Hargate Hall is not run as a hotel. When you book us as your Civil Wedding Venue it will become your house for the weekend, where you can get married and then celebrate with your friends and family. There are no ‘one size fits all’ wedding packages. We provide the wedding venue and accommodation and then with our help and advice on all the other ingredients of a memorable occasion - food and drink, music and dancing etc - you make your own dream a reality.
Weddings are family occasions, and all your guests, of every generation, should feel comfortable with the venue. Children and babies are more than welcome here and we have facilities here to ensure that they always have a great time.
As we are an unusual wedding venue we have set up a facebook group called Hargate Weddings. Feel free to have a look at it to see what people are planning and join the group.

Most of this website talks about weekend weddings, however if you are considering a mid week wedding then please contact us to discuss options. Dependent on other bookings and time of year, we may be able to offer the venue for the day only.
We are now licensed to hold civil wedding ceremonies . The main hall can hold up to 76 seated or more with a mix of seated and standing. The civil wedding ceremony itself will take place in the main hall. We are quite flexible about where you place the marriage table and seating, depending on the size of your party and whether the bride would like to enter from the front door, the main stairs, the side entrance or one of the apartments. Everything is very friendly and relaxed.
Weather permitting you could consider getting married in our small summer house, with your guests being able to sit in the grounds looking on.
Your reception drinks can also takes place in the main hall or, if the weather is fine, outside in the gardens where there is plenty of seating and beautiful views or any where else you want. This is also the time for photographs, and you will find plenty of lovely settings in and around the house for group and family shots, as well as more intimate and informal moments.
