🌈 A Truly Magical Wedding at The Grand Hotel Scarborough 🌈

We recently celebrated our same-sex wedding at the Grand Hotel Scarborough, and it was everything we could have wished for—and more. From the very first enquiry, it was clear this is a safe, inclusive, and wonderfully gay-friendly space—something sadly still lacking at other venues, even in 2024.

The seaside charm of the hotel perfectly complemented the warm and welcoming nature of the staff. Nothing was too much trouble, and every detail was handled with care and professionalism. Our wedding organiser was absolutely brilliant, guiding us through every step and making sure we felt truly valued throughout.

If you’re looking for a venue where love in all its forms is celebrated, with stunning sea views and a team who go above and beyond, we couldn’t recommend the Grand Hotel Scarborough highly enough. Thank you for making our day so unforgettable! ❤️

Wedding venue for the younger generation and no disabilities

It was an amazing day. Just too hot no windows were allowed to be open so all my guests sat outside most the day to cool down, alot of up and down and in and outside for a whole day wedding including ceremony, as safety precautions were vital, it was just a faf for all my elderly or disabled guests, not enough bar staff, also guests were able to join wedding guest in the other room we had to wait in for the wedding room to be prepped which wasnt very good for my wedding pics as they have them strangers in the background, the food was amazing for a buffet, the host rachel did a fantastic job helping our day go as smoothly as possible but if you want to choose this venue read the small print only 65% of cancelled guests food items are returned if you make changes, the music was system you need to be able to do yourself on your phone. The the day was amazing all our guests made it magical and we made memories never to forget as there was so much space for over 100 guests to chill or dance
Thank you I hope my comment helps you to improve this venue for the next guests

Great wedding Venue!

This was an amazing place for our Wedding! The venue manager was great and very quick to respond. The price is affordable and they tried to work with our budget. The location is beautiful with a sea side view. The photo opportunities are plentiful to get amazing shots with a lot of different backgrounds. All and all, I and my husband were very happy with this venue and we recommend it .🤗

Perfect Setting - Great Service

My Husband and I (that's still so new!) had our wedding at The Grand Hotel Scarborough a few weeks ago. From the initial look around the venue to the day going off so smoothly, the staff at The Grand were amazing. They answered all our questions and made sure we got the day we hoped for in a lovely setting. Definitely worth a look for brides and grooms to be.
