At The Grand Hotel, we believe every wedding should be as unique as the couple celebrating it. Our dedicated team works closely with you to craft a bespoke day that reflects your vision and style. Whether you dream of an intimate gathering or a 'grand' celebration, we offer a range of elegant indoor and outdoor spaces, from the stunning Compton Ballroom to the ornate Princes Suite. Tailor your day with personalised menus, enchanting décor, and special touched to make your wedding truly unforgettable.
Whether you are having your ceremony on our Princes Lawn with the backdrop of the White Palace, inside the ornate Princes Suite, or opting to have your service offsite, congratulations you're getting married! We are licensed across multiple spaces, indoors and out, giving you the freedom to choose the perfect spot to say 'I do'.
Celebrate your special day surrounded by friends and family enjoying drinks and nibbles as they toast your union. Whether you're planning a formal event or something more relaxed, we have a range of entertainment suggestions to perfectly match the atmosphere of your day. Our seafront location and period features inside provide breath-taking backdrops for your wedding photos, and plenty of hidden spots for the two of you to escape for a moment together.
Dine in style for your first meal as a married couple! We invite you to meet with our Executive Head Chef ahead of time, to taste and curate your perfect menu. Whether you opt for a sit-down meal, accompanied by speeches from loved ones, or cuisine that allows you more mingling time, charm your guests with a delightful dining experience.
Continue your celebrations into the evening where the drinks, dancing, and memory-making flow! The possibilities for your entertainment are endless with a range of live musicians, DJs, games, and more available through our Little Black Book of Suppliers. Additional guests can join for bigger parties, or for those going more informal, finish with a nightcap in the bar with your nearest and dearest.
Our stunning seafront location provides a promenade filled with breathtaking backdrops for your wedding photos, from golden sunsets over the ocean to the rolling hills of the South Downs. Inside, our historic venue radiates elegance, with intricate stained-glass windows, architecture, and intimate spaces that create a romantic and unforgettable setting for your special day.
Get ready for your wedding day in style. With luxurious suites, stunning views, and your wedding team on hand, enjoy a calm, magical morning preparing with your Wedding Party for your unforgettable moment.
Let the celebrations continue into the night, with a luxurious overnight stay and breakfast with your guests the next morning. With room types to suit everyone we ensure comfort for all on your Wedding night.
Allow more cherished moments with you loved ones, with extended celebrations. Host a 'night before get together', with a final toast before you say 'I do', or take breakfast in a private room, for the ultimate post-party debrief! With dining and activities suit all types of celebrations, ask our team for more inspiration!
We would be delighted to meet with, give you a tour of The Grand Hotel and talk through your vision.
