Weston’s Grand Pier Hosts Its First Wedding
There aren’t many wedding venues where you get to go on the dodgems just after saying ‘I do’, but that’s exactly what you can do on Weston-super-Mare’s Grand Pier.
The Grand Pier, which re-opened in October, hosted its first wedding in December. Hannah Love and Ben Hoskin were the first couple to be married on the Pier.
The couple exchanged their vows in the third floor Regency Suite, which has stunning views across Weston bay. The Regency suite has a huge balcony, which is also licensed for weddings, so couples can marry outside if they wish.
Ben and Hannah chose to hold their wedding breakfast for 150 guests in the Tiffany Suite. The Tiffany Suite is situated right at the end of the Pavilion building and has spectacular sea views on all three sides. The room is set apart from the main Pavilion and is a very tranquil setting.
In all, the Grand Pier offers four licensed rooms for weddings and civil partnerships. One of the most unusual wedding venues is the North Tower. This semi-circular room has floor to ceiling views of the shoreline and comes with a bridal day room, for last minute final touches.
