With complete exclusivity, couples have free rein over which part of the sprawling estate they gather - but here’s a few popular ideas from their expert wedding team on how to utilise their two-night stay for maximum enjoyment.
THE NIGHT BEFORE - ARRIVAL FROM 4PM
Referred to as the ‘ice breaker’ night, this is quality family time before the big day - and a great chance to let Ellingham Hall provide spaces to relax, laugh, drink and mingle. There’s an abundance of choices on offer, why not gather your wedding team to enjoy a sizzling alfresco barbecue or sharing boards on the stunning terrace? Manicured lawns provide an incredible verdant vista for lawn games - or maybe you head underground to the entertainment den for music and dancing...
THE WEDDING MORNING
The bridal party can enjoy a relaxed and refreshing morning in one of the two lavish bridal suites at Ellingham Hall. Choose from Lady B’s with its French style rustic tones, private dressing room and free standing roll-top bath. A decadent soak and a good night’s sleep in the super king size bed is a prerequisite for the big day ahead.
The newly renovated Ellingham Suite is designed to elevate the experience further, with a rather decadent rooftop hot tub affording the most stunning views of the Northumbrian countyside. The Ellingham Suite is full of refined features including a super king-size oak bed, luxury double drench walk-in showers and a spacious lounge area.
AISLE DO - THE CEREMONY
With no less than five unique spaces for the ceremony, it’s simply a case of deciding which wonderful space suits you based on your wedding numbers, licensed suites can cater for up to 140 guests. The ornate Ceremony Room seating 100 overlooks the front lawn. Modern touches blend beautifully with the ornate woodwork.
The Chapel is the largest space with original stone architecture, vaulted ceilings and a beautiful stone fireplace that holds court beautifully when utilised as a ceremony focal point. The neutral aesthetic of this suite lends itself to any chosen theme and the viewing mezzanine is a photographers aerial dream.
For resplendent spring and summer soirees, the front lawn or woodland areas are superb choices for up to 130 guests - with the stunning natural beauty of Ellingham as a focal backdrop and a realm for exquisite photography alongside the soothing tones of waterfalls and babbling brooks (you may even spot the odd peacock)
The rooftop is framed by the walled garden and picturesque grounds. With unbeatable panoramic views, you can say your vows with the Northumberland coast on its horizon.Then step through to the mezzanine, to sign the register in front of the breath-taking and iconic Chapel Window.The rooftop space really has it all and can hold up to 60 guests for outdoor ceremonies.
DRINKS RECEPTION
The terrace at Ellingham was built for mingling, drinking, eating and dancing. It’s the place to savour the ceremony (and canapés) before heading in to be indulged for the wedding breakfast. Live music is a must, be that on the terrace or indoors gathered around the grand piano in one of their immaculate reception rooms.
WEDDING BREAKFAST
Time to indulge in a lavish three-course wedding breakfast in the 19th-century chapel.
CAKE AND COCKTAILS
Time for a pick-me-up? Gather the guests, cut the cake and indulge in some sweet treats for that all-important pre-dancing sugar fix! Then it’s time to boogie (or simply chill out in any of our boutique rooms!)
EVENING PARTY

For those wanting to carry on the party the After Dark party chamber is equipped to exceed expectations with pre-ordered drinks from midnight until 2am.
AND SO TO BED
