SAY ‘I DO’ ON WESTON’S GRAND PIER

Weston-super-Mare’s Grand Pier has been granted a licence by North Somerset Council to hold marriages and civil partnerships at the venue.

The Pier owners Kerry and Michelle Michael have already received over 100 enquiries about weddings on the Pier, from all over the UK.

Brides will really be able to make a unique entrance on the Pier, as wedding cars will now be allowed to drive right up to the Pavilion building. The newly covered walkway will also make sure wedding guests arrive in the dry.

No less than five areas of the Pier have been licensed – including one outside space. Couples wishing to tie the knot will have the choice of marrying on the large balcony of the Regency Suite, on the second floor of the Pavilion or in the large Regency Suite itself.

Weddings can also take place in the Edwardian tea rooms at the back of the Pavilion, which has stunning views out to sea on all three sides.

One of the most unusual venues on the Pier for a small wedding is the North Tower, which has a bridal room above it, for last minute preparations. This semi-circular venue has views over the bay.

The Coral Room on the first floor of the Pavilion is suitable for wedding parties of up to 40 people. This room looks to the South, over Brean Down.


Finally, the Great Hall has been granted a licence, so The Pier can cater for very large weddings of up to 850 guests if necessary.

Michelle Michael said: “We have created a very flexible wedding space here. Couples can have a completely private wedding, using our exclusive entrance on the North deck, or they can really get involved in the fun side of the venue. We are delighted by how many enquiries we have received already.

“We will be providing complete wedding and civil partnership packages, but we will also be offering wedding receptions to couples who have chosen to marry in a church or register office setting. We will be offering everything from a simple drinks and canapes reception to a full wedding breakfast”.
