A Botanical Dream: Weddings at The Garden Room, Newcastle

If you’re looking for a wedding venue that combines contemporary charm with botanical beauty, The Garden Room at The Biscuit Factory in Newcastle might just be the perfect spot for you. I recently had the pleasure of being involved in a wedding shoot there, and I was blown away by its unique atmosphere and stunning aesthetic.

Nestled in the heart of Newcastle’s cultural quarter, The Biscuit Factory is the UK’s largest independent contemporary art, craft, and design gallery. This former Victorian warehouse has been beautifully transformed, housing incredible gallery spaces over two floors. Every season, you can find an eclectic mix of fine art, sculpture, original prints, jewelry, and stylish homewares from over 200 artists. It’s a creative haven that brings a vibrant energy to any event.

The Garden Room itself is a tropical-plant filled paradise inspired by Victorian Winter Gardens but with a chic, modern twist. Imagine saying your vows under a treble height ceiling, with golden chandeliers casting a warm glow over gently swaying palms and an indoor waterfall providing a soothing soundtrack. It’s an enchanting setting that promises both elegance and a touch of the exotic.

Their standard wedding package includes everything you need for a memorable day: exclusive use of the venue, celebratory drinks, canapés, and a seasonal three-course wedding breakfast. For those looking to add a bit more luxury, their upgraded package includes extra touches like Champagne toasts and a delectable evening menu, perfect for couples who want to make a lasting impression. And if you’re planning a reception-only event, perhaps following a religious or registry office ceremony, The Garden Room offers a discount on their pricing. This versatile space accommodates between 70 to 120 guests and is fully wheelchair accessible, ensuring everyone can enjoy the celebration comfortably. Plus, their contemporary ghost chairs add a stylish touch to the décor.

Having experienced the magic of The Garden Room firsthand, I can confidently say it’s a venue that combines the best of Newcastle’s cultural vibe with the timeless beauty of nature.
