At Doxford Hall, we are dedicated to creating a day that’s tailored to your exact requirements, including all the little details that ensure your special day is as unique as you are. Whether you’d like an intimate gathering with just a handful of your nearest and dearest or a grand celebration, we’ll go all out to make sure that your perfect day is just that – your day. Built in 1818, this much-loved country house, the epitome of Georgian splendour, has been lovingly restored and includes a wealth of exquisite craftsmanship, including fine wood panelling and a grand, handmade staircase: the perfect marriage of old and new. A sweeping driveway leads you up to the Hall through the ten acres of grounds. To the front are formal gardens beyond a sunny terrace, with classical stone features and wrought iron gateways giving rise to enchanting photo opportunities. Beyond, discover pathways with wild flower planting and ancient trees, leading to the yew tree maze and a secret walled garden, with espaliered trees. There’s an abundance of beautiful backdrops for your wedding photographs – and some quiet corners to enjoy time alone with your newlywed. Where better to begin your new life together than at Doxford Hall? Our grand, yet welcoming, reception rooms are licensed for civil ceremonies, each offering their own unique features and sense of occasion. Choose from the spacious Kennedy Suite ballroom with crystal chandeliers and ornate Rococo mirrors; the oak-panelled Frank Henry Mason room; or the Flower Room with its neoclassical arched feature window, the perfect backdrop for an intimate wedding. There’s also the George Runciman suite, ideal for winter weddings with its deep red colour scheme and classical pillars; or lets go onto the outdoor terrace with breathtaking countryside views.

Superb venue and staff making the most special day
Doxford Hall provided the most special venue and service for my daughter and son in laws wedding on the 7th April 2023. The staff and food were exceptional, all guests complimented the fantastic service. We felt very special and not just one of many weddings as you are at many venues. A very special thank you to the exceptional Angela and Glen who made nothing too much trouble. We also stayed for a few nights which extended a very special weekend. Just wonderful!! Thank you to all at Doxford Hall

Perfect from start to finish
We were married on 2nd April 2023 at Doxford Hall and it was perfect from start to finish. We knew as soon as we met your wedding coordinator, Angela, that it would be a smooth, well organised experience. Angela has been fantastic, a great communicator and extremely well organised. Her attention detail is second to none. She is able to sort out any problem and make useful suggestions. She allowed us to plan the day exactly how we wanted it. We were able to have a private dining experience the night before which was the perfect start to our wedding. Our wedding day went better than we could have ever hoped for. Everything we had asked for had been achieved and the staff could not have been more accommodating. Our wedding suite was fantastic too. Our guests had a great experience, the food was amazing and one of our biggest compliments from the day. The grounds looked exceptional and our wedding photographer was able to get some fantastic shots. We had the added bonus of being able to use the spa facilities during our stay too. We can’t recommend getting married at Doxford Hall enough. Thank you to Angela and all the staff.

Nothing is ever to much trouble for the staff and on the wedding days the work and commitment they put in to making the couples day run smooth is exceptional. I was also married at Doxford Hall in 2013 it was such a perfect day, I would highly recommend this special place 💕

A beautiful venue in a stunning location!
I am a wedding and events pianist, and have played at Doxford Hall Hotel on a number of occasions. The Hotel itself is a graceful Georgian stone-built mansion set in a secluded position in the North Northumberland countryside. It definitely has the power to impress - the dramatic staircase and grand ballroom are imposing sights - yet it manages to be cosy and welcoming as well. The hotel and its well-manicured gardens and grounds are very photogenic. The perfect spot for memorable photographs. I've been lucky enough to sample the food a few times, and the kitchens clearly have skilled chefs with an eye for presentation. Perhaps Doxford's greatest asset, however, is the staff. In all my dealings with management, the wedding team and other members of staff, I have found everyone to be extremely friendly, accommodating and helpful. I have no doubt they will work very hard, and go the extra mile, to ensure your wedding is spectacular and special in every way you want. In conclusion: I have been performing in top class hotels for over 30 years, and would definitely recommend Doxford Hall Hotel as a venue you must consider for your wedding! David McLeish

We could not have wished for a more perfect day
I wanted to thank all the staff for the wonderful day we had at Anna & Hannes wedding. The whole experience was so wonderful; not just the setting which is perfect but the ceremony, wedding breakfast and how everything went so seamlessly all day. We could not have wished for a more perfect day for our special couple. I would particularly like to thank all the staff from Reception to the kitchens, and front of house - nothing was too much trouble from the Friday we arrived to the Sunday we left.

FAQ
(10)

Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?

That’s a hard question because every wedding and every couple is unique and once you’ve really got to know a couple you’re fully invested in their day. That said, there have been some exceptionally cute canine ring bearers!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Be true to yourselves - inject your own personalities into your wedding and let the wedding reflect you as a couple. From your menu choices to the dance floor tunes it’s really important that this day is truly yours.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

There have been many, but two stand out. There was the father of the bride who built and painted a sweet card and then engraved it with the couples’ initials. And a personal favourite was when our F&B Manager here dressed up as Father Christmas and pulled up outside the Morning Room on his motorbike with a sack of presents for the couple to distribute to young bridesmaids during the speeches.

Describe your venue in 5 adjectives.

Elegant, spacious, personal, secluded, friendly

Where’s the best photo spot at your venue?

There are too many to choose from but if I have to pick just one then it’s got to be the original external stone staircase which is perfect for intimate photos and was almost made for showing off a long train on a bridal gown.

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at your venue?

I’m afraid that’s not information that we’re happy to divulge!

What’s your favourite canapé?

It’s a classic but the mini Yorkshire puddings with roast beef and horseradish cream are hard to beat.

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

Our chefs create the most amazing charcutuerie boards with a fabulous selection of meats, marinated vegetables and olives which I adore.

What is your venue's most unique feature?

We are lucky enough to have Europe’s largest yew tree maze in the grounds! Lots of fun during summer weddings, and particularly handy if you have children to entertain.

What part of your business are you most proud of?

All of it – the stunning grounds which lend themselves so well to beautiful photos and in particular our dedicated team who work so hard to make everyone’s stay special.
