Reviews for Le Petit Chateau
Le Petit Chateau - Honest and few tips :)
During our initial visit, Tim provided a tour that truly set the tone for our special day. He added music to the tour, which made the ceremony chapel feel so real and emotional—this was a tipping point for us in deciding to book the venue.
Over the two years leading up to our wedding, we were paired with a few different wedding coordinators, ultimately finishing with Beth in the final year. Beth was incredibly helpful, replying promptly to our emails and supporting us as we finalized our plans. We met with her about 6-8 weeks before the wedding to run through the details, which was beneficial in visualising how the day would unfold and discussing décor.
On the day itself, everything ran perfectly from morning until the evening. Tim did an excellent job as the Master of Ceremonies, mingling with guests and ensuring everything flowed smoothly.
We had an amazing range of vendors that contributed to making our day so special, including:
• Hattie Murdock (Live Singer)
• Luke Howells (Magician)
• What Hannah Does (Live Artist)
• Luxury Vending (Ice-Creams)
• House of Sax (Band)
• Vegas Casino Hire (Roulette Table)
• Jellicoe Cake House (Cake)
• A trio of media: Gemma Summers Photography, Jolly Films, and Content and Confetti
All of them were fantastic and deserve a 5-star rating—we highly recommend each and every one!
Additionally, I had a fabulous glam team: Kate-Elizabeth Make-Up and Get A Grip Hairdressing, who made me feel amazing!
However, I would like to share a few points for future couples that we learned along the way:
• The menu choices aren’t as restricted as we initially thought; you can change flavours of desserts and opt for other options (like Parmos). We wish we had known this before sending out our invites and menu options.
• We communicated two weeks before the wedding that two guests would be dropping out, but unfortunately, nothing could be done about this. Be prepared to lose your money on meals, as we asked to use the cost for additional items (like shots on the table), but this wasn’t allowed. Make sure you are certain of your final numbers at least four weeks before the big day.
• We experienced an uncomfortable moment with the wedding manager, who discussed other couples in a negative manner, mentioning how she found other weddings boring (including one that was held the evening before ours). We found this very rude and raised our concerns via email, as I wouldn’t want another bride to feel as uncomfortable as I did around that staff member, wondering if I was being judged too.
• Don’t stress too much about the décor! The team is fantastic and runs weddings daily. They know what works and will help bring your vision to life. What you envision will become a beautiful reality!
• You’ve chosen your suppliers for a reason—trust their expertise! They are there to make your day special and will handle everything seamlessly .I stressed way more than was needed, everything works out!
• Breathe and Enjoy: Take a moment to breathe and soak it all in. The day will fly by, so make sure to enjoy every second!
Overall, we had a wonderful wedding experience and would recommend it to any couple looking for a beautiful venue with great support. Thank you to everyone who made our day so special!

Perfect venue
Alysha helped with all of the organisation and prep before the wedding and made sure we had absolutely everything covered. Our wedding coordinator on the day couldn't do enough to help us, nothing was too much trouble and the whole day ran seamlessly.
All of our guests had nothing but praise for the venue and the wonderful staff. I just wish we could do it all over again!
Jennison Wedding 14.5.24
Only thing I would say is the printer for the Photo Booth jammed a few times, with our guests coming to me to say it wasn’t working, so I took time out of my day to find staff, but otherwise couldn’t fault any other aspect.
Beth our wedding coordinator was faultless, Chloe and Tim on the day made us feel incredibly at ease and in safe hands.
Amazing venue! You forget you are in the UK
Contact on the run up was amazing, with even the smallest question answered pretty quickly. Rachel Spratt made the organising and planning those final details super easy! We arrived the evening before knowing everything would go smoothly and we would be taken care of.
On the day everyone was brilliant! We had Tia looking after us and no job was too big. Me and the girls stayed in the apartment the night before and spent the morning having a relaxing breakfast and getting ready. The day went exactly the way we had hoped, and with Tim on site all day he really made the wedding that much better! He is amazing with the guests, everyone thought he was so funny and he was always there to make sure everything was going well.
I can't thank the staff enough, and the entire venue was simply stunning. Everyone was blown away with the venue and we wish we could do it all over again.
Beautiful Wedding Day at Le Petit Chateau
Northumberland's hidden gem.
Overall, we can't think of anywhere else we would have gotten married, it was perfect for not only us but all our guests who were amazed by this stunning venue. Thank you again! Damon & Emily Wiltshire
Amazing wedding location
Wedding 21st October 2023
All of the staff were so attentive and helpful and I could not have asked for a better team to support me through the planning and on the day.
Also all the rooms were fabulous.
Utterly perfect!
From the minute we booked in 2021 to the moment we checked out on Thursday, it’s been everything we dreamt of!
All of our guests have none stopped complimented the venue, the food, the service, the rooms and all the staff in both the WDP and the LPC and we can do nothing more than agree.
We cannot thank you enough Beth for being there all day- for Soph especially, It was a sudden relief seeing your face in the apartment on the morning.
Saying that, yourself, Tia and James were all incredible- genuinely lovely people and we are so sad now that the planning is done. We’ve both felt nothing was too much, even when we did have bazar requests 😅
Thank-you so much again, I wish you all nothing but the sweet sweet best for the future 🧡
Love Mr & Mrs Stanton x x x
Amazing venue
Our ‘covid restricted’ perfect wedding day!
The staff at Le Petite Chateau (LPC) were accommodating at every stage!
Having postponed from April to September 2020, we were very nervous as the September date was looming.
The staff at LPC were amazing, keeping us updated every step of the way even with rules and guidelines changing daily (if not hourly!).
We can not be more grateful to the venue and suppliers for making our day just as we imagined if not better!
Our day ran seamlessly, we had drinks, meals, speeches, cut the cake and a first dance; yes it may have all been at a safe social distance but we were surrounded with our closest friends and family. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.
To any brides/ grooms/ couples that are wondering whether to postpone or go ahead, I promise you a “covid” wedding is not as scary as you would imagine, even with guests in masks! My advice would be to have honest discussions with your venue/ wedding co ordinator to ask how they will run the day, we were guided through how the day would look, and on paper it looked ‘normal’ even in the middle of a global pandemic! I’m so glad we chose to go ahead with our day.
