This venue was our dream venue. However on the day; they let people stroll into our reception which was a private rented area where our and other people’s kids were running around. The bar which was suppose to be manned at all times where hardly anyone in so the guests had to run to other bars to get drinks hence I hardly saw my husband because he was helping guests. So if you are look

We had our wedding at the Hythe Imperial and the whole day was perfect start to finish. All the staff were so lovely and really went the extra mile to make our day so special. Georgia in particular was there every step along the way to answer any question at any time and always there when I wanted to come in to ease my nerves! She made sure the entire day looked beautiful and went off without a hitch. The venue is stunning, you can’t beat being right on the coast as well as the beautiful grounds and gorgeous interior. We stayed in the Hythe Suite which was so beautifully decorated, spacious with amazing views and all the amenities we could possibly wish for! And we have to mention the food, everything we tasted all weekend was amazing quality, everyone came away commenting how delicious! The pa

We were married at Hythe Imperial in late March. We just wanted to send out a heartfelt thank you to all the staff for making the occasion a truly joyous and memorable one. Thank you to Tori and Georgia for all their hard work, guidance, input and calm (sometimes quite excitable) presence throughout planning, and thank you to Georgia for her organisational skills on the day. All the reception staff were great throughout our stay, supporting our guests to get settled in, sometimes with early check-ins, and it was lovely to meet with Portia again, as we started this whole experience with her showing us around last year. Thank you specifically to Hobi and Johnny who were kind and approachable throughout. The kitchen manager was great too, whipping up a vegan meal for one of our guests on the day, an oversight on our part! The food was a big hit with all attendees, so thank you

We got married at the Hythe imperial on 27/09/25 and from start to finish the whole experience was fantastic. Tori our wedding planner helped to bring our ideas to life, we chose the Twilight package then added things to suit our needs. All of our guests loved the hotel complimenting the whole staff team from the fantastic food to the cleanliness and the friendly staff. We found that with planning ahead our special day didn’t go over budget either. We would recommend going to the wedding fairs to get ideas to help you plan your big day. The Bridal suite is like no other! Highly recommend adding this in. Waking up on your wedding day next to the beach watching the sun rise then breakfast in

From our first meeting with the hotel to our wedding day they were brilliant! Very helpful, professional and just such a great team. Tori was always at the other end of the phone whenever we needed her. The whole team were so great on the day - even taking part in our peg game! The food was AMAZING! Everything ran so smoothly, it was the most perfect day in such a stunning venue. We went to a wedding fair there too which was so helpful and we went with most of their recommended suppliers, who again were great on the day. There’s not a single negative to say at all from start to finish. We got to know some familiar faces from booking, menu tasting, dropping items to the hotel and each member of staff always greeted us like we knew them and congratulated us throughout the day. The attention to detail, service, venue, everything! Was just so

We found this wedding venue absolutely amazing and honestly couldn’t fault a single thing. From start to finish, everything went incredibly smoothly, which put both me and my wife completely at ease on the big day and allowed us to truly enjoy every moment. Our coordinator, Tori, was simply second to none. She was always incredibly prompt with her responses, never made us feel like any request was too much, and went above and beyond to help us create our perfect day. Without her dedication and support, our wedding wouldn’t have gone nearly as well as it did. From our very first meeting, Tori made us feel completely comfortable and her attention to detail was outstanding. We want to exte

