For couples who want to mix it up and choose somewhere a little different, Rockwater in Hove is a stylish wedding celebration space with an authentic concept and menu which nods to its seaside location.
Rockwater is not a wedding venue in the traditional sense, in that it isn't able to host a sit-down wedding breakfast and reception. However, the team welcomes relaxed-style parties, and is able to offer canapes, light bowl food and plenty of celebratory drinks! This is a great solution for couples who have, perhaps, got married abroad, or earlier in the year, and want somewhere relaxed to throw a party with friends and family. Do note that this means Rockwater is unable to accommodate decorations.
With a glass-fronted facade delivering stunning views of the water and a beautiful design scheme with a palette of soft tones, vintage and mid-century furniture and statement lighting. It's an exceptionally sophisticated backdrop for any out-of-the-ordinary wedding celebration.
There are two main spaces, starting with The Pub. Here, you can host between 30 and 150 guests in a lounge style space. What makes this option really special is the retractable roof, which can transform your gathering, as well as offering direct access to the lawns, and boasting its very own private bar. Or, why not take a look at the Roof Terrace which can host up to 120 guests seated, or up to 250 standing? From here, guests can enjoy the best views of the coastline and thanks to another retractable roof, it's a great venue space come rain or shine.
Obviously, a major factor in choosing Rockwater for your big day is the food. While occasion menus can be developed with the team, expect all that Rockwater is known for its fresh and seasonal produce, whether in the form of light canapes or a sit down dinner. Couples can also opt for a pizza station or food truck in The Pub - for something more casual, but just as delicious.
