Description
Description
Each wedding begins with a conversation.
Our role is not to fit your celebration into a package, but to understand what matters most to you and help shape a wedding that feels entirely your own.
Brinkburn hosts a carefully limited number of Specialist Weddings each year, allowing every couple the time, care and attention their celebration deserves. Your wedding unfolds across a long weekend, giving family and friends the opportunity to arrive, settle into the estate and celebrate without feeling rushed.
Each couple is different.
That is why Brinkburn offers four distinctive places in which your story can unfold, each connected by the same landscape and the same philosophy of thoughtful hospitality.
Exceptional weddings are rarely created in a single day. They are shaped by the time spent together before, during and after the celebration.
Humans have gathered at Brinkburn for a thousand years. Not simply to celebrate, but to mark life's moments in places that carry meaning. Harnessing only what the past has gifted us, Brinkburn stages just 20 Limited Edition Specialist Weddings per calendar year.
A Brinkburn Specialist Wedding is for between 22 to 52 people and 80 in the evening.
Ultra-bespoke, a Brinkburn wedding can include wild swimming, sunset yoga, forest walks, sound baths, fire-pit gatherings and beach walks. Every celebration is shaped around the people, the place and the season.
Accommodation on-site cottages for up to 22 people, then local partner venues. Food and specialist drinks are freshly prepared on-site by Michelin Star trained chef Tom Rookes (The Elder Tree). Indoor and outdoor spaces are visioned, planned and designed together.
There are four different locations to marry at Brinkburn. Brinkburn Priory, Brinkburn Manor House, The Barn at Brinkburn and In Nature at Brinkburn.

- SSam and John27/04/2025Easter Weekend WeddingEaster Weekend WeddingFrom the moment we viewed the venue we knew it was the perfect setting for our wedding - needless to say we didn't look any further! A compact and intimate venue in the most beautiful location. The whole process was seamless from securing the booking to the final details before our big day. The staff were efficient and friendly - nothing was too much trouble. They maintained professionalism throughout the entire process. Jess took the stress out of the whole planning experience - sourcing suppliers, providing invaluable advice and reassurance and keeping everything on track. We never felt under pressure at any point in the process. On the Friday all the ladies gathered in The Stables (main accommodation) for drinks and nibbles - plenty of space for indoor entertaining. On the day of our wedding Jess and the team worked, almost inconspicuously, to ensure everything went to plan and without a hitch. We didn't worry about anything. On the Sunday we entertained approx 30 guests. The terrace was just perfect and the sun shone down - such an idyllic setting with stunning scenery. Brinkburn certainly met all of our expectations.From the moment we viewed the venue we knew it was the perfect setting for our wedding - needless to say we didn't look any further!

- RRachel & Ben17/04/2025The best weekend of our livesThe best weekend of our livesFollowing a lot of research, Brinkburn was the first (and only, it turned out!) venue we visited - we knew straightaway that it was the place for us. From our first conversation with Jess, we knew that we would not need to worry about anything throughout the planning process right up until the Monday morning we reluctantly checked out after our perfect wedding weekend. Brinkburn is simply stunning and Jess and her team are so flexible, professional and happy to help. From recommending suppliers, to answering our (many, many) questions quickly and clearly, to just being a wonderful supportive presence from the moment we arrived on the Friday afternoon, Jess has been simply invaluable.

- SSophie & Ben23/09/2024Amazing venueAmazing venueOf course Brinkburn is an absolutely stunning venue, that's easy to see when you first arrive. But the Brinkburn wedding team, 19.01 caterers and bar staff went above and beyond to make our wedding day at Brinkburn as special as it could be! From the very first viewing with Jess, and the regular meetings throughout the 2 year planning process, to Justine nailing the on the day wedding coordination. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the team, and they all ensured our day ran perfectly. We can never thank you all enough for everything you did!

- FFay Davies15/09/2024The best day of our lives! The best day of our lives!Our experience with Brinkburn was great from the very start. The booking was straight forward and the communication through email was quick and professional. The multiple video call/ check in meetings during the planning process were a god send and this made planning experience less stressful, especially when my now husband and I, have very busy work schedules. The venue itself is situated in beautiful, peaceful Northumberland and it felt very private even though the public still had access to the Brinkburn Priory. The accommodation (The Stables and the cottage) was well equipped and immaculate. The hampers on arrival were a lovely touch! The outdoor space with a large table meant that the night before close family could chill outside and eat together and play garden games. The wedding day itself ran smoothly with the help of Jess, our wonderful wedding coordinator. As the bride, I did not stress in the morning as I knew Jess had everything organised. After the wedding, the team cleaning up were very friendly and professional. Our experience with Brinkburn was great from the very start.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs
Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
Where to start...to pick one would just be impossible!! The best weddings are always the ones where the venue is full of colour, the guests are full of laughter (& food) and the happy couple are full of smiles, and here at Brinkburn we would expect nothing less!
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Questions!! It is so important to ask questions throughout the planning process, so not only the day is 100% how you would like, but you also have a full understanding. At Brinkburn our wedding coordinators are always on hand for all questions, no matter how big or small.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
This has to be table numbers... I love it when a couple have table numbers/names that are personal to them. For example, Alice & Sam had their table names as different West End musicals the pair had featured in which was a fantastic, thoughtful idea!
Describe your venue in 5 adjectives.
Unforgettable, exclusive, atmospheric, personal, sensational.
Where’s the best photo spot at your venue?
Do I have to pick just one?! The Priory is so grand it is hard not to be photogenic with that backdrop, the stables gardens are bustling with colour and the tipi has the enchanted fairy lights making all of your photos look magical!
Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at your venue?
A wedding planner never tells.....
What’s your favourite canapé?
A fellow fish lover I would have to go with the crispy king prawn with wasabi mayonnaise.
What’s your favourite midnight treat?
This is an obvious choice...it has to be a steal of the wedding cake!
What is your venue's most unique feature?
At Brinkburn we are lucky to have our 12th Century Priory Church and Manor House quite literally on our doorstep which is such a unique feature for a wedding venue to have!
What part of your business are you most proud of?
I love Brinkburn Northumberland, I am extremely proud of the team who started this as a small business which is slowly growing more and more by delivering exceptional weddings week in and week out. The team on the day are so passionate about ensuring each and every person is having a great time.
