Description

Here’s a few reasons why Life is sweet!

We’re located in the heart of Newcastle upon Tyne, a few minutes’ walk from Central Station (rail) and public transport links.

Our team – professional, versatile, friendly and dedicated to making your day perfect.

We host ONE wedding per day – so you can be sure that your big day will be our top priority.

We’re happy to host evening receptions only, so if you’re getting married somewhere else and just want an evening celebration - no problem.

Whatever your budget, there’s no compromise on quality.

For your ceremony, we have a variety of rooms from traditional suites which can accommodate up to 160 guests, to our stunning planetarium which provides an out-of-this-world experience.

Life is home to an award-winning Science Centre so we can supply lots of quirky extras to make the day distinctive, from unique photo opportunities in among the exhibitions to high-octane fun for your guests on the 4D Motion Ride.

Our food is fabulous! We offer imaginative menus to suit all tastes and budgets and our talented chef is happy to create themed menus or your favourite meal.

What people are saying!

Average Rating: 5 out of 5 - based on 4 reviews

Just want to say thanks for all your help in organising everything, it went so smoothly and we can’t thank you enough. We had a superb day, all our guests were full of praise for the venue and the staff and all really enjoyed themselves.

We can't begin to thank you and your colleagues enough for helping to make our daughter Jenny's wedding such a huge success on Saturday. From guiding and supporting Jenny throughout the day to fishing out a friend's pearl earing from the U-bend in a sink in the ladies toilet - nothing was too much …

trouble!

Everything ran seamlessly and I know, having arranged quite a number of events myself, that this does not happen without considerable planning, expertise and thoughtfulness. I cannot express how grateful we are to you and your colleagues for their professionalism, friendliness and kindness.

Everybody who attended, both during the day and the evening had a wonderful and indeed joyful day, we have had so many wonderful comments and precious memories. The moment we arrived you were there to greet and reassure us and your colleagues facilitated every step of the way. The food was absolutely superb so another huge thanks to the catering team and the staff who waited on - we hardly noticed they were there - they did their job so efficiently.

I cannot recommend The Life Centre banqueting and conference facilities enough for this kind of event. The planetarium provided such a special and serene setting for the ceremony. We were able to make it our own, very precious and personalised event, and was a day that all those who attended will never forget.

“Thank you very much, the day was amazing, we really appreciate all you have done. Paul was brilliant.”

“We would both like to say a huge thank you to yourself and team for meeting our every need in every way possible, everything went absolutely perfectly. Everyone commented on how nice everything was done and how beautiful the rooms were. They were all pleasantly surprised at what Centre for Life …

had to offer. One thing everyone was amazed at was the food! It was absolutely fantastic as far as buffets go, the little cottage pies were the star of the show!”
