The Quayside Exchange :-
The Quayside Exchange in Sunderland is the ideal venue for your wedding or celebration event; there isn't a venue in the region that can rival the grandeur of its facilities, it really is a unique setting.
The Grand Room with spectacular views over the riverside can host a wedding reception for around 200 guests; whilst the Alexandra Suite and the Wearmouth Suite are ideal for a more intimate celebration or as a reception area for pre-dinner drinks.

Wedding Trivia:
SOMETHING "OLD", "NEW", "BORROWED", AND "BLUE"
The tradition of carrying one or more items that are "old", "new", "borrowed" and "blue" also comes from English. There is an old English rhyme describing the practice which also mentions a sixpence in the brides shoe. Something old, signifying continuity, could be a piece of lace, jewelry, or a grandmother's handkerchief. Something new, signifying optimism in the future, could be an article of clothing or the wedding rings. Something borrowed, signifying future happiness, could be handkerchief from a happily married relative or friend. Something blue, signifying modesty, fidelity and love, comes from early Jewish history. In early Biblical times, blue not white symbolized purity. Both the bride and groom usually wore a band of blue material around the bottom of their wedding attire, hence the tradition of "something blue". Originally the sixpence was presented to the bride by her future husband as a token of his love. Today, very often, it is the bride's father who places a coin in the brides shoe prior to leaving home for the church.
