It's a bride's dream come true! Where better  to get married than on a stunning golden beach with the sound of waves lapping in the background, a shimmering blue sea just steps away, and a happy gathering of friends and family poised to celebrate in style?

Forget dreary, long-haul flights, costly packages and crumpled wedding gowns – Bournemouth is launching the country’s first dedicated wedding beach hut right on the sands for the UK’s first legal, civil wedding ceremonies to start in April next year.

Couples will be able to host up to 400 guests in a beautiful marquee, have the services of a registrar, choose their own music and enjoy champagne toasts and superb wedding breakfast on one of the best-loved beaches in the country.

After the UK’s first legal beach hut civil ceremony in April, it will be available for weddings and civil partnerships for six months between April and October every year. The venue is available to hire from 10am to 6pm in various packages, seven days a week.
