Honestly just perfect!

We've recently been married in Shotton Grange and it was everything we wanted and more! Emma dealt with us from start to finish and she couldn't have been more helpful and lovely. Emma ensured every detail was discussed and even reminded us of things we hadn't thought of yet. Rachel then dealt with our big day and she was equally as amazing, ensuring the day ran smoothly and as perfect as we wanted. The food!! Wow, the food was amazing and our guests thought so too. We loved that our guests had the choice of food and it all ran so smoothly even with people eating different dishes. Honestly our day was perfect for us and that's thanks to Shotton Grange. The venue and grounds are beautiful and one guest even commented 'I could stay here for a week'. We cannot thank you all enough! If you're thinking about booking, do it!! X

Small intimate wedding

We got married at shotton grange last month and we honestly could not recommend this venue any more. We had a very small intimate wedding of only 18 people, shotton made a bespoke package for us. The day literally could not have been more perfect it was so relaxed in the most beautiful grounds and then chilled with the fire pits on the night time.
The staff at the venue are absolutely fantastic, Emma was our coordinator who helped us plan everything, she was amazing. The response to emails are so fast usually same day response. Claire was there on our wedding day she was so lovely and helped everything run smoothly.
I cannot recommend this venue enough they are amazing and are very reasonably priced. Food was phenomenal all of our guests commented how nice the food was.
Thank you shotton grange for making our day so perfect despite having the rainiest day of the year! 🤍

simply amazing

What can we say!!

We had the most perfect wedding day at Shotton Grange.

Right from the beginning when we were viewing venues we knew Shotton Grange would be for us.

The whole place is beautiful. It’s set back in a manor house with ample room inside and out.
There are gorgeous gardens with a wonderful fountain (perfect for pictures) and little hidden areas where guests can congregate.

The rooms were stunning , they were spacious, fully equipped with showers and amenities and beautifully decorated. They were also reasonably priced.

Overall we fell in love with the venue as soon as we set eyes on it and the personalised approach from the staff sealed the deal.

Leading up to the day the staff were amazing , you could tell they loved their jobs and were excited to help us plan the day. They kept us informed throughout the process and even helped out with suggestions when we felt out of our depth. Their experience really shone through.


Finally on the day of the wedding the staff on site were invaluable. The day was always going to have a few hiccups but they took the pressure and strain from us so we could really enjoy the day with our friends and family. No ask was too big or small and they really went the extra mile.

I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for an affordable but beautiful wedding

Thank you so much
Emma, Mark and Oliver

The most perfect day!

Staff were just out of this world! From planning to the actual day we could not fault them at all! The venue speaks for itself with how beautiful it is! We had around 50 guests for daytime and 70 for evening and I can say the venue size seemed to be perfect for this!
The food was amazing!! Clean plates all around and couldn’t get enough of it!
I miss my wedding day already and would do it all over again with the exact same venue!

Best day of our lives!

Shotton Grange met all of our expectations and more! From the minute we booked I felt at ease with the planning process as Emma was so on hand with everything. Nothing was ever to much trouble and she was always there to answer any questions no matter how silly they were! On the day itself it was a lovely touch that Emma was there to say hello as I made my way to the aisle. All staff were absolutely amazing, everything flowed perfectly and that’s all down to their hard work on the day. We are so appreciative of everyone’s efforts the staff are amazing. Aswell as the staff Shotton Grange is stunning, the grounds are beautiful and it’s the perfect sized venue. We are so glad we picked this venue for our special day. It was absolutely beautiful!

The perfect wedding venue!

Getting married at Shotton Grange was easily one of the best wedding planning decisions we made. From discovering this hidden gem when diving into the depths of Google Maps for North East wedding venues, we instantly knew this venue was the one for us. It had everything we hoped for and more - from the exclusivity of the venue, to its beautiful gardens and decor, all the natural light and even the duck breast main! The venue ticked every box, added extra boxes, and then ticked those.

Emma, our Wedding Coordinator, was fantastic from start to finish. We had MANY questions and she was there for them all. Communication was out of this world throughout - 99% of all emails were responded to within 24 hours. Whenever Emma wasn’t available (which seemed very rarely the case!), another member of the team would swiftly pick up our emails. If you want to be fully in control of your day with everyone kept in the loop, Shotton Grange (or their sister venues), is the venue you need.

Rachel, our Master of Ceremonies, and all the on-the-day team were amazing. The whole day ran so smoothly and we were able to just spend the day as Bride and Groom. The day flowed beautifully from one stage to the next, and everything was as we'd envisioned in the planning.

From our private venue tour right up until the day after our wedding, Shotton Grange has been a delight. The initial, halfway and final meetings that took place were very helpful to us - we never felt rushed in the meetings or to make any decisions on the wedding, they helped us to generate ideas on what we wanted from the day, and on top of that, we were able to spend more time with our lovely venue in the lead up. The menu tasting night and supplier open days were also great, and we even visited the venue for our Valentine’s Day meal which was fantastic.

We hope to visit again in the future, whether that be for one of their events, another wedding, or to host another event of our own.

Wonderful venue

Shotton were the most spectacular hosts. They went out of their way to make us feel like the most special people on our big day. They carefully ensured that every plan we had was meticulously followed, and everything went to plan, and then some! The best day our lives hosted by the best team.

