- JJen & James08/01/2018We cannot recommend them enough!We cannot recommend them enough!On arrival at our wedding enquiry meeting at The Captain's Club we weren't quite sure what to expect. We knew the venue was stunning from previous dinner visits but when it comes to picking a wedding venue it's a whole different ball game.

A luxury venue with a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, the highest quality food and drinks at a really competitive rate. Everything we could possibly need, arranged under one roof by a team of experts. During the planning, on the day and afterwards nothing was too much trouble for Cheryl and the team. Our guests couldn't have been more complimentary about our special day and that's all thanks to The Captain's Club. We cannot recommend them enough - thanks guys!
