Everything was in very capable hands
I just wanted to say a big thank you for all your help. We were so pleased with every aspect of the wedding reception, in particular how helpful and attentive the event team were. Knowing that everything was in very capable hands meant we could just enjoy our time at The Grand.

We all had a fabulous time
Thank you Sarah, you did a fantastic job in setting it up for us and your staff were great. We all had a fabulous time and the hotel made us feel really special. It has a great atmosphere and we think the only hotel that could put a show on like the Grand does. We will be back for the odd romantic break and we look forward to enjoying the hotel again.

We couldn't have asked for more
Visited for the weekend of our daughter's wedding and had the most perfect time. The hotel is beautiful and will be absolutely stunning when the renovations have been completed. Sarah and her events team were amazing and we couldn't have asked for more.

Travel Notes
Leave the car at home and go green. There are fantastic rail links into Brighton from throughout the UK. London Services run approximately every 10 minutes and takes just 1 hour from London Victoria, so travelling by rail couldn't be more convenient.
