THE GRAND HOTEL TYNEMOUTH 0191 293 6666 | www.grandhoteltynemouth.co.uk Nestled on the North Tyneside coast, this classically British building is an iconic fixture that’s recognisable from its grand façade – in fact, the building’s exterior has barely been touched since its original conception in 1872! Uniquely situated overlooking Longsands Beach, it offers guests and visitors exclusive panoramic views all the way across to Cullercoats on a clear day – you might even be lucky enough to spot dolphins making their way across the coast! Become legally hitched in the Pearl Room, a smaller setting to declare your love for one another in front of between between 35-100. There’s also the Orchard Suite; boasting exclusive sweeping views over the beach via large bay windows, it’s yours for larger ceremonies of between 100-150. You’ll then enjoy a reception in the same space; or alternatively choose the Grand Chambers: the largest function room that can host up to 200. THE GROTTO 0191 455 6060 | https://marsdengrotto.com Located on South Tyneside’s Marsden Bay, The Grotto is a stunning space to say your vows. It all begins as you approach the venue on the clifftops, entering a tunnel with a lift which takes you to the hotel. Then, once you reach the ground floor, The Grotto’s amazing cave is revealed! Steeped in history since it was originally blasted back in 1782, it’s even said a smuggler was hung in a barrel in a cave close to the present lift shaft back in the day and left to starve! Ghostly stories aside, The Grotto is a venue to get your guests talking for all the right reasons. Licensed to hold wedding ceremonies for up to 80, it’s exclusively yours for the day, giving you plenty of time for photos before, during and after the ceremony. You’ve also a dedicated wedding coordinator on hand to help planning with the running of your day. You can then host a breakfast for 40 – or a BBQ or buffet for up to 140 – before heading outside to the venue’s bandstand (or down to the water’s edge itself) for some incredible photography to treasure forever. www.facebook.com/fotocouture www.facebook.com/fotocouture www.davidewilliamsphotography.co.uk THEMED VENUES 21
