We provide much more than just the hire of a venue as you will be supported by an experienced wedding planner who will provide an exceptional service to assist with all your needs in planning your special day. All weddings include the option of a free tour for guests to keep people busy during any quiet moments. Want to make your day personal to your tastes? With us you can cater the drinks available at the bar to your own taste - like a particular wine or beer, just let us know and we will get it in stock. Our experienced team have strong personal contacts with other wedding services such as caterers and DJs who they have worked with before and will be happy to pass on recommendations. Our location is only two minutes away from the registry so either hold your entire wedding with us or just the reception and cater the day exactly to your preference. For even more convenience we have a car park on site and are just two minutes away from Portsmouth Harbour Train Station, The Hard Bus Interchange, The Historic Dockyard and Gunwharf Quays and more importantly just two minutes away from the Sea!
