Wedding venues in the North East I actually rate (because I've seen the ones I don't).
No fluff, no fairytale nonsense — just solid venues that photograph well, work well, and don’t involve a 45-minute trek to the toilets.
1. Charlton Hall
Bold, bonkers, beautiful. Maximalist decor meets luxury party vibes. Not for the beige-lovers.
2. Wylam Brewery
Craft beer, domed ceilings, lakeside golden hour — and not a chair sash in sight.
3. BALTIC
Industrial. Cool. And the only venue on this list where you can get married next to a giant sculpture.
4. Barn on the Bay
Cows, coastline, and no neighbours for miles. A barn by the sea that feels like a proper escape.
5. Beamish Hall
Wood panelling, chandeliers, and those staircases. The kind of place that does "classic" without being stuffy.
6. Blackfriars
Historic, low-lit, and full of atmosphere. Also, it smells faintly of roast dinners — in a good way.
7. Shortflatt Tower
A medieval tower in a secret garden. Great for laid-back couples who still want the "wow" backdrop.
8. Bowburn Hall
Secret garden vibes with just enough sparkle. A no-fuss venue that delivers beautiful results.
If you want wedding photos that don’t look like a staged soap opera, start with venues like these.
