Back in 2011 a unique beach side wedding venue was established by Melanie Kiani of Bellissimo wedding planners using the name Beach Weddings Bournemouth she opened the 'Wedding Hut'. Melanie wanted to bring a unique venue to Bournemouth. The White Beach Hut is a a unique, award-winning and truly outstanding wedding venue located right on the golden sands of West Cliff Beach in Bournemouth. Guests can stroll the short distance from Bournemouth Pier or take the Edwardian built West Cliff funicular railway UK law requires that all marriages within the UK must take place in a permanent, covered building. This utilises a bespoke white beach hut on the beach which is licensed for civil ceremonies. The beach at West Cliff in Bournemouth is the only beach in the UK where you can legally get married.
The wedding venue is primarily an open air venue, however if the British weather does take a turn for the worse Beach Weddings Bournemouth do have sturdy purpose-built marquees which are available for wedding use.
