The Big Interview... Making Special Days Extra Special

Issue 95

Unveiled Venues update- the perfect places for a perfect day.

As wedding venues go, multi award-winning Ellingham Hall in Northumberland rates as one of the most desirable places in the UK for a couple to enjoy their special day. The entire Hall and its picturesque grounds are exclusively yours to enjoy with your guests, for the duration of your stay.

Ellingham specialises in delivering an unforgettable two-night wedding experience which will also be embraced by their new luxurious venue, Lemmington Hall. Currently, Ellingham Hall caters for parties of 140-180 guests, while Lemmington will cater for more intimate weddings of between 80-100 guests.

Both properties come under the group name of Unveiled Venues…a company which was formed last year to bring Ellingham Hall and Lemmington Hall together under a single brand. Ellingham Hall has been owned by the company since 1995, while Lemmington was introduced early last year.

The Unveiled Venues portfolio has further expanded and now consists of three properties with the recent opening of The Highlander pub on the outskirts of Ponteland.

“The opening of The Highlander is part of the second phase in the growth of Unveiled Venues,” said Group Director, Anthony Hunter. “We bought The Highlander last year and immediately set about renovating it back to its former glory. The 18th century coaching inn has been stood empty since 2018, so it’s been a huge workload to get everything ready to finally welcome our first guests into what is now a stylish family gastro pub.

At Unveiled Venues, we don’t want to be a company that hosts weddings and then loses touch with our couples and their guests beyond the wedding celebration. We view The Highlander as a venture which can complement our exclusive use venues by providing a space to enjoy other lifetime celebrations such as birthdays and anniversaries. The Highlander also provides the wider community the chance to experience the great hospitality and superb attention to detail that our wedding couples and guests have enjoyed over the years.”

Anthony said that the team at Unveiled venues had leaned heavily on their experience in renovating and sympathetically updating heritage buildings interwoven with a modern-day luxury. Lemmington Hall is currently being refurbished and will be ready to welcome its first wedding party in summer 2024. It has already taken bookings and once work is complete, it will be a truly stunning place for couples to exclusively enjoy their special day.

The Highlander opened its doors last month and is receiving fantastic feedback from diners about their quality food and welcoming service. They will be releasing their Christmas menu soon and it’s worth keeping an eye on the Unveiled Venues group website for news and events such as wedding open days at both their stunning Halls along with upcoming Christmas events at the pub.
