Our twilight wedding was just perfect

Wow! We had the best wedding in the best setting that ticked all our boxes and more. We can't thank Mel and Charlie enough for all their help and understanding of our sensitive circumstances. This was the 1st and only venue we viewed, we literally knew it was the one straight away. Our twilight wedding was just perfect, thank you!

We would highly recommend

Our Wedding day on 14/6/25 was everything we wanted it to be. From our first visit with Mel at the planning stage through to the final day, Mel was very supportive, and nothing was too much trouble. On the Day, Mel and her team, especially Charli, were excellent, keeping the day running smoothly. Food was superb, venue was great, and staff were friendly. It was a very special day. We would highly recommend. Many thanks to you all. X

Absolutely perfect day

Absolutely perfect day. All the staff were fantastic, especially Mel. The food was amazing. The disco in the evening was brilliant. No problems whatsoever. Would definitely recommend the hotel to anyone. Accommodation was perfect and so clean, and the view from our room was breath taking. As I said, I cannot fault a thing and can't thank you all enough for making our day so special.

We Could Not Stop Smiling

Dear Mel Thank you all the efforts you & the team went to in the build up & on the actual day. It was amazing. We could not stop smiling. Feedback from guests is that they thoroughly enjoyed themselves. They liked the menu choices we selected & commented on how nice the buffet was. All the staff at The View have always been polite & friendly to us, which forms part of the reason we selected your venue for our special day. We both agreed, that we would not hesitate to recommend your services

Quite Simply, Perfect

Our wedding reception at The View Hotel was, quite simply, perfect. When planning our wedding, we wanted an intimate occasion to allow us to spend as much time together with our guests as possible. We looked at several venues in Eastbourne, but knew immediately when we visited the View that it was going to be the right venue for our reception. The pier suite has spectacular views of the sea and was the perfect size for our guests. We want to say a big thank you to everyone involved in our day

Exceeded Expectations

From the moment we entered The View Hotel to discuss wedding packages, Mel immediately made us feel very comfortable & offered many suggestions & contacts for the various things we required. Throughout the planning process, Mel was absolutely amazing, making the whole experience stress-free & thoroughly enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for anything more from Mel & the team. Our expectations for our special day were not only met but exceeded in every way. The organisation of the day was perfect

The most perfect day

The View Hotel is a beautiful venue without a doubt and Mel, Daisy and the rest of the event team are extremely friendly, helpful and very talented with a passion for their jobs which is clear to see. Our day was perfect and it’s all thanks to them and The View Hotel as a whole! The food is impeccable, all our guests were complimenting it and even wanted the recipes! The rooms were set out just as we wanted them and given how truly beautiful the rooms were they didn’t even need much extra decoration as it looked magical with the mirrors, ceiling lights and fairly lights also. We couldn’t have picked a better Venue and would highly recommend anyone who is looking to get married to look at The View Hotel as you are bound to have a magical and perfect day just as we did. It’s a day we will treasure and we will never forget the staff and how brilliant they were as they all went above and beyond.

Brilliantly Organised

We had the best day. It was brilliantly organised. Everything went like clockwork and smoothly. You truly looked after me and Sam with the drinks and canapés before and after the photos and with keeping us informed with what was going on. The food was delicious and plentiful. The DJ was great and was happy to take requests. All our wedding guests had nothing but praise for the team including the people working the bar. We couldn't have asked for a better day. Thank you for everything.
