2 Reviews on “Grand Hotel Scarborough - Same-Sex Friendly Hotel Wedding Venue in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, United Kingdom - Gay Wedding Guide”
Myself and my wife hand our beautiful nuptials at The Grand in Scarborough. Cannot praise the staff enough! A safe and inclusive venue where nothing was too much trouble in a lovely seaside setting. 💞
🌈 **A Truly Magical Wedding at The Grand Hotel Scarborough** 🌈
We recently celebrated our same-sex wedding at the Grand Hotel Scarborough, and it was everything we could have wished for—and more. From the very first enquiry, it was clear this is a safe, inclusive, and wonderfully gay-friendly space—something sadly still lacking at other venues, even in 2024.
The seaside charm of the hotel perfectly complemented the warm and welcoming nature of the staff. Nothing was too much trouble, and every detail was handled with care and professionalism. Our wedding organiser was absolutely brilliant, guiding us through every step and making sure we felt truly valued throughout.
If you’re looking for a venue where love in all its forms is celebrated, with stunning sea views and a team who go above and beyond, we couldn’t recommend the Grand Hotel Scarborough highly enough. Thank you for making our day so unforgettable! ❤️
