For couples who want to mix it up and choose somewhere a little different, Rockwater in Hove is a stylish wedding celebration space with an authentic concept and menu which nods to its seaside location.
Rockwater is not a wedding venue in the traditional sense, in that it isn't able to host a sit-down wedding breakfast and reception. However, the team welcomes relaxed-style parties, and is able to offer canapes, light bowl food and plenty of celebratory drinks! This is a great solution for couples who have, perhaps, got married abroad, or earlier in the year, and want somewhere relaxed to throw a party with friends and family. Do note that this means Rockwater is unable to accommodate decorations.
With a glass-fronted facade delivering stunning views of the water and a beautiful design scheme with a palette of soft tones, vintage and mid-century furniture and statement lighting. It's an exceptionally sophisticated backdrop for any out-of-the-ordinary wedding celebration.
There are two main spaces, starting with The Lodge which spans much of the main restaurant. Here, you can host between 15 and 120 guests in a lounge style space. What makes this option really special is the retractable roof, which can transform your gathering with a festoon lit patio. Or, why not take a look at the roof terrace which can host up to 100 guests seated, or up to 200 standing? From here, guests can enjoy the best views of the coastline and thanks to another retractable roof, it's a great venue space come rain or shine.
Obviously, a major factor in choosing Rockwater for your big day is the food. While occasion menus can be developed with the team, expect all that Rockwater is known for including dishes cooked over the grill, sharing boards, fresh seafood and unique dining concepts which involve outdoor installations such as the Burger Truck and Shack by the Shore.