From the very first visit, the Hythe Imperial Hotel made an incredible impression on us. The team were warm, responsive, and never made us feel pressured to commit. When we chose them as our wedding venue, everything was clear and upfront — the quote was transparent with no hidden fees, and the whole process felt smooth and stress-free. A special thank you goes to our amazing wedding coordinator, Tori. She was always on hand to answer questions, offer guidance, and make us feel supported every step of the way. The menu tasting day was a real treat — we felt pampered, the food was splendid, and all our requests were met with flexibility and care. As the big day approached, the staff maintained a calm, elegant, and professional energy that helped us relax and truly enjoy the moment. On the wedding day itself, every member of staff was kind, attentive, and on point. Tori made sure every detail was exactly how we wanted it — even down to helping us track down missing room cards! There were no issues at all — just seamless service, clean and beautiful spaces, and a relaxed, joyful atmosphere. Everything exceeded our expectations. We ended up extending our stay because we simply didn’t want to leave. The surrounding area, the spa, the swimming pool, the gym, the views — all were excellent. Our guests were equally impressed and only had great things to say about the service. We also want to take a moment to say this: as a Black couple, we felt completely welcomed. In some parts of the UK, you may worry about how you’ll be received — but this was a warm, inclusive, and respectful environment from start to finish. We genuinely felt at home. Thank you to Tori, Lily, and the entire Hythe Imperial team for making our day unforg

We genuinely had the best day of our lives and there isn’t a single thing we would change! Every member of the team at the Hythe Imperial was fantastic. Our guests didn’t stop praising the venue and the wedding breakfast, one guest even said it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding! Tori was absolutely outstanding and is a credit to the hotel. She consistently went above
Carly-AnneJuly 2025
What can I say? Our wedding day was absolutely everything we could have dreamed of and more. The staff went above and beyond to make sure it was stress-free. Smooth sailing and magical! From all the meetings. The tastings. Checking and double checking all the final details. Nothing was too much. Tori our coordinator was the very best. Even when I emailed asking the same things over again. We had our wedding in the gazebo. And it was absolutely perfect. Thank you so much to all of the staff at the hythe imperial hotel for

In December 2024, after 20 years together, we pensioners booked the Hythe Imperial Hotel for a small wedding planned for February 2025. Our event included the ceremony, a wedding breakfast, and two nights’ accommodation for 10 guests, with a deposit paid on December 5th. Unfortunately, my partner became severely ill over the Christmas period and beyond, requiring critical medical care. On January 6th, we notified the hotel by phone and email to cancel, explaining the situation and providing over six weeks’ notice. On January 10th, the hotel informed us that the full balance was still due under the terms and conditions. Despite our explanation, they offered no flexibility but proposed a small settlement discount of £245 (8.4%) if the balance was paid immediately. While we understand the importance of adhering to terms and conditions, we were saddened that the hotel did not consider our extenuating circumstances or the limited expenses incurred at that point. Their approach added to the difficulty of an already challenging time. The initial planning process was smooth, but this experience has left us unsettled. We recommend that fu

From our first enquiry till now even a week after our wedding the service from the hotel and all staff have been impeccable. Us and our guests wanted for nothing. Everyone was attentive, professional, respectful and kind. Everyone was approachable and gave great service. Our venue was fantastic value for money. I had a bridal suite booked for the night before the wedding and the room was absolutely stunning. My hair and make up had plenty of space to do their jobs and had been to the venue before and had nothing but complimentary things to say. We used the hotels recommend suppliers for our disco wich was sugar promotions and the DJ was fantastic. We also used Anderson crafts for our wedding stationary who are also a recommended supplier and the stationary was beautiful, supplied promptly, I think I have made friends for life there. Georgia was our main point of contact through our wedding planning and wow what can we say, friendly , professional, so attentive. Kept us informed of all processes from booking the wedding to the day. Really listened to our needs and the hotel kitchen were so accommodating to our guests dietary needs also. Our toastmaster Russell was wonderful at corralling our guests for photo opportunities and to the timetable of our day he also worked brilliantly alongside our wedding photographer florence berry. We will be staying again for sure for our first anniversary. The hotel is home away from home for us. Thank you to all

We had the most amazing day at the Hythe Imperial Hotel. The guys there are amazing , nothing is too much trouble, they are professional, friend and make you feel like there’s nothing to worry about. The day ran seamlessly, the location and building are beautiful. We stayed the night before and the night of the wedding, the rooms are beautifully decorated and super comfortable, we made use of the spa, with a relaxing massage each before our big day. We would not change a thing about our day here, it was perfect.
