A beautiful celebration for Evie in the Seaton Suite. 🎀

We loved seeing our new Roker Events space transformed for this special occasion by Magic Moment Wedding & Eventz — soft blush pinks, statement florals, oversized bows and some seriously beautiful details throughout.

The Seaton Suite was designed to give you room to make an event your own. A bright, contemporary main space, its own bar and a spacious reception area all come together under one roof, with the flexibility to work for celebrations, private dinners, conferences and larger events.

And this is exactly what we mean when we say the room can completely change depending on what you bring to it.

Planning something of your own? Come and see the Seaton Suite for yourself. Get in touch with our Events team to arrange a viewing or talk through what you have in mind.

Styled by Magic Moment Wedding & Eventz — and what a transformation. 🤍

Our Ballroom was looking incredible this weekend for Chel­sie & Ali’s wedding, with statement florals, soft sage details and candlelight completely transforming the room.

It’s a brilliant example of just how much personality the Ballroom can take on. Elegant and romantic here, but with the scale and flexibility to create something entirely different for the next celebration.

And the Ballroom is only part of what we can offer at Roker Hotel. With a choice of event spaces across the hotel, we can accommodate everything from larger celebrations to more intimate occasions — with food, drinks and accommodation all under one roof.

We have limited wedding dates remaining for this year, with some availability still remaining for next year too. If you're looking for a venue, come and see what Roker Hotel has to offer, from the Ballroom to our other event spaces, with food, drinks and accommodation all under one roof, get in touch with our Events Team to arrange a viewing.

Congratulations to Chel­sie & Ali, and huge credit to for the beautiful styling and for allowing us to share these images.
