Our wedding day was amazing From start to finish

The wedding planner Chloe worked so hard to make our dreams come true and she smashed it. Everything was on point, the food, the service, the rooms were perfect and the venue was beautiful. The staff were amazing as well very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The hotel was very clean and if anything was spilt there was someone straight away cleaning up. Thank you everyone at the Cumberland for making our day so special! We will be back.

No request was too big and Chloe went above and beyond to make sure our day went as perfectly as possible I highly recommend if you’re looking for the perfect hotel wedding venue you will not be disappointed here the price point was the best we looked at and absolutely amazing value for the 5* service we were provided with

The Perfect Wedding Venue

What a magnificent venue for an event! Edward Pickering guided us expertly through the process of planning the wedding reception for my son and his bride. He gave sensible and experienced advice and really listened to us and our needs. He kept in touch and answered our questions promptly. On the day the room was set up perfectly and Ed was on hand to welcome guests with a warm smile and show them to the Red Room for welcome drinks.

Wonderful Wedding Venue

To cut, what could be a very long story short, the day was a massive success. The ceremony was commented on by several guests. The day flowed as planned, the food was wonderful. Our planner Edward, who was overseeing his first solo wedding, was in the wings the whole time, making sure all went accordning to plan. Anything that was needed was arranged. We didn't have to worry about a thing and we had an absolutley amazing weekend. We would like to thank Edward, Zack, Inacio and the their teams

Amazing Wedding

I am writing to say how delighted were with our wedding reception at the Cumberland Hotel Bournemouth on 2/11/2024. The organisation and timing was perfect. Lisa Dowdall Sousa, Inacio and Argha plus all the waiting staff were courteous, efficient and nothing was too much trouble. They even made provision for our special needs grandson. The Cumberland Hotel and all staff are a credit to your organisation. We will definitely be visiting again. Thanks again.

Describe the best wedding that happened at The Cumberland Hotel, Bournemouth?

My all time best wedding moment was a surprise. An actor was booked to attend the wedding ceremony as Patsy from the sitcom Absolutely Fabulous. At the point the registrars said the bit about does anyone object to this wedding. Patsy burst through the doors with a bottle in one hand and a fake cigarette in the other and said i'm here for the AA meeting. The whole room looked in shock and then roared with laughter. Such a lovely memory of this special day. :-)
