Our Autumnal Wedding
We recently had our wedding at the Le Petit Chateau, a little gem in the North East!
Our day was perfect from the beginning to the very end! Our wedding manager, Tia introduced herself to us on the evening before our wedding and was so helpful - she was also on hand when our 8 month old decided to splash my wedding dress with Balsamic Vinegar! :-O. Tim (Master of Ceremonies) was excellent, and was loved by all of our guests!
You really can’t fault the beautiful gardens, and the venue! Genuinely felt like we were in the South of France, even if it was in the middle of October. All our guests were so complimentary of the venue.
One thing to note, our wedding coordinator left the company and we were therefore allocated a new coordinator, Beth. To be honest, we found it very difficult to get in touch with her, and was unresponsive to several of my emails and phone calls. I am unsure as to why this was, or whether this was intentional, but it concerned us with how our day would go. Fortunately for us, all staff on the day were incredible!
Thank you so much LPC, we had the BEST day!

Hannah Q. Sent on 04/09/2024Le Petit Chateau - Honest and few tips :)
We had our wedding at Le Petit Chateau on August 22, 2024, and we couldn't be happier with our choice! From the moment we booked the venue back in 2022, the experience has been fantastic.
During our initial visit, Tim provided a tour that truly set the tone for our special day. He added music to the tour, which made the ceremony chapel feel so real and emotional—this was a tipping point for us in deciding to book the venue.
Over the two years leading up to our wedding, we were paired with a few different wedding coordinators, ultimately finishing with Beth in the final year. Beth was incredibly helpful, replying promptly to our emails and supporting us as we finalized our plans. We met with her about 6-8 weeks before the wedding to run through the details, which was beneficial in visualising how the day would unfold and discussing décor.
On the day itself, everything ran perfectly from morning until the evening. Tim did an excellent job as the Master of Ceremonies, mingling with guests and ensuring everything flowed smoothly.
We had an amazing range of vendors that contributed to making our day so special, including:
• Hattie Murdock (Live Singer)
• Luke Howells (Magician)
• What Hannah Does (Live Artist)
• Luxury Vending (Ice-Creams)
• House of Sax (Band)
• Vegas Casino Hire (Roulette Table)
• Jellicoe Cake House (Cake)
• A trio of media: Gemma Summers Photography, Jolly Films, and Content and Confetti
All of them were fantastic and deserve a 5-star rating—we highly recommend each and every one!
Additionally, I had a fabulous glam team: Kate-Elizabeth Make-Up and Get A Grip Hairdressing, who made me feel amazing!
However, I would like to share a few points for future couples that we learned along the way:
• The menu choices aren’t as restricted as we initially thought; you can change flavours of desserts and opt for other options (like Parmos). We wish we had known this before sending out our invites and menu options.
• We communicated two weeks before the wedding that two guests would be dropping out, but unfortunately, nothing could be done about this. Be prepared to lose your money on meals, as we asked to use the cost for additional items (like shots on the table), but this wasn’t allowed. Make sure you are certain of your final numbers at least four weeks before the big day.
• We experienced an uncomfortable moment with the wedding manager, who discussed other couples in a negative manner, mentioning how she found other weddings boring (including one that was held the evening before ours). We found this very rude and raised our concerns via email, as I wouldn’t want another bride to feel as uncomfortable as I did around that staff member, wondering if I was being judged too.
• Don’t stress too much about the décor! The team is fantastic and runs weddings daily. They know what works and will help bring your vision to life. What you envision will become a beautiful reality!
• You’ve chosen your suppliers for a reason—trust their expertise! They are there to make your day special and will handle everything seamlessly .I stressed way more than was needed, everything works out!
• Breathe and Enjoy: Take a moment to breathe and soak it all in. The day will fly by, so make sure to enjoy every second!
Overall, we had a wonderful wedding experience and would recommend it to any couple looking for a beautiful venue with great support. Thank you to everyone who made our day so special!

The dream venue
Le Petit Chateau has always been one of those venues where you see people get married and you think that’s it that’s the dream venue. When we got engaged we knew it was a place that would be high on the list. I fell in love as soon as I walked through the door! The venue is stunning with those French Mediterranean vibes. From booking or wedding to right up to the day before communication with Beth our wedding coordinator was amazing; she was always on hand to help, kept in constant communication and had every single detail covered. On the day the venue couldn’t do enough for us, every details was covered, the decor and venue was set up exactly how we wanted and looked stunning. Tia (our on the day manager) and Tim (master of ceremonies) were both outstanding and were a constant support and ensured the day ran smoothly. If you want to perfect day, in the perfect venue, with the perfect setting and not lift a finger with everything take care of, then Le Petit Chateau should be top of your list. -

Nicky Sent on 16/08/2024Perfect venue
We had the BEST day ever. From the minute we saw the ceremony room, we knew it was where we wanted to get married. The support in the run up and on the day were incredible, the team definitely made the whole process so stress free and definitely meant I was relaxed and could just enjoy everything.
Alysha helped with all of the organisation and prep before the wedding and made sure we had absolutely everything covered. Our wedding coordinator on the day couldn't do enough to help us, nothing was too much trouble and the whole day ran seamlessly.
All of our guests had nothing but praise for the venue and the wonderful staff. I just wish we could do it all over again! -

Incredible venue, incredible staff, incredible day.
Only thing I would say is the printer for the Photo Booth jammed a few times, with our guests coming to me to say it wasn’t working, so I took time out of my day to find staff, but otherwise couldn’t fault any other aspect.
Beth our wedding coordinator was faultless, Chloe and Tim on the day made us feel incredibly at ease and in safe hands. -

Olivia C. Sent on 03/04/2024Amazing venue! You forget you are in the UK
From the moment we looked around Le Petit Chateau we knew we had to book it for our wedding day. Not only did the hidden gardens, stunning ceremony room and overall look of the venue make it very easy to say yes, but the staff also were amazing!
Contact on the run up was amazing, with even the smallest question answered pretty quickly. Rachel Spratt made the organising and planning those final details super easy! We arrived the evening before knowing everything would go smoothly and we would be taken care of.
On the day everyone was brilliant! We had Tia looking after us and no job was too big. Me and the girls stayed in the apartment the night before and spent the morning having a relaxing breakfast and getting ready. The day went exactly the way we had hoped, and with Tim on site all day he really made the wedding that much better! He is amazing with the guests, everyone thought he was so funny and he was always there to make sure everything was going well.
I can't thank the staff enough, and the entire venue was simply stunning. Everyone was blown away with the venue and we wish we could do it all over again.
