Your North East Wedding - January/February 2023 (Issue 54)

THE PARLOUR AT BLAGDON 01670 789935 | www.theparlouratblagdon.co.uk This venue, located within travelling distance of Newcastle, Gosforth, Alnwick and Morpeth, offers the perfect mix of elegance with a rustic feel. The grounds and courtyard create the ideal backdrop for your wedding images, such as the festoon lighting in the dusk – whatever you choose, there are several areas to get the best picture. What’s more, The Parlour at Blagdon’s new outdoor seating with heating, fire pit tables and comfy sofas, allows you to use the venue year round. Declare your commitment to one another in The Smithy, complete with feature stone walls and wooden beams with lighting draped between. With a capacity of 90 guests, there’s plenty of room for friends and family. If not choosing to wed in the winter, there’s also the option to say ‘we do’ in the courtyard, with the pagoda giving you yet another picture shot while tying the knot. Your drinks are then held in the newly-renovated Stables Bar, which opens an hour before your ceremony so guests can have a drink while they wait to be seated for your vows. The Willow Room is then perfect to enjoy your wedding breakfast with up to 90 friends and family, before an evening reception for 175. WEBSTERS ROPERY 0191 567 6950 | www.webstersropery.co.uk Websters Ropery, set on the bank of the River Wear, is a grade II listed building, built in 1793. Filled with an abundance of character, and once the world’s busiest rope house, each room has been sensitively decorated and tastefully restored to maintain the character of this wonderful building. It even still features the original open beams, exposed brickwork and stonework, as well as brass handrails and welcoming open fireplace. The Queen View Suite is licensed for civil ceremonies and can comfortably accommodate 100 seated guests. Located on the upper floor, the room has an abundance of natural daylight as well as beautiful views overlooking the river. After your vows, enjoy drinks and canapés in Webster’s Bar, enjoying its private bar facilities, quirky furniture and adjoining river terrace area. Your wedding breakfast can then be held in the Banqueting Suite for up to 100 guests. Afterwards, head back to the Queen View Suite for your evening celebration for up to 150. Featuring private bar facilities, a large dancing area, and resident DJ, the space transforms into the perfect party room to dance the night away! www.hayleycronephoto.co.uk www.hayleycronephoto.co.uk www.hayleycronephoto.co.uk www.hayleycronephoto.co.uk 25 THEMED VENUES
