What can we say… there are honestly no words to describe how amazing our experience was with you guys. From start to finish, everything ran smoothly and went beautifully. Every single member is staff we came into contact with was so pleasant, polite and welcoming and nothing was ever too much trouble. Thanks to you Amy for having such great communication and patience with us through out and during our special day, nothing was too much to ask and you made the day look so effortless and easy. A special mention to Greame, Phillip and James too, they were all amazing. We’ve had fabulous feedback from all of our guests too. The most perfect place we could have chosen, all we have spoken about over the past few days is how happy we are that we chose the Marine, it will always be close to our hearts. We can’t wait to come back for our 1 year anniversary stay and will certainly be coming for a drink every time we are up in North Berwick.

Tony and I wanted to say how very much we enjoyed our Special Day at The Marine.

Our wedding was a huge success in every respect and was the happiest day of our lives. The guidance and support Amy gave throughout the organisation of our wedding was wonderful and gave us the confidence that all would go well. We were delighted at how easy it seemed to arrange with Amy all the things we needed for our ceremony, vegan meal and disco. Having the ceremony outside was exactly as we imagined it and Amy made that happen with no fuss or stress so we could, and did, enjoy every minute.

Everyone was hugely impressed with the beautiful hotel facilities, the friendly and professional staff, the fabulous vegan meal and the whole ambience throughout. So thank you again for making our Wedding at The Marine such a memorable day for all of us.

Our original wedding plans were disrupted (like many others) by the pandemic. We had booked a large gathering with a different venue, that would not have been feasible, and like many others postponed. As our original wedding day drew nearer we decided that we wanted to get married regardless, with just the two of us and legal witnesses.

We chose North Berwick as it is a place with special meaning to us, closer to home, and undeniably beautiful. Working with Amy from start to finish was an absolute delight. Her communications by email prior to our tour and after were prompt and clear. On site during our tour we were shown the large wedding suite along with the smaller rooms usually reserved for board meetings and dinners. We selected the library for our ceremony and the front room for a quiet dinner afterwards.

It felt special to be the smallest wedding the Marine Hotel had hosted, and I can confidently say that they should start hosting micro-weddings more often. I could not have felt more like a bride, the staff were so accommodating. We brought some decorations ourselves and I was amazed at how the room was transformed. Everyone went out of their way to make our day special. I even forgot to pack my toothbrush the night before and the wonderful reception staff helped me out.

That's not all. The food was simply amazing. I cannot describe how delicious it was, and the timing made us feel like we had a private kitchen just for us. The menu was customised by combining some ideas they had on their standard menu and some of our favourites. Accomidating gluten free was also no issue. The battered fish and chips were so yum that you couldn't tell they were gluten free. They even prepared special cocktails for us after we got in from the cold (we were married in October, so it was a bit chilly).

The setting is absolutely beautiful, we had a photographer come along to capture the day and the pictures turned out amazing. In the late evening it was very quiet and we ventured out onto the lawn with some sparklers to end the night (with permission from the very delightful front desk staff of course).
It wasn't the wedding we originally planned but, the team at the Marine Hotel could not have done anything more to make it any better. Our rescheduled large reception event venue has alot to live up to for when we are allowed to celebrate with everyone together. We were beyond pleased at our experience and if you are considering booking with them definitely get the Bridal Suite with your package for getting ready. I cannot explain how amazing it was - all I'll say is you will not regret it. We extended our stay for an extra night and we are already planning a stay for our first anniversary.

Thanks again for a fantastic day.