The best day of our lives

Shotton Grange made our whole wedding experience very easy, uncomplicated and very special!
Right from when we first booked Shotton Grange, the process felt seamless and very personal to us. One of the reasons we chose Shotton Grange in the first place was because they appreciated that every couple is different, and that they would help us achieve what we wanted specifically. Throughout the whole process Emma was wonderful, easy to contact and replied quickly and in a helpful and friendly manner. No question was a stupid question and she made us feel at ease - as for a lot of it we were clueless! Rachel, our wedding coordinator on the day- was absolutely amazing. Despite it pouring the hole day of the wedding, I didn't even realise because Rachel had changed everything to fit with the weather accordingly. She asked our opinion on things throughout the day in a non-pushy or obtrusive manner. More importantly she made us both feel very special, and not like we were the hosts. I didn't feel stressed once during the day.
All our guests commented to say what a wonderful wedding it was, and we also received many compliments on the food.
I can't thank Shotton Grange enough for making our day so magical.

Lovely Wedding Reception Venue

After my husband and I got married in our village church we headed over to Shotton Grange for our wedding reception. It was the most lovely day! We had around 50 day guests and a few extra evening guests.

Having private access to the whole venue was perfect and was one of the major advantages and reasons we chose Shotton Grange - it meant that everyone on-site was there for only our wedding and it allowed us to avoid random strangers and/or guests from other weddings accidentally gatecrashing.
We also liked that there was a good menu selection for both the wedding breakfast meal and also the evening food. We enjoyed attending the menu food tasting evening, during the planning process, and we liked the fact we got to pick 3 options per course from the menu so we could then offer a choice for our guests.

The grounds were very pretty. Initially we were a little concerned about the road noise from the motorway as it was quite loud when we visited for an open day but on the actual wedding day we didn’t really think about it and once the evening music started it masked it anyways.

Having the extra side rooms like the Snug, the Lounge and Drawing room in the Manor House, in addition to the Coach House, was very useful! The layout of the venue allowed us to set up various evening entertainment like a casino table and photobooth in the Manor House whilst the live music and DJ were in the Coach House!

The venue has decent sized bathrooms - particularly useful when the bride has a large skirt and needs hers bridesmaids’ assistance haha.

There is a reasonably sized, private (and free) car park on-site which was very useful for our wedding guests.

Shotton Grange has several bedrooms and this allowed the option for our guests to book onsite accommodation if they wished to do so. My bridesmaids and a few other wedding guests stayed onsite the night of the wedding and enjoyed breakfast the morning after.

We appreciated that Shotton offers optional add-ons and extras. We decided to have a few canapés during the drinks receptions - they were tasty and did the trick to tide us and our guests over before the wedding breakfast.

As someone who doesn’t really drink alcohol and we had a few of guests who don’t drink alcohol, Shotton has a good range of non-alcohol alternatives, which I particularly was impressed with.

The venue has a good drinks menu and has 2 bars which was good for guests getting served. Whilst the venue does not offer corkage, there were various drinks packages available- we opted for one of these and our guests really enjoyed the extra beer and Prosecco! We also added on a cheese and meat board, patio heaters, fire pit tables and fire pit - which were great during the evening reception!

The events team were very friendly, professional and brilliant to work with throughout the planning process and on the day of. They answered all our questions and were quick with their email response times! They were very accommodating when trying to arrange our meeting dates as well as allowed us to set up and decorate the Coach House the day before the wedding (since there were no other events scheduled for that day). In addition, the contract and planning documents that we were sent, which were discussed in the meetings, were very thorough and helpful during the planning process.

Amongst our wedding guests, there were several allergies/dietary restrictions. The events team and kitchen took these seriously and handled, managed and communicated these well with us.

We also appreciated that in the brochure everything was itemised, prices were all clear and upfront and there were no hidden costs.

Overall, we are very pleased we chose Shotton Grange for our wedding reception venue!

Best day ever

What a day, the location is superb,beautiful setting. Gardens are lovely. We had done away with any wedding day formalities apart from the actual ceremony,which was conducted outside in the garden. We wanted to create a summer party vibe & we achieved that. The canapés were outstanding, the pizza & hog roast both brilliant,so many guests complimented us on the food choices. The whole place was filled with fun, laughter & love,we couldn’t of asked for more… Brilliant day…

Amazing in every way

We had our day at shotton grange on 24th May and we could not have asked for a more perfect day, all thanks to the amazing Emma and Alison!!
Emma was so helpful during the planning process, she was quick to respond to any questions we had and left no detail out. Alison was our master of ceremonies for the day and she was amazing! So professional yet friendly, made everyone feel at ease and couldn’t do enough for us on the day. My sister even got stung by a bee and Alison was so helpful in sorting her out.
The venue is absolutely beautiful and all of our guests were beaming and telling us how stunning it was, even rain couldn’t dampen our day!!
The food is DELICIOUS by the way😉
We went with AMV live DJ recommended by the venue and he was amazing, had everyone up dancing all night

We can’t thank the team at Shotton Grange enough for helping us plan the perfect wedding and then making it a reality🤍🤍🤍

Shotton Grange April 2024

We held our wedding reception at Shotton Grange in April and had the most perfect day. Communication was excellent, the staff were so responsive to emails and the whole process was seamless from day one. Nothing was too much trouble and the advice we received was so helpful in planning our day. A big thank you to Emma who guided us through the process and was so lovely. The day itself was so special, and we must mention Roseann who greeted us from our ceremony and was wonderful throughout the day making sure everything went perfectly. All of the staff were excellent, and so friendly - they make the venue even more special. Our food was delicious, and our guests with food allergies were catered for brilliantly. The grounds are stunning and the house itself is beautiful, our guests loved being able to stay overnight and enjoy breakfast the next day.

We are so pleased we picked Shotton Grange and can’t recommend the venue enough. Thank you so much!

The day we would most love to relive ❤️

From initially walking into the Shotton Grange bubble to leaving as Mr & Mrs the entire journey was faultless. We could not have asked for more from the entire team or venue and would recommend anyone starting out on their wedding adventure to have Shotton Grange at the top of their list!
