Our wedding 27.12.2024
Had our wedding at Sandman Signature Hotel and from the start they were exceptionally helpful. I was the most disorganised bride ever but Molly and her team took care of everything. They actually helped with me thinking about little extras. The food was amazing and the Decor was exactly how I wished it would be. Highly recommend Sandman for weddings Thank you to all the team From Margaret & Stefan Skogh

The best day of our lives ❤️
The sandman was the most beautiful venue for our wedding. Molly was so quick at replying to any queries and questions we had from when we booked the venue 2 years ago until the day of. Russell was fabulous on the day making sure everyone knew when and where they were meant to be. Everything flowed perfectly and their were no issues or things that didn't go quite to plan. Everything came together so well in the end. So spacious. Lots of areas We couldn't be happier with the end result. The sandman Aberdeen will forever have a special place in our hearts.

A day we will never forget
Outstanding leadership from start to finish. Excellent meal with ALOT of compliments on the Fillet of beef. Bridal suite 5* with aircon was a god send. Thank you to Molly and Russell and of course to the team who all worked fantastically together x

Distinctly Aberdonian, with bags of personality
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.

Organising from Abroad
I just wanted to thank you both for being so helpful whilst organising my event, both of the coordinators were very good at listening to my requests with the utmost patience as at times I was quite stressed as I was organising it all from abroad! I didn't need to worry as everything went very well on the day and everyone really enjoyed it all.

Bright and Spacious
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.
