Brittany Sent on 19/01/2025Gorgeous venue!
We got married abroad and wanted somewhere budget friendly to throw a big reception when we got home to invite all of our family and friends who couldn’t make it to our ‘real’ wedding. St Chad’s was perfect. We both agreed that it would have been amazing to have the full wedding day there if we hadn’t gotten married abroad. The venue is beautiful and needs very minimal decor, the surrounding area is gorgeous for photos and the packages are very reasonable! We chose to have a hot sandwich buffet which was really nice! The gardens were a lovely place for our guests (especially kids) to be if they weren’t dancing. An all round lovely venue at a very reasonable price.Weddings at St Chad's's reply:
Thank you so much, Brittany. We are so glad you thought our venue was perfect for your celebration! Best wishes to you both. -

Rebecca Sent on 20/10/2024We wish we could get married here all over again!
Not to be cliche, but we absolutely had the best day of our lives getting married at St. Chads!
We are both Durham Univeristy graduates, so getting married at St. Chads meant a lot to us both.
The venue was perfect for our elegant but relaxed wedding. The space worked so beautifully for the whole day, and the transformation of the quad from ceremony room to dance floor was seamless. The building is so charming that hardly any decoration is needed, but the decoration provided by the team at St. Chads was the perfect extra touch (plus beautiful table and chair decorations by The Artisan Wedding House).
We were lucky enough to have glorious weather,...Weddings at St Chad's's reply:

The perfect wedding venue!
St Chad's is one of the most beautiful venues in Durham and as we met each another at Durham University, it was a no brainer for us! Darryl and Lesley were a fantastic team and worked hard to ensure all our requests are catered for. Communication was prompt and the pre-wedding meeting was helpful to clarify all our questions. The food portion from the canapes, wedding breakfast and evening buffet were generous, delicious and outstanding service by the kitchen and waiting staff. Darryl was around the entire day of our wedding to make sure things went smoothly and we felt very well looked after. The Quad area was stunning and with a large screen allowed us to put up...Weddings at St Chad's's reply:

The ultimate wedding venue!
It’s hard to imagine a venue more perfect than this one! Darryl and Lesley truly went above and beyond to help us with our special day; one we will never forget. Nothing was too much trouble and the attention to detail and co-ordination with suppliers was exceptional! With St Chad’s you’re getting a venue that is beautiful architecturally but maintains a relaxed feel. The variety of space for guests on offer is also what led us to choose here; there are places for friends and family to chat and gather indoors and outdoors as well as a dance floor for a boogie later. The food at the wedding breakfast and evening buffet was also delicious and of a really...Weddings at St Chad's's reply:

A perfect day with friendly and helpful co-ordinators
We had a really chilled wedding at Chad's. The wedding co-ordinator(s) matched our vibe from the moment we told them about our ideas to the execution itself, meaning that we had the least stressful experience possible. The venue itself is stunning, the ceremony room has floods of natural light and the various different spaces allow you to break up the day. Our guests were so complimentary of the food and the service.
All our ideas and questions were met with helpful and responsive answers, and no question was too stupid, and no request was too much. We had a beautiful day.Weddings at St Chad's's reply:
We are so glad you had a beautiful day! It was lovely getting to know you both and we hope you are enjoying life as newlyweds! -

Claire Sent on 10/08/2024Perfect Wedding Venue
We chose St Chad's for its location, beauty and as a Durham graduate, its unique link to the University and Cathedral. We had our wedding reception here in April 2024 and highly recommend this wedding venue. Lesley and Darryl were extremely helpful from the start, always willing to answer our questions promptly and nothing was too big of an ask. On the day, Darryl was an incredible coordinator who did everything to ensure that we stayed happy and present in each moment. Darryl, along with the catering team, worked together seamlessly to deliver an exceptional service. They catered to a range of dietary requirements. Overall, we can't recommend Chad's highly enough. It truly is a hidden gem if you are getting married in Durham. Thank you!Weddings at St Chad's's reply:
