Doxford Barns
INTRODUCTION
Set within a private 550-acre country estate along the Northumberland coast, this bespoke barn wedding venue is the epitome of luxe, offering a rustic and romantic setting to tie the knot. Forget traditional, your wedding day at Doxford Barns promises to be one to remember, straying from
the norm to create a truly incredible experience. From bespoke wedding packages to suit your vision, whether that be an intimate weekday affair, a three-day celebration or a full-blown weekend extravaganza, to luxury on-site accommodation, this venue is the pièce de résistance of rural rustic romance.
Swoon-Worthy Spaces
Available on a completely exclusive basis to you and your guests, Doxford Barns offers a variety of sumptuous spaces in which to say your I Do’s.
The Threshing Hall, with its ornate oak frame, hand-carved stone walls and lovingly-restored flagstone floor is something to behold.
Dating back to the 18th century, this inspiring space leaves little to be desired with original character and romantic atmosphere aplenty, and the option to seat up to 160 of your nearest and dearest an added plus.

Festoon lighting and vast chandeliers illuminate the lofted ceiling, while an original stone fireplace with beautiful bespoke floral and candlelit displays is the perfect backdrop to your marriage moment.
Alternatively, the Great Barn offers a full-day extravaganza, available to host up to 180 day guests and 250 evening guests in utter ethereal heaven.

Views overlooking sprawling countryside and homely rustic décor make for a fabulous celebration setting, married with a full entertainment system and fully-stocked bar to keep the party rocking long into the night.
What’s more, from corn fields and a vast lake to lush farmhouse lawns, there are plenty of impressive outdoor spaces to host your reception drinks and toast to the newlyweds.
Eat, Drink & Be Married
The real jewel in this place’s crown though, is the food and drink on offer.
When it comes to making your culinary choices, Doxford’s dedicated team of chefs will offer you guidance and inspiration from an incredible selection of locally-sourced dishes.
Whether you want dainty canapés fit for kings and queens, a slap-up three course meal or quirky street food to gorge on after dark, the team are committed to fulfilling your foodie dreams – even inviting you to wine tasting sessions ahead of your big day. Cheers to that!

Rest Your Head
What could be better than diving into a plush bed for the night after spending all day frolicking on your feet…
If that bed is just a few steps away from your venue, in a luxury cottage with cosy, laid-back living at its core, we say!
The on-site wedding accommodation at Doxford gives you and 50 of your guests the option to do just that, with seven guest cottages and one bridal suite nestled in a terrace opposite the Great Barn.

Boasting cosy living areas, luxurious touches and wonderfully-appointed bathrooms, each cottage is the perfect place to rest your head after a day of celebrations.
For those that err on the side of nature, there are also camping pods available to hire for an additional 20 guests, offering a beautiful bolthole surrounded by untouched wildlife.

REVIEWS
An absolutely stunning venue with such amazing staff that made our day extra special. Everything was perfect -the fabulous spaces (both indoor and outdoor), the delicious food, the first class accommodation and to top it off the whole place is dog friendly. We are so grateful that we were lucky enough to celebrate our marriage here and only wish we could do it all over again!

We had our December wedding reception at Doxford Barns; we had the most amazing day and a large part of that was down to the venue and the incredible staff who work there - I honestly can't praise it and them enough! The service was flawless but still personal, and we heard so many positive comments about the operations staff from our guests on the day. Add to that the incredible food they served us (delicious and very generous portions) and of course, the venue itself is absolutely beautiful. We were very lucky to have Abi as our wedding coordinator, who went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding day was exactly what we wanted. A huge thank you to Abi, Sharon and Lyndsey (who went above and beyond on the day!) and all of the other staff who made us feel special start to finish.

Luxury Rustic is how the Best Man summed it up. We had a perfect winter wedding, joyous from start to finish. Superbly orchestrated by Abi at Doxford Barns who kept us on track from the Friday night supper, through the main event to the Sunday brunch seamlessly. Great cottages on site warmed with real fires and an aga and the fire pit and twinkling lights outside the barn were magical. Northumberland we love you, Doxford Barns organisation unbeatable
