I love Jesmond Dene house! I first visited this great {Newcastle wedding venue} when I shot {Charlie and Gilengs} awesome wedding there back in June 2011, check out that post for more pictures of their day.

Set in the amazing, and seriously picteresque Jesmond Dene, Jesmond Dene House is the perfect wedding venue (we’re blessed with loads of them in the North East!), Now, Charlie and Gileng had gotten married over in Holy Trinity Jesmond… which is amazing in itself, we nearly got married there too… but you can also use the Great Hall, situated deep within the House to actually get married, and then have it turned around for your reception guests. I reckon you can seat around 100 guests.

There are tonnes of great places to relax too, with all sorts of mini restaurant/bar areas and chill out spots.

The whole place seems to be wood paneled  (which to be quite honest makes my job more difficult!) but gives a really nice warn atmosphere. And check out that crazy fireplace! Its huge!

Jesmond Dene House – Wedding Venue

Obviously your paying for great quality here, so if you’re after something on the cheap, Jesmond Dene House may not be for you… Its worth the money though, the management are great, and they staff too. My best man proposed to his fiance there (in front of the fireplace… very nice…) and the management bent over backwards to make it special for them, even knowing that they weren’t going to get married there. That’s great service!

Jesmond Dene House has accommodation for a large number of guests, so you can have your guests stay there. I guess this would be really useful if any of your guests are traveling a long way to get to your wedding! Rooms are really first class, with a selection of amazing suites you could use for your first night together…

The Restaurant staff are really good, just for being the photographer they served me with some amazing food just to keep me going, so I’m sure the guests would have been in for a treat!

And check out the attention to detail on those table layouts! service staff are really efficient, discreet and helpful… pretty much everything you would want from them really!

And not only that – but Jesmond Dene House is set in fantastic grounds, Jesmond Dene, which is an amazing place for images, and especially good in summer to go for a stroll, maybe even have your guests go out and mingle!
