Charlotte and the Sidmouth Harbour Hotel team were fantastic, both in the run up to the event and on the day itself. We can't rate them highly enough! Communication and planning in advance of the day was excellent. We were able to visit Charlotte and the hotel multiple times to see the space, discuss plans and ensure layouts and schedules would work. Charlotte's communication was clear and punctual, even months before the event. Even though bad weather meant plans had to change at the last minute, everything was setup perfectly. We were able to use the Connaught Suite for the ceremony and wedding breakfast as well as the Harbour Suite and part of the bar area

We held our wedding at the Sidmouth Harbour Hotel on a Saturday in mid-September and cannot speak highly enough of the service and assistance we received from their events lead, Charlotte Allen, and the wider hotel staff team. The hotel is beautifully set just inland from the beach, on the Sidmouth coast and a stone’s throw from the lovely Connaught Gardens. Its gardens and the outdoor terrace area have the coastline as a wonderful backdrop; indeed, it was the perfect setting for outdoor ceremony and we were fortunate to enjoy warm sunshine. We jointly planned the day’s ceremony and subsequent celebration with Charlotte and our celebrant Lisa Craig lisa@ceremonieswithlisa.co.uk. They listened to our aspirations and ideas, but also provided helpful, timely advice and worked with us in the weeks and months leading up to the wedding to pull together the plan for our big day. Well organised and attentive, Charlotte and the hotel team were faultless in their preparation and simply exceptional on the day; no detail or concern was ignored or forgotten, nothing was too much trouble and the hotel team were actively finessing each detail throughout the day, having set the conditions in the day’s prior. We and importantly our 90 or so guests, a number of whom choose to stay at the hotel for one or more nights, had a fantastic day celebrating our wedding and we are

We started our journey in 2024 and instantly fell in love with the harbour. It's position and beauty was perfect. Unfortunately our first wedding planner left but Charlotte was able to continue with our requirements. As the day got closer 28-06-25 Charlotte was very professional and helped us with our arrangements. The day was perfect, our room was perfect for getting ready, having our guests waiting on the veranda was sensation. The grounds were amazing for photos. T

We couldn’t have even happier with our decision to select the Harbour Hotel Sidmouth as our wedding venue. The whole day was exactly as we’d envisaged. Charlotte and her team were professional, coordinated and everything went off without a hitch. The food was delicious, the meal, speeches and the changeover to reception carefully orchestrated, allowing our guests to enjoy the beautiful views from the Harbour terrace and mingle in comfo

Thanks to the Sidmouth Harbour Hotel our wedding day was everything that we ever wished for. This is a beautiful venue and the outside area with decking and lawn boasts stunning views of the coastline and sea, making the perfect backdrop for some wedding photos. Their wedding co-ordinator Charlotte is super friendly and helpful. She made sure that our reception flowed smoothly and the staff gave truly exceptional service, we can't thank them enough. They all worked so hard to keep up with our 85 guests. We were able to make our food choices from their wedding menu and go along for tastings. The quality on the day was top notch and our guests were very happy. The Connaught Suite is a beautiful room with air conditioning, and also included was the Harbour Room where we set up games and a Photobooth. Prior to booking we had viewed two other venues and we have to say that this hotel's prices were competitive and very good value for what a quality venue this is. They offer three different types of package to cater for different budgets and they were flexible to our needs. We hope to visit this hotel many more times in the future and we would highly recommend this as a venu

We had the most special memorable wedding day. The location and grounds are just beautiful and fantastic for photos. It offers fantastic facilities from the hotel, restaurant, spa and luxury rooms. Every member of staff went above and beyond to make sure every single detail was perfect and every part of the day went to plan. The food from canapés to wedding breakfast was fantastic nearly every guest commented on how tasty and well presented the food was and no one went away hungry. We believe this venue to be such great value for money but doesn’t take away from any of the magic or perfection you would want from your special day. I’ve tried but I honestly don’t h

We stayed with the Sidmouth Harbour Hotel for the week of our wedding July 24 and could not recommend the team or the hotel more if you are planning and event or a weekend get away! Working with the Harbour Hotel team was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Charlotte the events coordinator was incredibly organised and kept us on track throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, everything went flawlessly thanks to Charlotte and her team. They managed all the details, allowing us to relax and enjoy our day. The view from the lawn was spectacular and exactly what we was looking for when choosing a venue, plus with access to the spa and top deck restaurant we knew we would be in for a treat for the week that we stayed with them. Sidmouth is a gorgeous and we can't wait to return! Overall, the Sidmouth Harbour Hotel provided a magical setting for our wedding

Having a wedding at Sidmouth Harbour Hotel is very special. It worked so well with all the family staying there and everything on site. The wedding day was actually sunny weather but had it rained it wouldn't have mattered. All the guests commented on the great food and how well organised it was. The Wedding Event Manager Leonie was outstanding. So helpful with suggestions, understanding and planning. We visited the Hotel many times and all st

My husband and I had our wedding reception at the Sidmouth Harbour Hotel in September this year, and I have nothing but excellent things to say about it. I could write for hours about all the positives. 18 months of planning went so quickly but the support and help received from Cassie (wedding coordinator) made the whole process stress free and enjoyable. Nothing was too much trouble and Cassie was incredible. The whole team on the day were excellent, shout out to Millie and Paul who, with Cassie, helped everything look perfect, and kept everything running smoothly. Food was delicious, all st

Sidmouth Harbour Hotel is the best wedding venue in Devon! From the moment we looked at Sidmouth Harbour Hotel as a possible wedding venue, we knew it was something special. The stunning coastal location, tasteful décor, ambient atmosphere, welcoming staff, and proactive, helpful wedding coordinator were unique selling points that could only be found at the Sidmouth Harbour Hotel. At all times in the lead up to our wedding, the wedding co-ordinator, Cassie Middleton was helpful, supportive, accommodating, proactive and easily contactable. There is no doubt that Cassie is brilliant and made the wedding planning process as smooth as it possibly can be. Through regular communication, I always felt I could contact Cassie knowing she would be there to answer any questions I had and to offer as much flexibility as possible. Our wedding day was everything we wished for and completely exceeded our expectations. We were impressed by the attentiveness and professionalism of all of the team at the Sidmouth Harbour Hotel to ensure that our needs were attended to. The food was delicious, the weather was perfect, and the view provided the most spectacular backdrop for our photos. We wouldn't have changed a thing about our day! One particularly attractive feature of the venue is the private section of balcony which has the stunning view across Sidmouth, and was the perfect space for guests to relax and soak up the outstanding view. I would highly recommend this spectacular venue to other couples getting married in Devon, and I cannot thank Cassie and the hotel staff enough for creating such a wonderful wedding day.
