About

Just across the river at Newcastle upon Tyne, in the heart of Gateshead, The Spire is a Grade 2 listed converted church. Brand new for 2024, this unique venue has all of the character and romance you would expect—full of timeless charm, historic architecture, and modern elegance.

At this church, your ceremony doesn't have to be religious—the venue is looking to become fully licensed for civil ceremonies, accommodating up to 100 daytime and 150 evening guests. Say 'I do' under the stunning original low beams on the top floor of the building, with views across the city.

Our experienced wedding team will work with you to create the day of your dreams, from formal fine dining to laid-back luxury. With packages for weekend dates in 2025, we'd love to meet you to show you around this iconic space.

Beautiful interior

You enter through a small arched doorway which leads you to polished concrete staircase, stainless steel handrails and glass sides. Large arched stone windows. Very pretty suits our aesthetic perfectly
There are two spaces here to use. The first is large, beautiful wooden floors, tall stone, arched windows and sandstone columns. Function room has a small stage area and a full bar.
The top floor has beautiful wooden beams gorgeous floor a large wall of Windows facing the river Tyne. We absolutely loved it. We are planning to use a celebrant and then have a Kaylee
