Hi everyone,
I am getting married at Shotton Grange in Northumberland in 2026. The venue have confirmed that there is a wedding there the day before ours so we are unable to get into the Bridal Suite until 11:30, the morning of our wedding (ceremony is at 13:30).
I didn't realise it would be so tight for getting ready when we booked the venue. I only have my MOH, 1 Bridesmaid and my Mam who also need hair and make up done + myself however I know 2 hours absolutely wont be enough time for everyone.
I am just wondering if anyone else has gotten married/is planning on getting married at this venue and are in the same position? My thoughts are to book a nice hotel in Newcastle with a late check out but I really had my heart set on us all getting ready at the venue and getting the photos taken there, as the Bridal suite is so lovely. I'm just feeling a bit anxious now as the day seems a bit disjointed if we get ready elsewhere! We'll have to get ready (hope my photographer will come to the hotel + then the venue) and then put all of our normal clothes on, drive to the venue and put our nice matching robes back on for staged photos!
I know it's probably not a massive issue in the grand scheme of things but sometimes when you have a vision for something in your head and it isn't quite what you imagined, it can be a bit anxiety inducing!
Thanks everyone
