When Olivia and Matty kept returning to Seaham Hall, they knew this luxurious, well-loved venue was the one.

The couple met nine years ago on a night out in Sunderland and from there, the rest was history.

“The first bar my friends and I went into, Matty happened to be in there – the rest is history!”

THE VENUE:

The welcoming ambience and unique style of Seaham Hall was one of the first things the couple fell in love with. This gorgeous venue gave Olivia and Matty the most captivating backdrop for their rustic wedding.

“We wanted a luxurious and exquisite venue to celebrate our special day.  We loved the idea of the “exclusive use” wedding experience for ourselves, friends and family.”

The unique style and welcoming ambience of this venue ticked every box. The dramatic surroundings and rugged coastline of this 5-star resort pretty much sealed the deal for them.

“Every time we visited Seaham Hall prior to our wedding day, we knew we had made the right decision – staff, service and surroundings, simply perfect.”

THE OUTFITS:

Olivia wore an eye-catching drop waist dress from Brides Dream in Newcastle, with embellished lace and a boat neckline. She also had hand-made “I do” shoes, to commemorate the special day.

“As soon as I tried it on, I knew it was the one, as they say, it was ‘my dream dress’.”

The groom wore a navy three-piece suit, with a pink tie and a pink floral arrangement in his lapel, which matched Olivia’s bouquet from Ashbrooke Florist.

PHOTOGRAPHY:

Scott Spock Photography photographed the couple’s big day. Having known Scott and Korinne for years, Olivia and Matty knew that they would capture their wedding perfectly.

Amy said, “We couldn’t possibly choose a favourite as every picture is a favourite and tells the story of our wedding day – love, laughter and happiness.”

THE BRIDE’S ADVICE:

For future Seaham Hall couples, “have the ‘exclusive use’ package as it will make your day even more special knowing it is just you, friends and family celebrating your wedding day!

Relax and enjoy every moment, take it all in!”
