Discovery Museum was featured on BBC's Don't Tell the Bride on Tuesday 15 November 2011. On the programme, the groom has just three weeks to organise his wedding without any help or input from his fiancée. Bride Lauren (above) said: “As soon as I realised we were at Discovery Museum I didn’t feel at all nervous because I had seen the Great Hall before and I knew how beautiful it was.”

Client testimonials
"Thank you to you, Sophie and all of your team for your extra ordinary efforts in hosting The Glitz and Glam Grand Ball on 14th October 2011. From start to finish your team have been excellent and the service and attention to detail you provide is second to none. I have nothing to complain about and everything to praise you on! I have had some excellent feedback on the event from those that attended, not only about the venue itself, but also praise on the quality of service, food and wine.
Please pass on my thanks to Laura and Brad both of whom went to every effort to make the night run smoothly. I have never attended an event where I have seen such excellent service as that on Friday night.
Without a doubt we will be coming back to you next year to see if you can help us. Again thank you for helping me and the Teenage Cancer Trust."
Jonathan Wallis, c/o North East Pan Professionals
"I just wanted to pass on our huge thanks to everyone at Sodexo and the Discovery Museum who helped make our ncl+ awards last night so successful. Our whole team have expressed how helpful everyone involved was from catering to technical support to cleaners- no one could have helped more/been more friendly."
Newcastle University Careers Service and the Union Society
