Such a special wedding venue

Having a wedding at Sidmouth Harbour Hotel is very special. It worked so well with all the family staying there and everything on site. The wedding day was actually sunny weather but had it rained it wouldn't have mattered. All the guests commented on the great food and how well organised it was. The Wedding Event Manager Leonie was outstanding. So helpful with suggestions, understanding and planning. We visited the Hotel many times and all staff were extremely friendly.
The hotel is near Connaught Gardens and Jacobs Ladder where you can have stunning photos taken. Highly recommend.

Excellent Wedding

My husband and I had our wedding reception at the Sidmouth Harbour Hotel in September this year, and I have nothing but excellent things to say about it. I could write for hours about all the positives. 18 months of planning went so quickly but the support and help received from Cassie (wedding coordinator) made the whole process stress free and enjoyable. Nothing was too much trouble and Cassie was incredible. The whole team on the day were excellent, shout out to Millie and Paul who, with Cassie, helped everything look perfect, and kept everything running smoothly. Food was delicious, all staff were friendly and efficient. Highly recommended wedding venue! Rooms were also incredible, and breakfast was yummy too!! Thank you all so much.

Best Wedding Venue in Devon!

Sidmouth Harbour Hotel is the best wedding venue in Devon!

From the moment we looked at Sidmouth Harbour Hotel as a possible wedding venue, we knew it was something special. The stunning coastal location, tasteful décor, ambient atmosphere, welcoming staff, and proactive, helpful wedding coordinator were unique selling points that could only be found at the Sidmouth Harbour Hotel.

At all times in the lead up to our wedding, the wedding co-ordinator, Cassie Middleton was helpful, supportive, accommodating, proactive and easily contactable. There is no doubt that Cassie is brilliant and made the wedding planning process as smooth as it possibly can be. Through regular communication, I always felt I could contact Cassie knowing she would be there to answer any questions I had and to offer as much flexibility as possible.

Our wedding day was everything we wished for and completely exceeded our expectations. We were impressed by the attentiveness and professionalism of all of the team at the Sidmouth Harbour Hotel to ensure that our needs were attended to. The food was delicious, the weather was perfect, and the view provided the most spectacular backdrop for our photos. We wouldn't have changed a thing about our day!

One particularly attractive feature of the venue is the private section of balcony which has the stunning view across Sidmouth, and was the perfect space for guests to relax and soak up the outstanding view.

I would highly recommend this spectacular venue to other couples getting married in Devon, and I cannot thank Cassie and the hotel staff enough for creating such a wonderful wedding day.

April Wedding 2017

Sidmouth Harbour Hotel is in an idyllic setting! Every one of the guests at my wedding commented on how perfect the location was. The venue itself is gorgeous and decorated in a seaside theme which fit perfectly with the seaside theme of my wedding. The staff were so helpful, especially the wedding planner who went above and beyond to cater for things we asked for and helped so much on the day. I could not recommend this venue more. Amazing!
