Matfen Hall Country Hotel

About Matfen Hall Golf & Spa

Matfen Hall’s wedding day unfolds around its historic estate in Northumberland, where couples and their guests move through a series of carefully considered spaces. The day often begins with a showround of the estate, allowing couples to explore the Great Hall, Le Jardin Hollandais and other areas they might choose for ceremony, drinks or reception.

Ceremonies and celebrations centre around the Great Hall with its oak staircase and architectural details, while couples who prefer a more traditional service can also look to a selection of local churches close by. After vows, guests gather among the estate’s grounds and distinctive ceremony backdrops for drinks and photographs, then move into exclusive interior spaces later in the day.

The venue includes dedicated areas for different parts of the day: the Vault Bar and Needham Bar host celebrations and evening gatherings, offering spaces suited to both larger receptions and more intimate moments. Throughout the planning process, enquiries and showrounds begin discussions about menus, courses and how couples want their day to unfold.

This approach to weddings emphasises a flow between historic architecture, varied celebration spaces, tailored hospitality and the surrounding grounds, giving couples a structured yet adaptable framework for how their wedding day progresses.
