Our magnificent country estate boasts over 20 years of hosting wonderful weddings and in that time, it has become one of the most sought-after venues for happy couples to begin their married life together.
Set within 300 acres of Northumberland beauty, Matfen Hall Country Hotel, Spa & Golf Estate is the perfect place to say your vows. From a ceremony in our majestic Great Hall, and a drinks reception in the gorgeous Jardin Hollandaise, to your Wedding Breakfast in the Morning Room and the subsequent party in the Vault Bar, we have everything you could ever need.
The Complete Wedding Experience, designed for 60 guests but flexible, offers everything you need for your special day. After your ceremony, whilst our pianist performs a live set, a Champagne and canape reception in the historic Great Hall will set the tone for the festivities ahead. A Wedding Breakfast, with a menu carefully curated by you and our Weddings Team, will follow in our decadent Morning Room, the perfect setting thanks to its magnificent decor and views across Matfen Park and Le Jardin Hollandaise.
Once speeches have taken place, guests will be invited down into the Vault Bar for a night of jubilation, whilst Needham is also available for those who prefer a quieter end to the festivities.
Exclusive use of the whole of Matfen Hall is also available to make the most of your special time.
Whilst we are well aware of the reason for your visit, why not make the most of the facilities?
Check into one of our 65 incredible bedrooms, all designed with a modern take on tradition and decorated by local craftsmen, the night before your big day and experience an evening of both relaxation and jubilation. Try one of our options for dinner – Cloisters Restaurant and Bar or Emerald Restaurant – or have a larger get-together in the Sapphire Room or at Keepers. If you would prefer to relax alone, why not book in for a treatment at The Retreat, and allow our Natura Bissē and Germaine de Capucinni trained therapists to whisk you away into serenity? Play golf whilst you are here, on our 27-hole championship-level course, or alternatively have a hit on the Par-3 or driving range.
From the moment you enquire about celebrating your wedding day with us to when we wave you goodbye for your honeymoon, our experienced team is on hand to ensure every part of your day is as magical as it can be.
