Cliffs Pavilion

About Southend Cliffs Pavilion

Cliffs Pavilion in Southend-on-Sea offers couples the option to hold both their wedding ceremony and reception under one roof. Dedicated wedding planners work with couples from the day they book through to departure for their honeymoon, supporting coordination and logistics throughout the day.

The venue’s flexible spaces range from the Maritime Room, which includes views across the Thames Estuary, to the main auditorium that can seat 600 or more people for a ceremony followed by a seated three-course dinner. Couples can choose from predefined packages or work with planners to tailor elements of their day.

The Pavilion itself sits above Southend’s cliffs and can accommodate events of varied sizes. Reception and ceremony arrangements are available for intimate gatherings or larger celebrations, with planners advising on flow, timings and practical arrangements. Support from the venue team continues on the day, ensuring that transitions between ceremony and reception run smoothly. Evening celebrations can also take place within the same spaces. Couples who want a bespoke approach to their day can work directly with the Pavilion’s planners to shape timings, room use, catering options and guest arrangements.
