Let's Talk Love
Houseys are where it's at.
A wedding at Harbour House doesn’t feel like a hire-out venue or a package. It feels like your world, your music, your people, your atmosphere, held inside a building with genuine character and soul.
We’ve spent years shaping Harbour House to feel lived-in, warm and considered. The Dock offers views of the tyne, space for ceremonies and long-table dining. The Uncommon brings the cocktails, the energy and the late-night mood. Everything takes place under one roof, flowing naturally from one moment to the next, from the vows through to the last drink of the night.
No chair covers. No forced traditions. Just a beautiful, design-led space and a team that cares about the details and takes the time to understand what matters to you.

The space
+ The Dock
Perched on the top floor of Harbour House, The Dock is a bright, inviting space with character and atmosphere. High ceilings, beautiful natural light and views across the Tyne create a setting that feels both uplifting and intimate — the kind of room where moments linger and conversations flow.
The space has been thoughtfully designed to feel warm, considered and versatile. It works just as naturally for a quiet, heartfelt ceremony as it does for long-table dining surrounded by your favourite people. As the day moves into evening, the soft lighting and open layout allow the celebration to shift effortlessly into a party, without ever losing the sense of closeness and connection.
The Dock isn’t a blank box. It has soul. It’s a space that elevates whatever you bring to it — your style, your music, your energy. Whether you’re imagining something stripped back and elegant or full of personality and movement, The Dock gives you the canvas and atmosphere for it to unfold beautifully.
The space
+ The Uncommon
The Uncommon Restaurant at Harbour House is a dining experience like no other, with an elevated menu, seasonal produce and the coolest atmosphere. Be immersed in The Uncommon for your welcome drinks on your special day, or pre-wedding gatherings, as we can curate ‘the last supper’, perfect for the night before your wedding, for all your travelling guests, and to ignite the celebrations. Everything is thoughtfully considered, from space to a seasonal menu crafted with artistry and care. What sets The Uncommon apart is its bespoke approach to dining, allowing couples to curate their own menu for a truly personal touch. Whether you envision a refined multi-course feast or a relaxed sharing-style banquet, the team works closely with you to craft a menu that reflects your tastes and love story, making every bite as memorable as the day itself.
It’s not just about the day itself — it’s how it feels from beginning to end.
From the first walk-through to the final song of the night, we guide you in a way that feels supportive, never restrictive.
We help you shape the rhythm of the day so everything flows naturally — the ceremony, the drinks, the dining, the party, all under one roof, without guests being moved around, waiting in corridors or being “managed.”
There’s space for quiet moments and big moments.
Long tables where conversations breathe.
Lighting that softens as the night deepens.
Music that moves with the energy in the room
.
The result is a celebration that feels seamless, effortless and full of meaning.
The Experience
Food & Drink
Food and drink are at the heart of a Harbour House wedding.
We don’t believe in a one-menu-fits-all approach. Instead, we work with a selection of talented, independent chefs and caterers who bring their own style, creativity and flavour to the day. This means your wedding can feel as refined, relaxed, bold or playful as you want it to be.
At The Uncommon, the bar brings the energy.
Cocktails are crafted with care, the wine list is thoughtful, and service is warm and intuitive. Nothing is too formal or fussy. Just the good stuff, served well.
The result is food and drink that feel generous, personal and memorable.
The kind of experience your guests will still be talking about long after the day is over.
Every wedding at Harbour House begins with a conversation.
No pressure. No hard sell. Just a walk through the spaces, a chance to get a feel for the atmosphere and a chat about what you imagine for your day.
We want to understand the energy of your relationship, the people who matter most to you, the music you love, the way you host and the atmosphere you imagine when you close your eyes and picture your wedding. From there, we help shape the celebration in a way that feels natural, thoughtful and uniquely yours.
Tell us what matters to you.
Tell us the feeling you want to create.
We will guide, shape and support the rest.
