Description

A Wedding Venue Steeped in History

With wood-panelled walls, stunning chandeliers, and breath-taking stained glass windows, Durham Masonic Hall offers a truly unique backdrop for your wedding. Our intimate wedding venue accommodates up to 70 daytime guests and 150 evening guests, perfect for couples who want a venue that feels exclusive yet spacious.

Tailored Wedding Packages for Your Perfect Day

Unlike many wedding venues, we offer flexible wedding packages. You simply pay the venue hire and then tailor your food and drink choices to suit your taste—no need to commit to strict, pre-set packages.

On-Site Wedding Ceremonies

We are also licensed to host wedding ceremonies, meaning you can have everything from the vows to the reception under one beautiful roof. Whether you dream of a classic indoor ceremony or a vintage-inspired celebration, Durham Masonic Hall provides an intimate and elegant setting.

Delicious Catering from Our In-House Chef

Our talented in-house chef will create a menu to delight you and your guests, with a focus on high-quality ingredients. Whether you're opting for a multi-course dinner or a tasty buffet, our team will ensure your wedding day is catered to perfection.

Message from the team

Name of Wedding Contact: Lisa
I’m the Wedding & Events Coordinator here at Durham Masonic Hall, and I absolutely love what I do. We’re not a huge venue, and that’s exactly why I think our couples love us. We’re small, we’re personal, and we care — a lot. We don’t host 5 weddings a day or rush you out the door for the next booking. When you book with us, the entire building is yours, and you’re not just another date in the diary — you're someone we genuinely get excited about.
