Wynyard Hall is a superb location in which to get married. Whether it be a civil ceremony or you would like to get married in our chapel your dream wedding can become a reality. You can benefit from the total exclusivity of using the whole hall and ensure a day and night of celebration you and your guests will never forget.

The crown granted tenancy of the Wynyard Estate in 1230 and it has been in use ever since. It wasn’t until the tenure of the 3rd Marquess of Wynyard that the Hall became the talk of Europe. Lady Frances established herself as the most glamorous hostess in England. Indeed, it inspired Disraeli to remark “I never left London with such a sense of relief and such anticipation of happiness”.

With typical flamboyance and style the Londonderrys entertained royalty, prime ministers, foreign dignitaries, generals, scholars, writers and artists. With a guest list including Charles Dickens, Disraeli, Sir Robert Peel, Churchill, King Edward VII, Elizabeth II and ‘regular’ the Duke of Wellington.

  Now you have the opportunity to join this illustrious list by holding your wedding at Wynyard Hall and have your special day photography carried out by one of the region’s finest practitioners of the craft – David Lawson.

The Chapel, enlarged in 1861 after a serious fire and extensively remodelled in the early 20th century, is the perfect and secluded venue for your marriage. The elaborate ceiling supported by the grand columns of Pavonazza marble provide the perfect romantic backdrop to traditional wedding ceremonies.

Perhaps more than any other room in the house the Chapel evokes the days of great splendour at Wynyard Hall when it was the noble seat of one of England’s great soldiers and his accomplished and beautiful wife. When you visit Wynyard please take a moment to reflect on the brilliance of the ‘court’ held here 130 years ago when events were stage managed by two people with a sense for occasion and theatre that were unmatched at the time.
