Where To Get Married In Brighton
Wether you’re recently engaged, or it’s been on the cards for years getting married in Brighton is iconic. I am a new resident to the seaside town, with a small spat of living down here for a year about 11 years ago and since then a lot has changed.
My first wedding I did was along the coast near Rottingdean, it was a lovely pub and I just decorated the tables with bud vases and did a small hanging hoop from the outside flag pole. Now, we have so many venues in and around Brighton- but what suits you? Best to look at capacity, style, licensing and budget. This is a brief list of places, I think suit different weddings but ultimately most of the pubs, restaurants and even swimming pools will host your wedding- just make sure it suits you and the rest of your favourite suppliers!

DUKE OF YORK’S CINEMA- I am a huge cinema-going-lover. And so if there’s a chance someone is getting married at a cinema, and a cinema as special as Duke of York’s.. i want an invite. It hosts over 100 seat capacity, and you can rent it for the wedding ceremony and drinks after. Imagine, popcorn, a drink and watching your sister getting married- I LIVE! To me, the cinema is a great place to tie the knot, and you can even have a private screening of your own cute movie if you get your act together in time.

2. BRIGHTON TOWN HALL- yes, it’s obvious but it needs to be told. I’ve got my brother’s wedding next week, their ‘small’ one and they’re having a small ceremony at the registry office and then onto a beautiful restaurant in Hove. We are all meeting for drinks in a nearby bar beforehand, but the convenience of it is IT IS RIGHT IN THE CENTRE OF TOWN, so close to the lanes and perfectly situated in between bars, restaurants and shops (most notably Dr Martens, in case you need to buy something new and that will suit your surroundings). You can pay for a registrar and your ceremony can be done in 30 minutes- signed, sealed, delivered!

3. PATTERNS-seafront location with heaps of room. Fully licensed bar and catering, and you can most definitely fit your band in. There’s downstairs if you have an enormous party but ultimately turning the upstairs into a dance floor is the most fun. Such a wonderful location, central, on the coast and if it’s good weather (we can only hope), you can go for a post-first-dance-dip… anyone?

This is far from a comprehensive list, but it’s the start. And I will add to it the more weddings I do in my now hometown! If you are looking to get in touch about your wedding flowers, look no further!
