THE VOWS The venue boasts a large function space, The Strand Room, overlooking the lovely rear lawn, with the beach and sea beyond. It can host 120 guests for your “I dos.” Alternatively, if you’d rather be surrounded by the great outdoors as you exchange your vows, the garden has a large pagoda also licensed for ceremonies. Up to 120 of your loved ones can witness your nuptials here against the stunning backdrop of the sea. CELEBRATE IN STYLE The Strand Room is also the place to be for your reception, seating 120 for the wedding breakfast. The Strand Bar, which enjoys the same stunning vistas as its larger counterpart, is also available for smaller gatherings.  THEMED VENUES 31
