We pride ourselves on creating perfect wedding days – or, more accurately, the wedding day that’s perfect for you. However you’d like it to happen, we’ll plan it that way, and fill it with so many magical and memorable moments for you and your guests. And because we take care of everything, there’ll be no hassle or worries for you. Nestled right in the heart of Newcastle city centre, our hotel is the perfect year-round venue. The breath-taking Grade II listed hotel has lots of original Victorian features including high ceilings and large windows, combined to create a picturesque setting to provide an idyllic backdrop for your dream wedding. Choose from the traditional oak wood panelled Mozart Suite overlooking the stunning 19th century architecture of Newcastle Central train station, or the County Suite with its high vaulted ceiling and original stained glass windows. If you’re looking for something more intimate, the Strauss Suite would be ideal! Begin the process by contacting our Wedding Coordinator. We’ll offer you a tour of the hotel and get to understand the kind of day you envisage, covering every aspect from drinks to decor, food to favours, and any special touches or themes you’d like featured. We’ll also be more than happy to offer guidance should you be struggling to make decisions. Most importantly we’ll take as much responsibility for your celebration as you like, ensuring everything runs smoothly and working hard to guarantee a day of magic and pure enjoyment for you and your partner.

We had a brilliant day!

We had a brilliant day! The rooms looked great, they had been set out exactly how we wanted. Everyone seemed to have a great time. Thank you for helping us organise everything and thank you to Laura for coordinating on the day - everything went off smoothly! All your staff members were friendly and helpful and did their utmost to make the day special. The bedroom we upgraded to was amazing as well, that bath!!! The waiting staff even looked after us in the morning, making our breakfast special too (even if Simon couldn't stomach his Bucks Fizz, haha).
