ONE of the North East’s most picturesque wedding venues plans to make its mark on loved up couples next month (May).
On Friday 2 and Saturday 3 May, the Lakeside Marquee at Hardwick Hall Hotel will be holding Open Days for those looking for the ultimate venue for their big day.
And the marquee – set within the Hardwick Country Park – will not only be fully dressed for the occasion but the four-star hotel’s wedding team will be on hand to talk couples through everything from food to facilities.
Surrounded by breath-taking views of the lake and grounds, the marquee can hold up to 170 guests and lends itself to everything from formal wedding breakfasts to a relaxed dining experience.
A private garden enables guests to mingle outside or enjoy an informal summer barbecue, with fire pits and fairy lights mean they can stay outside in warmth and comfort long after the sun sets over the lake.
While a tailormade bar lends itself to pre and post-reception drinks and summer cocktails in the open air.
The marquee is also a popular choice for other family celebrations – such as birthdays, christening or anniversary parties – and can be hired for corporate events, with the hotel’s events team creating bespoke arrangements so no two events are the same.
Hardwick Hall Hotel is renowned for its wedding and event facilities which can accommodate up to 400 guests for large-scale functions, with smaller spaces and suites for more intimate affairs.
The hotel’s Floral Chapel, with its flower-filled, French-inspired décor, is a charming setting for up to 80 day and 120 evening guests, the Boyne Suite – the original dining room of the 1435 Manor house – offers a traditional, yet stylish, setting for up to 40 guests and the versatile Coleman Suite can hold up to 400 guests.
The 53-bedroom hotel also invites bridal couples to spend their wedding night in its Celebration Suite; a deluxe master bedroom with an ornate en-suite bathroom, two additional bedrooms sharing a bathroom, lounge and rooftop terrace garden with hot tub.
The Lakeside Marquee Open Days will take place from 5pm to 8pm on Friday 2 May and from 10am to 4pm on Saturday 3 May and no appointment is necessary.
