Weddings at The Grand

Civil Marriages were first introduced to private premises in 1995 and the Grand Hotel was the first in the region to hold a ceremony in a place other than a church or a register office. Since that time, hundreds of happy couples have been married by registrar within the hotels two licensed areas... the intimate Oak Room and the magnificent Orchid Suite. (Maximum seated capacities 100 and 130 respectively)

The Perfect Reception

On arrival you and your guests will be met at the entrance by our host/hostess and then directed to a bar area or state room where arrival drinks will be served.

Following arrival drinks and photographs, which normally last about an hour, a receiving line is formed at the entrance to your chosen dining room. This ensures that both families have the opportunity to speak to all the guests, but conversation should be kept to a polite minimum as the queue can become unwieldy.

From the time of sitting down, the wedding breakfast, including speeches, takes approximately two and a half hours.
