Why marry at The Lakeside?

A wedding venue with a view, and a team who care.

Set in beautiful surroundings, The Lakeside brings together exceptional food, stunning event spaces, beautiful Victorian style cast iron stove fires and golden hour light to make one of South Tyneside’s most romantic settings for your wedding day.

From an intimate ceremony in the Blossom Room to a grand reception under canvas in the marquee, every wedding is shaped around you. Our dedicated team looks after the detail so you can enjoy every moment.

Wedding dates are in high demand throughout the year, with many booked months in advance. We always recommend arranging a viewing as early as possible to secure your preferred date.
