About The Connaught Hotel And Spa

Just a few minutes walk from Bournemouth town centre and the sands of Bournemouth beach, The Connaught Hotel and Lodge couldn't be better placed for a seaside wedding on England's sunny south coast. 

It's no surprise then that this is an extremely popular wedding venue, and the events team at the Connaught have boundless experience and enthusiasm as a result, having worked on over 300 weddings in the last 10 years. 

The team here works tirelessly to ensure every detail of your wedding is executed to perfection, from wedding breakfast to reception. The hotel also boasts 81 smart hotel rooms for guests, as well as a spa, swimming pool and a bar with an extensive collection of specialist gins. 

If you're looking to hold your wedding here, you have a choice of three stylish wedding suites, as well as the beautiful private gardens for outdoor weddings in the warmer months. The Connaught is one of the few venues in the area that is licensed for indoor and outdoor weddings, so you could say your vows in the Courtyard Garden in front of our baby blue beach hut if you so choose. Indoors, you have a choice of the smaller, 60-capacity Blakes room, and the bright and spacious Brasserie or Franklyn Suite, which can both hold 120 guests. There are two choices of reception room as well - the intimate Boardroom, or the Franklyn Suite, which has a private entrance, bar and lounge, as well as direct acccess to the courtyard. 

Meanwhile, the experienced catering team are more than able to cater for any dietary requirement and can tailor a variety of menus for your wedding breakfast, lunch, and evening meal. Get in touch with The Connaught to explore their range of wedding packages, and organise a time to see the space for yourself.

Testimonials For The Connaught Hotel And Spa

Utterly perfect in every wayOCTOBER, 2023

We could not be more grateful to Maria and the team for giving us the most incredible wedding day. I am so glad we booked the Connaught and our guests haven't stopped commenting on what a wonderful wedding it was. From the amazing food, the seamless running of the day, the emotional support from Maria in the weeks running up to it - EVERYTHING. I truly felt like a guest at my own wedding. We were so relaxed, so much love and happiness and everyone there made us feel like we were the only wedding they were going to do this year. We were in such safe hands and felt so truly well looked after. If you are considering getting married here, book it, you won't regret it. Thank you Maria and the team, you've given us the best memories and we will cherish them forever.

Cannot express enough how amazing Maria and the whole team and hotel were for our daughters wedding. Even though we supplied our own decor the staff executed it perfectly and really understood the girls vision. All the staff were amazing. The service was fantastic and the food was just incredible. Everyone commented on how lovely the food was and how beautiful the day was. The girls had an amazing day. Thank you so so much.Diane and Paul Crocker
