Venue Hire at The Wellington Hotel
A Beautiful Setting for Life’s Special Occasions
At The Wellington Hotel, we believe every gathering deserves a memorable setting. Perched above the coastline in Ventnor, our hotel offers spectacular views across Ventnor Bay and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere for a wide range of private events and celebrations.
Whether you’re marking a birthday, anniversary, christening, baby shower, bridal shower, family or group reunion, graduation, wake or celebration of life, our team can help you create an occasion that feels personal and meaningful.
We also welcome corporate gatherings and other private events, with flexible options to suit different occasions, group sizes and styles of celebration.
Our Event Spaces
Sea View Indoor Restaurant
Our indoor restaurant provides a warm and welcoming setting with beautiful views across the English Channel. With characterful interiors and a cosy log fire, it’s an ideal space for intimate gatherings, family occasions and celebrations where guests can relax and enjoy each other’s company.
Panoramic Terrace
When the weather allows, our terrace offers a spectacular outdoor setting overlooking Ventnor Bay. Enjoy the sunshine, fresh sea air and stunning coastal views, with our DJ booth available for celebrations where music and entertainment are part of the occasion.
Flexible Dining & Celebrations
We can offer a choice of relaxed dining styles depending on your event and requirements, including buffet-style dining, afternoon tea and BBQ options.
For larger gatherings, our maximum capacity is 100 guests when a relaxed, informal and unseated dining style is selected. This format works particularly well for occasions where guests want to mingle, move around and enjoy a more informal atmosphere.
For formal, seated dining, a smaller guest list is recommended. Our venue is particularly well suited to micro and mini events, where the atmosphere can remain intimate and guests can enjoy a more personal experience.
Our team will be happy to discuss your preferred dining style, guest numbers and requirements and advise on the most suitable arrangement for your occasion.
A Personal Approach
We understand that every event is different. Whether you’re planning a joyful celebration, bringing family together or gathering to remember someone special, we’ll work with you to make the arrangements as straightforward as possible.
From choosing your space and dining style to discussing timings and the finer details, our team is here to help create an event that feels right for you and your guests.
