Wedding venue & reception parties in Bournemouth
A beautifully curated setting where every detail is thoughtfully taken care of, allowing you to stay fully present in the moment and focus entirely on what matters most, each other. Hotel Collingwood is a boutique wedding venue in the heart of Bournemouth.
Our private event space, the Botanical Suite, gives you the flexibility to shape your day exactly as you imagine it. The kitchen uses seasonal, locally sourced produce, the bar is stocked with local ales, gins, and wines, and our team is here to handle every detail, so you don't have to.
We're a five-minute walk from the beach and Bournemouth's gardens, which makes for some genuinely beautiful wedding photography. From clifftop views to landscaped grounds, you'll have no shortage of backdrops.

The moments that matter, in their own words
"We arrived at Hotel Collingwood to begin preparing for our wedding, and I can't fault a single member of the team. Last-minute food changes, room service for breakfast, even calming the nerves, nothing was too much bother. The hotel was spotless throughout, all our guests had an amazing time, and the food received nothing but compliments. Thank you to the whole team for making this special day so easy."
"We have just returned from a wonderful three-day stay for our wedding reception, and from the moment we booked until the second we left, Marcin and his team could not have been more professional or accommodating. Every member of staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran like clockwork. Our family and friends have had nothing but praise for the hotel, and we couldn't have chosen a better place. The food was delicious, and the rooms were comfortable."
"We cannot thank Hotel Collingwood enough for giving us the most perfect wedding day. The attention to detail on every aspect was incredible, the room looked stunning, and the whole hotel was decorated like a winter wonderland. Truly magical. We could not have done it all without owners Michelle and Eytan, who were extremely helpful, lovely, and accommodating throughout. With stylish, cosy rooms and great food, this place holds a very special place in our hearts. Nearly our first anniversary, and we can't wait to come back."
