Cannot wait to return to Nici Bournemouth!!

Just checked out of the Nici Bournemouth for the first time as part of my mini moon. The service by the staff was first class and all of the facilities were incredibly clean and modern. Upon arrival the hotel very kindly upgraded our inland view room to a sea view with a large balcony, and it was a lovely gesture. The room itself has everything you need and again was modern and clean. Spa and gym had a great variety of equipment and long opening hours. Overall a fantastic experience with staff being very friendly and accommodating. We will be back soon and are also looking forward to trying other locations of Nici!

WE got married at The Nici!!

We really want to say thank you to you and your team for helping to make our wedding day the best day of our lives.

All your staff were very attentive and caring for us and our guests. We are both extremely to be able to tell people that WE got married at the Nici.

You have personally been absolutely phenomenal and made us feel incredibly at ease the whole time. You did make a comment on the day and said that we were so relaxed and chilled out, which we were.. but that was due to how well you organised it all for us.

We also want to say a particular thanks to the Banquet manager, he was brilliant.

Hi I am Kayleigh! Your Wedding Wing Woman here at THE NICI!

Having worked in the wedding indutry for nearly 5 years from 5 star venues to beautifully historic castles, I take a warm, thoughtful approach to helping couples plan their day. I understand that every wedding is personal, so I focus on getting to know you and what matters most, making sure your celebration reflects you both in a natural and meaningful way.

From the early planning stages through to the day itself, I’ll be there to keep everything organised and running smoothly, so you can relax and enjoy every moment. Whether it’s coordinating suppliers, managing timings, or taking care of the little details, my aim is to create a calm, supportive experience and a wedding that feels effortless and truly yours.
