Sandman Signature Aberdeen Hotel

The venue was great. Super location, nice and bright and spacious on the mezzanine. Having the drinks and nibbles for people to help themselves to was super. The gentleman that provided all the drinks etc. was very helpful. We’ll certainly use the venue again.

When I walked in, the first thing I noticed were the brightly coloured glass umbrellas suspended from the ceiling. Combined with yellow couches, seagull-shaped lights and cowhide chairs, they create a dramatic, arty first impression. It didn’t take long for the hotel’s wedding and events manager Molly to confirm exactly what I was thinking: this must be a favourite spot for newlyweds to be photographed.

From start to finish the planning for our wedding was exemplary. Every detail was perfect and everything we could have asked for. the team went above and beyond our expectations.

From first meeting Molly the co-ordinator and we'd decided to book the Sandman, the whole experience was great. Communication with Molly was great during the planning and she was always happy answering my queries and even gave some great advice for certain things that we followed. The hotel has a policy of no confetti inside, which is understandable, but as we got married at the end of September I didn't want to risk an outside confetti shot, so I asked Molly if we could do a bubble tunnel instead and was so delighted that this was allowed inside, it ended up looking amazing. 6 months before the big day we attended a menu tasting at the hotel, run by Russel, this was a great night and helped us finalise our menu choices, which was hard to do as the packages and choices are all great. The hotel is a beautiful old building, inside is modern and stunning. The locations for great photo's within the hotel are endless. Oh, and it's dog friendly so we were able to have our Collies with us for the ceremony and hung around for a few photo's, this was really special for us. The day itself went so smoothly, I wondered why I'd been worrying about all the little details on the run up to it. Molly and Russel had everything in complete control and I can't thank them both enough for making the day so stress free and enjoyable, not only for myself and my husband, but for all the guests. Having everything in one place was something we'd wanted for our day and this is the perfect venue for that. Using the mezzanine level for drinks and canapes after the ceremony was fantastic. I also have to mention the toilets next to the ballroom, amazing, giant mirror perfect for all the inevitable toilet selfies! Plus it was great to have toilets and the bar next to the ballroom so guests didn't have to use the main hotel facilities. The ballroom is split in 2 for the ceremony and meal, I worried it would look empty with 50 guests for the meal, but it didn't. Then it's opened up for the reception with a large stage and massive dance floor! Very important! The best part about the ballroom is being able to pick the colours of lighting you want! Guests who had never been to the hotel before commented how excellent it was. Also the meal, a few telling us it was the best wedding meal they'd had. Overall we're so pleased we went with the Sandman, central location, easy for guests to get to and plenty of rooms for those who wish to stay, many of ours did and all had a great experience. And it really was the most amazing day!

We had our wedding at the Sandman Signature Hotel in Aberdeen a few weeks ago and honestly we just had the best day. The hotel staff were amazing and catered to everything we asked for. Molly and Russell did an absolutely fantastic job. The ballroom is absolutely stunning and seeing my vision become a reality was just truly amazing! Couldn't recommend enough!

The Sandman Team - Molly/Russell etc were all amazing from day 1. They were flexible with our wants and needs and were really good at making the day run smoothly as well as keeping in touch with us throughout the run up and on the day itself. Absolutely would recommend this location to anyone for their wedding
