Wedding reviews
It was a day we will never forget
It was the most perfect wedding venue, It really set for a romantic and enchanting day. Luckily it was sunny on our wedding day, so we got to hold our ceremony outside at the beautiful Coastal Terrace. The Terrace overlooks the sea which is such a lovely touch.
The staff couldn’t have been more helpful, friendly and supportive from the beginning until the end. Just want to make a special mention about Julian and Francois. Thanks to their dedication and attention to detail, everything ran smoothly. The food was delicious and all our guests had a lovely time.
It was a day we will never forget. Thank you!

The Perfect Wedding Venue
Thank you to Hannah and Jonathan! The food was fabulous for our wedding breakfast and the buffet in the evening was also delicious. A lot of our guests commented on the quality of the food as well as the venue itself.
Thank you also to Emily and Laura who arranged everything for us. They were incredible! We had so many questions and these were answered so quickly and really put our minds at rest. Emily and Laura just made the entire experience stress free and easy. They made sure that we truly had the perfect wedding and organised the very best day for us. To top all of the above off, the venue is just stunning!
The views from coastal terrace are breathtaking and the hotel itself is timeless. If you want a perfect wedding, look no further than the Hydro hotel! The hotel itself and the rooms are fabulous too – we will certainly be back for a stay for our wedding anniversary.

We genuinely had the time of our lives
Firstly, thank you for showing us the venue last October. The venue has such a special significance to us, as Aaron’s grandparents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary there. We fell in love with the hotel instantly, and knew it was the right setting for us.
Thank you both for being so responsive in your emails and making every effort to accommodate all our needs (music, canapes , amazing food etc)! Thirdly, thank you for looking after us on the day. The team kept coming and making sure we were happy and had everything we needed. The food was delicious and all our guests enjoyed themselves so much.
The gardens were truly beautiful and we’re so pleased we got to have our wedding outdoors!! We are so happy with the day and we cannot recommend and thank the hotel and your team enough.

Wedding Celebration Lunch
The team were able arrange for us to show a video of the wedding ceremony and music. Service was spot and thanks to the effort and advice of Events Organiser Emily and Manager Barry, everything on the day went off without any hitches – in fact everything was amazing. The garden room was just perfect with lots of French doors opening onto the terrace with tables and chairs and the beautiful gardens with views of the sea below. a Perfect setting for a celebration lunch.
Thank you Hydro for making our special day a perfect day.

Best wedding Day
We had the ceremony, afternoon and evening all at the hotel, the reason why is that the venue is fantastic and the staff are absolutely faultless.
Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff, Jonathan the general manager gave up his parking space to make life easier for my wife-to-be, Laura and Emily helped us plan and co-ordinate our whole day from months in advance (our wedding wasn’t the traditional one hence it took a huge amount for them to accommodate what we envisaged), Sascha was amazing as a waitress as she mingled with our guests and had so many of us laughing and Andy was so hospitable at 1:30 am when my wife needed a pot of tea and some cold bottles of water.
As a magician I have performed at The Hydro numerous times and magi Shed at countless weddings, that’s exactly why I knew this was the place to get married for me and my wife.
I have also eaten here in the past, had drinks here in the past and never had anything other than excellent service.
This hotel isn’t a new chrome and polished steel type of place, it has history, character and charm, the staff are polished and execute their roles brilliantly.
I very rarely write reviews online but the whole team at The Hydro deserve every ounce of praise.

What a wonderful wedding
The day went so smoothly, the food was fantastic, and the service was outstanding. All the guests had a wonderful time and for those that stayed we reserved the Orangery which was a nice touch the next morning. We were given a day to remember and are so pleased we chose the Hydro as our wedding venue.
Claire
An amazing venue
Laura and her team were very helpful, quick to respond to you and over all amazing.
The day couldn’t of gone any better.
They also recommended a DJ to us who we booked (White Ice Sounds) who was absolutely brilliant as well.
