I recently had the pleasure of setting up for a beautiful wedding at St Chad’s College in Durham, and wow—what a venue! If you're looking for a venue with historic charm in the North East then St Chad's should be on your list of venues to be seen. Nestled right in the shadow of the iconic Durham Cathedral, St Chad’s is like stepping into a different era. It’s located on North Bailey, a charming medieval street that oozes character. Beyond the stunning gardens, you can see the wooded gorge of the River Wear winding around the peninsula, which used to be the citadel of the Prince Bishops. How’s that for history?
The setup for this wedding took place in the glass-covered Cassidy Quad with all the right touches to give the ceremony a Bridgerton feel. I had previously only seen photo's of the Cassidy Quad on social media and had been in love with it, but seeing it in person it was even more stunning than any photo. The height of the room is amazing and the fact that it's a glass ceiling just makes it one of the most beautifully lit ceremony rooms I've ever stood in.
One of the best things about St Chad’s is its proximity to Durham Cathedral. It’s literally a stone’s throw away, which is a dream for photos! The cathedral and the surrounding historic streets provide so many opportunities for stunning wedding shots—it’s hard to go wrong with such a gorgeous backdrop.
The staff at St Chad’s were absolute stars—friendly, professional, and totally committed to making sure everything ran smoothly. Their attention to detail is top-notch, and they truly go above and beyond to meet your needs. I can't wait to be back and for now, here's some of my own photos I took that day and I'll post a new blog once the professional photos are ready. For this set up I provided my Everly Archway, Hannah Flower Wall, and my blossom chair sashes.
