Venue Service By Mr & Mrs Irvine, on 07 Nov 2016Date of Wedding - 28 May 2016 Thank you so much for all your hard work making our wedding day so perfect. The day went exactly as we were planning and was everything we were hoping it would be. Thank you also for your flexibility in the planning and helping to make it a unique occasion.Johnathon & Kerrys Wedding March 2015 Venue Service By Kerry Patterson, on 13 Jul 2015I would absolutely recommend the museum as a wedding venue, it looked perfect and far outweighed any venue we had seen. We hired the large Exhibition room for the actual ceremony, reception and evening, the staff at Woodhorn made the room look absolutely amazing! The staff are so helpful and cant do enough for you, the event coordinator we had was great and was willing to help and support every step of the way. I really did feel that our wedding was really special, the venue had so much character that we didn't feel we would get with a Hotel. A lot of our guests commented on how beautiful the room and venue looked and some actually said they thought it was the nicest wedding they had been too. I would recommend the venue to anyone who wants something a little bit different on their special day!
