BOURNEMOUTH HIGHCLIFF MARRIOTT HOTEL From its prime spot on the cliffs, this venerable hotel has the food to match its views. And drinks too, once you've retired to the cocktail bar… M arriott is one of those hotel brands you trust to get a wedding right. It helps that the Bournemouth Marriott occupies one of the best clifftop spots in town, with big windows overlooking the full sweep of the bay. A spa, fitness centre and pool round out the picture. The hotel offers silver, gold and platinum wedding packages ranging from £59pp to £81pp. These include a Wedding Coordinator, Champagne reception, Master of Ceremonies, three-course Wedding breakfast, evening finger buffet, and canapes, among others. Couples are invited to get creative, but sample menus include smoked chicken and garlic terrine for starter, slow roast pork belly or braised blade of beef for main, and sticky toffee pudding or dark chocolate mousse for dessert. Solidly indulgent stuff for all palates. Afterwards, there’s a renowned cocktail bar to kick back in, and 160 guest rooms available to keep everyone in one place. 30 Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel 105 St. Michael’s Road, West Cliff, Bournemouth, BH2 5DU 01202 200845 BournemouthHighcliffMarriott.co.uk { www.menu-dorset.co.uk
