Description

Whether you're looking for somewhere to host an intimate ceremony with a select few or an extravagant celebration for 200, we have the perfect space to host the wedding of your dreams. It won’t take much for you to fall in love with The Farmhouse, a beautiful venue with its own exclusive grounds in the heart of the Beamish Valley. You will approach the 150-year-old stone Farmhouse through a private driveway and gated entrance. After saying ‘I do’ in the stunning ceremony, you can take to the exclusive grounds for drinks and photographs before heading inside the main dining area for a delicious feast. Imaginatively designed with an orangery roof and large windows to allow you and your guests to take in the stunning countryside. As day turns to dusk, gather your guests in a cosy corner of the lounge area with a real log burning fire and plush furniture to relax before the evening party begins. Our spacious and elegant Durham Suite was once a stone stable block and has been sensitively converted into a bright, beautiful space that is ideal for hosting all manner of celebrations. Seating up to 150 guests banquet style, the Durham Suite is flooded with natural daylight and has access to a stunning private garden plus an outdoor 'Tipi Style' seating area with heaters and fur throws available. The Old Barn is separate from the main hotel and is a truly splendid space for celebrations. With wooden floors, original beams, and classic features, this beautiful venue is spacious enough for 200 guests and has a separate area for hosting wedding ceremonies. The perfect venue for smaller weddings up to 45 guests where you can enjoy a personal and unforgettable experience with all your nearest and dearest. The Beamish Barn boasts original wooden beams, rustic wooden floors, natural lighting, and a roaring log fire.

The BEST day
We got married on the 30th October and our wedding coordinator on the day was Stacey. The whole thing was a total breeze, from booking to our appointments, even everything on the day. We stayed in the Valley View rooms and Stacey came round to the room to talk through the day. The bar manager also came with the golf cart and introduced himself too. The day was so smooth from start to finish..service at the bar, during the meal was amazing. You wanted something it was done. During food service, there was Stacey and two other girls and the other tables were hardly waiting any time at all to be served. Turn out time was so quick and efficient. If I could do it all again, I would.

One of the best day of my life
I knew south causey inn was going to be an amazing venue giving all the awards they have won.. but my god! I never could imagine how amazing they would actually be. From start to finish couldn't do enough for us, took care of my guests like they were their own family whilst holding a professional standard. The staff were absolutely incredible with all the kids attending and really put our mind and rest. Our amazing wedding co ordinator had our day running smooth from start to finish, completely took the stress away and just made it perfect! The food is incredible! Portion sizes and taste, my guests couldn't stop complimenting us on how much they enjoyed themselves and how good the food was. Our decor was beautiful, absolutely stunning! South causey should absolutely be on your wedding venue list! They have packaged to fit everyone.

Wedding Day
Where to start! From the very start of looking for a venue for our big day, everyone associated with the South Causey Inn that we were in contact with was absolutley amazing! The lead up to the day, any questions that needed answering or any last minute changes that we needed to make, nothing was ever an issue and everything was sorted without any fuss whatsoever For our big day, Stacey was our wedding co-ordinator and she was beyond amazing the full day, everything was explained and we were told exactly what was happening and we were felt to made at ease by here and our guests were the same too. She was a massive part of our day and made it flow so smoothly and was more than happy to be talking to our guests throughout the day Honestly, the perfect day that was helped by a perfect venue and perfect staff. Couldn't recommened the venue anymore, amazing!!

Outstanding Venue and Team
The wedding venue was excellent. It combines a rustic atmosphere with well-invested facilities which deliver all of the modern comforts and amenities we and our guests could have liked. The food and beverage offering was excellent, and the venue afforded ample opportunities for photographs, as well as a good amount of space regardless of the weather. The staff were outstanding. Extremely prompt and clear with their responses, but also warm and friendly. They were flexible in meeting our small requests and adjustments, and helped guide us through what the day would look like so that we felt comfortable and confident when the big day itself came.

Our Wedding Day August 2024
We celebrated our wedding at the Old Barn in August, and the venue was absolutely perfect! We chose the Elite Package, which we highly recommend, as it took away so much of the stress that comes with wedding planning. The wedding team and staff went above and beyond, from our check-in the day before to our check-out. A special shoutout to Andrew, who was exceptional and made sure everything ran smoothly on our big day. Thanks to him and the entire team, our day truly was perfect!

Simply the best wedding
My wife and I got married at South Causey Inn in the Durham Suite on 5th September. The whole wedding was absolutely perfect, down to every last detail and will be a day we never forget. The food was fantastic, the interiors were beautiful. I can't recommend the venue enough for a wedding. Andrew was our wedding coordinator on the day - he kept everything running smoothly, kept everyone at ease and we couldn't be more grateful for him. It truly was the best day of our lives.

The best day ever!
Thank you so much to everyone at South Causey Inn for making our wedding day so incredible. Nothing was too much trouble, and the whole team made sure we had everything we’d dreamt of. Special thank you to Andrew who was there for WHATEVER we needed. From getting spilt beer out my dress, to keeping us calm, helping out with children who needed a bit of support, dress fluffing and taking us extra pizza and brownies to the bridal suite for later on. You were the best and were so grateful. We had the most amazing day ever thank you so much 🤍
