A Relaxed town and beach combo wedding…

The Guildhall in Rochester & Minnis Bay Beachfront

Lauren & Josh’s Wedding was a mix of history and beach fun! These two celebrated in their own way, choosing the historic charm of The Guildhall for the ceremony and wrapping up the day with a relaxed, beachside reception at The Minnis Bay Bar.

They chose Rochester’s Guildhall for their ceremony, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. With its historic character and unique charm, the Guildhall provided a gorgeous backdrop that felt both cozy and classic. The ceremony was filled with warmth as their family and close friends gathered to watch them say “I do.”

The Minnis Bay

After the official part of the day, they headed to The Minnis Bay Bar. The Minnis Bay is located right on the Kent coast in the heart of Minnis Bay. The beachfront location brought a completely different vibe—laid-back, open, and fun and The Minnis Bay hosts a purpose-built first-floor function room which has fantastic panoramic views of the beautiful coastline. The view and the beach atmosphere, created the perfect setting for a celebration that felt just right for Lauren and Josh.

The Wedding Day Vibe

Lauren and Josh’s wedding was a day of laughter, love, and relaxed celebration. The Guildhall set the scene for a meaningful ceremony, where everyone gathered close to witness this heartfelt moment which they also shared with their children.

Then, at Minnis Bay, the reception was exactly what they’d hoped for—friends and family catching up, kids playing, grown ups playing and everyone enjoying good food and drinks. There was no formal sit-down dinner; instead, guests were treated to a buffet of delicious, beachy bites, perfect for the relaxed vibe they were after.
