AUCTION & VENUE FAQS
Everything You Need to Know Before Placing a Bid
Pick a venue, pick one of its six auction dates, then tell us the most you would pay for that package. Your figure stays between you and our team. Nobody else sees it, and there is no bidding war to get dragged into.
No. Placing a bid costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Money only changes hands if you win the date and choose to go ahead.
Every auction carries its own floor, shown on the card, so the package still covers its costs. They run from £1,000 on the winter midweek date up to £5,000 on the summer weekend date. Bid below the floor and we cannot consider it.
Yes. Plenty of couples put in a figure for two or three options. Submit the form once per date you want.
One of our wedding coordinators calls you within seven days of the auction closing. They will walk you through the package, answer anything outstanding, and hold the date while you decide. Nothing is binding until you have signed and paid a deposit.
We will still have dates across all 8 venues, and savings of up to 75% run all year on selected dates. Ring the team on 0191 933 7409 and they will find you something.
Yes, and we would rather you did. Book a tour and walk the place before you put a figure in. Call 0191 933 7409 or ask for a tour in the form.
Yes. Each auction covers the guest count shown on its card, from 30 on the winter midweek date up to 80 on the summer weekend date. Extra guests, extra nights and upgrades are all priced separately once you win, and your coordinator will quote them for you.
