Gateshead Wedding Venue

Don't look anywhere else for a wedding, get the willows booked! I can't even find the words to say thank you, they don't seem enough! From coming for a viewing of the beautiful willows, planning process, constant emails (seeking reassurance), multiple meetings and then the big day itself everything was perfect throughout. It's clear how hard you guys all work, even those who work behind the scenes and we don't even see. Please pass our thanks on. My biggest thank you has to go to Fiona, Fiona you are truly dedicated to your job, your work ethic is unbelievable and you are the nicest person. Everyone has commented on how accommodating all the staff were, how amazing the venue was and how beautiful the food was too. Thank you so so much once again!

We recently had our wedding here and we cannot recommend The Willows at the Woodmans enough. The venue is absolutely stunning and in beautiful surroundings. The Willows team are all so friendly and helpful throughout the whole process of booking and organising the day. On the wedding day, Kirsty and her team were so helpful and organised so that the day ran so smoothly and ensured we had the best day. The food is so tasty and all our guests commented on how it was the best wedding food they had ever eaten! We had the most perfect day here and can not speak highly enough about the whole Willows team and venue.

We had the most amazing wedding day here from start to finish. The venue is absolutely stunning, the food is amazing and the staff are fantastic. We had so many positive comments from our guests. I would like to say a huge thank you to our wedding planners who made the whole process so easy (and for fixing my wedding dress when the strap snapped!). If we could choose any venue in the country to redo our wedding, we'd still choose this one!

100% honest, 100% experts and 100% would use again. Great communication and nothing was too much trouble. Huge thank you for making our wedding day extra special ✨

We can’t thank the Woodmans enough for their service, organisation and support as we planned our big day here. The staff are SO friendly and kind and could not do enough for us! As expected, the food was absolutely amazing and the menu choices are great, lots to choose from and all equally as nice! The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and we were over the moon that our dog could join us for photos on the day too. Thank you to Fiona, Kayleigh and Kirsty and the staff who worked our wedding - you’re all amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Here for my sons wedding. A small but gorgeous venue. Everything was really dressed and to a fantastic standard. Rooms where furnished and decorated to a high quality. Would recommend.

The best day ever! There are no words to explain how amazing the team are- nothing is too much trouble and every single person went above and beyond to make sure the day ran so smoothly. Thank you Kayleigh and Fiona for everything on the day. The venue is beautiful!! We had many compliments about the food and the venue! We couldn’t have imagined our day anywhere else it was perfect from start to finish thank you all! Xxx

From the planning process to the day, our experience with The Willows at The Woodmans team was phenomenal! They made the planning and all bridal worries disappear. On the day the ceremony, the food and absolutely everything was effortless. They ensured me and my new husband had a minute together after the ceremony to take everything in and honestly cannot thank them enough!

Amazing venue, incredible staff and the food was to die for ❤️ Our wedding coordinators went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and that our day was going perfectly. They made me feel like a queen 🤍 Thank you so much for everything, we couldn't have asked for more.

Thank you so much for making our day so amazing! The venue was beautiful and so many people commented on how good the food was! Fiona ran our day and couldn’t have done a better job, nothing at all was too much trouble and she really did make the day even more perfect. The full team were amazing from the ladies helping us with booking and organising right through to the kitchen and bar staff. Special shout out to Ruth for helping with our planning and calling me late at night to calm my meltdown

Couldn’t recommend The Willows anymore if I tried! I honestly don’t know where to start from the second I met Fiona Alex & Ruth I knew I had absolutely nothing to worry about nothing is too much hassle for the willows team. The willows has been done out to a very high standard and is an all round great venue! Once again a massive thank you.

Me and Rachael would just like to say a huge thankyou to Fiona, Ruth and Alex. You were all a huge help from day one, and we can't thank you enough for how our wedding turned out. Everyone has commented how much they enjoyed our wedding, and we would highly recommend your amazing venue to anyone.

Fiona and Ruth were fantastic throughout the planning, and Ruth was by our side all day to make sure it went without a glitch. The whole day was a dream, and nothing was too much trouble for the first class staff. The food, drinks and venue were all amazing, we couldn’t have wished for a more perfect day.

Fantastic from start to finish. Food was incredible and the venue was amazing. The team were perfect and made our day. Fiona went above and beyond with service and helped come up with excellent ideas to make our ceremony/reception perfect, they worked so hard to make our day run smoothly.

We would literally recommend the Willows to anyone looking for a wedding venue! The venue is just beautiful, the staff are second to non and the food is unreal. Fiona (the willows wedding coordinator) could not have been more helpful, nothing was too much trouble. We did not have a single stress on the day. They made it perfect.

We were let down by our previous wedding venue with only 3 months to go until our big day. Time was against us but thankfully Fiona at the Willows came to our rescue, at the time of our first initial phone call the willows was not even built, quite literally a building site. After several discussions with Fiona and a promise of “ we will get it done in time” we went for it! We were involved throughout which was reassuring for us and the day itself was faultless, a perfect day.
