Beamish Hall Country House Hotel Reviews (18) Write a review Fantastic from start to finish! Venue Service By Andrew and Becky, on 21 Jun 2019Date of Wedding - 09 Mar 2019 We had a fabulous day! All the staff I had contact with were very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful! We couldn’t of asked anymore of the staff or the venue!We couldnt have asked for a better place Venue Service By Ashleigh and Gary, on 21 Jun 2019Date of Wedding - 03 Nov 2018 From booking the wedding through to the day itself, Beamish Hall staff were incredible. Rosie was fantastic and professional throughout our wedding journey. The wedding day itself was just perfect, the whole day ran so smoothly, the food was perfect, the service was amazing and the Winter Gardens looked simply stunning. I owe a huge thank you to Helen from Beamish Extras who was just fantastic throughout. The Winter Gardens looked stunning. It was everything I wanted it to look like and more. We had several meetings to discuss how I wanted the room, as I kept changing my mind after visiting a showcase day, because it would always be decorated differently each time and would always look amazing. I did tell her they were just too good at their job because I liked everything! Despite this, Helen was always so helpful and patient with me. All our guests commented on what a lovely time they had and we still can't believe what an amazing day it was. Natalia did a wonderful job of looking after ourselves and our guests throughout the whole day. We couldn't have asked for a better place to get married. We certainly won't forget it!Excellent service and a fabulous day Venue Service By Karen & Anthony, on 21 Jun 2019Date of Wedding - 27 Oct 2018 Beamish staff looked after us so well from start to finish!

Jona and OliviaA dream! Venue Service By Paige and Thomas, on 21 Jun 2019Date of Wedding - 12 Aug 2018 We had an absolutely beautiful day, nothing went wrong and we felt every member of staff made our day feel stress free and perfect. Wouldn't of asked for a better wedding day thank you all.The whole team and Beamish was faultless Venue Service By Lucy and Jonathan, on 21 Jun 2019Date of Wedding - 30 Jun 2018 The whole team and Beamish was faultless from start to finish. Nothing was too much of an effort for them and on the day everyone complimented the food and how georgous the venue looked. Very happy with Rosie and the rest of the team.Our wedding day was perfect in our eyes Venue Service By Alex & Helen, on 21 Jun 2019Date of Wedding - 16 Jun 2018 As soon as we walked through the doors of Beamish Hall we knew we would be married there. The old world elegance and welcoming atmosphere was everything we were looking for in a venue and hadn't found in the right measures anywhere else. Our wedding coordinator was so attentive and helpful throughout every stage of our planning. Even when we thought we had thrown a curve ball it wasn't anything she couldn't handle. The Shafto Hall was a beautiful place to hold our ceremony. Filled with candles, it showcased all the romance of the day and have our guests the grand welcome we wanted for them. The Monboucher Room, what can I say, I was in love as soon as I stepped through the doors on the first day we visited, and to step through them seeing it transformed after a year of hard planning took my breath away. All our guests were so complimentry of the venue, of its beauty and charm, and how it was just 'us'. Being able to have our guests stay over the night before and see them all at breakfast the day after the wedding worked better than I had thought and having young children and elderly relatives it was a must that they were comfortable. Our wedding day was perfect in our eyes and without Beamish Hall and its staff we would have definitely missed out.We rebooked for our anniversary! Venue Service By Beverley and robert, on 21 Jun 2019Date of Wedding - 19 May 2018 From start to finish you made our day the best it could be all the staff were fantastic and nothing was a bother. I would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a wedding venue. Some of my guests loved it that much they have booked to come and stay for a wedding anniversary.We wish we could do it all again! Venue Service By Sarah & Dave, on 21 Jun 2019Date of Wedding - 24 Feb 2018 We knew on our first visit to the hall that we wanted it as our wedding venue. I enquired by email and Rosie from the wedding department got back to me straight away to arrange for us to be shown around the grounds which are just stunning. From start to finish Rosie made sure that everything was in place and on track, and she was always very responsive to my questions and queries on the run up to the big day. Our menu tasting was a definite highlight and the food was gorgeous. Rosie was so supportive on the day and made sure that everything was in place and running smoothly and our guests all commented on how great the service from all the team members were, especially Natalia and Adam who coordinated the day. We would recommend the hall to anyone who wants a romantic, rural setting - we wish we could do it all again!We had a perfect day and couldnt thank BH enough! Venue Service By Jay & Marie, on 21 Jun 2019Date of Wedding - 05 Jan 2018 From start to finish everything was well organised, carried out very efficiently, and with so much friendliness & support.

The coordinators were wonderful, the duty managers very organised, and our master of ceremonies was perfectly timed and considerate to our needs. We had a perfect day and couldn’t thank the staff enough. Prev Page 1 of 2 Next
