Louisiana, New York, Swanage and beyond. It's a total pipe dream for us to think we could ever get everyone we love and care about in one place for one day but we're so excited at the prospect of trying.

We have the hotel where the wedding and reception will take place, The Grand Hotel, Swanage, reserved for our wedding guests only and we'd love you to join us in staying there if you're able to and it aligns with your plans and needs.

It's a lovely Victorian seaside hotel with steps down to the beach.

To book a room at The Grand, please call the hotel directly as part of the Megan and Rick wedding group. There are 30 rooms and, like many of the accommodations in the area in the summer, they do require two night stays. First come first served so please book ASAP and booking is now open.

The Grand Hotel, Swanage:

+44 1929 423353

Please call reception, say you're part of the Megan and Rick wedding. Opening hours for calling are...

From UK: 7am-10pm

From US: 2am ET to 5PM ET

Of course, please do also go with the accommodation that fits you best.

Other nearby options include The Pines Hotel or The Castleton B&B (fun fact- Rick's family used to run the latter and Rick spent a year while studying for his masters living in whatever guest room was spare that night or sleeping on his brother's floor!).

Swanage is a small place so if staying nearer the town center, it should be just a leisurely 15 or 20 minute walk along the seafront or a short taxi to The Grand.
