Wedding to remember

I absolutely loved my wedding day, it didn't matter how many different ideas I had the staff had me covered every step of the way. Very attentive on replies or if I needed anything on the day.
I thoroughly enjoyed my wedding day and I hope I can persuade anyone else to go ahead and book your dream wedding with holiday inn.

Outstanding venue

From meeting the team at holiday inn to our wedding day we had support to make our dream day come true, Sianne is amazing and goes out of her way to ensure your dream comes true and Chris who leads the day makes sure the day runs smoothly. One of the best venues we have been to for a wedding and all of our guests were amazed with the day, the room is done to a high standard and nothing is a problem to change. I would highly recommend to be married here

Mr and Mrs Baldwin

I honestly couldn't recommend the holiday inn enough. The organisation and helping me keep on track right upto the day was on point. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. For what is supposed to be the most stressful time was just a complete breeze no stress at all for our big day thanks to all the staff. The Venue was beautiful the decor, the way we were informed of every step absolutly amazing. Food was unreal I had a very fussy bunch of guests and they all enjoyed it no complaints even from my fussiest of guests. Best day/night.

Claire and Philip Maughan wedding 18/04/26

Our wedding went brilliantly, we chose the ruby evening package after having our ceremony elsewhere. It was brilliant value for money with extra options to add on, we added on a sweet table which was a big hit with all ages. The Beamish room was decorated beautifully with our choice of colours in balloons and chair sashes. From the moment of first enquiry until the end of our wedding night we were looked after very well with all needs met and ensured everything was how we wanted it and ran smoothly. All staff were very friendly and helpful and interacted well with our guests and the children. Our choices of buffet food was large and diverse and thoroughly enjoyed by all our guests highly rating how nice it was. Would highly recommend choosing The Holiday Inn Washington for all wedding packages.

Get it booked!!!!

We got married at the Holiday Inn Washington on 18th October 2025.
It was THE BEST DAY of our lives! Everything ran so smoothly from start to finish with no awkward gaps while the room was turned around after the ceremony for the wedding breakfast then the disco! The room was absolutely beautiful. The staff went above and beyond to make our day so memorable. Every guest commented on how great the whole day was. The ceremony was emotional, the food was delicious and the disco was fantastic!!!
We’re so pleased we went for this venue, it was everything we wanted and more.
Big shout out to SiAnne (the wedding planner), Chris (the manager), the lovely lady who was like my bag security on the night ( I kept putting it down and losing it🥴, and she would appear with it😁), the two DJ’s, and every other person who made our day so very special!!! Thank you all❤️
So don’t even think about it, just get it booked!
You won’t regret it!

Wedding august 2025!

Our wedding day was nothing but perfect! The staff were amazing from beginning to end! Planning to the big day! Every detail was perfect. Organisation and preparation was top tier.
The rooms were decorated to match our colour scheme and they looked amazing. Full room dressage was all included within the price! We added our personalised extras as our personalised touch but the hotel staff done an amazing job of making the rooms look out of this world
We had children at our wedding and the staff even helped with the children and they were amazing with them. Food, rooms, the beamish suite, literally everything was beautiful! Anything we needed or asked was never a problem and attended to promptly.

Would definatly recommend booking your wedding here! You will get a 5 star service *****

Amazing venue

We had our wedding here on the 2/10/2025, from first contact with Sianne nothing was ever too much for her, she made sure the day was how we wanted it. Chris who was the master of ceremony was absolutely lovely and basically held our hand all day, Onya was amazing throughout the day and even took our little boy off us while we could eat, nothing was too much trouble. Would recommend the venue time and time again.

We’d get married again!

We were looking for a venue that would accommodate being married elsewhere and have the afternoon meal and evening do in. The Holiday Inn at Washington absolutely delivered 110%! Firstly, Sianne is an amazing person, nothing is any trouble to arrange, bringing your ideas to life, listening to your needs and any concerns you have. Chris, Lauren, Paul, Vikash and Oana are amazing too and a total credit to your hotel. The price was mind blowing, the quality of the food we received was outstanding, and the organisation was incredible, we really didn’t have anything to worry about and it was totally stress free. The only sad thing is that we can’t do it again. If you’re looking for a venue, please pick The Holiday Inn at Washington, you won’t regret it, and we would do all again in a heartbeat 💓 if we could. Thank you to everyone for making our day the best! Mr & Mrs McMahon x

May 2025 wedding

From start to finish the team at Holiday Inn Washington have been fantastic. The whole process of planning our wedding was so easy and straightforward, Sianne was so friendly and helpful and nothing was a bother. She gave us recommendations for some of our suppliers and gave us lots of helpful tips to help with our planning. Each time we visited the hotel for a meeting we were greeted by very friendly staff who offered us a drink and the atmosphere was always very calming. Our wedding day went perfectly, our toast master Chris was great and took care of everything, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. All of the staff were very attentive to us and our guests. We hadn’t considered the Holiday Inn as a wedding venue when we were first looking but we are so glad we paid a visit and booked, we would highly recommend them as a venue for your wedding! The package we booked was great value for money, wedding in a box, this covered a lot of what we needed and took the stress away from us. Thank you to Sianne, Chris and all the team at Holiday Inn Washington for giving us a wonderful experience in the run up to our wedding and on our wedding day.
