Brinkburn Northumberland Full Description
For couples looking for a wedding day like no other and holidays that create lasting memories. Brinkburn Northumberland has unique wedding offers for both religious and civil ceremonies in the 12th century Brinkburn Priory, manor house and grade 2 listed stable block. Set in a secluded wooded ravine on the banks of the river Coquet, Brinkburn Northumberland’s six luxury holiday cottages are the perfect home away from home and the ideal escape for couples as well as larger groups. Fulfilled customers combined with weddings which span three days set us apart from our competitors. The Green Room is licensed to hold civil ceremonies and partnerships. For religious ceremonies, nestled in enchanting woodland is Brinkburn Priory for the most unforgettable space to gather together for a church ceremony. Humanist celebrations can take place in the un-restored Manor House. Adventurous couples can celebrate with our helicopter wedding package including an outdoor riverside ceremony. A drinks reception of champagne and canapes can be followed in The Green Room, or outside on the terrace followed by a Wedding Breakfast inside our Tipi for your celebration. With the perfect blend of traditional sophistication and modern quirkiness, your reception will be an unforgettable experience. The Tipi can accommodate up to 120 seated guests and turn into a bar area for evening, while guests can dance the night away in The Green Room and enjoy drinks outside on the terrace. As the night draws to a close, you and your nearest and dearest can retire to the on-site accommodation suitable for up to 28 guests across the Estate. The main accommodation of The Stables and Priory Cottage just a stones throw from the Venue is where the Bridal Suite and accommodation for up to 12 guests is situated. The Gardener's Cottages are at the entrance of the Estate, and are perfect for small families or groups of four, which can accommodate 16 guests in total.

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 dream wedding!

We got married at Brinkburn Priory at the end of August and our day was everything we dreamed of and more. From our first viewing we knew Brinkburn was the venue for us, it’s such a special and magical place, like a fairytale! From our first contact and throughout the planning process Jess was fantastic, super responsive, organised and helpful with any questions we had - she really is brilliant at her job! Jess, Mark and the rest of the Brinkburn team ensured our weekend ran smoothly and was exactly as we wanted it to be! Our guests all said the venue was stunning and everyone had a great day! The cottages are beautiful and we felt so comfortable and at home staying for the weekend! Thank you so much Brinkburn for making our special day so perfect!xx

The most perfect venue

My visit to Brinkburn was one of the first venues I had booked in to see. As I walked down the drive I just knew it was the perfect place for us. My partner only saw the outside and Priory and knew it was the right place! All other venues we went to after just didn't compare. We loved that you have the whole place to yourselves for the weekend. It's like a magical retreat. Jess and her team were amazing, the day ran like clockwork and nothing was too much of an ask. We wish we could do the whole weekend again!! If you are thinking about booking just book because Brinkburn is such a magical place and you won't regret it.

Where to start?

Where do I even start? From start to finish, the venue, the accomodation, Jess and all the team were absolutely amazing. I wish I could do all 3 days again! I’d never been to brinkburn before I viewed it but instantly fell in love with how secluded you felt from the world! The day ran so smoothly and so many people have commented since to say how the day was faultless.

A huge thank you to Jess and her wonderful team at brinkburn priory. Wow this venue exceeded all expectations!

To getting married in the priory, to the meal in the tipi and being able to share a full weekend with all our closest family and friends at such an idyllic location… this venue offered everything we hoped for and more!

A huge thank you to Jess and her wonderful team at brinkburn priory. Wow this venue exceeded all expectations! From the moment we went to view it over one year ago, we knew it would be the place for our wedding. To getting married in the priory, to the meal in the tipi and being able to share a full weekend with all our closest family and friends at such an idyllic location… this venue offered everything we hoped for and more! Jess was exceptional throughout the whole planning process, her meetings throughout the year in the lead up to the wedding were so reassuring and you could drop her an email anytime and she would get back to you, no question was ever too silly! The day itself ran so smoothly... we didn’t have to think about anything, it ran like clockwork just aa promised and the team were all so lovely. Big mention to Justine too who was so so wonderful throughout the weekend and on the evening and was just the loveliest lady! All the staff were second to none and nothing was too much for them and everything thought of and taken care of throughout. We smiled throughout the whole day as it was just seamless as Jess had contacted all suppliers and kept them all to time throughout. The food was also wonderful (big mention to dan the amazing caterer at 1901 who does all the weddings here and we had so many compliments so say it was the best wedding food our guests had ever eaten!). The whole experience and day itself felt so personal and special to us and that’s down to Jess and her wonderful team who make you feel like that, again thank you so so much for everything… you all delivered and more! We will cherish this weekend forever! And our wedding was the best day of our lives!! Xx

Perfect from start to finish

Where to start! As soon as we walked down the path to brinkburn we knew we wanted to get married there! It’s such an amazing and special place. Then we met Jess the true hidden gem of Brinkburn, throughout the planning she is so organised, calm and understanding. We always had all of our trust in her and the team. The day was perfection and felt so stress free knowing the team at brinkburn were totally in control. So many people have told us how perfect the day was and that is so down to this amazing venue and the people involved. Our day was perfect beyond our wildest dreams I can’t thank the team and all the suppliers for giving us memory’s that last a lifetime. We want to come back and do it all again! Thank you SO much x x x x

Describe the best wedding that happened at Brinkburn Northumberland?

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!
