- RRachel & Mikey05/05/2026The BEST Day The BEST DayMy husband and I recently got married at Le Petit Chateau and it was the best day! Everything was just perfect. We got engaged in July and went to view the venue in August, we knew immediately it was the place for us, it had everything we wanted, the rustic vibes, the meadow, the big mantel piece, it was everything we wanted! I had a few visits to the venue after booking up, mostly to take my bridesmaids for a look but also to relive all of the little details from my first visit. The team were always very happy for us to look around. Our finer details were locked in with our wedding coordinator Beth Hind; as our wedding approached, we caught up and she made sure we had everything we needed in place and passed across all of our plans to the operational team who would be supporting us on the day! there was a wedding the day before ours which was a worry that I wouldn’t be involved in the setting up on the day, but between Beth and the on the day team, everything was done for us; perfectly! On the day, everything ran so smoothly, the team could not have done enough for us! We had some external suppliers come and set some things up and they were amazing! The drinks were flowing and were lovely, the food was really nice, the popcorn and sweet jars were really well received by our guests too! All round one of the best days of our lives, marrying my best friend in such a gorgeous setting! My husband and I recently got married at Le Petit Chateau and it was the best day!

- BBen & Lucy24/12/2025The best wedding ever.The best wedding ever.We had the best day ever getting married at Le Petit Chateau. The venue was amazing throughout the whole process - from the open events viewing the venue, booking, regular check ins from our coordinator, the tasting evening and the run up to the big day. The venue is beautiful and a piece of the Mediterranean in Northumberland. We had lots of guests say that it was the best wedding that they had ever been to. The shabby chique decoration, remote location, well manicured gardens and the water fountain which sets on fire just added to the magic. If we could get married all over again we would do it at Le Petit Chateau again in a heart beat. We had the best day ever getting married at Le Petit Chateau.

- AAlice & Ben20/12/2025The perfect day from start to finish!The perfect day from start to finish!As someone who is an over thinker and worrier, my wedding day being perfect and everything going as planned was something that caused me many a sleepless night. But from start to finish the staff at Le Petit Chateau supported, looked after us and completely put my mind at ease. They had thought of absolutely everything and more!! From check ins on the day and explaining every step of the day as it progressed to going above and beyond for our guests we really couldn't have asked for much more. Our wedding coordinators and master of ceremonies were the height of professionalism whilst making us feel so comfortable and valued. The day really wouldn't have been what it was if it weren't for them. I cannot rave about this venue enough. It's stunning setting is an absolute hidden gem that wowed our guests, it's food options, variety and quality was something that was so important to us and really delivered, the accommodations team were so helpful. I cannot recommend this venue enough - we travelled over 2 hours for this venue (and most of our guests further) but it was absolutely worth it! All of our guests agreed and could see why we had fallen in love with the place and it's people.

- jjoanne & Vic18/12/2025everything you could wish for and moreeverything you could wish for and moreFrom start to finish, this wedding venue was absolutely beautiful. From our first visit to LPC we knew this was the one. The venue was absolutely stunning and exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, the space was beautifully maintained and thoughtfully designed, creating the perfect setting for a wedding day. Every area—from the ceremony space to the reception—was elegant, spacious, and picture-perfect. Lauran Myers was our planner and her attention to detail was amazing. Always available at the end of an email or telephone call to support and run ideas past her, nothing was ever a problem The staff during the wedding were professional, attentive, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire event, ensuring everything ran smoothly. The layout flowed seamlessly, making it easy for guests to move around and fully enjoy the celebration. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and truly unforgettable. Rooms within the hotel were beautiful and breakfast was plentiful. This venue provided the perfect backdrop for a magical wedding day. Highly recommend to any couple looking for a beautiful and well-run location for their special day.From start to finish, this wedding venue was absolutely beautiful.

- EEmma and Chris17/12/2025Perfection!Perfection!This venue is stunning, the food exceptional, and the staff amazing.... we couldn't have asked for anything better, the day ran smoothly thanks to the dedicated and hard working staff, they truly make your wedding day exceptional going above and beyond. The master of ceremony sorted any glitches on the day without the knowledge of the bride and groom, he also made sure we had time slots to take a breath and chat with each other! As well as ensuring we had drinks and food brought to us whilst photos were taken so we didn't miss out! Our guests all commented how magnificent the wedding was. Nothing was too much trouble we would highly recommend to anyone looking at wedding venues.

- KKessiah and Stephen Furber04/12/2025The best day of our lives ❤️The best day of our lives ❤️We had our wedding at Le Petit Chateau on the 2nd October 2025, it was forecast rain but the wedding gods were kind and shone sunlight down on our special day instead and the photos came out perfectly, we were concerned about the weather at that time of year but it stayed relatively warm and no need for warmer clothes. The day truly couldn’t have gone better. The venue was absolutely beautiful, the perfect setting for our day, and everything ran so smoothly from start to finish. A huge shout-out to Peter, the master of ceremonies. He was incredible. He kept the whole day flowing effortlessly, made sure we were always looked after, and was right there whenever we needed anything… even holding the groom’s beer during the photos! We’re so grateful for how seamlessly everything came together. Highly recommend this venue for anyone wanting a stress-free, magical wedding day.We had our wedding at Le Petit Chateau on the 2nd October 2025, it was forecast rain but the wedding gods were kind and shone sunlight down on our special day instead and the photos came out perfectly, we were concerned about the weather at that time of year but it stayed relatively warm and no need for warmer clothes.
