We understand this is a very exciting time for you and choosing the perfect venue is often the first step in creating your perfect day.   Here at The Morritt, we have a fantastic, dedicated team to assist with every aspect of your wedding.  Set in the beautiful Teesdale countryside, our Grade II listed country house hotel was the first venue in County Durham to be licensed for civil ceremonies.  With weddings and receptions available for 2 to 200 guests we would be delighted to talk to you about how we can create your perfect wedding day.

A link to our wedding brochure is attached for you and if you would like to book an appointment to have a look around the hotel please do not hesitate to contact us.
