Grand Hotel Blackpool

The Grand Hotel is a large seafront hotel on North Promenade in Blackpool, Lancashire. It has several function suites, so it can host a small civil ceremony or a very large celebration under one roof.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

The Grand Hotel is a strong fit for couples who want everything in one place. The ceremony, the meal, the evening party and the bedrooms are all in the same building, and the suites can be split or joined to suit your guest list. That flexibility works well whether you are planning an intimate day or a big gathering of family and friends.

Ceremonies

The Trafalgar Room is on the ground floor and seats 100 guests for a ceremony. It has its own balcony and foyer. The Queens Suite is also licensed for ceremonies, has sea views and sits near the main entrance with a private foyer. For a much larger gathering, the Royal Suite can hold up to 600 guests in a theatre layout.

Receptions and food

The Queens Suite seats 120 for the wedding breakfast and takes 180 in the evening. The Trafalgar Room takes up to 120 in the evening and the Royal Suite up to 420. The head chef offers a range of menus, from a full wedding breakfast to an evening buffet, and these can be tailored to your tastes.

Staying

Bedrooms have large windows and classic decor, and some look out to sea. Room types include double and twin executive rooms and a double suite. Wi-Fi and tea and coffee facilities come with every room.

Getting there and the area

The hotel stands on the North Promenade sea front, close to the Tower and the main seaside attractions. Blackpool North station is the nearest main line station. On-site parking is available for a daily charge, and guests need to register their vehicle at reception.

Good to know

• The Trafalgar Room and Queens Suite are both on the ground floor.
• Early access to the function suite on the day depends on availability and is confirmed closer to the date.
• The car park is run by a third party, so unregistered vehicles may be fined.
