January/February 2023

 
Do you know what I’ve enjoyed most about this issue? Looking at our reader weddings! I always love a good ‘how we got together and how my partner proposed’ story, but in fact it was seeing my couples crease up during their celebrations that really put a smile on my face. Yes, it’s a bit of a cliché, but my word it’s true. Looks fade, but laughter is everlasting, so nothing’s more satisfying than seeing two people who truly love each other have a good old snigger at what could well be the silliest of things; something that no one else will truly get but them.

With this in mind let me turn your attention to the three amazing reader weddings we have in store. Over on page 27 meet Anna and Matt, who were friends for years before finally realising they were meant to be together. Trust me, you’ll want to read all about their big day – Mr Blobby and ABBA both rocked up!

Next, say hello to Robyn and Lauren, over on page 32. We’ve never heard of a bottle of Lucozade being thrown over someone as a way of flirting, but it must have worked, with the couple saying, ‘We do!’ at The Willows at the Woodmans. Finally, turn to page 39 to read all about Sarah and Andrew’s Langley Castle celebrations. Sarah’s dress really does have the ‘wow’ factor and is proof you don’t have to be decked out in white for your big day.

All that plus the best North East cake-makers (p45), unbelievable gowns (p67), honeymoon hotspots (p87) and more.

Wynyard Hall

Beyond the beauty of exclusive wedding venue Wynyard Hall lies a fascinating history, enriched by a huge cast of characters, who all played their part in its remarkable story. For generations, thanks to the considerable social and political influence of the Londonderry family and their circle of friends, Wynyard performed an important role on the world stage, playing host to royalty, aristocrats, politicians, diplomats, artists and writers. Now you, too, can play a part in the 120 acre venue’s history, saying your vows there before showcasing the fabulous rolling countryside views to your guests on the incredible outdoor terrace.

A unique feature of Wynyard Hall is that it’s one of a few unique venues that can provide couples with both religious and civil ceremony options, as well as reception rooms, all under one roof. Tie the knot in its 18th century private chapel in front of 120 seated guests, surrounded by stained glass windows and Italian marble walls. Alternatively, if you’re looking for something a little less traditional, the character and charm of the Ballroom (150 guests) or Mirror Room (100 guests) make for two stunning alternatives for a civil ceremony. Next, for your reception, head to one of Wynyard Hall’s state rooms for all your wedding needs. Grand scale celebrations and flamboyant entertainment are written in the history of the Hall, where lavish festivities, balls, garden parties and entertaining royalty were part and parcel of the venue. Here, you’ve the capacity and flexibility to create a wonderfully lavish evening reception, where you and up to 300 guests can dance the night away to a live band, followed by a dazzling fireworks display over the lake.
