The Biscuit Factory Reviews
This supplier is set to only show testimonials. Their overall score of 4.9 is representative of all of their reviews.
The only real issue we had is that we didn't feel the day was particularly well organised, there was nowhere to put coats and presents before the ceremony and then we were unsure of where to go after the ceremony, once we had gotten into the biscuit room after the drinks reception everything was very smooth and the food service was all on time. But before this we were all a bit unsure what we should be doing. We had guests and our photographer asking us where to go, so it would have been helpful to have more direction in advance so we could have told our bridal party what to do.
One of the "extras" suggested with The Biscuit Factory was to contact the Tyne Bank Brewery about brewing our own beer for the day. As this couldn't happen due to covid, we selected to have bottles as wedding favours, which we were led to believe early on in the planning stages that this would be fine. It was only a few weeks before the wedding we found out we had to pay for corkage on this. Had we known this at the time, we might not have done this. It was still a great touch, but having that information up front would have been nice.
Overall it was a great day though and we'd recommend the biscuit factory
The venue itself is stunning and as soon as we viewed it, we knew it was the place for us. We had a short ceremony in the gorgeous gallery space upstairs with a drinks reception followed by food & dancing in Artisan. The food was outstanding & the level of service from the team was fantastic.
Everyone felt so relaxed, so well looked after and had a thoroughly wonderful time. We wouldn’t have changed a thing.
They arranged the space so well and somehow made 15 size wedding seem normal!
The prosecco and canape reception was lovely - everyone loved the canapes which were very delicious and was great to be able to look around the art too. They kept the atmosphere relaxed so it was easy to forget about covid etc.
The sit down meal in artisan downstairs was delicious and everyone loved the food - very high standard. We couldn't have entertainment due to the restrictions, so our family and friends (13 of them) shared little memories / read poems / said little speeches.
Faye was great leading up to the event even though we only met on zoom beforehand (because of restrictions). She was very helpful, accommodating and made the day run very smoothly. Would definitely recommend *****
We unfortunately fell into a strange time where we had to change our guest numbers multiple times with changing restrictions due to COVID.
Nonetheless, Faye and her colleagues were extremely helpful and understanding along the way.
The venue is extremely beautiful, in particular The Artisan Room. As soon as we viewed the venue, our minds were made up.
The day could not have ran any smoother. Our guests complimented the venue, food and overall atmosphere a countless number of times.
Would highly recommend the venue for any couple looking to get married in the near future. Faye, Tom and the rest of the staff are all extremely welcoming and accommodating.
We chose Artisan to hold our wedding breakfast and evening reception. This is a lovely space with the exposed brick work and wooden tables and velvet chairs. Again a perfect choice for something alternative.
Faye and her team were amazing. They helped when we had to move our original date due to the gallery being closed due to the lockdown.
Even though we still had restrictions in place on our new wedding date, Faye made sure we made the best of our day. Everyone commented on how lovely the day was and the food was a big hit!
Thank you for an amazing day!
We had to plan and amend our wedding plans due to the recent pandemic, and Faye and the Biscuit Factory couldn’t have been more supportive and accommodating, they were flexible and made sure we had everything we needed in place to go ahead. They supported our own touches and made the day feel really personal to us, completely understanding what we wanted.
The day itself ran perfectly thanks to their organisation, we had an amazing time, all our guests loved the venue and the food! Couldn’t have wished for a better place to get married.
They have thought of every detail that helped the day to flow. If you love food you won't be disappointed by the delicious food that they provide. I want more of the blondies! It is a stunning venue to get married in that is worth every penny.
Thank you for making our day special.
The venue looked beautiful on the day. Faye did an amazing job of setting up our flowers and table decorations, and the venue itself serves as an incredible setting and backdrop for photos.
The food, drink and service were impeccable throughout. All our guests commented on how lush the venue was - both visually and in terms of the service! I would 100% recommend The Biscuit Factory to anyone looking for a cool location for their upcoming wedding.
Can’t thank them enough!
