Best venue ever

We had the best day of our lives. Kathy and the team did everything they could to make it perfect and the intimate venue made the perfect day we had been dreaming of. The welcome drinks/ canapés were great and the 3 course meal was absolutely delicious!!

The Kave looked stunning

thank you so much for making our wedding day so special, the Kave looked stunning, so pleased we managed to get married at the Kave in July 2020. We hope many other couples can be as happy with their post lockdown wedding as we were.

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! We had our wedding here on the 3rd December and had the most magical time. The staff are absolutely fantastic and go above and beyond to make your day perfect. They are a credit to Ocean Kave and you can tell they all really care about the guests. Nothing is too much trouble and they really do make you feel special. We had a small and intimate wedding and all the party stayed in the various cottages on site. The accommodation really has the wow factor. Everyone was thrilled with the cottages. The small touches such as the Christmas trees and the scones with clotted cream and jam just made it even more perfect. The mulled wine and mince pies on arrival helped too. The kids loved the games room and play area, and loved going to collect the eggs from the chickens. As for the wedding day, it was just perfect. The Kave is the most magical, beautiful and wonderful setting and would highly recommend it for anyone looking to have their special day there. We hadn't even seen the venue before we went down and it really didn't disappoint. We want to send a massive thank you from myself, Darren and all our guests for a truly amazing weekend to remember.

Absolutely stunning!

After scouting through all the wedding mags and supplier shows that you could ask for I found myself wondering.... i want something different, something that people would remember not just the same old hotel or banquet hall venue. That is when I came across Ocean Kave. I myself live in Kent so the idea of a 6 hour drive had to be for something truly worth it and Ocean Kave could not have delivered more. Compromising of a 'cave' where your ceremony is held, a semi circle venue hall overlooking the sea, a huge lawn which gave lots of entertainment ideas to the on site accomadation that is, simply put, beautiful. There is not much you could ask for out of this venue that it didnt have and from day one the team at Ocean Kave have been on hand with any questions or advice needed, trying to make your day as if it was the only wedding happening in the world. On the big day itself every member was available for any of your needs, making sure every detail that you had envisioned would happen. There are ample backdrops for all your wedding pictures and there is also a path that runs down the hill for perfect couple shots with the sea below and the sun setting behind you. Ocean kave provide a golf buggy to take you down to this path and back in time for drinks! Everything is modern and sleek, with sparkly floor and walls in the bathrooms. The uniqueness of Ocean Kave is one that has to be seen and should definitely be on your list of venues to see!

We cannot recommend Ocean Kave enough!

We cannot recommend ocean Kave enough! We had our wedding here nearly a week ago & all our guests are still going on about how amazing the venue was! The views are stunning, the kave was beautiful, the food was delicious. We could not of picked a more perfect setting for our special day. Kathy & Rich had been fantastic during the wedding planning, living in Suffolk & choosing a venue so far away was a bit daunting as we didn't know where to start with choosing florists etc but they made the whole experience for us stress free! During our stay nothing was ever too much trouble & Rich & his team on the actual wedding day were so lovely. They really made our day that bit more special. We could just relax & enjoy the whole day. We would definitely recommend ocean Kave. Thank you once again.
