Your Beach Wedding Ceremony...

At Beach Weddings Bournemouth you will be having your ceremony in one of the most unique wedding venues in England & Wales.

We have a gorgeous little ivory painted Wedding Hut right on the sands of Bournemouth’s award winning West Cliff Beach. This is the first time that it has been possible to have a legal wedding or civil partnership ceremony right on the sand in this country. The Wedding Hut is located at the foot of the West Cliff lift meaning that its perfectly located for the guests to arrive for your ceremony via the lift, although several car parks are also close by allowing a lovely short walk along the promenade to Beach Weddings Bournemouth for those guests who prefer. The bride can also make her arrival by using the cliff lift whilst the guests and her groom eagerly await her arrival inside the

marquee. We have a large decked area built off The Wedding Hut on which we have a locally made driftwood arch and your ceremony will take place under the arch and the signing of the official Registers takes place inside The Wedding Hut which features local coastal décor and a lovely window overlooking the sea which allows the natural light to flood in.

You can hold just your ceremony with us at Beach Weddings Bournemouth or you can have a ceremony followed by a drinks and canapé reception or you can chose your ceremony followed by your wedding breakfast inside the marquee.

Whichever choice you make you will be enjoying a truly unique venue and views over the sea no matter what the weather.

Your Beach Wedding Marquee Our marquees are built on the sand butting up to The Wedding Hut so that your guests are seated inside for the ceremony whilst the bride and groom stand for the ceremony immediately in front of the marquee on the decking just in front of The Wedding Hut. We work with professional and experienced teams who build our marquees to a high specification using solid structures and good quality materials and staking to ensure that the marquees provide good protection from wind and rain should that be needed so you can be safe in the knowledge that your wedding will be special and hugely enjoyable no matter what the weather decides to do!

We have a range of marquees, the smallest being a 9m x 9m white framed

marquee which is suitable for up to 50 people for a ceremony and a wedding breakfast seated on round tables. We can accommodate any number of guests for you right through to 400 so please let us know your approximate numbers and we can provide you with a specific quotation.

Our full specification marquees come with ivory linings, natural coloured carpet overlay, 3mx3m entrance porch with Chinese hat, catering tent on the side of your marquee for food preparation and a second 6mx 6m Chinese Hat marquee with a hard floor for your drinks reception following your ceremony (2 Chinese hat marquees can be put together for larger numbers).

Please note that it is a legal requirement that all guests are able to hear the Registrar and the Bride and Groom take their vows.

The microphones will be turned off for the signing of the register to allow the Bride and Groom privacy and will be removed for photos.

Please ensure your guests allow plenty of time to find somewhere to park to ensure they are not late for the ceremony. Traffic can also be heavy at weekends and during children’s school holidays so as well as ensuring your guests allow extra time for their journeys, please also ensure that the Bride and Groom allow plenty of time to travel from where they are getting ready to the Beach Weddings Bournemouth site. If you are late, it will impact the rest of your day leading to a shorter drinks reception and wedding breakfast. Please also be aware that the Registrars for your ceremony are very busy and will have other ceremonies to conduct at other locations after yours. If you are very late, they may not have time to conduct your ceremony. Beach Weddings Bournemouth are not liable for this.
