What a beautiful place to get hitched. The Willows team couldn't do enough for us, from the quick response throughout and the attention to detail on the day, not to mention the delishious food also, no wonder they have won awards for the best wedding venue, staff and food. They went above and beyond to accommodate us, especially as we sprung it on them with our love of Starwars and involvement at cost to do there first themed wedding at the Willows. We were more than excited to share it all with them and them us. Thankyou to the Willows team for pulling it out of the bag and giving us an amazing day. The best day of our lives. We will be forever grateful and love yous all. X -

The Willows was exactly what I wanted. Filled with rustic items,greenery and chandeliers. Nothing was to much for this team of professionals. The food was outstanding and portions huge. The venue was clean and all staff couldn't do enough for you. Any ideas/changes welcome. The day can be as big or as intermit as you like. Highley recommend this venue my guests adored it. -

From start to finish Fiona and the team were incredible. No question was too silly to ask and no email was a trouble to reply to when I was having a flap about the little things.
We had a small and intimate wedding in the Seedling room which was perfect for our 30 guests. From start to finish everything was perfect, I could not of wished for a better day. The food was to die for, the staff were amazing and everyone enjoyed themselves on the day.
I even said to my husband the next day can we do it all over again as it was just everything we dreamt off!
This is one place that will always have a place in our hearts as we are not from the area as we live the midlands so being welcomed in was incredible
If you book this venue you will not be disappointed.

October 2024 Halloween Wedding
We got married at the stunning Willows at The Woodmans on Halloween 2024, and couldn’t recommend this venue any more if we tried! We viewed eight other wedding venues before we immediately walked into The Willows and knew it was the one for us!
It has a perfect central location with ample parking for guests and beautifully decorated rooms/bridal suite for the day of and night before the wedding. The venue is already stunningly decorated throughout which really helps keep additional costs of styling/venue dressing to a minimum. Both the ceremony room and main hall areas have a lot of character, atmosphere and warmth to them whilst still making it possible to style it to your own theme/vision so it ‘isn’t the same as everyone else’s’.
The Willows offer extremely competitively priced wedding packages, which pretty much have everything you could think of incorporated into them. There are no hidden costs. This was worlds apart from some other well known North East venues we viewed who were charging additional costs for the smallest of things - as well as saying a flat NO to the simplest of requests such as changing toast drink types. But not at The Willows! Any extras we wanted to add, or ideas we had for our day/night, were not a problem to the Wedding Team and they consistently worked with us to make our wedding day unique and individual to us.
The food (canapés, wedding breakfast and evening food) was stunning and highly complimented by everyone. The menu to choose from prior to sending invitations is vast and there really is something for everyone. Every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. If you’re unsure, just try the award winning food at The Woodmans Arms next door and you’ll instantly know what we mean!!
The Wedding Team are second to none. Very responsive to emails, organising meetings and regular check ins, always being on hand to help with any issues, I.e. supplier recommendations, and making sure the day/night runs smoothly. They are all very experienced, friendly and clearly good at what they do. This shone through in their professionalism, commitment to helping us with our wedding planning and showing a genuine interest in our ideas/themes. We loved Fiona in particular!!
Thank you for making our day so special! Xx

22.02.2024. The best day ever
We can’t thank Fiona and the girls enough for our fabulous day.
We had a small number of guests but we were made to feel just as important as any large wedding.
From start to end the process was brilliant, no fuss and no worries.
Venue is amazing, food is outstanding, staff are superb, we honestly couldn’t have asked for more.
Massive thank you to Kirsty who did a fantastic job with keeping the day going and just being a wonderful person in general.
We highly recommend choosing The Willows for your big day if you are in the North East, you will fall in love with the venue and make memories that will last a lifetime and have people talking about your big day for years to come.
Thank you so much for making our day!

Just Wow! We got married the The Willows on 18/11/23. The Willows is the most beautiful venue and flows so well on the day. Kayleigh and her team were totally amazing and went above and beyond throughout our wedding day, I cant thank her enough for keeping me calm when I arrived late and the bottom of my dress was filthy, Kayleigh was on her hands and knees, along with a couple of amazing members of staff scrubbing away. Everything about our day was just magical and that is down to the beautiful venue and all the amazing staff at The Willows. If we could do our wedding day all over again, we would do it in an instant and without question, we would pick The Willows as our venue of choice. We have had so many positive comments on our wedding day and venue. We highly recommend The Willows.
Kayleigh and team, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Our special day was all we dreamed of and more. Kika and Trev xxx -

A perfect wedding day
We had the most amazing day from start to finish. The venue is absolutely stunning, the food is amazing and the staff are fantastic. We had so many positive comments from our guests. I would like to say a huge thank you to our wedding planners who made the whole process so easy (and for fixing my wedding dress when the strap snapped!).
If we could choose any venue in the country to redo our wedding, we'd still choose this one! -
