The South Casey Inn is a countryside wedding venue situated in Stanley, Durham. Nestled in the heart of the Vale of Durham against the backdrop of the beautiful Beamish Valley, this unique venue offers couples a peaceful and picturesque setting for their special day. This traditional 100-acre estate features four event spaces, each exuding relaxed elegance that is ideal for informal weddings and memorable celebrations.

Facilities and Capacity

The South Casey is home to four distinctive event venues to suit all couples' themes and tastes. The Old Barn is a rustic fairy tale featuring timber accents, vaulted ceiling beams, ambient lighting and polished floors. You can host a romantic ceremony in a separate room here and say "I do" in front of your nearest and dearest. Following this, The Old Barn is transformed for evening receptions for up to 200 people. The Farmhouse features an airy and bright reception space inside the manor house's traditional stone exterior. The Durham Suite has a more modern and luxurious aesthetic and can be decorated to match your style, with muted interiors and timeless accents making it a flexible space for all occasions. This function room has a private bar, access to the scenic gardens, and an elegantly appointed ceremony room. The Beamish Barn is suitable for intimate micro weddings for 40 loved ones, with rustic character and an inviting log fire setting the tone for an evening of fine dining. The Garden Bar is a new addition to the estate and was made for pre-wedding parties and tipples throughout your wedding journey.

Outstanding Venue and Team

The wedding venue was excellent. It combines a rustic atmosphere with well-invested facilities which deliver all of the modern comforts and amenities we and our guests could have liked. The food and beverage offering was excellent, and the venue afforded ample opportunities for photographs, as well as a good amount of space regardless of the weather.

The staff were outstanding. Extremely prompt and clear with their responses, but also warm and friendly. They were flexible in meeting our small requests and adjustments, and helped guide us through what the day would look like so that we felt comfortable and confident when the big day itself came.

Exceptional

We booked our twilight wedding in February 2024 to get married June 2024. Steph was an amazing wedding planner and made everything really simple. The run up to the wedding was stress free, the staff on the day were fantastic (special thanks for Andrew) and all of our guests said how delicious the food was. We had the buffet option.

Better then i ever imagined!!

Where to begin…
We had the most perfect day from start to finish in the most amazing venue - the durham suite. Surrounded by the best family and friends our day went better then we could of ever hoped or imagined. Our co-ordinator was Andrew and we had another amazing staff member called Lee also with us on our day. They both helped make our day so perfect and nothing was ever too much. Andrew ensured the day went exactly how it was planned and guided us throughout. This took alot of stress and pressure off on the day knowing someone else was sorting everything for us meant we could relax and enjoy everything going on. Cant thank Andrew and Lee enough for everything. The Durham Suite is truly outstanding and everything was simply beautiful. Honestly just wish we could go and do it all over again and i wouldnt change a single thing. The whole day, venue, co-ordinators… everything was amazing.

Amazing venue, the best wedding coordinator

We booked our wedding the middle of March and got one of the last Fridays available for the summer.

Despite booking our package late on the venue were amazing at accommodating our wedding requests and helping us with some of the Finer details.

Stephanie helped us lots with this, the venue has such an amazing range of table decor, chair bows etc. the rooms themselves need very little dressing as they look so pretty and elegant.

Now to the big day itself. Stacey - what can I say about Stacey, she is just genuinely such a kind hearted young lady who goes above and beyond on the day. The day flowed so well, free of issues, no issues but I genuinely know had there been any she would have been straight on it.
Everyone needs a Stacey for their wedding. She became my little girls best friend on the day.

Other bits to add. Food was delicious, hot, and all seemed to come through steadily, close friends not drinking alcohol were accommodated. The disco sourced by south causey got lots of family and friends up dancing. The room set up was simply stunning both in the tAnfield and Durham suite.

I have nothing but lovely words to say about this venue - so thank you everyone who played a part in making our day so memorable

Best wedding venue ever!

We got married on 7th June and the day was nothing short of perfect. Everyone went out of their way to ensure we had the best day possible and it showed. We couldn’t be more thankful to all of the staff at South Causey. They are incredible and made our wedding what it was. Particular thanks to Stacey & Jack - you were amazing! Thank you all so much!

Gave us the perfect day

From our first visit to the South Causey Inn, we knew this was the venue for us. The venue, the setting, the staff were all amazing. And then we met Andrew! What a gentleman he is, and he couldnt have made more of an effort to ensure the build up to the day and the day itself were relaxed and everything went exactly as we wanted. Could not recommend him and the South Causey team any higher.

30.09.23 Old Barn

We had our wedding in the old barn 30/09/23. The day was perfect from start to finish and ran so smoothly. Even if there was any set backs things were sorted promptly and resolved, nothing was allowed to over shadow our day at all . The room was exactly how we imagined and all attention to details were made . We can’t thank Lauren enough. She communicated excellently pre , during and after the wedding . And it was like we had known her much longer than we had ! She assured all details were in place and checked in throughout the day . Also thank you to Morgan who again was approachable and super helpful from getting the bride to the venue to getting us back to our room and everything in between, including taking photos and making sure we got them to . They both will always be remembered as part of our special day.

The food was unbelievable and again we had so many compliments. Such a good variety and all dietary requirements tailored to .

The bridal party stayed in the duck house the night before and it just made the experience even more special , all our guests who stayed over night and came to our wedding had nothing but good things to say after .

We are so glad we picked South Causey as our wedding venue it was everything we wanted and more and can’t wait to return for our one year anniversary later this year . Thank you again.

Our perfect day at the perfect venue

Where do I begin?! We had booked The South Causey Inn 2 years in advance. We knew it was the perfect venue for us. Hotel/accommodation on site for our guests and we fell in love with The Old Barn. As soon as we had booked, we were always able to communicate with the venue easily. Each member of the wedding team are so helpful and friendly. Each step was made easy for us to organise and stress - free.

On the wedding day we had Dean as our wedding coordinator. He was THE best. He ensured our whole day ran smoothly; always reassured and checked in with us throughout the day. He was always calm, supportive and we had a great laugh with him.

Our guests enjoyed staying in the hotel, the food and the staff. Couldn't recommend this venue more. Thank you South Causey for making our dream day come true.
