Wedding Guest Guide

Attending a Wedding at The Grand Hotel? Here is everything you should know! 

Staying Overnight

Whether looking for a place to crash after a night of partying or wanting to make a longer stay of your visit to Eastbourne, our 152 bedrooms can accommodate you. We have 9 categories of bedrooms, with family rooms and bedrooms with twin beds available. You can compare our room types HERE.

Should your room not be ready prior to the start of the celebrations, you are welcome to leave your luggage with our Concierge Team and use our cloakrooms as a place to get ready. Our guaranteed check-in time is 3pm, and check-out is 11am the following morning.

Twelve months prior to their Wedding Day, the couple will receive a unique code, that you can use to save on your booking. If you have any questions about the best room for you, please contact our Reservations Team directly (01323 412345 or reservations@grandeastbourne.com).

There are plenty of local attractions to enjoy, while you're staying with us. Discover our top things to do HERE

Transport

If you are making your own way to the venue, we have limited car parking spaces available onsite. These are available on a first-come, first-serve basis, or can be reserved in advance for £25.00 per day. Alternative parking is available on the surrounding streets. For those arranging taxis, we recommend doing so in advance, as Eastbourne can be a busy location. If you would like assistance with this, our Concierge Team would be pleased to help. 

On The Day Timings

Your invitation will have the chosen timings of your host's day. 

If their ceremony is with us, we recommend arriving 30 minutes ahead of the start time. Please note that drinks cannot be taken into the service. Should you arrive late to the ceremony, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to enjoy the service, and may have to wait until the reception begins. 

If you are an evening guest, please note that the wedding party may still be enjoying their meal on your arrival. We have a lounge and bar available for your comfort until it is time to join the festivities. 

Other Information

Please ensure you let your hosts know of any dietary requirements in advance so that we can suitably cater for you on the day. 

Our venue is accessible with most function spaces on the ground floor. Should you require an accessible bedroom, please contact Reservations directly. 

We are a cashless hotel, please prepare for this when purchasing drinks at the bar.
