Rebecca & Dan’s Rain-Soaked, Love-Soaked Celebration at Bowburn Hall
Welcome to Bowburn Hall: Where Rain Meets Romance
First, a little about the venue. ‘Bowburn Hall’, located just a few miles from Durham city centre, is a charming country house hotel that’s become a firm favourite for North East weddings — and for good reason. Built in the early 20th century and originally a private house, it now boasts:
* 20 stylish bedrooms
* Stunning landscaped gardens (yes, they’re even gorgeous in the rain!)
* A dedicated Garden Room for ceremonies and receptions
* A fab bar with comfy seating (which came in handy for our group shots!)
It’s a hidden gem for couples looking for something elegant yet relaxed — and it was the perfect setting for Rebecca and Dan’s big day, even if the weather wasn’t playing nice.
