    Absolutely Amazing Wedding!

    Our wedding at the Sandy Cove hotel was absolutely amazing. The views, the location, everything was perfect! The wedding team are amazing at getting back to you via email (I must have sent a million emails with different questions ha)! The NEW getting ready room is absolutely INSANE! Absolutely stunning! You have a breakfast area for all of your bridesmaids to eat at and then there is basically a salon at the end! I wish I could do it all again!! My guests have commented on how beautiful my wedding venue was! Thanks again!

    Absolute perfection!

    I arrived at Sandy Cove a couple of days before the wedding to get settled in and have some chill out time before the big day.
    From the moment I arrived I felt like I was the only bride there! Even though I know they are extremely busy making many brides dreams come true, I honestly felt like the only one! Everyone was so attentive, seemed to know who I was at every given turn and made me feel so special. Nothing was too much trouble, all the staff were so kind, friendly, thoughtful and helpful.

    The day itself ran like clockwork. All of the decorations were laid out without fault, nothing was too much trouble and was in our eyes absolute perfection. Despite the rain, it really was the best day of our lives and we will be eternally grateful to you and the whole of Sandy Cove for making it happen for us.

    Perfect Elopement Wedding

    My partner and I booked an elopement package at Sandy Cove as the area has a special place in our hearts. Prior to attending for our wedding, we hadn't seen the venue in person, but had multiple communications, emails and phone calls with the wedding team at the venue. On the evening prior to our wedding we met with a wedding coordinator who was so helpful and kind. She spoke through all of our plans for the following day in great detail, and gave advice on things that may work best. We were very grateful for her accommodating approach, and left our meeting feeling relaxed and excited for the day ahead. The day of the wedding couldn't have gone any smoother. Everything that had been discussed in our meeting went exactly as we were expecting. Our wedding coordinator was incredible - she was always very close by ensuring everything went perfectly, and equally ensured that we all had our space considering how intimate the wedding was. The venue itself is stunning - the indoor and outdoors spaces are immaculate and beautifully presented. The photos you see online can't do it justice - when you're there in person, it's the most magical place. Every member of staff that we encountered during our time at Sandy Cove was so friendly and helpful. We had the most perfect day, made some incredible memories and cannot recommend Sandy Cove more highly.

    We had our perfect wedding at Sandy Cove.

    We had a winter wedding at Sandy Cove in early December and it was absolutely wonderful. It was the perfect day - even better than we had imagined! From our first point of contact, the whole team at Sandy Cove were fantastic. They were professional, friendly and always quick to answer our questions. On the day, the wedding coordinator and her team were simply amazing - clearly very experienced and everything ran seamlessly. We were lucky enough to have a bright, sunny (albeit very cold) day and we were even able to pop down to the nearby beach for photos.

    October Wedding

    We had a wonderful day. The venue, the ceremony room, the food and of course the views on a beautiful October day were the very best of what we could have wished for and all brought together by our wedding coordinator who was brilliant. Thank you so much for helping us have the perfect day.

    Absolutely fantastic venue

    We had the most amazing wedding at The Sandy Cove Hotel with over 140 guests. The staff were all very professional and helpful and the day went so smoothly without a hitch.

    The views were breathtaking and as you can see from the photos, we were particularly lucky with the weather!

    We had so many people say it was the best wedding they had ever attended.

    We would highly recommend getting married at The Sandy Cove Hotel. It was the best day of our lives and we will remember it forever! ❤️❤️

    Wonderful wedding experience!

    Sandy Cove is a brilliant venue with jaw dropping views that are hard not to fall in love with! The staff are all brilliant, especially wedding coordinators Jess and Sammie who were hugely responsive to any kind of query and contact before, during and after the big day. One of the great things about the Venue is that it’s pretty much set and ready to go! It really doesn’t need much styling as the views do the job for you, and there are lots of items you can hire too. A venue stylist/ planner is not really needed because the wedding coordinators do a lot of this! I thought the price was reasonable. The food was excellent! My only criticism would be that it can be difficult to get the bridal suite room for the night before your wedding. This is because there’s a wedding most days so in my case the bride from the day before was still in that room. We were still able to get an executive room but it wasn’t very spacious which made things a little cramped during bridal prep. Overall would definitely recommend this venue if you’re looking for a dreamy costal wedding! We were very lucky with the weather for our August 2023 wedding, but if the weather isn’t on your side I can imagine it to be a bit disappointing as the indoor ceremony room just has nothing on the outdoor space!
