From the first meeting with Georgia at the Solent Spa we knew we had found a venue we could entrust with our special day. However it wasn’t until the actual day of our wedding that we realised just how amazing the Solent Spa was at delivering a wedding that exceeds expectation and makes you feel like royalty!! Every step along the way is important to them and they continually delivered, no matter what our requests or crazy ideas! One of our key requirements was to have amazing food and we can honestly say the food was divine, the service expedient and the attention to detail amazing. The hotel employ a lot of staff with everyone we encountered being extremely friendly, engaging and attentive but not intrusive. The day after our wedding we were thrilled to have all our guests raving about our big day and thanking us for including them in our magical moment! Our guests felt we had pulled off the most amazing wedding, however the truth is the real thanks should go to the Solent Spa and their preferred suppliers for not only realising our dream flawlessly, but actually improving upon it and providing us the Grooms with surprises even we weren’t expecting! A big Thank You to Georgia, Josh and the team.

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. Everything was exactly as we had wished for. A big thank you to Jake and his team who worked tirelessly all day to ensure everything ran smoothly. We must also say a big thank you to Georgia for everything she did to organise our day. We couldn’t have done it without her and her calm, relaxed approach was very reassuring. I couldn’t recommend you all enough!We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. Everything was exactly as we had wished for.
