The best wedding
Wow our wedding here was out of this world, everything ran so smoothly and nothing was a bother. The place is absolutely beautiful. We had the best night and all of our guests did too. The food was amazing probably the best food I've seen at a wedding. The grounds kept the kids entertained and everything was magical. Thank you beamish for the best night wish I could do it all again

A great venue! Beautiful grounds with amazing staff, and very chef kiss food !
From the moment we first visited Beamish Hall, we knew it was something special. And we decided to go through.
We held both our traditional Nigerian wedding and our British reception here, and the venue exceeded our expectations in every way.
The grounds are stunning, the rooms are beautiful, and the staff were incredibly accommodating throughout the entire planning process.
Nothing was ever too much trouble, even when we made last-minute adjustments to room allocations and timings. The team remained professional, calm, and supportive throughout.
On the day itself, everything ran seamlessly. The venue provided the perfect setting for our Anglo-Nigerian wedding, allowing us to blend two cultures beautifully.
Our guests repeatedly commented on how gorgeous the venue was and how smoothly everything flowed.
A special thank you to the wedding team for helping create such a memorable experience. Seeing our vision come to life was truly magical, and we will always be grateful for the role Beamish Hall played in one of the most important days of our lives.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Beamish Hall to any couple looking for a stunning venue, excellent service, and a team that genuinely cares about making your wedding day unforgettable.
Shout out to Tony operations lead and Laura wedding coordinator lead- you did wonders for us and we are very grateful. 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Mr and Mrs James🩷🤍
From the moment we went to view Beamish Hall we knew this was the venue for us. The wedding coordinators are second to none, Charlotte showed us around the full venue and she was so thorough about the details. We booked it the same day we viewed it to secure our date, from then on all the staff at Beamish have been great and excellent with their communication with us no matter what kind of question I emailed over they always helped me out!
The day of the wedding was perfect the day couldn’t have went smoother, Molly our coordinator was fabulous she made me feel at such ease! It was honestly the best day of my life I wish I could do it all again, everyone has complimented how beautiful the food was! Myself and my husband are quite regular visitors of the stables.
We just want to thank you all again and encourage anyone who’s planning a wedding to book Beamish Hall!

Best day of our lives
From our very first meeting we knew Beamish was the venue for us. The grounds are just breathtaking and you can see how much work goes into this as soon as you enter the gates and all of the rooms are just stunning.
We had the best day of our lives!! 😁💗🥂It was truly magical in every way and the day ran like clockwork even on the hottest day of the year 😎with the organisation, dedication and commitment from staff.
It was a perfect celebration with all of our family and friends 💕and all of our guests and ourselves had a fantastic day. We can’t wait to return for our anniversaries.

Wedding of the Year!!
There are not enough words to describe how amazing our wedding express with Beamish Hall! We were blown away from the minute we visited the venue as a potential wedding venue to walking down the aisle on our wedding morning. A big shout out to the wedding team who were exceptional, beamish extras who could not do enough for us and decorated every room to perfection, to the catering team who made the most delicious meals and our wedding master of ceremonies who kept us right on the day!! Nothing was too much when we asked, staff were always smiling, were attentive and every member of staff from the cleaners, Stables restaurant waitresses, to the receptionists and bar staff made our day so memorable!! Beamish Hall you will always have a special place in our hearts 💕 💕

Amazing Day
Got married 17th May 2026 and it was fantastic and very professional, from start to finish the team knew what they were doing (because we didn't and we're very nervous), food was amazing and they are very friendly and welcoming with a person centred approach. We can't fault them, thank you for making our day so special

Making our dream wedding come true!
From start to finish, the team at Beamish were exceptional in helping us organise our special day. We immediately knew we wanted to have our wedding at Beamish when we visited the stunning grounds and noted that packages include exclusive use of the main rooms, which was something we prioritised. We had frequent communication with Beamish and the wedding team are just brilliant people. We ended up having a baby by the time our wedding arrived and I cannot praise staff enough for how they facilitated a change in our circumstances and ensured we were all comfortable but also that we were able to relax and enjoy our day. In particular, Jasmine and Debbie were so patient and went above and beyond to accommodate our little one. These two lovely ladies really helped us on the wedding day!
We used Besmish Extras for our decor and again, we have nothing but praise for their attention to detail.
You will be in competent hands (in a breath taking venue) if you have your wedding at Beamish!

A fairytale wedding!
We had the best day ever at Beamish Hall on 10th April. The venue was stunning, the staff couldn’t have done more for us, and the food was incredible. The day ran so smoothly and we loved being able to use all the different rooms for different parts of the wedding! Our guests said it was the most chilled wedding they’d been to. We wish we could do it all again!

A seamless day enjoyed by us all!
Our day was nothing short of outstanding at Beamish Hall.
Rosanna looked after us from time of arrival (the night before for some of the wedding party) until the meal started on the wedding day. Rosanna was calm and professional and was there if we needed anything, thank goodness she was there to adjust the train on my dress before I walked down the aisle!
The decorations at the venue were arranged via Beamish Extras (an on site company). The venue was exactly how I imagined, even better!
All staff we encountered on the day were so polite and professional and do their job to the highest level to make everyone feel looked after. That was from the cleaners on the morning, to reception team and the waiting and bar staff.
The catering manager and his team made sure we were happy with the room set ups before the guests arrived and nothing could be faulted. The meal was outstanding and everyone commented how delicious and plentiful their choices were.
Would I recommend Beamish Hall to other potential brides and grooms…100%. It was the day of our dreams and we couldn’t have wished for a better venue.
