About Shotton Grange
Shotton Grange is a historic Georgian manor that was transformed into a private wedding venue just recently. Located just 5 miles outside Newcastle upon Tyne, this three-day wedding venue nestles within six acres of grand country gardens and beautifully landscaped grounds.
Unlike many other wedding venues, here you can accommodate up to 20 wedding guests and the accommodation is included in your package price. At Shotton Grange, 110 guests can be accommodated during the day, and 90 extra guests can be accommodated at night. The beautiful Coach House or the Walled Gardens are perfect places for ceremonies.
In addition to the bridal suite with private dressing room, the property also has an adjacent cottage and eight individually decorated rooms.
The Master of Ceremonies will help you organize your wedding and you can enjoy multiple reception areas following your ceremony. On the morning after your celebration, 22 people can stay over and eat a traditional cooked breakfast together.
Walking trails are available at Northumberlandia, a landform sculpture nearby. The Newcastle upon Tyne area is also home to golf clubs and country parks, as well as the Life Science Centre. Getting to the venue is less than 15 minutes from Newcastle International Airport.

FAQs on Picking a Wedding Venue
Should you book your venue early?
It is generally a good idea to book your wedding venue a year to nine months in advance. Looking a little over a year in advance might be a good idea if your dates aren't flexible. Finding the perfect wedding venue can take a few months, so you should give yourself enough time.
What is the duration of a wedding venue viewing?
It typically takes between 30 minutes and an hour to view a wedding venue. A venue viewing can last anywhere from 10-90 minutes depending on how detailed the venue coordinator goes into it, how many questions you ask, and the size of the venue.
How many people should attend a venue viewing?
The wedding venue viewing should be limited to a small group, aside from the obvious. Instead of having to weigh too many opinions, this will help the couple focus on what they want. In the case of someone paying for the venue, one might consider including and including them.
Conclusion
Often, couples find that this is the most daunting part of the process. But it does not have to be! When you choose your venue, a lot of the other vendors and pieces will start falling into place. Shotton Grange has you covered!
