Weddings at Baltic:

Host your special day in an internationally renowned gallery, surrounded by art, amazing architecture, and everyone you love the most. Baltic is housed in a former flour mill on the historic banks of the River Tyne in Gateshead. A dramatic landmark building, we host an ever-changing calendar of exhibitions and events - a stylish and unique location for civil ceremonies, wedding breakfast, and receptions. Home to several dramatic spaces for your big day, our gallery is fully licensed to host ceremonies in any of its spectacular spaces and our dedicated Wedding Planners are on hand to help you to plan your day from start to finish.

Gallery Wedding:
Our gallery space on Level 1 is fit for the grandeur of a large-scale exhibition. We'll help you curate the space to suit you. Featuring white walls and pinewood floors, you have the freedom to decorate this space as you wish. The floor includes a reception space outside the main scenic lifts, and a large auditorium for your service and reception. This space is perfect for ceremonies for 180 guests. Level 1 also boasts its own 54 seat cinema where your guests can watch show reels or photos of your time together, as well as a dressing room with light mirrors which can be used as a powder room and a relaxing space where you can take a few minutes before re-joining the celebration.

Balcony Wedding:
Our Level 5 balcony space is a smaller room that showcases jaw-dropping panoramic views of the Newcastle and Gateshead Quaysides. This space can accommodate up to 39 daytime guests and 250 evening guests, perfect for a more intimate ceremony.

The striking River Terrace is located on the ground mezzanine of Baltic. Featuring full length picture windows, this room is flooded by natural light and boasts incredible views of the River Tyne and Newcastle quayside.

    I really enjoy visiting the Baltic and find the staff, cafe and atmosphere very welcoming. Some of the art has been there a long time and I do feel it needs a few more fresh artists in the space but the art that is there is chosen well and reflects the artists well. I recently purchased some prints and they were reasonably priced considering how much the original artwork was.

    Very nice. Kids area was quite good and interactive. The view from the top was beautiful. Excellent for a fun family day.

    Called in late afternoon- it’s open till 6pm and is free. Wasn’t thrilled by the current exhibitions and only 2 floors were open. The Parasite exhibit didn’t explain enough for me to get what it was about. Good view of the river and city from 5th floor. Restaurant looked pricey but pleasant. Staffed by helpful people. We took the 54 bus back into Newcastle centre which was convenient.
