Hidden Gem in Darlington
Our wedding day went without a hitch. The venue went above and beyond to ensure we were happy and comfortable all day. No request was too much throughout the day and during the run up. The secret garden is a beautiful addition for a sunny outdoor wedding but even the options inside the hotel were newly refurbished and great options should the weather turn. We selected the hotel as the value for money was exceptional at a package level and we found no other hotel locally offered the package level Hall Garth do. The rooms for guests require a refurb but this is very much in their pipeline and being worked on. We used the library to get ready which was a great space, plenty of room and right near the restaurant for something to eat. The team at hall Garth are fantastic, if I could do it again… I’d change nothing!-

Our Wedding June 2025
We celebrated our wedding in June 2025. What an amazing day. The staff were excellent and helpful to us at all times during our day.
From when we decided to have our wedding here nothing was a problem they understood our needs, as we had an intermediate wedding of 21 people.
I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone thinking of getting married here whether it is a small or large wedding, they suit everyone's budget.
Thank you Maria and Stephen

The Wilkinson Wedding - 09.08.2025
We booked our venue with Hall Garth 2 years before our wedding. Over the past 2 years to the date we couldn’t have been more happy with Kellie and the team for everything they done to make our day one to always remember. When asking any questions whether is was about the package, the drinks, food or accommodation the communication was always responded fairly quickly. From a budget perspective we were overall very happy. If anything we were under budget which was even better. The package we paid for was worth the money, everything we got included was amazing. Overall the venue was decorated with help from vendors exactly the way we planned. The company wedding breakfast was 10/10 the drinks were to everyone’s taste. The views of the hotel that being inside and the outdoor grounds was simply gorgeous. We would 1000% recommend couples to book their weddings with Hall Garth.
The Wilkinsons!-

17/09/2023
Myself and my husband got married here on 17/09/2023 after our previous dates had been cancelled due to covid! Thankfully the hotel were brilliant with us throughout the covid times and were always supportive changing dates without to much trouble. When we first booked we dealt with a lady called Kelly who was lovely, but i beleive she left and afterwards we dealt with two ladies Vicky & Emily who were both a asset to the HallGarth team. Vicky led our day and we couldnt have done it without her, she was very informative and kept us updated with everything that was happening. Everyone complitmented the food we had no complaints there. The only thing a few of our guests approached me with afterwards was that the bedrooms needed some TLC which i do agree on apart from that no concerns at all. -

Wedding day perfection
We had the perfect wedding at the Hallgarth and we really liked that the inside and the outside of the venue was gorgeous. We chose to get married in the Secret Garden and it was something different and special to other venues we had viewed. All of our guests thought it was fantastic too. The team couldn't do enough for us and remained in touch throughout the wedding planning process. It was also handy having spacious accommodation to get ready in and plenty of good value rooms for our guests. We would definitely recommend getting married here. -

Susan & Paul's Wedding Oct 7th 2023 Hallgarth Golf & Country Club Hotel
From booking the Hallgarth to the wedding day and afterwards, the events manager Emily and wedding co-ordinator Vicky and their team including the receptionist Mandy were very professional and helpful throughout the weekend. They all went above and beyond to ensure our special day went without a hitch (apart from us). It was the perfect venue for our wedding they had it all from the incredible food and the grounds which were perfect for our guests and photographs. -

Perfect wedding!
The entire experience was perfect! The day flowed so well and we felt like we still had control over our day but had all the support we needed. The only thing I would say is the DJ caused some of our guests to leave as they didn’t know any of the songs and our guests also said their requests they requested the DJ didn’t have. Also the communication at the start seemed clear from what we were saying but not being understood at Hall Garth’s side by the first girl we were being served by and then was made to feel like “I didn’t know what I wanted” when I did and I made it obvious. The two ladies that helped us in the end were clear and understood everything we stated. Guests complained the carrot on the meal was too tough but besides that they said the day was perfect! So thank you again Hall Garth - I would definitely recommend but I wouldn’t recommend your DJ…(as an example we asked for Last Resort - Papa Roach, he didn’t have that song so he played Broken Home - Papa Roach which is not a song we want at a wedding and definitely not a song we didn’t know, we would of rather just not had the song at all, how did he not have the most popular song but had a song no one knew?). Plates were a little dirty on the morning breakfast and I think the honeymoon suite could do with a little TLC. But the lady who managed our wedding on the day of and day after, we couldn’t of asked anymore of her. She was amazing!! -
