About Langley Castle Hotel

Langley Castle Hotel in Northumberland holds a civil wedding licence and offers a turret room for small ceremonies, garden ceremonies in a gazebo on the front lawn and a dedicated wedding team.

Langley Castle Hotel in Northumberland is licensed for civil marriages and has built a wedding service around the building. The team handles coordination and advises on menus and wines, and describes the aim as letting couples enjoy the day while the arrangements are looked after. Couples are welcome to visit beforehand to see the rooms and talk through their plans.

Small ceremonies can take place in the Cadwallader Bates Memorial Room, the turret chapel restored in 2006, which holds up to 30 guests and also hosts services of blessing, renewals of vows and baby naming ceremonies. Outdoors, a gazebo on the lawn facing the main entrance is licensed for ceremonies, with guests seated on the grass and the castle and fountain behind the couple. In poor weather the ceremony moves into the Drawing Room or the Josephine Restaurant, a decision taken two hours beforehand by the registrar and hotel management.

A castle set up for civil weddings

Langley Castle holds a licence for civil marriages and presents itself as one of the established wedding venues of the North East of England. The hotel handles the coordination of the day, so that couples can leave the arrangements to the team and concentrate on the celebration.

A castle set up for civil weddings

The turret chapel

In 2006 the chapel in one of the uppermost turrets was restored and renamed the Cadwallader Bates Memorial Room. It takes a maximum of 30 guests, which suits small, intimate gatherings, and it is used for services of blessing, renewals of vows and baby naming ceremonies.

Ceremonies in the grounds

A licence also covers ceremonies outdoors. The gazebo stands on the lawn facing the main entrance, so the bride arrives from the castle doors with the fountain and the building as a backdrop for photographs and film. The immediate wedding party stands in the gazebo while guests sit on the lawn, and the Drawing Room or Josephine Restaurant serve as the indoor alternative.

Ceremonies in the grounds

Table, cellar and service

The hotel plans menus and wines with couples and coordinates receptions, formal dinners and other occasions with close attention to detail. Visits are offered so that couples can see the rooms before deciding.
