Where Rustic Charm Meets Romance
Imagine exchanging your vows in a beautiful Northumbrian setting, celebrating with your favourite people surrounded by gardens and twinkling lights, then dancing into the night with exceptional food, drinks and unforgettable memories.
The Parlour at Blagdon is an exclusive wedding venue just ten minutes north of Newcastle, nestled within the beautiful Blagdon Estate. A hidden oasis in the countryside, the venue combines rustic charm with modern romance to create a setting that feels both welcoming and wonderfully special.
Your ceremony can take place in one of two distinctive settings. The Grade II listed Smithy offers exposed stone walls, magnificent wooden beams and festoon lighting, creating a romantic and atmospheric setting for your vows. Alternatively, you can exchange rings outdoors in the tranquil courtyard, surrounded by the beauty of the gardens and the peaceful Northumbrian countryside.
Following your ceremony, enjoy drinks and canapés with your guests as you celebrate your first moments as newlyweds. The gardens provide a beautiful backdrop, with outdoor seating, whimsical festoon lighting and a cosy firepit creating a relaxed atmosphere.
For those who prefer to continue the celebrations indoors, the Stables Bar offers a welcoming space for guests to gather before your wedding breakfast in the elegant Willow Room.
Food is an important part of the experience at The Parlour. The award-winning culinary team, led by Group Executive Chef Richard Chilver, has created a range of menus designed to offer different dining experiences. Whether you prefer a traditional three-course wedding breakfast or something with a Mediterranean influence, the menus are designed to suit your celebration.
Locally sourced ingredients, carefully considered dishes and a wide range of drinks options ensure that food and drink can be tailored to your day. From canapés and wedding breakfast menus to wines, beers, cocktails and mocktails, there are plenty of ways to create an experience that feels personal to you.
As the evening begins, the Willow Room becomes the setting for your reception. A resident DJ can keep the celebrations going until midnight, with the option of adding a late licence until 1am.
Evening food can be just as memorable, with options including classic sausage and bacon sandwiches, street food or a pizza van. If you want to continue the party into the early hours, the Late-Night Lounge offers a dedicated after-party experience with drinks, food and entertainment packages, including karaoke.
The venue also offers five bedrooms in its cottage, including the beautiful Beech Suite for the newlyweds. Your guests can stay close to the celebrations, and a full English breakfast is available the following morning, giving everyone the chance to relax and enjoy one more moment together.
With space for up to 90 daytime guests and 175 evening guests, The Parlour at Blagdon is suitable for a wide range of celebrations. Whether you are planning an intimate gathering or a lively wedding with all your favourite people, the venue offers a flexible and personal setting.
Exclusive use means that your wedding day is entirely focused on you and your guests. From the moment you say ‘I do’ to the final dance of the evening, the team will help bring your plans together and create a celebration that reflects your personality.
With its Grade II listed Smithy, tranquil courtyard, beautiful gardens, twinkling festoon lights, cosy firepit, elegant Willow Room and lively evening celebrations, The Parlour at Blagdon offers a wedding experience with plenty of character.
