Simply perfect

We booked our wedding at the Parlour at Blagdon 2 years prior our day, all staff was professional, responsive and friendly every time we had questions or requests, they also make any effort possible to agree with some of my requests that have been different than usual wedding, they were amazing on everything during the organisation. The day of the wedding it was something extraordinary, if till that moment we were already happy and confident that everything will be perfect, the day of the wedding they really increased our expectations, everything was more than perfect, the food was amazing and well presented, the staff was super in every sense, nothing went wrong during the day, we couldn't ask for nothing better than this. We are very happy for choosing The Parlour at Blagdon as location for our wedding on the 22/05/2025 and we really recommend this place to everyone, thank you so much to all the staff because our wedding was amazing and perfect.

The best day of our life

It’s hard to put into words just how much we enjoyed our wedding at The Parlour. The whole thing from start to finish was outstanding, all due to the professionalism, dedication and sheer hard work by the staff of The Parlour. Nothing was too much right to the very end of the day when we retired to the immaculate accommodation and they continued with their duties. We were met the next morning with a full and hearty breakfast before departing. Everyone and I mean everyone sang their praises for the arrangements, the outstanding food and service. I don’t intend to marry again but at breakfast we did discuss our first wedding anniversary celebrations and decided on a venue - The Parlour.

Our wedding at The Parlour, Blagdon

My partner and I were married at the Parlour at the end of March this year and couldn’t recommend it enough.
Whilst planning the wedding we met with Naomi and more recently Toyah and they’re absolutely wonderful at helping you plan your day and making sure everything runs smoothly.
The food on the day was absolutely incredible and we received so many compliments from guests about the food and how beautiful the venue was.
Can’t remember the name of the lady who was coordinator on the day of our wedding (she did have light blonde hair) but we couldn’t recommend her enough, she was absolutely amazing at talking us through the day and ensuring that everything ran smoothly. The full event ran smoothly and we couldn’t fault anything, everyone went above and beyond to make the day special.
The bridal suite and dressing room were so beautiful and spacious and look great since the refurbishments.
We couldn’t recommend the place and the staff enough, they truly were great in making our wedding day special x

Where to start, we fell in love with this venue from the initial show around we knew we wanted to get married here all the contact for the venue was dealt throught the brilliant sale team who help us with all our questions and enquiries once the day of the wedding come all the amazing staff were to there to help with anything that we needed would just like to say a big hats off to the chefs the food was amazing and especially they accommodated us especially me and my husband who are really fussy Eaters all our guests complimented the food how brilliant it was especially the wood fire pizzas they were to die for. We had an outside area they had heaters to keep our guests warm especially for a cold January wedding I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone who is looking to book it is stunning

Amazing Venue

The Parlour in Blagdon is one of the best places to get married in Northumberland full stop. The staff are professional, fastidious and very quick to respond.

The flexibility was amazing. Me and my partner requested a BBQ meal in November (in the snow no less) and they were able to provide, as well as looking after our pooch during the ceremony.

The food was absolutely amazing with both the daytime and evening food blowing us away and we'd consider ourselves foodies. The evening entertainment was excellent too with the DJ willing to accomodate the various music tastes at the party.

The price was also VERY generous considering we'd seen venues half as good charge over 3 times the price. Its an absolute steal of a location and I would recommend this place to ANYONE who wants a nice venue.

Unbeatable

From the day we viewed the venue right until checking out the day after our wedding there was nothing that was ever too much. The staff are friendly, professional, kind, thoughtful, attentive and something we hadn’t found with other viewed venues the staff are honest - if something isn’t going to look right or be right for you not only will they say that but they’ll help you make it better and find a way to make it work. We are in awe of the job this venue and there staff did and will never stop recommending them to everyone we possibly can.

Our November wedding

We got married in November 24 and had the most amazing day! Thank you so much to Naomi for putting up with our endless questions and for putting us at ease on the lead up to our day! Max was amazing on the day and really helped calm our nerves, thank you for being a part of our day! The venue was beautiful as was the food, our guests were so impressed with everything and all of the little details. The grounds were perfect for taking pictures and the bridal suite was a perfect place to get ready and take a moment before the day. The resident dj and the rest of the staff on the day were absolutely lovely! We look back at our day with such fondness and the venue was a big part of it!

Excellent from start to finish!

We couldn't fault The Parlour, they made the whole wedding process hassle free. From the package we bought to the three pre wedding meetings (sometimes you only get one from a venue) nothing was too much trouble.

We're also wedding photographers and know what wedding days can be like and they made it stress free, even down to decorating the venue the night before.

We loved that you could make the day your own. There's nothing restrictive but if you need guidance, they're there to ask for help!

The venue itself is beautiful and exactly what we wanted (intimate, yet not too small). We had less than 40 people but it never felt empty or that we were missing anything.

We couldn't recommend them enough!

Perfect from start to finish

Where do I even start? i booked the Parlour 4 years ago for my wedding on 26th October and fell in love with the venue straight away. It was a wet and rainy day but the atmosphere of the venue was perfect. Over the years the Parlour has undergone loads of changes all of which I've loved. I've had loads of queries and chopped and changed my mind with things but everyone has been so helpful, supportive and nothing short of brilliant. We had the most perfect day with family and friends saying just how fantastic everything. The food was perfect and have had so many compliments. Special thank you to Naomi for answering the many many questions I've had over the years, Roxanne for getting the venue sorted in the morning and supporting us girls and to Maxine who was just phenomenal on the day at keeping me right and checking that the mascara was staying in place!!

The biggest of thank yous ever, I really couldn't have wished for a better venue to host our wedding day. Anyone that is considering the Parlour, 100% book it.

The perfect venue!

After looking at a few venues we decided on the parlour at Blagdon and from the moment we arrived to first view the venue till we left the day after our wedding we were made to feel welcome, nothing we asked was too big of an ask and the amazing staff at the parlour went above and beyond to make our day everything we hoped for and more! The planning process was made so easy and relaxed, the night before staying in the beautiful house we were made to feel so welcome and at home and every minute of our big day we were looked after to the point where we didn’t have to think about anything but enjoying being in the moment!
We can’t thank the fantastic team at the parlour enough for making our day one we will never forget! X

Mr and Mrs Goldsmith 💕

Where do we start with just how amazing our experience with the parlour at blagdon has been from start to finish! The team were amazing during all the planning and small , personal details we wanted for our special day. Naomi was simply the best with everything we wanted help with and didn’t make us feel silly with any question big or small we had, we needed to change a few things closer to the day and this was done so smoothly we felt so at ease. On the day we had an issue with transport and the team once again were amazing, they made us feel at ease and calmed us from the stress as soon as we both arrived with bridal parties. We would like to especially thank Alison who was there at every moment we needed her, she was on the ball the whole day! She even made sure we had pizza and cake in our room to go back to after all our guests had left. The food was a solid 10/10 all day, we had a selection of starters, mains and desserts which we were an little unsure of doing as a few people told us it could go wrong when coming out to being served but the team had it all under control, all of our guests commented on the portion size and quality… simply amazing! Over all the parlour will hold a very special place in our hearts, thankyou 💕
