Margate

WEDDINGS BY THE SEA

Say I do, overlooking the big blue!

Weddings at No. 42 Margate - your seaside wedding dreams can come true - take over Pearly Cow for the day, or go all-out with a whole-house takeover.

Our regency townhouse has been lovingly transformed into a seriously chic destination on the Margate riviera, ready to host up to 45 guests for a wonder-filled wedding day (or longer!).

Weddings at No. 42 Margate are truly something to behold...read on and enquire below.

Seaside-splendour

Get swept away with your wedding day at No. 42 Margate. Say 'I do' overlooking the big blue, experience the wild freshness of Pearly Cow's wedding menus, and make yourself at home with a whole-house takeover, with room for 42 guests to stay the night.

Exclusive Use

There is nothing quite like having the whole place to yourself - make yourself at home!

You're calling the shots - it's all up to you, with no off-the-shelf packages in sight - that's a relief. Take all 21 rooms for a set price (and if you want to pass on the costs to guests, that's cool too), and then depending on the time of year & day of week, we have varying minimum spends. If you want to keep your belt a little tighter, go for a winter wedding by the sea in the week - if you're happy to splurge a little, take a look at our sunny summer prices.

  • 21 Bedrooms, sleeping up to 42 guests, including breakfast
  • Sit-down dining for up to 45 guests for your wedding breakfast
  • Space to party for up to 100 guests

Available with a minimum total spend (including your accommodation fee and £5,600 towards food & drink) from £12,000.

Day-Use Weddings

Get swept away for the day, with hire of Pearly Cow from 12pm until 5.30pm. Gather your nearest & dearest at Pearly Cow for a day of sublime cuisine overlooking the coast, for a truly memorable wedding breakfast in Margate. In the summer months, you can enjoy your reception drinks on the Pearly Cow terrace, or if you have up to 20 guests, you could even have your wedding breakfast fully al fresco!

  • Private hire of Pearly Cow from 12pm until 5.30pm
  • Use of the Pearly Cow terrace from April - September (weather allowing)
  • Al fresco dining available for up to 20 guests, April - September (with the inside of Pearly Cow perfect for reception drinks instead)

Available from £3,345 including hire of Pearly Cow and a minimum food & beverage spend from £2,850.

Because Margs is a-rockin' in the summer months, Saturday weddings in the summer need to plump for the full exclusive-use option, covering both Friday & Saturday - for the ultimate experience in the sunshine (without the airfare!).

New Year's Eve Exclusive Use

Why not take the whole hotel for yourself on the biggest night of the year and party the night away with your favourite people?  Take all 21 rooms (if you want to pass on the costs to guests, we can help sort that), the Lounge and of course Pearly Cow. 

  • 21 Bedrooms, sleeping up to 42 guests including breakfast.
  • Your wedding breakfast for up to 45 guests
  • Space to party for up to 100 guests

Our exclusive use fee for New Year's Eve covers all areas of the hotel including all 21 bedrooms and breakfast for up to 42 guests - £10,500
A minimum spend of £9,450 is required on food & drink

Kind Words From Our Newlyweds
Allie & Chewy - March 2025
"We had the best day ever - Margate certainly delivered!! There were so many special moments but some of the best were..."

a) the look on our guests' faces when they saw the bounty of oysters on offer downstairs at the Oyster Bar, which was only trumped by

b) the look on our guests' faces as they came up the stairs and saw the beauty of the main dining room and balcony at the Pearly Cow.

At breakfast the following morning, one of our guests said that the Pearly Cow had the type of glamour that The Ivy always attempted to achieve back in the day but never quite did. 

And then on to the food - the oysters were exquisite (my brother-in-law ate 5 - he clearly ignored the "family hold back" memo!), one of our guests from San Francisco said she "had an emotional connection" to the beef fat chips. I could have scoffed all the vegetable sides (both the cabbage and the broccoli) alongside the beautiful piece of cod had I not been full of adrenaline. It really was a fabulous meal.

And then on to the staff - they did their work so perfectly that I didn't even notice them - the ultimate compliment! We did return the next day to check whether we had accidentally left anything, and the staff were again wonderful and a joy to chat to.

And finally, Aimee - thank you so much. From printing (and part designing!) the table plan and table names. When I asked for something to be done (like switching which table was Raphael and which was Leonardo) it would just happen - no need to double check! You removed a lot of stress from what could be a slightly stressful experience. Also thank you for insisting we sat down at the right time for starters - it was definitely the right decision.

Sam & Naomi - June 2025
"It was an incredibly special weekend and one that we will remember for a very long time"

Me and Naomi wanted to say a big thank you for all of your work getting the event ready. It was an incredibly special weekend and one that we will remember for a very long time.

Thank you so much for an amazing weekend! It was without a doubt the best weekend of both of our lives so far and you were a massive part of making that happen. I hope you have many more successful weddings and events in the future! 

All of your staff were amazing and went above and beyond for us on the night, making the effort to make it extra special. All of our guests were extremely positive about the venue, the food, the rooms, the drinks and the service. 

Tara & Jack - August 2025
"It was honestly even better than we could have ever imagined! No one wanted to leave the hotel!"

It really makes such a difference the people who are hosting and having hosts who care so much, and you guys made it so much more magical! Every single person! I think we chatted to everyone, and you have such a wicked team there! But of course, especially you for being an absolute weapon! You made it all so fun and easy, and we’re so grateful!!!!

You guys are all the best and wouldn’t have been the same without all of you!

Gaby & Morgan - September 2025
"It was just great – all round"

It was just great – all round – and we really appreciate everything that you and the rest of the staff at No. 42 did to help coordinate it all and make sure everything ran smoothly on the day, whilst also bringing the party on the night!

Tanz & Ede - June 2025
"Just wanna say such a big thank you for everything, you smashed it everyone saying it’s their best wedding!"

Where will this half-term take you?

From exploring the Railway Museum to York’s Chocolate history, there’s plenty in York to entertain young visitors. Mini historians will be busy at the @JorvikViking Centre and @YorkCastleMuseum and there’s fun for the whole family with @wizardwalkofyork tours, particularly for Harry Potter fans! 🪄

And when all that running around has caught up with the little ones, return to ours for a quiet night in. Parents, we’ll have @yotoplay players on hand for bedtime story duty 😉
