Vallum Marquee & Tipi Full Description
Vallum is unlike any other wedding venue in Northumberland, offering the relaxed, romantic feel of a country wedding with the convenience and cost-effectiveness of a permanent, well-established venue in breathtaking Hadrian’s Wall country just eight miles west of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. One of the many things which sets us apart from other venues is our flexibility. You might want to go all-out uber glam, rustic country, or kitchen garden cute or you may opt for a stunning fine dining feast, a beautifully bespoke buffet, or enjoy a laid-back barbecue. Because we have our own team of chefs we enjoy tailoring the menus to suit your style. Smaller weddings are beautifully suited to our lovely Tipi, while bigger events from 40-160 are hosted in our large Marquee – a permanent ivory lined billowing space with glass windows all down one side to make the most of our deck, lawn and beautiful country views, we even have a lake for that romantic water photograph. All our celebrations are catered for by us in our state of the art kitchens. Our passion is food. Whatever you have in mind for your wedding day, we can work with you to perfect your menu and show off our skills. Some couples have gone for bangers and mash, others have chosen Persian banquets. Over the years we have won many Taste Awards for our home baking so if Afternoon Tea is your vision, you are in the best hands! Couples who choose Vallum are looking for a less formal vibe with great service. Couples love our hands on approach and how we welcome you into our family when you make us your wedding home. We are great at organising and every step of the way is clearly documented so that on the day our team all know exactly what is going on at any minute of the day, so you don't even need to think about it. Weddings here are incredibly special and absolutely personal to you. We look forward to planning it with you!

Well organised, delicious food, amazing location

We got married at Vallum Farm on 5th August 2023. Lyndsey was so helpful and cheery all the way through the wedding process. I was looking for an exclusive venue with good food, laid back atmosphere, that didn't have a conveyor belt of weddings coming through each week. Vallum ticked all the boxes. The marquee is a blank canvas for decorations, and the tipi is so well decorated and quirky, food amazing and staff so friendly and happy!

The BEST wedding venue!

I just wanted to send you a review for you to put on your website, I couldn't not rave about you!! Ever since I saw Vallum Farm all those years ago, I knew I wanted to get married there (Vicky I'm sure you'll remember me saying so!). So as soon as we got engaged, I had to show Callum and he loved it just as much as me! Right from the beginning you were SO helpful, you couldn't do enough for us, and we appreciated you so much. Lyndsey the day ran so smoothly!! Thank you!

"We booked our wedding at Vallum Farm back in 2019, for June 2022. As soon as we walked into the venue, we just knew it was for us. A very relaxed and bright feel inside the marquee, with a cosy, chilled vibe in the tipi on the lawn. The whole venue was a blank canvas which we loved as we could be creative and make it our own. Vicky is so lovely and welcoming. Every little detail was covered."

Alex and Tom were married here on 30th July 2022- " We couldn’t be happier that we chose Vallum for our wedding. We got the sense early on that the venue was beautiful but fun, friendly and relaxed, and that’s exactly what we got. The surroundings and the marquee and tipi make it a great space, but it’s the team that makes it really special. Vicky made the whole process really clear to us, which made planning the day so much more enjoyable and stress-free.

Rosie and Matt June 2022 I cannot say enough how amazing this venue and the staff were. The food was incredible (man that chicken and gravy was awesome - and all the vegans were chuffed with their food too!), the staff were helpful and informative, the service was top notch. I genuinely don't know how they don't have a wedding their every single day, this is definitely a venue that has slipped through the cracks, and I envision that it is going to get super popular in the years to come. Amazing

Just want to say what an amazing wedding we had at Vallum Farm. From the day we booked it to the actual wedding day everything was just perfect. Vicky and Lindsey couldn't do enough for us. Our day ran so smoothly, and we didn't have to worry about a thing. All of our guests commented on how amazing the venue was, and the food beautiful. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married in the future. Thank you again Ashleigh and David Reeson ❤

Great venue, lovely staff and delicious food!

Great venue, lovely staff and delicious food! Vallum was the third wedding venue we viewed but we instantly fell in love with it. It’s beautiful countryside surroundings and super friendly team made it the venue for us. From our first visit up until the big day, all of the staff helped us so much! Vicky and Alice particularly were always willing to answer any question we had and do their best to make it a very special day, which it was! They worked with us, our families and our other suppliers on all our ideas for the day. It was a more affordable option than similar venues but still delivered all we could hope for. Great value for money with all the extras thrown in (decorations, the outside tipi, fire pits etc.) And the priceless personal touch given by the team who genuinely cared! We’d recommend Vallum to anyone looking to have a countryside wedding for all of these reasons!

Vallum farm is a magical place

Me and James got married on the 30th May 2019 at Vallum Farm. After 1 year of being engaged and planning the wedding with Vicky and Alice we can say our experience was very enjoyable! We had a blast talking about decorations, food and planning the whole day with them. The day went smoothly, and Alice ensured everything was perfect for us! We were allowed to decorate the room the night before which was extremely helpful! We had none stop food and drink from Vallum Farm which made us feel like king and queens on the day. Vicky and Alice are so friendly, and you feel you can tell them anything, good and bad which is a real positive when it comes to wedding planning. Vicky helped us step by step plan the wedding as me and my husband James had no idea what a wedding entailed at times! They truly looked after us and made our day very special. Vallum Farm will be a place which will forever remain in our hearts and Vicky and Alice will also have a space in our hearts forever. Vallum farm is a magical place, its beautiful and filled with gorgeous greens and animals. It’s one of those places that we would call heaven on earth… I suppose getting married on Ascension Day, it’s quite fitting.

Our wedding at Vallum was simply beautiful.

Our wedding at Vallum was simply beautiful. The tipi/marquee and surroundings captured exactly what we were looking for and Alice and Vicky were so flexible, offering solutions to suit both our personal style and budget. Our guests loved the relaxed atmosphere and are still talking about the delicious food which again, was tailored perfectly to our requirements. There was a particular moment I recall while dancing with our 2 Labradors when I suddenly realised how amazing it was that we were able to share such an important day with not only our family and friends but our beloved pets too and the beautiful surroundings made for some perfect photographs. Thank you so much Vallum
