Facilities and Capacity

If you decide that you want your happily ever after to take place on this luxurious Grade II-listed estate, you will be spoiled for choice with ceremony and reception options. Experience nature when marrying the one you love in the hall’s outdoor spaces. At the old chapel door, Lartington Hall’s distinctive walls make the perfect backdrop for your first kiss as a married couple. Or, on a bright spring day, walk down the aisle on their perfectly manicured lawns. Taking a look inside, there are many opulent spaces. The grand chapel is ideal for a couple who love the style of a traditional church wedding with high ornate ceilings and stained-glass windows. The drawing room, with its delicate wallpaper and solid oak flooring, is an excellent choice for an intimate ceremony. The tall columns, dazzling chandelier, and marble fireplace of the ballroom would enchant any couple. Afterwards, it would also be the perfect reception hall. With the addition of a dancefloor and a bar, you and your guests can feel like you have been invited to a royal ball for the evening.

The flavour and quality of ingredients are incredibly important and the chefs use only the freshest ingredients from the estate’s fields, gardens, and local producers. Their bar is equally top-quality. Premium cocktails, Northeastern cask ales, and an extensive wine menu are all delightfully served by their skilled bartenders.

Flawless from start to finish

We could not have wished for a better day. The team at Lartington are absolutely outstanding! Becca and Ian were fantastic and made our day run flawlessly. All of our guests commented on the service, the food and the venue saying how amazing it all was. I would highly recommend this venue!

Our dream wedding - absolutely perfect!

We got married on 25th October 2024 and in one word - perfect! The venue is stunning and we fell in love with Lartington Hall even more when we realised how exclusive the venue was. Emma and the co-ordination team were excellent from start to finish, communicating and attending to every request. The day itself was perfect, Becca Joycelynne and Richard on the day (accompanied by their teams) helped to make everything go so smoothly. We can't think of one thing that went wrong or wasn't done. The staff at Lartington Hall were as excited about our wedding as we were and really blended in with the whole wedding party with their kindness, energy and attention to detail. 5 star all round, would fully recommend Lartington Hall and the Apartment Group - again, special thanks to Emma, Becca, Joycelynne and Richard for making the whole experience so special.

The most perfect day

Lartington Hall was everything we dreamed of and more. Paige farndell was our coordinator and she was amazing at putting all our details together to make our day so magical. Our wedding manager and master of ceremonies were so professional and helpful that our day was stress free and everything we imagined and more. Our guests commented on how great these two people were and Nothing was too much trouble and they really went above and beyond for our day. Wish we could do it all over again.

We had the most amazing day at Lartington Hall!

Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff - they were so professional and on hand throughout the day. The master of ceremonies was absolutely fantastic. The staff pay attention to every single detail to make sure you have the best day ever, the grounds are beautiful and exclusive use of the space makes it so special.

Thank you Lartington Hall!

Best experience ever!

The most magical, exceptional day ever!

Going through the planning process with our wedding planner Beth was easy and she was there to answer any questions. I can't imagine the planning that goes on to make our day go smoothly but can't thank her enough! The staff were so lovely, professional and down to earth. The manager Rebecca made sure the day went to plan, made sure we had time for each other and helped me (bride) by calming me down and going at our pace. Our master of ceremonies-Richard was also lovely and very professional to say he has only been doing it for a couple of months. He helped my husband just before he did his speech and eased his nerves. Little details like this really made our day and showed that they wanted the best for us. Our wedding food was the best food we had ever tasted! The venue itself is so romantic-describing it to friends and family is modern antique and once people were there for our special day, they realized why we fell in love with Lartington Hall.

Wow!! Such a beautiful venue

Our experience of Lartington Hall was incredible from start to finish. Our wedding coordinator Emily was so friendly and helpful through the whole process, the venue was stunning, and the venue staff were so incredible on the day. From sending me mojitos whilst I got ready to a complimentary room upgrade the night before, as well as complimentary confetti and sparklers on the day, my guests had nothing but incredible things to say about our wedding day! I think her name was Becca, but she stood out and was a shining star through the day!
Thank you so much for making our day extra special!!

A beautiful venue and fantastic team

Lartington Hall is an incredible venue, with beautiful rooms and grounds. It really does have so much to offer. Additionally the TAG team from booking to after the day could not be more helpful. They walked us through every step, kept us calm and on track through the day and did the upmost to ensure everyone had a great time.

In terms of value for money in comparison to the other venues we looked at, Lartington has far more to offer.

Thank you to the TAG team for making the day so easy and special.

A beautiful venue

Lartington Hall was everything we imagined and more. The venue and grounds are absolutely stunning. All of our guests were really impressed and loved it! The photos online don’t do it justice.

Our wedding manager Ruth was so lovely and attentive, she was so fun and upbeat, the perfect person to lead you through the day. All of the other staff at the venue were lovely too.

Jenna our wedding coordinator was sooo helpful, especially with last minute changes leading up to the day.

The only thing I would highlight is the morning after the wedding is quite rushed for the next bride and groom. But I presume most venues are similar if a wedding is booked the following day.

The Perfect Day!

We had the best day at Lartington Hall. Our Wedding coordinator Emma Cheslett was a Godsend from start to finish, and Charlie, our Wedding Manager on the day was amazing, nothing was too much trouble and everything ran so smoothly. The venue was stunning, and the food & drinks were delicious! We never stopped smiling all day, and can’t recommend the Apartment Group more!

Such a beautiful venue!

We decided to book through Apartment Group due to their multiple stunning locations and great last minute deals. Organising our wedding in little over 3 months seemed daunting, however TAG were so helpful from the start, including organising viewings for a few venues, and introducing us to Lartington Hall (which we had never heard about).
The minute we viewed Lartington we knew we had to be married there!
We did have a few hiccups, as the venue redecorated some areas without our knowledge, only one week before our big day, which was a shock, however upon viewing the newly painted chapel and honeymoon suite, we only fell more in love with the venue. It is stunning!

The staff catered to all of our need and wishes, and were so helpful. Especially the team on the day, Josh and Ruth, they were absolutely fantastic, especially given they were short staffed they could not do enough for us! We are so grateful to them for making us feel at ease and having everything under control.

Having the venue from Friday to Sunday was a dream and meant we could spend the entire weekend with our friendly and family.
We would definitely recommend the venue, and TAG, and wish we could do our big day all over again! - Mr and Mrs Mellor.

Lartington Hall Wedding

We booked our wedding with 7 weeks to spare and truly could not have received a better service from the company and the venue! Our day was truly magical and everything we asked for was put in place, no matter how big or small! Down to the finest detail, it was simply stunning. I genuinely could not give enough praise and thanks when it comes to this place! We have recommended to so many people. Our guests complimented absolutely everything and also stated it was simply perfect.
