Coastal venues
Salt air, horizon light and the sound of the water.
Coastal venues put the ocean in the backdrop — clifftop ceremonies, beachfront receptions, and that particular late-afternoon light that only happens near the sea. Plan for wind, and it will reward you.
50 venues carry this character across 19 regions, seating from 2 to 350 guests. 40 offer on-site accommodation. Capacity, price bands and accommodation details come straight from each venue.
