Message from the team
Name of Wedding Contact: Clare Bayles
Welcome to The Morritt Hotel and Garage Spa.
We were the first hotel in County Durham to hold a civil ceremony licence and have loved helping couples have the wedding of their dreams ever since. I love being able to host our ceremonies outside especially when we manage to get the date just right that the blossom tree is in full bloom, but the indoor rooms are just as magical.
With a wealth of knowledge our team are eagerly waiting to discuss your special day.
