Patient and extremely helpful

I was responsible for planning my sis in laws hen weekend and eventually decided on brighton. Google popped up My Big Fat Brighton Weekend and I thought fantastic a compnay based in Brighton that specialises in this sort of thing. There was a group of 6-8 ladies and we stayed in rental accomodation (Beachdown House) provided by Brighton Holiday Homes. The house was great, centrally located and enough room for all of us. The price for the house was much cheaper than staying in a hotel and our party planner organised two activities that we could do at home. We arrived Friday and getting the key was so easy! We then did Cocktail making at Bar 76 I specified that I wanted to go here and BFBW were very accomodating in booking this for us. Saturday was spent on Brighton Pier and we then did seduction lessons which is a new activity that they offer. The company that did this were very good, they came to the house we rented and made everyone feel really comfortable, def very educational everything it says on the ...tin. We then booked a bare bum butler to serve up our getting ready refreshments and help us with the games we had planned for the Hen. I was worried the entire weekend that we would get someone not good looking but we didn't need to worry :p Other Hen companies tried to put me off booking through BFBW but they were able to offer me more competitive pricing and were more than willing to put up with my constant emails changing my mind and giving me extra help and guidance in booking clubs and bars. I would def recommend for a Hen weekend or a girlie weekend, really helpful and very attentive.

Best Hen Weekend - confirmed by 20 ladies!

We were so excited about seeing the apartment after having a look at all the fab pictures online, and no way did it disappoint when we arrived! The amazing kitchen with enormous table ensuring that everyone could eat together and all mod cons to make sure we didnt waste time washing up when we should have been partying! All the bedrooms had their own lovely little quirk with beautiful original features and lovely comfortable beds. The bathrooms all had their own little quirk, with everyone loving the deep bath in one, and the 'Penthouse suite' shower (as we called it!) - and of course the amazing shower and sauna under the kitchen! The lounge again was a great space for entertaining with all the facilities needed and ensured that everyone relaxed straight away as it felt so much like home.
The Saturday of the hen weekend we spent doing a treasure hunt around Brighton town centre, as is typical of our British weather, it rained pretty much all day, and we were all so pleased that the apartment was just a stones throw from the beach and the lanes, so we could make a quick dash back.
We had some wristbands and vouchers waiting for us when we arrived on the Friday to use on the Saturday night, and although we didnt use them all we did get to go to Oxygen bar, which was one road away from Apartment and just across the road from Oceana, where we had free entry. We all had a fab night, and was so nice to just kick off the high heels when we got in and just sit in our pyjamas in the living room altogether looking back at pictures from the weekend on the massive TV.
The rest of the weekend we enjoyed the better weather by going to the pier and having a bit of a shop and then chilling out back at the apartment and enjoying the view from the top floor terrace.
We got so much positive feedback from everyone that came to the hen weekend to find out about staying in the apartment and others in future and was very sad to shut the door on the Monday morning!

Awesome weekend from start to finish!!

Just arrived home from the best weekend i've had in a long time. Emma and Clare from MyBigFatBrightonWeekend were fantastic all the way through the booking process!! They answered any queries i had promptly and were always happy to offer advice. They found me the perfect house for my best friend's hen party. The house was gorgeous and had everything we needed.

They advised on parking which potentially could have been a nightmare!! We drove down and parked in the Londonroad multi storey carpark for approx 48hours at a really good price of 27 pounds. We didn'tneed the car at all for the entire weekend. Streamline taxis were reasonably priced and arrived within minutes.

We had the she who dares package and the accommodation included which was extremely good value for money. Upon arriving early we were accommodated with early let in to the house via a very convenient key box which meant we could come and go at our leisure.

The first evening started with The ghost walk, the gentleman who took us on the ghost walk was very entertaining and made the girls laugh. He included an entertaining account of the ghosts and ghouls of Brighton and we even had the opportunity to enjoy a fisherman's friend shot at a local popular hotspot. This was a nice change from the typical hen party activities and we all thoroughly enjoyed it! After this we visited some of the local bars and had a boogy in the Black lion.

The second day was spent enjoying Brighton's beach resort and the pier. There are somany shops,cafes,bars and restaurants for every taste and generally we found every where we went that people were extremely polite and approachable.

We had the evening meal at Fat Leo's which we enjoyed, if you're looking for a relaxed formal meal though this probably isn't the best venue. The restaurant is lively, the staff are friendly and the food is great and our food arrived extremely fast which meant we were probably only in Fat leo's for an hour and a half, 2 course meal and cake included. Though this meant we were out and ready to party. We loved the venues for the free drinks vouchers :) and The Shoosh club was brilliant!!! The music was nostalgic, the drinks reasonably priced and the DJ was awesome! He played all our requests :D.

I can'trate this weekend highly enough!! We allhad such a great weekend and i got amazing feedback from the girls!! Thanks Emma and Clare - MyBigFatBrightonWeekend and thanks Brighton holiday homes!!! We will definately be making a return trip to Brighton!! You represented it so well!!

