We live in Folkestone and had our wedding reception in the Grand followed by a 2 night stay. I was blown away by the professionalism given to us with helping planning and also how genuinely friendly the staff are. They made us feel like VIPs and the food was delicious, especially with the amount of covers they had to do. I would 100% recommend this place and we are now going to come back every year for our anniversary for a very long time. Again I can't express enough how amazing every member of staff is at this place!! Instagram #mrandmrsdeaves
