Personal Message from the Manager

Name of Wedding Contact: Clare Bayles
Welcome to The Morritt Hotel and Garage Spa. We were the first hotel in County Durham to hold a civil ceremony licence and have loved helping couples have the wedding of their dreams ever since. I love being able to host our ceremonies outside especially when we manage to get the date just right that the blossom tree is in full bloom, but the indoor rooms are just as magical. With a wealth of knowledge our team are eagerly waiting to discuss your special day.

Absolutely perfect! Would highly recommend
We recently had our wedding at The Morritt and it was perfect! From our first enquiry to the big day, nothing was too much trouble for Clare and she was always responsive and did everything possible to make the day perfect - she did good! We couldn’t have wished for our day to go any better, it was brilliant from start to finish and we would recommend The Morritt without hesitation! Thank you Clare and the team who worked on the day for making everything so perfect, we will be forever grateful.

You were sensational
Hi Clare, I wanted to message to say a huge thank you to yourself and all of the staff on Friday, you were sensational - we’ve had such great reviews from all of our friends and family. Appreciate there were a lot of us but the team were truly excellent. Thanks to Andy for doing all the intros too!! Also, please pass our thanks onto the chef - again, food for that many people can be challenging but the kitchen knocked it out of the park. However, the biggest thank you from us goes to yourself.
