Nestled in the picturesque countryside of Northumberland, Shortflatt Tower stands as a timeless symbol of elegance and romance. With its rich history and breathtaking surroundings, this enchanting wedding venue promises to create an unforgettable experience for couples seeking a fairytale celebration. I first visited Shortflatt Tower back in September 2022 for the wedding of Ashley & Tom and everything about the venue made me want to get married all over again! I feel like I built my business around styling a venue just like Shortflatt Tower and I'd finally found it. I was so honoured that they agreed to host my brand shoot (more on that in another blog) but first here's some more info on why I love this venue and some beautiful photography by 2tone Photography from Ashley & Tom's day.

If the weather permits then the lawns can cater for up to 150 guests, or for smaller ceremonies (up to 50 guests), The Vaulted Room in the main tower is the perfect place for an intimate ceremony with historic charm. My favourite has to be The Woodland Suite, with it's floor to ceiling windows where you're hugged by the surrounding ancient woodland.
