Beth R. Sent on 29/06/2024The most beautiful wedding venue in the world, ever.
We had our wedding at Polhawn Fort in May and it was simply the best!
When we viewed Polhawn Fort 2 years ago it took our breath away, it was the first venue we viewed and we booked in that day, absolutely stunning. All our guests were wowed too and kept saying to us we’ve won the wedding of the year by our venue alone!
On top of that, James and the team were extremely helpful and went above and beyond with any query we had, and always got back to us so quickly! They were on hand to help with all our vendors and left us all to it the following day so we had the place to ourselves for a little BBQ after party, (you have the venue for the whole weekend, Friday-Monday which I thought was an absolute bargain and meant your day wasn’t over so quickly!).
You also have full access to a private beach and plenty of parking for all guests. The bedrooms are decorated so beautifully and the beds are comfy!
We loved that there is no corkage so we could bring as much booze as we liked, and there are 2 commercial fridges which is great, the caterers had one and we had the other for all the BBQ food which was delivered by Tesco the day we arrived.
I’m so glad we had our wedding at Polhawn Fort, it couldn’t have been more beautiful and we can’t wait to visit next year to relive our weekend again. Thank you so much, it was an extremely special day. -

We recently had our wedding at Polhawn Fort, and we couldn’t have asked for a more magical experience. The venue itself is stunning—set on the coast with breathtaking views and beautiful gardens that made for the perfect backdrop to our special day. The decor and ambiance of the fort are equally amazing, making it a unique and memorable choice.
Polhawn Fort was actually the first venue we viewed, and we booked it on the spot—it was just that perfect. One of the key reasons we chose it was the extended hire time of three days, allowing us to fully enjoy the space and spend quality time with our families. Another major plus is the flexibility with suppliers; we weren’t tied to specific vendors, which gave us the freedom to personalise every aspect of the wedding. Of course, this meant a bit more work in selecting suppliers, but we had incredible support from Gemma, a coordinator recommended by the fort. She was a lifesaver and provided brilliant suggestions to make the process seamless.
On the day, everything ran flawlessly. The staff were exceptional—professional, helpful, and so attentive. They clearly know exactly what they’re doing and ensured that every detail was perfect, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy ourselves.
If you’re looking for a coastal venue with charm, flexibility, and an experienced team, Polhawn Fort is absolutely the place to go. We’ll cherish our time there forever! -

Please see testimonial below:
What can I say other than wow! We fell in love with this venue from the start but every visit it got more magical and the wedding day was truly out of a fairytale. James was incredible helping us set up and answering all of the little detail questions that came to mind. The set up and check out was run smoothly and really helped relived some stress of the day. He also ensured all of the suppliers where all sorted and assisted with the running of the day. This was a dream come true location and we did not stop hearing how incredible the venue was from all our guests. I felt so honoured to make our special day our own by having the freedom to bring in our own suppliers abd decorations. It really did have a personal touch. This day will be remembered by my new husband and I for the rest of our life's and polhawn fort will be the highest recommendation from us to all couples considering it for their day. Thankyou again for making our dream day come true.

Perfect wedding venue
We originally found Polhawn Fort through this site years ago when looking for a wedding venue and nothing ever compared since!
Polhawn is absolutely perfect in everyway! Whether it's rain or sunshine you have it all! The sew views are incredible, the grand hall is stunning and the private beach just tops it off! The team were so friendly and couldn't have done enough for us. Everything about this place is perfect and we couldn't recommend Polhawn Fort enough. Thank you for giving us the wedding of our dreams. -

When we very first visited the fort we just knew it was our place to become husband and wife. We didn’t even look at other venues. What a beautiful place and setting. All staff are very helpful and communication is excellent. Everything was made super easy and nothing was too much for the staff especially James. They’re very welcoming and feel like friends very quickly. The fort is very well equipped with everything you could need for a dry hire wedding venue. The bedrooms are beautifully decorated and comfortable with the added bonus of en-suite. Communication is the key with dry hire venues and to be honest I thoroughly enjoyed organising our day myself. Polhawn can recommend suppliers but you are also free to choose who you wish. I would recommend Polhawn fort to anyone who is looking for an old (with new) historical venue, sea view and its own private beach. -
