Leas Cliff Hall

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding venue than Leas Cliff Hall. We are so happy we chose it and everything ran incredibly smoothly, allowing us to completely relax and enjoy the day without worrying about any of the logistics. The setting itself is absolutely stunning, with amazing views over the English Channel which made such a beautiful backdrop for our wedding. The balcony looked particularly lovely with all the lights in the evening and created such a special atmosphere. Everything inside looked fantastic too. The tables and chairs were beautifully set up, the linens and all the finishing touches looked wonderful, and the whole venue felt incredibly festive and special. The team took care of all the little details behind the scenes, which we really appreciated, particularly as we organised the wedding from London. The food was also fantastic! We received so many compliments from our guests about how delicious everything was, including from guests with dietary requirements who were really impressed with how well they were catered for. Huge compliments to the chef and catering team. Everyone we dealt with at Leas Cliff Hall was friendly, helpful and professional, both in the run-up and on the day itself. We honestly couldn’t have imagined a better venue or team and are absolutely delighted with how our wedding turned out. Thank you to everyone

Leas Cliff Hall is situated overlooking the mermaid tail at Folkstone Beach. A stunning backdrop for a start. The panoramic windows and full length balcony allowed the best way to showcase this incredible scenery. The space itself is simple (not for anyone wanting ornate fittings or classic architecture etc), but well decorated clean and flexible, with the ability to partition off areas to allow for a sense of intimacy for the ceremony itself, then to open it up in sections and use it as you wish. The cost was incredibly reasonable. It was one of the only places we found that changed the same for a weekend in the summer as a weekday in the winter, which is amazing! Linen was provided, and an amazing and generous 3 course meal at a cost that did not break the bank. They also helped arrange contact with the Registrar. Because it is not part of a hotel or communal space, this venue area is exclusively for your own use, including the bar area. This means there is no reason why anyone else should intrude on your private function, or risk that you will have to work around other functions on the day. Because of this, and because they did not stack their bookings. we were permitted to use the venue for the whole day, allowing for a relaxed setup. The perceived disadvantage for some is that there is no accommodation attached, which means you cannot get a package deal, but there are plenty of hotels, of varying quality, available nearby, and close by, that were able to accommodate all our bookings. This leads me to the staff. Hugh and his team were fantastic! They couldn't do enough to assist with every little detail. Double checking each element to ensure it was exactly as required before the event, working flexibly with me, and making the planning a relaxed and fun experience. To add, I have a really particular friend who worked in the catering industry and who, unknown to me, checked every element of the linen, cutlery etc.

After our original wedding venue went bust, The Channel Suite stepped in to ensure our day could go ahead on the same date. From the moment we contacted them we can not thank for the speedy and efficient way everyone dealt with the

A truly unique venue with incredible views, looking straight out to sea. Perfect in every way. The balconies which ran the length of the Channel Suite meant that, as the su
