Wedding Function Rooms

Located at the heart of the Northumberland countryside, just outside the picturesque village of Morpeth, the Macdonald Linden Hall Golf & Country Club is a beautiful venue for any wedding. Make the most of our vast lawns and hold a relaxed summer wedding in a marquee pitched in the open air. Alternatively, plan a warming reception as the leaves on our tree-lined drive begin to change and gather your guests around the Inner Hall's open fire. With its own dance floor and space for up to 260 guests, the Bigge Suite is the obvious choice for grand evening receptions, while a smaller space like the Library is suited to private dinners.

  Wedding Photographs

  Precious memories from your perfect day

  A guide to wedding photography at Linden Hall by Mark Williamson,
  Master Photographer.

  Macdonald Linden Hall is, without doubt, one of the region's finest
  wedding venues. The manicured estate and floral borders around the
  entrance and Secret Garden are ideal for group photography, whilst
  the original Georgian entrance, with its soaring pillars, is perfect
  for capturing the arrival of guests and carriages. Whilst enjoying
  Linden Kir and welcoming guests, I find this an excellent opportunity
  to secure informal images, giving your album a real sense of
  enjoyment and atmosphere.

  The Inner Hall and grand staircase benefit from natural light from
  the original glass ceiling dome and in many cases allows for
  photography without flash, truly capturing the soft tones and warmth
  of people whilst remaining true to texture, fabrics and furniture.

  As your party gather in the cocktail bar and drawing room, additional
  natural images are taken that fully represent the happiness of your
  special day. More formal images are taken within your chosen ballroom
  or suite immediately after your ceremony or partnership. It is vital
  to secure those lasting memories of joy. Your guests are then
  invited to join the photography outside.

  Macdonald Linden Hall's estate, ballrooms and more intimate smaller
  suites are always well presented with impressive attention to even
  the smallest detail. I have been a professional photographer for over
  10 years, have worked at many venues throughout the United Kingdom
  and boast an enviable portfolio, but nowhere feels quite like
  Macdonald Linden Hall.

  A grand, romantic and impressive venue for the
  most special of occasions.

  Mark Williamson MPA

  Master Photographer.
