Polhawn Fort is quite simply the most fantastic place. It holds a very special place in our hearts, having been where we were married back in 1995, and returning 30 years later to celebrate our anniversary there was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, the staff were absolutely brilliant — always on hand, offering instant attention and support, and making everything feel effortless. Their warmth, professionalism and genuine care made the whole celebration run seamlessly and allowed us to truly relax and enjoy every moment with our family and friends. Polhawn Fort is more than just a venue; it’s a place filled with meaning, history and love, and that feeling was just as powerful 30 years on. To be able to return and celebrate such a milestone anniversary, surrounded by loved ones and so many memories, was a privilege we’ll always treasure. Polhawn Fort continues to be a living part of our story, and we cannot recommend it highly enough to anyone looking for a truly unforgettable place to celebrate love.

We don't have the words to describe just how perfect our day was. It was everything we had dreamed of and so much more. Claire and the team were incredible from start to finish. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they consistently went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The food deserves a special mention because it was honestly incredible. Our guests are still talking about it and many have said it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. The brisket and salt-baked fish were particular highlights and an enormous hit with everyone. Surfside is such a magical venue. While we were lucky enough to have beautiful weather and a stunning sunset, the venue is just as special indoors, with so much character and uniqueness. It has always been one of our favourite places, but it now holds an even more special place in our hearts. Thank you, Claire and the entire team, for giving us the most unforgettable day.

We cannot put into words how in awe of everything we were on our wedding day. The wedding we had been planning for two years came to life and thanks to the lovely staff, we couldn’t fault a thing. Tunnels beaches was the first and only venue we viewed, we knew straight away it was for us. Our wedding day was the first time seeing the renovation and my goodness, we were blown away. Everyone who was lucky enough to stay at the on site accommodation couldn’t believe how stunning it was, the pizzas the night before were delicious! Safe to say we will be talking about Tunnels Beaches and all the incredible staff for years to come.

Exceptional wedding venue! Everything was absolutely perfect & the service provided second to none. This was the BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES! Food was incredible & the whole experience staying at Sandy Cove for two nights amazing...we had a refreshing sea swim the from the beach the day before & then used the spa & swimming pool...this all added to the most wonderful Wedding. Thank you so much to the entire team!

We had our wedding ceremony at Lusty Glaze and it was absolutely perfect! The team worked so hard before the wedding as well as on the day itself. We had lots of questions, and the team were always so helpful and reassuring. On the day everything ran so smoothly, and we honestly didn’t have to worry about a thing. It meant we could just enjoy the day with our family and friends, which is exactly what we wanted. We also enjoyed time on the beach on the days before and after our wedding which was also fantastic with great food and drink and such friendly staff.

Incredible venue in the gardens. A very much do it yourself venue but no limit to suppliers you can use and no corkage! Only small criticism would be I think they need to replace the floors as they have large scratches which makes it look a bit more budget.

I have had so many message saying how amazing my wedding was. The decorations, the staff every single moment of the day was beautiful. The way it was decorated and the DJ was brilliant and it fit nicely into our budget. 1000% worth every penny. I had constant up dates from all the staff which made me so at ease approaching the day. Making sure I had and they had everything ready and set to go. Made sure I didn’t forget anything. I would recommend anyone that has a smaller budget for a wedding to get in touch. Tracy from the perfect package did a fabulous job of decorating it look like a completely different venue. The dj listen to every request that was made. And most of the guest and me were on the dance floor all night. Thank you for being so amazing.

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

Absolutely stunning venue and people are still raving about it now but not only that, the whole thing was just incredible. Zoe, Georgia, Sam, Helen, everyone at watermouth cove...absolute babes. 10/10 legends from start to finish. We were never the kind to have a formal, serious wedding and they made it so easy...everyone who was there told us it was the best time they'd had and for us....wow... I don't think we will never top it! We will forever be jealous of anyone who gets the pleasure of being married there and will be following watermouth cove with so much love. Thank you all so much for the best time of our lives
