With the northeast’s utterly impressive selection of stately homes and castles, those whose Pinterest board includes a grand venue will be simply spoilt for choice! Deciding between all these charming castles, majestic mansions and historic houses, you may feel lost in the grandeur so here are a few tips, tricks and thoughts to bring you back to reality…
Decisions, decisions…
Do you want lush, landscaped grounds, a stunning staircase or a cosy sitting room? Get a feel for what features are on your must-have list then start compiling a selection of venues that fit the bill. Speaking of bills, you’ll also want to set out a budget so you can make sure you’re being realistic. It may be tricky but remembering that all venues bring something amazing to the table is an important mindset to keep. Respecting heritage
If you’re tying the knot in a historically important place, you’ll want to read up on any regulations to be upheld to keep the venue in its greatest shape – this could be anything from footwear recommendations to fireworks restrictions. But don’t worry, your host will explain everything. And we promise the joy your antique setting will bring will certainly outweigh any restrictions!

Fitting features
Venues steeped in history often need very little when it comes to décor but if you do want to add your own stamp, there’ll be plenty of inspo around! Maybe you can have accessories inspired by the architectural era of the castle or use the tartan of the clan that lived in the manor? Either way, this will really add to the atmosphere whilst making your day ultra-bespoke. French finesse
Set your sights on a historical site and a destination wedding? A French chateau could be the solution for you. With wedding packages ready for your approval, just hop on the plane and head for your very own flawless fairytale. Think beautifully arranged gardens, exquisite French cuisine, and a wedding that’s truly très bien! Now, someone please pass the bridal macarons… ♥
