It was perfect

We stayed at the Grand for four nights for our daughter’s wedding in Brighton It was perfect. Even though we only booked a standard inland double it was large and beautifully appointed. And at an offer rate of £99 per room per night including breakfast - a bargain. The hotel is, well, grand, but very nicely refurbished blending old and new seamlessly.

The day itself was amazing

We got married in March. Charlotte organised our special day she was always in contact to help us and only on end of phone to answer any questions. The day it self was amazing the staff were outstanding and nothing was ever to much trouble. They were friendly and we had amazing feedback from our guests about how amazing they were. The food was unreal we had a roast and everyone was saying best wedding breakfast they had. I just want to say thanks for making our special day so perfect. Would 100 % recommend the grand and can’t wait to come back and celebrate our anniversary

A credit to your organisation

I just wanted to pass on my gratitude to the staff who were serving food for a wedding meal for Humza and Kaleigh in the evening on the 24th February. We were staying in room --- and unfortunately for a number of reasons my wife and children could not stay downstairs to enjoy the lovely food for the wedding. However, one of the members of staff who was serving was extremely helpful and took it upon herself to take each meal up to my wife and children. Not only was this very kind, it also transformed our experience of staying in your hotel and meant that we had a lovely stay. I cannot over emphasis how professional, friendly and supportive she was and was a complete credit to your organisation. My only regret is that I did not get a chance to tip her and thank her personally as I suspect that she was too busy serving all the other guests. Please accept my gratitude and I hope that this feedback could find its way back to the people who served the food – thank you Barry

Beautiful and amazing

I stayed at the Grand Hotel for two nights in January, for my daughters wedding. My stay was superb from the moment I stepped out of the car. The two gentlemen door staff were first class and were the most helpful and friendly they calmed me on what was a stressful afternoon. The wedding coordinator was there even though we had never met offering support too. The sea view rooms are absolutely stunning, inland room which we were in not as stunning but very clean neat and very nice too. The wedding took place on Sunday at the hotel and I honestly wholeheartedly can say everything was spectacular my daughter was not bothered with anything the staff took care off everything for managing the suppliers off flowers to musicians they were fantastic. The service from every member off staff was first class and I loved every minute off a normally stressful occasion. I wil definitely be going back as I loved it there all I can say is amazing xxx

Superb experience

Very enjoyable overnight stay. A real treat. We attended a wedding & our group of friends all stayed. The standard of accommodation was very good & the staff (especially the concierge service) we’re friendly and helpful.

Perfect in every detail!

We cannot thank Charlotte and staff at the Grand Hotel Brighton enough for making our special day run so beautifully and smoothly. Charlotte is without doubt in the right job! From our first contact with her and at every stage right up to our wedding day she was so helpful and flexible about every single detail and request. A true, talented and passionate professional. The waiting staff and our wedding day contact Will were absolute stars as well. They looked after us so well and were so friendly and professional. We would highly recommend the Grand for your wedding ceremony and reception.

A perfect and elegant back drop

We had our wedding reception at The Grand following our ceremony at the Pavilion. Charlotte and her team helped us realise a truly amazing day. The Albert suite provided a perfect and elegant backdrop to our celebrations. We loved the attention to detail, excellent service, sumptuous surroundings and delicious food. Ours was the hotel's first wedding following lockdown and Charlotte's positive and professional approach was fantastic. Thank you! Karen & Martin.

A very special place

We had the most incredible day at The Grand, it was made even more special because lockdown started again the week after. It was our second time attempting to get married, but The Grand exceeded our expectations in every way. The building is beautiful and an incredible landmark in a cool city. There are so many great photo opportunities both indoors and out, and the Brighton Bandstand is just a few minutes down the road. The food was fantastic, all of our guests commented on how lovely it was and there were clean plates all round. The asparagus and brioche starter was especially good, and the Jaffa cake gelato to die for! Last but not least, the staff really make the place here. We were so well looked after by Charlotte, Andre and the rest of the staff- anything we needed seemed to appear as if by magic, nothing was too much trouble. Charlotte was there before the ceremony to make sure everything was in order which was very reassuring. One of the staff even helped getting a great group photo on the balcony. In short we would highly recommend The Grand, we had the most incredible weekend, I felt like a princess and I can't wait to go back, hopefully for our first anniversary!!!