Fantastic

I was really impressed with the girls at My Big Fat Brighton Weekend. They did a fantastic job of organising the stag do for us. They were helpful and always got back to me very quickly with any questions I had. I would definitely recomend to use them. It was no hassle at all. The hotel was great, the bars and drinks offers were also good, paint balling was a good laugh and the curry was spot on. The only downside was the weather being bad, but they can't help that. Thanks again

A great weekend!

The bride to be was very happy and the whole weekend was seamless allowing us all to relax. We loved the house itself and would all go back there in a second and the crafts workshop was a really nice, different thing to do together. The fact that it was in the house itself, was a really nice add on, making it much easier, especially after partying the night before.
The meal was great and in an ideal location and the drinks deals very welcome! We enjoyed the club atmosphere and I think every member of the group would give the whole weekend a big fat 10 out of 10!

Great, modern apartment. Everything as described, we really didn't want to leave!

We stayed in the Hamptons for my best mate's hen do for a weekend in March. We were very impressed with the spacious apartment which was fully equipped with everything we needed. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable. We had made ourselves at home by the end of the first evening. The location of the property was superb, as there were countless shops, restaurants, supermarkets within less than a 5 minute walk. The company also offered us a bar crawl deal, which allowed us to follow a pre-planned bar crawl. We are glad we chose this option as we had no prior knowledge of where was good on a night out! We would love to go back!

Beautiful apartment and great location

The Lighthouse was spacious, comfy and the livingroom as stunning as the photographs. Beds were comfy and the location is great, there are cafes in every direction, which is perfect for breakfast. Only thing which could have been there and wasn't was some basics, tea/coffee/sugar/olive oil. It meant we had to buy everything in and couldn't use it all in the couple of days stay. All in all it's a great place.

Fantastic girlie weekend

What a great weekend - booked a fab holiday home (Beatnik Stables) for a group of us - the house itself was lovely with a quirky layout - could have done with some more mirrors as we were a large group of girls but we made do ! Friday night we went for a cocktail making master class at Revolutions which was brilliant, so much fun and really good value with food and loads of alcohol included in the price ! Saturday morning was spent shopping and we all loved the uniqueness of the Laines - we had lunch at Jamies Oliver's Italian which promised a great deal but undelivered on service unfortunately. The food was okay but I have to say I expected more from a celebrity chef's restaurant. On Saturday night we had a few drinks at home and then ended up in Madame Geisha which was a really cool club with great music and atmostphere - drinks were reasonably priced as well, the only let down was lack of seating which as one of our party was pregnant was a bit of a pain. On the whole it was a fantastic weekend and I would recommend this company to anyone.

Absolutely brilliant

I used 'big fat brighton weekend' when organising a hen do for one of my best friends. I'd done a lot of research on the internet about places to go and see. Whilst searching for accommodation I came across their website and emailed for information. I received an almost instantaneous reply with a few options of available properties. (there were 16 of us). It was plain sailing from then on in. I called and spoke to very friendly, efficient members of their team. I was able to set up a payment plan that suited me. I received clear information about where the payments were up to without them hassling me or pressurising me for further payments and whenever we had questions about other activities they were a brilliant source of information, willing to help at any time. I was really impressed. The house itself at the weekend was exactly what we needed. We also took the basic bundle for the saturday night-fab.

I definitely will be coming back to Brighton soon for the next one!

We've just got back from a fab weekend in Brighton. We stayed in the Lighthouse for 2 nights and luckily, the weather was good too which was a bonus.

The Bare Bum Butler was the highlight - we kept this is a complete secret from the bride who was properly embarrassed at the start (but then she loved it). We also had the buffet which was delicious and much needed after lengthy train journeys all round. I'd definitely recommend doing this on the Friday as we were all really tired after travelling.

We had some problems with the hot water on the Saturday night which was a worry as you can imagine with 17 girls all getting ready for a night out! Was really impressed though as somebody came out straight away after we rang the office so our getting ready routine wasn't affected, thank god!

Sat night was great and we hit the bars and Oceana - which didn't fail to disappoint. I definitely will be coming back to Brighton soon for the next one!

If you are thinking of visiting Brighton whether it is for a hen/stag or general visit I would strongly recommend you call these guys. They are awesome!

I was looking for high spec, good quality and value for money on self catering properties when I came across My Big Fat Brighton Weekend.
Not living in the area meant I needed someone I could trust to ensure my sister had a weekend to remember in top quality style.
After speaking with the team at My Big Fat Brighton Weekend they installed confidence and assurance in providing exactly I needed and more.
They delivered on what was promised in terms of budgetary requirements but also responsiveness.
The apartment we stayed in (Pavillion house) was pimp, chic and such a cool place to stay. Centrally located with access to everything.
The team are a pleasure to work with and are all very personable.
All round they were supportive and flexible every step of the way, even after the event. (not like some businesses I have dealt with in the past who once have got your money do not follow up with you)
Claire and Emma in the party department at My Big Fat Brighton Weekend are 2 cool chicks and they know how to make sure you have a fun night to remember;)
If you are thinking of visiting Brighton whether it is for a hen/stag or general visit I would strongly recommend you call these guys. They are awesome!
