Congratulations
The biggest day of your life
You’ve made one of the most important decisions of your life - to get married and now you need to plan for your big day.
The historic and beautiful Morritt, set in fantastic
gardens and at the heart of the stunning Teesdale
countryside should be your first stop.
You might have a very clear view of what your
wedding day should look like, or you may have
lots of questions before you decide on the style
and feel, date and time of year.
Whether you yearn for a sunny spring
wedding or a sumptuous winter ceremony,
or anything in between, every wedding whether you have 10 guests or 200 is special.
Whatever your theme, whatever your look,
whatever your desires, we’re here to help.

The Morritt promise
We know about weddings. We are one of the premier wedding venues in the region
and are passionate about the service we provide.
We are an AA four star hotel and have planned and
hosted more than 1,000 wonderful weddings and
receptions at the Morritt - and we have lots of lovely
testimonials from grateful brides and grooms.
We promise you will have access to our vast
experience and expertise to give you the confidence to
put the biggest day of your life in our hands.
We promise that your wedding will be the only
one we host on the day. No sharing facilities,
no meeting the ‘next bride’ on the stairs. We
are a unique wedding venue, not a conveyor
belt.
We promise you high quality service. We’ll
concentrate on you, so you can concentrate
on your wedding, enjoy it and have fun.
We promise that whatever your taste, and
whatever your style we’ll help you achieve
your dream wedding.

Romantic
Your wedding
Many couples are married in church and come to the Morritt for their reception.
And we have records of generations of brides and grooms doing just that.
But if you want a civil ceremony, we have some of the
most beautiful settings imaginable. And being the first
location in County Durham to offer civil ceremonies,
we have huge experience in combining ceremony
with celebration.
• The bijou Blue Room is ideal for an intimate
and cosy ceremony for up to 16.
Whatever the size of your party, you’re likely to find a
place to fit, whether it’s for a civil ceremony and
reception, or just for your celebration.
There are three bars, comfortable relaxing
lounges and gorgeous landscaped gardens,
offering a picturesque setting and excellent
photograph opportunities.
All of them can be set up to your taste and
personalised as you wish.
• We have the romantic Garden Room, which can
seat up to 100 for a civil ceremony or 60 for a
wedding breakfast.
• The stunningly impressive Ballroom can seat up to
200, and can accommodate 300 for dancing and
buffet.
• The elegant oak-lined Gilroy dining room seats up
to 60 and has an adjoining bar.
• The charming Rokeby Suite can seat up to 30 and
can be used as an extension to the Garden Room
or Ballroom.

Your choice
It’s all up to you. We have a wealth of experience in making wedding fantasies a reality
and we can help with any query you may have.
If you haven’t got your own suppliers, we have
excellent contacts who can provide everything from
flowers to cars.
We can help arrange musical entertainment we’ve booked everything from ceilidhs to brass bands,
discos to gospel choirs.
Children’s entertainment?
How about a magician or Punch and Judy?
It really is all up to you. And we can make it
happen.
