The British Airways i360 Viewing Tower, along with its spacious beach- side event rooms, offers a wonderful backdrop for your vows and photographs. The glass viewing pod is ten times the size of a London Eye capsule and travels from ground to 450ft, offering uninterrupted 360-degree views of Brighton, the South Downs and the beautiful Sussex coastline.

The South Coast’s highest bar, The Nyetimber Sky Bar, is one of the most exclusive venues in the city and offers an unforgettable location for your guests to toast your union with a glass of this award-winning local sparkling wine in hand. The pod can accommodate up to 175 people standing or 60 seated theatre-style.

After a ceremony in the sky, inspire your guests further with the venue’s event rooms: Attenborough, Birch and Constable. The flexible spaces are open to private beachfront terraces offering stunning views of the sea and the West Pier. All rooms have natural daylight, audio-visual facilities and views of the sea, the beach and the historical West Pier. They can hold between 100 to 480 loved ones. Alternatively, you can host an intimate reception in the reconstructed 1866 West Pier toll booth, which also has a private sea-facing terrace for 20 wedding breakfast and 40 evening guests. And, whether you’re looking for a formal banquet or a sumptuous beach barbecue, the venue’s chefs will create your menu according to your personal taste using the finest seasonal ingredients, many of which are sourced from the South Downs region.

To understand why, the bed experts also asked survey respondents what their reasoning was behind this. They also provided additional insight on the idea of the "wedding night" from Relationship Expert, Jenni Trent Hughes. The findings show that exhaustion was by far the most common factor, with more than two in five (44%) of couples saying they were simply too tired after the celebrations.
