CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR ENGAGEMENT!... and thank you for considering the Sands Hotel to hold your celebrations Our graceful boutique hotel offers a luxurious, stylish and contemporary venue for your wedding on one of the UK’s most beautiful stretches of coastline.

No matter what time of year you would like to hold your wedding, the Sands Hotel offers a chic venue that combines the wild beauty of refined, modern elegance and victorian charm.

We can accommodate 56 seated guests for wedding breakfast and 80 guests for hot and cold buffet. We can also accommodate larger weddings with our exclusive hire package for up to 180 guests. We also have 20 individually designed en suite bedrooms that can be hired out to you and your guests at competitive prices or included in some of our packages.

With our expertise and a beautiful venue we will ensure your wedding day a worry-free, memorable and a thoroughly romantic experience.
SOME USEFUL ADVICE... One of the most important days of your lives, knowing where to start and making those important decisions can be a little daunting. So here’s our tips to help you plan your wedding... TOP TIP: Set up a dedicated wedding email address to keep all of those important details together! 1. What’s important to you both? Sit down with your partner and decide what’s really important and where can be a little flexible! If capturing the day with a fantastic photographer is top of the list - budget for it. If your heart isn’t set on a ten tier, gold leaf wedding cake - rethink it. Knowing what you really want and what is less important will help decide your wedding budget and will be a great starting point when it comes to planning your big day! 2. Perfection vs. Reality Don’t get caught up in trying to achieve perfection. Once you know what is important to you both, focus on those things. Along the way things may go wrong but don’t worry... there is always a solution! So don’t sweat over trying to make the tiniest of details perfect - a little imperfection is far more realistic! 3. Take your time Life is pretty hectic with work and life commitments, adding into the mix of planning such an important day can become a little stressful - so take your time! Choose a realistic time frame and set yourself acheivable goals. Work through everything together and don’t rush those important decisions. 4. It’s all about you! Your wedding day is THE prefect way to show your guests who you truly are... so make it personal! There are so many ways to add those unique little touches that show you off as a couple. Think about your favourite music, the flavour of your cake or the guest favours and choose things that are a reflection of you both. Your wedding day should be an exciting story about the two of you! And finally.. 5. Take it all in After all that planning - it’s time to enjoy yourselves! Do not think about what could have been or any of the hiccups along the way! It’s your wedding day... a celebration of the two of you! So take it all in together, cherish every moment and enjoy the company of loved ones around you!
