    Amazingly unique venue

    We got married at Tunnels Beaches in October 2023 and asides a chilly sea breeze, it was everything we hoped it would be.

    When we began searching for a venue back in 2022, we based our search on locations we hold dear to us, mountains and coastline. It didn't take us long to realise that Tunnels was the place for us!

    We booked the venue without a viewing as we could see it was everything we wanted for a unique, relaxed and memorable wedding day and I'm do pleased we did!

    The day itself was perfect. Everything we pictured came to life, its just a shame the day goes so quickly.

    Our guests are still saying how stunning and different the venue was, which made their travelling efforts from Essex all worthwhile.

    Our photo's turned out beautifully, the backdrop is unbeatable and the mood and rustic vibe the venue offers is breathtaking.

    Food was super tasty; everyone enjoyed their meal and the staff coped amazingly well catering for all our guests needs.

    We had 2x of the Tunnels houses for our wedding and both were stunning and comfortable. The decor is so unique and more, which also made for great pictures.

    Big thankyou to all the Tunnels team, each and everyone of you helped us when needed and made sure our day went as smoothly as it could.

    I just wish we could do it all again!

    Best venue in the UK!

    We had the most perfect wedding day thanks to the amazing team at Tunnels. The venue is just breathtaking, and the team are so accommodating, kind and laidback - they made us and all our guests feel so comfortable. Even in the run-up to the day, nothing was too much bother for them and everyone on the team was so helpful and gave us so many fab ideas for the day. So many of our guests have said it's undoubtedly the best wedding venue they've ever been to, and we agree! Thank you for making it the best day we could ever have hoped for!

    Couldn’t ask for better!

    We cant thank Jamie and the team at Tunnels enough for our amazing wedding! We had the best day, all our guests commented how beautiful the venue is and how relaxed our day was. We were so lucky with the weather and the food was delicious. There’s nothing that the team didn’t help with on the day and for that we can’t thank you all enough, we wouldn’t have changed a thing!

    Wedding of our dreams


    After deciding we wanted a venue by the sea we were so excited to find tunnels, and on our first viewing we booked right away after falling in love with the place. After two years of planning our day it was everything we wanted and more – we had major wedding blues leaving this gorgeous venue.

    Jamie and the team where great from the get-go with constant email confirmation and nothing was an inconvenience, they were only too happy to make our vision a reality, even having our beloved dog at the service. All the staff were incredible and made us feel at ease. The morning of the wedding the wedding manager took all our items and made sure what we had envisioned was carried out to a T.

    The accommodation was great and was so lovely to have a nearest and dearest getting ready with us on our special day.

    Walking down the tunnels towards my future husband is a feeling I will never forget, everything went so smoothly, no hiccups at all. We even got to have our first dance outside surrounded by all our family with sparklers.

    Our wedding day will be a memory we will cherish, we can’t thank Tunnels enough, we can’t wait to visit on our anniversary.

    Incredible venue & team!

    We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day at Tunnels! From the moment we booked the venue, right the way through to when we checked out the morning after the wedding, the Tunnels team including all the office staff, the venue staff, accommodation cleaners etc, were incredible. I live fairly local so had visited the venue a few times and nothing was ever too much to ask, even with all my last minute questions, and requests!

    The morning of the wedding the venue host came to the accommodation and talked me through everything and answered all my nervous questions! She made me feel very relaxed and everything went incredibly smoothly. They closed off the tunnels to the public for when you walk down towards the aisle and it was just the most incredible feeling.

    The rest of the day also went very smooth, the venue staff just had everything under control and nothing got delayed. Even the change over of staff from day to night was super easy and the venue itself is just the most stunning place, even at night! I was lucky enough to have dry weather but even in the rain (or storms which is when we first saw the venue and booked), it is just the most incredible, special, unique place. Most of our guests came from Ireland, Northern England and Scotland and couldn't get over how beautiful it was. And we can't forget about the BEAUTIFUL food!

    It's a day we will cherish forever, and I'm so glad we live local so we can come back and visit our new favourite place over the years to come.

    Our wedding July 2023

    Tunnels Beaches facilitated the day of our dreams. We felt so cared for by them throughout the day and also in the lead up to our wedding. We feel so lucky to have been married at Tunnels and it’s amazing that the venue isn’t just all about the setting..! All of the elements are first class and that really starts with the heart of the staff. We didn’t feel like another wedding being churned out and just felt completely special and unique. The food is also amazing. So happy we got married here.

    Wedding in June 2023

    We got married at Tunnels in June and it was honestly the most perfect day. We can’t thank the team at Tunnels enough! The venue we knew would be incredible but everything else was honestly amazing. The food, the drinks, the whole set up and the staff were fantastic! The bbq food was so vibrant and tasty and there is an amazing selection to choose from. The pasties in the evening went down a storm! People were literally pulling them out of suit pockets and handbags the next day. We also booked The Courtyard and The Bath House accommodation for 2 nights and everyone commented how great they were. We were blessed with lovely weather the whole time we were there, so got to really enjoy the courtyard area which is the perfect communal space. We were looking for a lovely coastal and relaxed wedding and this is exactly what we got. Tunnels delivered everything and more!

    Couldn’t recommend enough

    The Tunnels was the easiest and best decision of our entire wedding. We couldn’t recommend the venue more highly. I think once you’ve seen it, you’ve got no option but to book it! The entire team were brilliant from start to finish. They answered my many emails before the day and I felt very comfortable leaving them in charge of the schedule on the day itself. We managed to have our service outside, I love that you can decide so last minute depending on the weather. The food was incredible, our wedding photographer actually said it was the best wedding food he’d ever had! The morning after we went down to clear up and all of the work had already been done, which was such a huge help. The houses on site are beautiful and so convenient. I don’t have anything even vaguely negative to say!! Thank you all so so much for everything, we can’t wait to return!

    Incredible views, food and team

    Tunnels Beaches is 100% the most amazing venue in the UK. The views, food and staff are all incredible. Didn't have a thing to worry about on the day. We booked without even a visit and have zero regrets! Book it.
