Weddings in Porthcawl at The Hi Tide

Our full wedding package is £4,500. That covers the ceremony, room hire for the day, drinks on arrival, a three-course meal for 60 daytime guests, a customised display cake, an evening buffet for 100, and a resident DJ. Optional extras (wine, sparkling toast, chair covers, décor) are charged separately.

Yes. The Hi Tide is fully licensed for civil ceremonies, so you can get married, eat, drink and party all under one roof. No taxis, no two-venue logistics, no time lost between locations.

Our package is built around 60 daytime guests for the ceremony and meal, scaling up to 100 in the evening. We can talk through smaller or larger numbers. Get in touch and we'll find the right room and configuration.

Yes. Our resident DJ is included in the package and plays a wide selection across all tastes and ages, from first-dance classics to fill-the-floor party tracks. You're welcome to share a must-play list ahead of the day.

We aim to accommodate all dietary requirements: gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan and others. Tell us at the time of booking. Our kitchen handles a range of ingredients, so guests with severe allergies should also speak with our staff on the day.

The bride and groom contact Bridgend Registry Office directly on 01656 642391 to arrange the timing and date of the ceremony at The Hi Tide. Once the registrar has agreed the date, get back in touch with us to confirm.

Yes, that's one of the best things about getting married here. Sandy Bay and the Porthcawl seafront are a few steps from the venue, so you can drift out for couple shots, family photos or golden-hour portraits without losing your guests.

The Hi Tide sits on the Porthcawl seafront with several hotels, B&Bs and our own touring pitches within walking distance. We're happy to share recommendations once your date is confirmed.

Yes. We have parking on site and there is additional public parking nearby on the seafront. We'll send full directions and parking guidance with your booking confirmation.

Absolutely. Most couples like to see the rooms, walk the seafront and chat through the day in person. Call 01656 782432 or use the contact form to arrange a viewing.

You choose six dishes from a list of 22, including sandwiches, pasties, hot & spicy chicken, halloumi sticks, sweet potato falafel, fish goujons and plenty of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. See the full list above.

Yes. The £4,500 covers the core day. Add chair covers and sashes (£4 pp), wine with the meal (£4.80 pp), a sparkling toast (£5 pp), an evening cocktail on arrival (£7 pp), themed centrepieces (£100) or cheese boards (£4 pp) to suit your style and budget.

Summer Saturdays book up first, so we'd recommend getting in touch as soon as you have a date in mind. Off-peak weekdays and winter dates often have more flexibility.
