A countryside venue in Northumberland was recently shortlisted for the regional heats of a prestigious industry wedding award.
Ellingham Hall was chosen as a Yorkshire and North East finalist in The Wedding Industry Awards for the best countryside wedding venue of the year.
The shortlisting from dozens of venues came just weeks after the hall’s Wedding Co-ordinator, Wendy Sproul, was crowned North East Wedding Co-ordinator of the Year by The Wedding Guide UK in September.
General Manager Anthony Hunter said he was delighted that the hall had been shortlisted for such a distinguished award.
“When we were told Ellingham Hall had been shortlisted, we were thrilled. The region includes the whole of Yorkshire as well as the North East, so there are lots of countryside venues to compete against. To be shortlisted was very exciting for us.”
Ellingham Hall is an elegant country house that is set in its own eight-acre estate. Wedding parties can book the entire grounds of the hall as well as seven luxury cottages for their guests, making it a unique experience.
Anthony added: “We always get amazing feedback from our couples about the hall and grounds as well as for our hardworking staff. The fact Wendy won an award just last month and we were shortlisted for this accolade is testament to the effort the entire team puts into making wedding days special for our couples and their guests.”
