Jesmond Dene House

INTRODUCTION

Ideally situated amid the exclusive suburb of Jesmond, while also being enveloped by the lush woodland valley of Jesmond Dene, complete with enchanting waterfalls, rustic bridges, this boutique hotel offers the countrified wedding setting with city-centre convenience, so guests will no grounds to gripe about logistics. In fact, there are few venues more charming for a north-east ‘I do’, with plentiful packages, dreamy celebration spaces and a host of ways in which to personalise your nuptials. And that’s before we’ve covered the all-new Secret Garden…

This 19^th century mansion house with sympathetically refreshed interiors offers a host of big-day scales for lovers who appreciate characterful spaces with a chic edge. A hit with brides and grooms who love the (historical) drama, the double-heighted Great Hall offers heaps of classical features, from rich oak-panelled walls, an ornate minstrels gallery, vast fireplace and expansive leaded windows. Built with wedding breakfast banquet proportions, and space to host up to 130 revellers for evening drinks and dancing, this suite has serious shindig potential. However, if you and your beloved want the charm of this Jesmond gem with a more low-key vibe, worry not – there are three further indoor rooms which can accommodate intimate vows and gatherings for four to 30 guests. These spaces are also ideal for bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, late wedding breakfasts or as evening cocktails and canapé stations. The versatility of the venue means that you can stretch out the celebrations, pre- or post-wedding, and why not?

LAVISH HOSTING

Whether you opt to wed midweek or want festivities to spread over a whole weekend, there are three package options to pick from across the venue’s five licensed spaces, with pricing scaled by guest. The no-fuss Elegance package, priced from £100-120 per guest, includes a wine-and-beer reception, a three-course set meal, two glasses of house wine with the meal and a glass of prosecco for toasting. Meanwhile, the Opulence option, ranging from £120 to £140 per person, covers a prosecco reception, four canapés, a three-course set meal, two glasses of wine with the meal and a glass of prosecco for toasting. Finally, priced from £140 to £160 per head, the generous Indulgence package encompasses a champagne reception, six canapés each, a three-course set meal, two glasses of wine with the meal and a glass of champagne for toasting, as well as chair décor.

And with 40 cosily chic bedrooms – including a honeymoon Apartment Suite for the newlyweds – why not invite your nearest and dearest to make reservations, so that they can kick back and relax with ease after a night of throwing shapes on the dancefloor downstairs? Did we mention that you can hire all spaces and 40 bedrooms for exclusive private use too?
