Forget dreary, long-haul flights, costly packages and crumpled wedding gowns – Bournemouth is launching the country's first dedicated wedding beach hut right on the sands for the UK's first legal, civil wedding ceremonies to start in April next year.
Couples will be able to host up to 400 guests in a beautiful marquee, have the services of a registrar, choose their own music and enjoy champagne toasts and superb wedding breakfast on one of the best-loved beaches in the country.
After the UK's first legal beach hut civil ceremony in April, it will be available for weddings for six months between April and October every year. Ceremonies will start from 10am, with the last wedding at 4.30pm, seven days a week.
Head of tourism Mark Smith said: "Bournemouth has always been a very popular resort for weddings and couples have always expressed interest with the hotels for a ceremony on the beach.
"With the increasing cost of foreign travel and weddings abroad, it's a good time to introduce our very own 'UK weddings on the beach' offer."
Bellissimo Wedding Planners have signed a contract with Bournemouth Borough Council to organise the waterfront weddings. Packages for the 2012 season start at £999 which includes use of the licensed Wedding Hut, your own representative from Bellissimo Wedding Planners to help plan your day, beautiful white wooden seating, Cliff Lift arrival for the bridal party, music for your ceremony arrival and drinks reception, plus contemporary seaside decor. Couples can then add in a marquee and catering and all the other touches as they wish.
Melanie Kiani, from Bellissimo, said: "We are very confident that no-one in the UK has done this.
"We have done extensive research... and it is well accepted that this has not been done before."
