Planning a Coastal Wedding in Bournemouth? Here’s Why Marsham Court Stands Out

Planning a wedding is all about setting the perfect scene – and there’s something undeniably magical about saying “I do” with the sea as your backdrop. If you’re dreaming of a coastal celebration in the UK, Marsham Court Hotel in Bournemouth offers the perfect blend of seaside charm, tailored service, and elegant surroundings.

Here’s why this historic hotel remains one of the South Coast’s most sought-after wedding venues in Bournemouth.

A Seafront Location That Sets the Scene

Views That Elevate the Moment

Perched just above Bournemouth’s award-winning beachfront, Marsham Court offers panoramic views across Poole Bay, creating a dramatic and romantic backdrop for wedding photos, ceremonies, and celebrations. The beach is only a short walk away – ideal for sunset strolls or even a post-ceremony paddle.

A Central But Peaceful Setting

While centrally located, Marsham Court sits slightly above the bustle, giving it a sense of calm and privacy without sacrificing convenience. Guests have easy access to the beach, gardens, Bournemouth Pier, and the town centre’s shops, bars, and transport links.
