 150 guests banquet style, the Durham Suite is flooded with natural daylight and has access to a stunning private garden plus an outdoor 'Tipi Style' seating area with heaters and fur throws available. The Old Barn is separate from the main hotel and is a truly splendid space for celebrations. With wooden floors, original beams, and classic features, this beautiful venue is spacious enough for 200 guests and has a separate area for hosting wedding ceremonies. The perfect venue for smaller weddings up to 45 guests where you can enjoy a personal and unforgettable experience with all your nearest and dearest. The Beamish Barn boasts original wooden beams, rustic wooden floors, natural lighting, and a roaring log fire.

Wedding Day
Where to start! From the very start of looking for a venue for our big day, everyone associated with the South Causey Inn that we were in contact with was absolutley amazing! The lead up to the day, any questions that needed answering or any last minute changes that we needed to make, nothing was ever an issue and everything was sorted without any fuss whatsoever For our big day, Stacey was our wedding co-ordinator and she was beyond amazing the full day, everything was explained and we were told exactly what was happening and we were felt to made at ease by here and our guests were the same too. She was a massive part of our day and made it flow so smoothly and was more than happy to be talking to our guests throughout the day Honestly, the perfect day that was helped by a perfect venue and perfect staff. Couldn't recommened the venue anymore, amazing!!

Outstanding Venue and Team
The wedding venue was excellent. It combines a rustic atmosphere with well-invested facilities which deliver all of the modern comforts and amenities we and our guests could have liked. The food and beverage offering was excellent, and the venue afforded ample opportunities for photographs, as well as a good amount of space regardless of the weather. The staff were outstanding. Extremely prompt and clear with their responses, but also warm and friendly. They were flexible in meeting our small requests and adjustments, and helped guide us through what the day would look like so that we felt comfortable and confident when the big day itself came.

Our Wedding Day August 2024
We celebrated our wedding at the Old Barn in August, and the venue was absolutely perfect! We chose the Elite Package, which we highly recommend, as it took away so much of the stress that comes with wedding planning. The wedding team and staff went above and beyond, from our check-in the day before to our check-out. A special shoutout to Andrew, who was exceptional and made sure everything ran smoothly on our big day. Thanks to him and the entire team, our day truly was perfect!

Simply the best wedding
My wife and I got married at South Causey Inn in the Durham Suite on 5th September. The whole wedding was absolutely perfect, down to every last detail and will be a day we never forget. The food was fantastic, the interiors were beautiful. I can't recommend the venue enough for a wedding. Andrew was our wedding coordinator on the day - he kept everything running smoothly, kept everyone at ease and we couldn't be more grateful for him. It truly was the best day of our lives.

The best day ever!
Thank you so much to everyone at South Causey Inn for making our wedding day so incredible. Nothing was too much trouble, and the whole team made sure we had everything we’d dreamt of. Special thank you to Andrew who was there for WHATEVER we needed. From getting spilt beer out my dress, to keeping us calm, helping out with children who needed a bit of support, dress fluffing and taking us extra pizza and brownies to the bridal suite for later on. You were the best and were so grateful. We had the most amazing day ever thank you so much 🤍

Our wedding at the South Causey Inn was truly amazing. Every single detail was perfect and every member of staff we came across were so lovely and so friendly and welcoming it really made the whole experience fantastic. A huge thank you to Andrew, Jack, Morgan, Stacey and everyone else from the wedding and bar team who we had the absolute pleasure of spending time with.

Best Day Ever!
We booked the evening wedding package at the South Causey Inn with Steph as we wanted something low key! It was perfect! The day was everything we could have wished for! The south causey team from checking in to checking out were fantastic! Steph was brilliant on booking and very responsive to emails and meetings, answering questions or anxieties. Lauren looked after us on the day - she was amazing! She rang us a few days before to introduce herself and give us her number incase we had any questions prior to the day as she was on her days off. On the day we couldn’t have asked for anything better, she was so helpful and immediately reduced any anxieties. We checked in with regularly to make sure we were happy with everything. The whole team were fantastic and we wish we could do it all again!
