Amazing venue

The facilities and staff at Brandshatch Place are second to none. Every detail was planned in advance and all our wants and needs were met. The staff on the day were friendly, helpful and the day ran seamlessly. Nothing was too much trouble and the rooms and food was amazing. We wish we could do it all again!

Summer Wedding 2019

After being greeted so warmly by all the staff and suppliers at one of the wedding open days, and seeing all the hotel had to offer my daughter knew that Brandshatch Place Hotel was the right venue for their wedding.

Throughout the planning stage from meetings to menu and wine tastings and during the weekend of the wedding all the staff were so friendly and so helpful,

The day surpassed our expectations, nothing was too much trouble and everyone worked so hard to make it the most perfect day.

Perfect wedding day at Brandshatch Place Hotel & S

We had the most perfect wedding day at this fantastic venue. From the very start the staff bent over backwards to accommodate our requests. Nothing was too much trouble.

We were made to feel special and the wedding felt very personal. The attention to detail was impressive, even giving the bride slippers to wear during the meal so she could take off the heels!

We were so impressed with the staff at the hotel, who are all very polite, friendly and professional. It felt like our wedding really mattered to them despite the fact they hosts weddings most weekends.

The meal was beautiful and the service impeccable. It was great to be able to give our guests a choice of menu which a lot of other venues don't offer.

The function room looked absolutely stunning, the candelabras with lit candles being a lovely feature. Everything ran like clockwork, the staff made it feel very relaxed and effortless although they obviously worked extremely hard.

All our guest have been very complimentary about the wedding venue, so many have said it was the best wedding they have been to! For us it was simply perfect.

We could go on, every detail was thought of, indeed some we hadn't even thought of!

Thank you Brandshatch Place Hotel for the most special wedding, we could not have asked for more and have such happy memories of a wonderful day.

Jo & Jum's Perfect Wedding Day

Well what can I say.....
We both wanted a venue where all our friends & family could share our special day under one roof, with the choice of booking a room for themselves.
Brandshatch Place Hotel was the first venue i visited July '16 (actually the only one!!) because it felt perfect for me. Especially after speaking with Lizzie (wedding coordinator) i was then making enquires what dates available for 2017! Then 17th Feb '17 was free, so i was more than happy as its our 3rd anniversary together....it also meant just over 6 months to organise!!!!
I can honestly say from the start Lizzie was always on hand for me by phone/email.
I stayed overnight before with my mum/bridesmaids for my big day which was the perfect chilled out evening. After breakfast it all began....
We had a sneak preview of Lisa's work (Flowers&Sparkle) which was amazing.
Then it was time to get ready.....anything we wanted the staff were there on hand to assist us. Barry (Toastmaster) together with the Function manager insured smooth running from start to finish.
Everyone kept saying how calm i was. I honestly feel knowing you have everything in place and a team around you like i had at Brandshatch there isnt anything to be nervous about. 100% job well done to one & all
Jum & I cant thank you enough and we know where we are spending our 1st Anniversary!!!

First class service in an intimate location

Had our ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening celebration at the Brandshatch Place Hotel & Spa on Friday 3rd February 2017. Was a fantastic day and all our guests commented on the professionalism of service along with how good quality the food was. Lizzie from the hotel who worked with us over the year to plan the wedding was equally fantastic. Great location for smaller (50-100 guests) wedding celebrations. The package we chose was excellent value.

Hi Catherine,

I just wanted to email to thank you for all your help in making our wedding last Saturday into such a wonderful day. Everyone had said what a wonderful day they'd had and I've really got to thank you for this - nothing has ever been too much trouble, any requests I've made have always been looked into and dealt with and everything ran to clockwork. It was so reassuring to know that you were there on the day and available if need be.

The staff did a truly amazing job - they were courteous, very hardworking and nothing was too much trouble which we very much appreciated. We had so many comments on the venue which was reassuring because those were exactly the reasons why we chose it in the first place. I hope your company is aware how good you all are!

Thanks once again for making our day so very special.

A HUGE thanks for organising our wedding! It was without doubt the best day of our lives and everything ran as smoothly as it could have done. We were over-running by about 1 hour but the staff were lovely and didn’t make me worry or anything.



Please could you pass on our thanks to Tim Gehrke – he was superb. He was great fun and very professional at the same time and kept my mother-in-law in check all day long he’ll understand!.



Richard our DJ was brilliant and Elvis went down a storm. Even John Yarrow, our toastmaster asked if he could stay on for the buffet because he was enjoying himself so much??!!



A lot of guests commented on how lovely the venue was and the room looked spectacular. So, many thanks for your efforts.


Many thanks again for the greatest day ever.
