Since long before getting engaged we had chosen our wedding venue, Wynyard hall is a palace like venue a place we fell in love with the first time we ever saw it.
Having attended a variety of events at the hall, when we finally fixed a year to get married it was the first place we visited and met with the wedding coordinator.
We had read the pack from front to back and had a range of Saturdays from June to September in mind ready to secure our special day we were excited to finally have the first item on our list and really starting to think of our wedding day, even though it was 2 years away.
Yes we met with Wynyard hall 2 full years before we were wanting to be married, and after a lengthy discussion of our numbers and which drinks package we would have we came to the date....
.... As confident as you like we claimed not to be "too picky" just any Saturday in the summer two years from now, "sorry we have no Saturdays available"
No Saturdays available ! for a wedding two years time, we were dumb struck ! "oh but you can have a Friday" this was the final straw, the fact we would have to comprimise with our table centres and have to invite 20 extra guests to meet the minimum numbers, now we can't even get married on a Saturday - time for a rethink.
It was now on to looking for wedding venues, something we had never done, we had no need, we were getting married at wynyard for as long as we were getting married.
Now it was like starting from scratch, we quickly wrote off a selection of venues Redworth, Hardwick, Walworth, Manor House, Jersey Farm all had there reasons (which i wont go in to, but for us were just not right)
We then went to view, a couple of places with land with the idea of a teepee tent wedding (this proved more difficult than i would have liked).
Before we knew it we had an appointment at Headlam Hall, a place neither of us had been before (already a winner) and met with a lady who claimed not to be the wedding coordinator but could certainly show us round.
For so many reasons Headlam was perfect for us but below where our real deal makers :-
Location (4 miles from the church we are to be married in)
Style (The style of the venue matched our emerging wedding theme)
Room Size (Not overpowering however not too small)
Candles (allowing open flames on the tables)
Menu (a good choice for all)
Price (within our budget for venue)
With this in mind we had our date pencilled in the very next day still having never met with the wedding coordinator.
We couldnt be happier with our choice, both Andrew and Angela are a delight and the venue really does make me think everything happens for a reason, its perfect for us and we couldnt be happier (providing everything goes to plan on the day)
