Our Perfect Day

Our wedding at the Carlton Hotel, Bournemouth was without a doubt the best day of our lives. It was absolutely perfect and run smoothly. We had absolutely no hiccups, no near misses and no regrets for booking the Carlton Hotel as our wedding venue. It was organised but nothing was planned as such so we just watched as the day unravelled. It was beyond our expectations with amazingly friendly and helpful staff all around. Thanks to Mark for stepping in and taking over half way through the planning as the unfortunate event of our coordinator leaving left us a little stressed, however, Mark found his feet and rose to the occasion! Amazing communication and professionalism throughout. Joey and Balaram were absolute superstars the night before the wedding and helped sort out us out too. Along with Mark, again, ensuring that everything was in order with the wedding and our guests and discussing events of the day with us and our celebrant. Mark, still to this day, 2 weeks after the wedding is still keeping communication open and settling the last bits and bobs that have cropped up. Thank you for our perfect wedding day!! Mr & Mrs Robinson Xx

Sensationally memorable!!!!

We had our wedding weekend at the beautiful carlton hotel on the 27th April 2024.
All the hotel staff went above and beyond our expectations and our special day was flawess.
All our guest comments on how, friendly, attentive and amazing hardworking every staff member was over the entire weekend.
I would highly recommend having your wedding here the ceremony room is absolutely beautiful with sea views even if the weather isn't great the room is still big and bright.
The food was excellent throughout the weekend and all guest had positive feedback.
I would like ro make a special mention to Mark(special events manager) who organised our wedding from start to finish and how passionate he was ensuring our wedding went perfectly.
He is a credit to the hotel.
