The award-winning Gallivant has featured in an array of publications, from Condé Nast Traveller to The Guardian, as one of the most romantic beachside hotels in the UK, not to mention that it was a ‘Best Wedding Venue’ finalist in the Beautiful South Awards 2020. The Gallivant is the closest thing you’ll get to the endless beaches and blissful waves of the Hamptons, and it’s just an hour and a half from central London by train, or two hours by car.
Aside from the vast beaches of Camber Sands, The Gallivant has everything you need for your perfect beach wedding. A wedding at The Gallivant means you get exclusive use of the hotel, including its 20 beautiful bedrooms, each uniquely decorated with local art, stylish furniture and cosy beds. You and your guests can also enjoy the Beach Hut mini spa and indulge in some head to toe pampering, or relax in front of a roaring open fire with a drink in the chic bar area.
The venue is fully licensed for marriages and civil partnerships, so you can say your vows in this romantic, intimate venue, or head out onto the sands for a picture-perfect beach wedding. Make the most of this dreamy beachside location by holding your drinks reception - with champagne and canapes - on the sand too, or in the beautiful coastal garden, which makes a fabulous location for wedding photos.
Not forgetting one of the most important parts of your day - the food. The expert Gallivant kitchen team serves a wonderful three course wedding banquet in the Summer House, featuring local fish and seafood from local fishing boats, meat from the southern pastures and foraged ingredients from local hedgerows and woodlands. Whatever your ideal wedding looks like, from food to photos, The Gallivant wedding team will work with you every step of the way to make your dream a reality.
