Wedding Venues in Bournemouth

Our wedding day was absolutely phenomenal—everything went perfectly from start to finish! It truly was the best day of our lives. Tracey, the duty managers, and the entire team went above and beyond to take care of us, ensuring every detail was flawless. From the moment we booked five months before the wedding to the very last moment of our special day, their support was unwavering. We honestly cannot fault them in any way; everything ran seamlessly. We are beyond grateful for their incredible service, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about how wonderfully they were looked after too. We cannot recommend them highly enough—thank you, Royal Bath, from the bottom of our hearts, for making our wedding so magical and unforgettable!

The day was fabulous and all staff where very communitive. Very well presented, tidy & clean. Great relaxed environment and made us feel at ease. All guests that attended our wedding stayed the night at the hotel and where very pleased with the accommodation.

We really want to say thank you to you and your team for helping to make our wedding day the best day of our lives. All your staff were very attentive and caring for us and our guests. We are both extremely to be able to tell people that WE got married at the Nici. You have personally been absolutely phenomenal and made us feel incredibly at ease the whole time. You did make a comment on the day and said that we were so relaxed and chilled out, which we were.. but that was due to how well you organised it all for us. We also want to say a particular thanks to the Banquet manager, he was brilliant.

We couldn’t be happier with our choice of venue! We chose the Green House Hotel specifically for its intimate size and fantastic reputation for food, and it did not disappoint. The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful and has such character that it was easy to decorate minimally while still looking lovely. ​We were so pleased and grateful for how smoothly the entire day went. The hotel staff were incredibly helpful throughout, and we truly couldn’t fault a single thing! ​ ​A huge thank you to Courtney for all her support during the planning process. Her organising in the lead-up to the big day was amazing and kept us feeling at ease. While Courtney couldn’t be there on the day itself, Lottie stepped up and was an absolute trooper! She kept everything running perfectly and made sure we didn’t have to worry about a thing. ​ ​The catering was a real highlight. The food all day was fantastic, and we’ve had so many compliments from our guests. While we were a bit too busy to catch the canapés ourselves, we’ve been reliably informed by everyone else that they were delicious! ​We would highly recommend the Green House Hotel to anyone looking for a stress-free, beautiful, and intimate wedding day.

From the moment we arrived, we knew our wedding day at The Queens Hotel & Spa was going to be something truly special. The ceremony was perfect and beautifully romantic, setting such a lovely tone for the day before the celebrations really kicked off. As the evening arrived, the atmosphere transformed into the most incredible party. The dance floor was full all night and we genuinely danced the night away with our friends and family. The venue was ideal for both the romantic daytime moments and the unforgettable evening celebration. The team ensured everything ran seamlessly, allowing us to relax and enjoy every second. Our guests had an amazing time and are still talking about what a fantastic day and night it was. If you want a wedding that combines romance with an unforgettable party, this is the place to choose!

We recently had our wedding at this breathtaking venue, and it truly exceeded every expectation. We had our ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening reception in the same room but each room change was outstanding. The room looked stunningly different for each section with attention paid to all details discussed. The food was absolutely amazing—beautifully presented, full of flavour, and thoroughly enjoyed by all our guests. Every dish was a hit, and the service throughout the day was nothing short of fantastic. The staff were attentive, warm, and made everyone feel so well looked after. But the real star of the day was our wedding coordinator, Edward. From our very first meeting, Edward listened carefully to every detail we discussed and made sure each one was brought to life. His calm, composed presence was a huge comfort throughout the planning process and especially on the big day. He was incredibly organised, thoughtful, and ensured everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Thanks to Edward, we were able to relax and truly enjoy every moment knowing everything was in expert hands. We can’t thank him enough for helping make our wedding day so perfect. If you’re considering this venue—do it! And if you have Edward coordinating your day, you’re in for something truly special.

We had our wedding ceremony and evening function at the Ocean Beach Hotel. If we could give more than 5 stars we would. Every member of staff was professional, helpful, friendly, courteous and polite. The Chef and his team work so hard behind the scenes. The food was exceptional as was the presentation. Our Wedding Events Co-ordinator was very responsive to emails and was fantastic on the day. The Manager and his team couldn't do enough for you. We cannot praise the staff more highly for all they did to make our day memorable. They are all a credit to this lovely hotel.

We booked the Collingwood for our wedding on the 2nd January this year after struggling with communication at another venue. From the first contact Marcin and his team were nothing less than fantastic. In the lead up to the wedding he was happy to ease any concerns and answer any questions that we had. We spent the whole wedding weekend at the hotel with friends and family and the whole entirety of our stay all of the staff were attentive, thoughtful and responsive. The rooms were perfect for us and our groomsman and bridal party to get ready in, with plenty of space for us all. Our 9 young grandchildren were treated with patience and understanding which made things even more special for us. As the venue had been decorated for the festive gala and looked so beautiful Marcin and the team kindly agreed to leave all the decorations in place for us throughout our stay which made our wedding reception look so magical. Every single guest has had nothing but positive feedback, they have even asked if we can have a 1 year anniversary party at the hotel so that we can all return and spend another perfect weekend at the hotel. The food was served beautifully and tasted amazing and our glasses throughout the wedding breakfast were constantly kept full. A special thank you must go to the barman who was kept very busy by our guests and always had a huge smile on his face, he also always managed to produce chocolate whenever our grandchildren were in the room which they were very happy about. A huge thank you to Marcin and his team, I could not imagine having such an amazing experience anywhere else.

We had our wedding at the Carlton Hotel Bournemouth in January 2026, where we chose the Grand Wedding Package. It was, without a doubt, the best day of our lives. Everything was absolutely perfect and ran so smoothly. We had no hiccups, no near misses, and absolutely no regrets about choosing the Carlton Hotel as our wedding venue. The day was beautifully organised, and we were able to relax and enjoy every moment as it unfolded—it truly exceeded all our expectations. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout. A special mention goes to Kelly, the hotel event coordinator, who supported us through the entire planning and preparation process. Her communication and professionalism were outstanding, and she clearly cares deeply about making each wedding perfect. Kelly and Nikki (the manager on the day) were absolute superstars—ensuring everything ran seamlessly, looking after us and our guests, and coordinating closely with our celebrant. We would highly recommend this venue. The ceremony room is absolutely beautiful, with stunning sea views, the space is still bright, spacious, and welcoming. All the hotel staff went above and beyond our expectations, and our special day was flawless. Our guests commented all weekend on how friendly, attentive, and hardworking every staff member was. The food was excellent throughout, with consistently positive feedback from everyone. Thank you for giving us our perfect wedding day! Mr & Mr Watts xx

We have just had the most magical wedding at The Suncliff - what a gorgeous hotel! They have been amazing at coordinating our wedding and helping us with planning and organizing every step of the way. The package includes the 3-course meal, drinks reception and drinks during meal, ceremony room hire, disco, buffet, and a complimentary night stay in their amazing sea view suite, plus more! All the staff are friendly and attentive in helping to make the day flow smoothly and we couldn't be more impressed. All our family and friends adored the hotel, the rooms, the facilities, and the area - they were super impressed. Would hugely recommend The Suncliff Hotel if you're looking for a hotel wedding near the beach or in Dorset - it is perfect in every way.
