- KKate Clark22/11/2018Couldn't have asked for a better day! Couldn't have asked for a better day!From the moment we set foot in Jesmond Dene House we knew it was the one and didn't bother to look anywhere else... And it didn't disappoint. Christina, our wedding co-ordinator was fantastic, professional and prompt at responding to my concerns, changes etc. On the day Hannah & Lucas ensured everything flowed seemlessly. If there was a problem we didn't know about it unless we absolutely needed to. The food was mouthwatering perfection. Then there are the gardens which were stunning for photos, you wouldn't believe this was a hotel in the heart of the city. The whole day was perfect and every guest commented on it being the best wedding/venue they had been too. It oozes understated class, we wish we could do it all again.
