Exceeded expectations, highly recommended

We had a fantastic afternoon in the Marine Room celebrating our wedding (ceremony was elsewhere) with 40 guests.

Planning and prep was positive. Our options were clear and there was a small bit of flexibility on price. There was a bit of confusion with details on the contract being slightly different to what we discussed but this was quickly sorted. There were also a few decorations options available to us that we found out by accident (the floral wall panels). Rosie was incredibly helpful with the planning and quick to respond to our many queries!

Handover was slightly worrying as we had to leave our decorations and flowers in a hallway as their storage room was full of suitcases. No damage done though. Jamie and team did a fantastic job decorating the room exactly as per our detailed instructions.

The service on the day was great. Professional and ensured our guests were well fed and watered.

I generally find hotel food a bit hit and miss but this was a definite hit. The portions well exceeded my expectations and was of a high standard. Lots of positive comments from guests on this.

We initially planned to finish at 7pm and I half expected to be kicked out then. However Jamie and team were happy for us to stay longer in one part of the room while they packed away the other. They also set up an area of the bar for our exclusive use and even repurposed our decorations which was a really nice touch. We ended up staying at the bar much longer.

To summarise, we had a fantastic day and the venue and staff were a big reason for this. Good value for money. Our guests seemed to really enjoy themselves which we're delighted with. Big thank you to Rosie, Jamie, Billy and the rest of the team.

Perfect for a small wedding

We chose the Dream Day package - which is perfect for those who want a boutique seaside wedding without a huge budget. The staff are lovely, room is so pretty and the food was great. It was easy having all the family stay in the hotel too. We wouldn’t change anything (but make sure you order the nice chairs!)

Perfect venue for a small wedding

We had the amazing Rosie and her team taking care of us at Harbour. And we were over the moon with their professionalism and attention to detail. All the guests also loved the venue and event.

Hidden gem for a Brighton wedding

We looked at quite a few venues before visiting Harbour Hotel during their wedding fair. We were blown away by how lovely it looked, the value for money, and how attentive Rosie was.

Throughout the planning, Rosie was very flexible which meant we could really personalise our wedding and have it exactly as we wanted.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to anyone else getting married. Absolutely brilliant!

Wedding of Mark and Verne

Thank you for the best day of our lives. Rosie and the team were attentive from the start. I stayed in the corner suit the night before, enjoyed the spa and restaurant with my daughter. The ceremony, breakfast dinner and entertainment all went smoothly. The food was excellent and the hall was just the right size. I would highly recommend this venue for a wedding.
Thank you

The Perfect Wedding, Made Effortless

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding day at Harbour Hotel. From our wedding ceremony through to the wedding breakfast and evening reception, everything was absolutely flawless and ran like clockwork.
The whole day was truly beautiful, and Harbour Hotel played such a huge part in making it so special. The décor was stunning, the food was absolutely delicious, and the outstanding level of service from start to finish was exceptional.
The whole day was completely stress-free. We were able to relax, enjoy every moment and celebrate with our family and friends, knowing that everything was being taken care of perfectly behind the scenes.
Every single member of staff was amazing, friendly, attentive, professional and genuinely lovely. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and their care and attention to detail really made a difference to our day.
We will always look back on our wedding at Harbour Hotel with the happiest of memories. It was everything we dreamed of and more, and we are so grateful to Rosie and the entire team for helping make our wedding day absolutely perfect.
Thank you, Harbour Hotel, for giving us the most wonderful, unforgettable day. We couldn’t recommend you highly enough!

We absolutely loved having our wedding here!

We absolutely loved having our wedding reception at Harbour Hotel Brighton. It was genuinely unforgettable from start to finish.

The Marnie Room was perfect for our small wedding reception, and having all three rooms as part of the space made such a difference. We have an 11-month-old baby, and some of our friends had babies with them too, so it was amazing to have enough room for feeding, rocking them, and letting everyone feel comfortable while still being part of the celebration.

There was plenty of space for us to do speeches, run a quiz, cut the cake, have our first dance and enjoy the evening without anything feeling rushed or cramped.

The buffet was lovely and went down really well with our guests. The staff were warm, helpful and professional throughout, and they were fantastic in helping organise everything and making sure the day ran smoothly.

Even though the weather was awful — typical Brighton! — it didn’t spoil the day at all. The whole reception still felt relaxed, special and full of joy. So many of our friends said it was the best wedding they had ever been to, which says everything.

Thank you to Rosie and the whole team for helping make our wedding reception such a success. We’ll always remember it.

Big thanks to Rosie & the team for our reception

We wanted a simple, personal reception for our immediately family after our wedding ceremony in Brighton. Rosie was really helpful in talking us through our options and helping create the event we wanted. Lovely private room with delicious food and great service from the staff on the day. Thank you to all the team.

Couldn’t have wished for more

We got married on New Year’s Eve and truly had the most amazing day and night. The staff were incredible, I didn’t have to lift a finger on the day. I gave them the decor we had and trusted them to use their expertise to pull it all together and they delivered! Lili was in charge on the day and was amazing, lots of guests commented on how brilliant all the wait and bar staff were. Rosie was so helpful through the whole planning process and would reply to any email I sent quickly and thoroughly. Value for money wise, I think we got an amazing deal especially considering it was New Year’s Eve! The food was amazing for both the adults and the kids! Some of the adults even polished off the kids meals as they were that good!

Lovely venue and fabulous staff

We dealt with Rosie ( wedding planner ) over 10 weeks to plan a package based wedding for 80 guests. Rosie was great- a fantastic communicator and sign posted us to DJs ( we used Paul at Party People who was amazing) florists ( we used Gunns - gorgeous flowers) etc -

We had a food and wine tasting day and the menu was tweaked to suit our guests! Food was incredible on the day as was the service.

The turnarounds inbetween the wedding meal and the evening dancing were quick and easy!

The venue is great for a wedding - the venue room is just perfect, pretty with its own little bar couches in the bar and break out rooma and ideal room furniture a disco! It is in a brilliant location right beside the beach .

Most of our guests stayed at the hotel and we were given a complimentary suite - the rooms are beautiful

The stand out at this venue is the staff who love what they do and really take care of you

Great wedding team and venue!

We had a great wedding at the Harbour Hotel! It was easy to communicate with Rosie, and we had a great offer from them which made it affordable for us. There were maybe a few misunderstandings along the way, and we kept changing our minds, but it was all sorted out very professionally. Natasha was also brilliant at organising the day, and understood exactly what we wanted, and also came up with ideas I would not have thought myself. The service was top-notch! The only thing was that the food was slightly different from the tasting we had, and we weren't expecting that. A different chef that day perhaps. Otherwise everything ran smoothly, and our signature cocktails were delicious! The space itself was perfect for us, with the wooden floor big enough for proper dancing, unlike most other venues which had carpeted floors and no proper dance floor.

Amazing from start to finish!

Right from the start when we viewed the venue, we thought it was perfect for our evening wedding reception. The room is so well laid out, and the flexibility to make it our own was amazing. Rosie was incredible throughout - she was so efficient at getting back to us on our questions, nothing was ever too much! The team on the day were fab as well, they were always on hand whilst setting up and the service through the night was amazing. Would 100% recommend!!

Magical wedding experience at the Brighton Harbour hotel

We recently held our wedding reception at the HH Brighton, I can not praise Rosie and her team more. The staff were extremely professional and supportive throughout. Natasha and Lilly were excellent setting up the main dining room and the service through the day was fantastic. The canapés and hot buffet was amazing and all our guests enjoyed the food. We could highly recommend choosing the Harbour Hotel for an amazing wedding experience.
