An Exquisite Wedding Reception, Thank You!

We had our wedding reception at the Dome, Brighton Hotel Du Vin in November 2025, and it was absolutely exquisite. Laura, Katie and the whole events team were exceptional and made the whole day spectacular for us.

The evening before the wedding I dropped off all of the event decorations and the following morning, when I dropped off the cake, the room was dressed perfectly, just as I envisioned!

Our wedding breakfast was exquisite. The food was absolutely delicious, so many of our guests have said it was the best wedding food they have had. The service was impeccably timed too, the course service was beautifully choreographed. The team really know what they are doing when it comes to food service.

We had the Beachy Head room for the duration, which was very luxurious and comfortable. I had my hair and makeup done in the room prior to the photos and ceremony with my daughter, which made the day really relaxed and chilled.

The seaside location was just perfect for the photographs we wanted. We were lucky and had a bright & sunny day, but had we needed a Plan B, the hotel would have been ideal too.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone at Hotel Du Vin who had a hand in making the day so fabulous. We really appreciate it and would highly recommend the hotel to anyone considering a central Brighton Wedding.

Winter wedding reception

We stayed at the Hotel du Vin Brighton for 2 nights, the night before and the night of our Brighton Town Hall wedding. The hotel was an excellent location for the ceremony and the rooms were beautiful and very comfortable for getting ready in. Our suite had lots of space for our hair and make up team. Our daughter was 8 months old at the time and the hotel accommodated her extremely well. The travel cot they provided was excellent quality and the nappy bin and changing mat were really helpful too. We had a meal with family after the ceremony in one of their private dining rooms and this was lovely. Our waiter was very attentive and helpful. Dewi the events manager helped us to create a menu we were happy with, as none of the set menus available at the time were entirely to our taste. Hotel du Vin was a great choice for our city centre wedding and I would stay again.

I would say our experience was slightly let down by the fact it was often difficult to contact the hotel team prior to our wedding and it would take a long time to receive a reply to any emails or enquiries. I would also say that this hotel is not particularly pram friendly. Our rooms were up several flights of stairs and down narrow corridors and there is no lift, which I was not informed about before booking which would have been helpful. Overall though we had a great experience and I would definitely recommend this venue.

The Perfect Day!

Our wedding at Hotel Duv Vin was perfect, we loved every bit of it. From planning to on the day staff who were incredible. They even made sure we both ate in the evening and didn’t miss the buffet and saved us cake when we didn’t think to. The food was absolutely spot on and we didn’t hear of a single issue with anybody’s food. I’d highly recommend getting married at the Hotel Du Vin in Brighton.

Profit over experience

Dewi, Desi and the rest of the team did everything in their power to make our day perfect.

It’s a shame the hotel put profit over our experience and booked another wedding, and another function, at the same time as ours.

This overwhelmed the team who worked so hard against the clock. Despite this, details were missed that I’d discussed multiple times previously.

Overall our guests absolutely loved our wedding and the venue, but there were a lot of comments on how inconsistent the service was. Not just during our wedding but during the entire 4 night stay.

If using this venue just know the staff will do everything in their power to make your day special, but the hotel will prioritise their profits.

Great room, huge potential

hey, HDV Brighton was a great choice.
I work in the industry and I know how difficult those functions are stressful and time planning and consuming.
Dewi and his team were challenged with my requests, but nothing was too much trouble. The food was good and tasty, got to be honest, they exceeded my expectations, but it is important to keep it simple.
They know what they are doing and got Jenny - my wedding coordinator on my side to liaise so it is easier.
The room itself is sterile. no need to explain that you have to decorate it and light it up - it is add cost on your side, but it is worth it.

Here the room in video how it looks.... enjoy and you should trust them and go for it. I have done my research due to the fact that I am a caterer myself and those are the best value to money and location / overall experience.
other places are pricey and old fashion, too expensive and fancy food,
You got to be honest with yourself and keep it simple, traditional and they can do the ceremony too... so why going elsewhere... well done guys at HDV

“FAO - General Manager Hi I just wanted do say thanks to Dewi, Melissa and the on the day team for making our celebration on Saturday so great. The food was lovely and the service by the whole team and in particular Harry who looked after us all day was impeccable. We had a lovely time over the weekend including use of the Lombard Room and were made to feel really relaxed even when we turned up early to shelter from the wind which must have been a pain! Thanks again, Kat”

Fantastic day!

We held our wedding over the August bank holiday last year. We had the most fantastic day - the staff were amazing as was the food (lots of our guests said how good the food was). Everything went perfect. We had the ceremony in the dome which has an amazing ceiling! The location is great as your guests can go to the beach during any 'gaps' and if the weather is nice you can go there and get some lovely photos, like on the carousel! If I were to do it all over again I'd still have it here. I can't praise everyone enough.

Memorable Wedding Weekend

Dear Andrea,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and the team at the HdV Brighton for a superb effort on Saturday, hosting our wedding celebration. It was a thoroughly painless experience, made so by the professional and caring team that you have in the hotel. Everyone was incredibly kind and helpful throughout, offering up assistance without needing to be asked, and doing so with a smile on their faces. The canapes were delicious and plentiful, and the buffet was very well received indeed – lots of positive comments from our guests. The bar staff were incredibly helpful, on several occasions really going out of their way to serve. And of course, you were fantastic too – it was great to have you around all day for those little things that need someone to help with. You were a huge help and we both thank you for everything. I think it should also be said that there were a large number of guests who were impressed with both the venue and the service. Also, the rooms were great – ours was particularly lovely.

All in all we had a completely memorable weekend, and the HdV played no small part in that – so thank you!

Easter Wedding!

Chris and I had our wedding at the Brighton Hotel du Vin over Easter weekend and I cannot recommend it highly enough! The service, food and drink was excellent. The venue is perfect for an event like this with various areas including the gallery, Dome Room, pub and courtyards for our sole use. The marriage ceremony and wedding breakfast was in the Dome Room which is a stunning room with a glass dome and a huge chandelier made of wine glasses! They have a wedding planner at hand to help organise everything in the run up and on the day. They provide candelabra, menus, table plans and name cards meaning that there is no setting up work (or charge!). They are also really flexible so you can design your day as you want it. It's very affordable for such a lovely venue and we planned a wedding for 80 people in just 3 months! It was the perfect day :)

Beautiful Day

I and my husband Liam were married at the HDV Brighton on the 1st May and like someone else who has recently submitted a review we had to bring forward our day so a close member of the family would be well enough to attend. We literally walked into the venue two weeks before and asked for any date available! And for those who spend years planning their big day we are proof that with a bit of help from Bev and the team at HDV a wedding for 45 day guests and a further 30 evening guests can all be organised perfectly in two weeks!

Bev was brilliant and from the minute we were introduced we knew we were being taken care of. She was attentive when showing us around and we were impressed with her honesty and expert knowledge when we pitched forward some of our ideas.

On the day itself both Bev and Lilly were on hand to help. They took charge when we looked a bit lost and confused and made sure everything ran to order. Lilly was absolutely fantastic. From start to finish she worked extremely hard to make sure everyone had the right food and drink and we even got her dancing to grease lightening in the evening and she has some serious moves!! We loved her and she is a real asset to the team at HDV

Overall we had the best day, beautiful venue, top notch food (most divine creme brulee and evening buffet) and wonderfully brought together by the team at HDV.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
