- MMr & Mrs M01/11/2018Fantastic venue with a quirky difference Fantastic venue with a quirky differenceWe didn't want a traditional wedding, so we chose to have our ceremony and reception in an old Bank vault. Decorated so that it was light and airy, and a perfect setting for an intimate wedding. The vault bars/doors was a great photo prop setting and the staircase also provided a great backdrop. We also had exclusive use of the Gold Bar for arrival drinks between the ceremony & reception. The bridal suite was fabulous. Food delicious, and service excellent. The wedding coordinator couldn't do more for us. And best of all the package was excellent value and highly competitive, and included complimentary 12 month spa membership for us both, plus an anniversary stay in any if the Harbour Hotels up to the value of £500. All our guests said how unusual and beautiful it was to have such an intimate celebration in such a stunning building.
