WEDDINGS IN CLEVELAND AND TEESSIDE AND GUISBOROUGH AND WHITBY AND SALTBURN

CELEBRATING YOUR WEDDING AT SOME OF THE BEST WEDDING VENUES IN CLEVELAND, TEESSIDE AND NORTH YORKSHIRE

If you live on the boundaries of North Yorkshire, East Cleveland and Teesside, there are not as many options for your grand wedding as in Northumberland and Durham and North Yorskshire.
However, there are stil quite a few select venues that offer a lot of substance and style for a great wedding celebration.

Gisborough Hall is one of the best - from the sweeping private driveway, to the surrounding woodlands and distant hills, Gisborough Hall Hotel exudes countryside charm and exclusive seclusion. This historic Guisborough hotel, once home to the Chaloner family, is an ivy-clad example of Victorian architecture at its very best, and has such a fantastic ambiance that brides-to-be easily fall under it's charm.

Rushpool Hall is a grand old Victorian country house in 90 acres of woodland on the outskirts of the seaside resort of Saltburn - and there are four bridal suites to choose from, but ask for exclusive use so that you don't share your day with another bride.

Dunsley Hall on the outskirts of Sandsend and Whitby is another smaller more intimate Victorian country house hotel and offers traditional comfort and wonderful food against a backdrop of period elegance.

Grinkle Park is an elegant baronial mansion with original features including high embossed ceilings and wood panelling cradled between the north Yorkshire moors on the stunning north east coast set in 35 acres including secluded woodland, a tranquil lake and views over the nearby Moors where they have their own shooting estate.

Pinchinthorpe Hall is a historic 17th century country Manor House situated in the small hamlet of Pinchinthorpe just a short drive from the historic market towns of Guisborough, Stokesley and Great Ayton. The hotel stands in ten acres of historic gardens, and is surrounded on all sides by natural woodland nestling beneath Roseberry Topping - a beautiful smaller wedding venue..

Rockliffe Hall is a new 5 star hotel country house that is not technically on Teesside, but is easilyt accessible being at Hurworth Village south of Darlington. It also has a championship golf course and the Orangery Restaurant is the flagship with Executiove Chef Kenny Atkinson. It is a beautiful location for a wedding if you have a large budget - though a small er budget for twenty or thirty people allows you use of the Rockliffe Suite where I have photographed a few weddings recently - see the link to Elizabeth's wedding on my BLOG

Crathorne Hall is also technically not on Teesside, but North Yorkshire and is near Yarm. Thjis is easily accessible to the area and is one of my favourite wedding venues. It is a beautiful intimate wedding venue, a country house with style and the staff to match and a perfect wedding venue in any season with expansive lawns and beautiful rooms if you decide to have a civil ceremony there - but Crathorne Church is just around the corner and is a perfect foil for Crathorne Hall
