Meet the team

Hi, I’m Lisa — the one behind the emails and the table plans, and the person who will likely take the most photos at your wedding. I’m the Wedding & Events Coordinator here at Durham Masonic Hall, and I absolutely love what I do.
We’re not a huge venue, and that’s exactly why I think our couples love us. We’re small, we’re personal, and we care — a lot. We don’t host 5 weddings a day or rush you out the door for the next booking. When you book with us, the entire building is yours, and you’re not just another date in the diary — you're someone we genuinely get excited about.
Every couple is different, and I’m here to help you have your day, your way. We don’t do rigid packages or “one size fits all” — I’m here to help you plan something that feels right for you.
I know weddings can feel overwhelming (so many decisions!), but I’ll be here throughout to help you, keep it fun, and make sure you don’t miss anything important — like what time the bar closes (11.30pm if you’re wondering!).
So if you’re looking for a venue that’s beautiful, historic, and filled with heart — come and visit us. I’ll show you around and we can talk all things weddings. I can’t wait to meet you.
With love,
Lisa x
