Seaham Hotel is a beautiful venue for your wedding

With a £2.5 million refurbishment now complete, Seaham Hotel is a beautiful venue for a wedding. Seaham Hall perches on a cliff-top on Durham’s Heritage Coast, just three hours by train from London. The poet Lord Byron’s wedding took place here in 1815, setting a romantic precedent for the future.

With 20 individually-designed suites and a large ballroom, it's available for exclusive hire. The 44,000 sq ft, award-winning Serenity Spa, with 17 treatment rooms and pool, is a haven of tranquillity for brides-to-be, mother of the bride and bridesmaids (and the groom, and best man, of course!).

Head Chef, Simon Bolsover leads a brigade of 18, offering creative and imaginative menus,

and a fantastic afternoon tea. As well as hosting wedding breakfasts and receptions, many of the private rooms are licensed for civil marriage ceremonies.

The gardens are extensive, and the terrace can be used for fireworks displays - a popular choice to end wedding receptions.
