The views from the function room were spectacular
Everyone commented on how excellent the service was and how tasty the food was. The staff were very friendly and attentive. On the day of the wedding everything ran very smoothly all thanks to the diligence of the staff at the Maritime and Helen. All of our guests commented on how relaxed the day was and how beautiful the food was as well as how attentive and friendly the staff were. The views from the function room were spectacular. We had the best day celebrating our wedding at the Maritime.

The wonderful staff exceeded all our expectations
The Maritime Hotel and the wonderful staff exceeded all our expectations. The staff at the hotel were absolutely outstanding and nothing was too much trouble. We honestly cannot put into words how special our day was at the Maritime and how easy it was to enjoy our day as they really made it special for us. The feedback from our guests couldn't have been better, everyone really had a great day and our guests who stayed couldn't recommend it more.

I can't even begin to thank you personally enough
From the very 1st email reply / correspondence we had with you to the BBQ on Whiddy the attention to detail and service you all provided was beyond what we could have wished for. Everyone is saying it, how amazing everything was in The Maritime. Everyone said the food was delicious and very ample, the BBQ went down a treat. The room setup was perfect, loved the decor and the fairy light entrance went down a treat, oh and the wishing well card drop off was a lovely touch.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

My No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples is to prioritize communication. Talk openly about your vision, budget, and any concerns with each other. Establishing clear roles and responsibilities can help prevent misunderstandings and reduce stress. Remember, it's your day—focus on what truly matters to both of you!
