Wedding Spaces

 

On the evening of your special day, the SS Great Britain and all her wonderful rooms are open for you and your guests to enjoy – all to yourselves.

 

Promenade Deck

The Promenade Deck is the picture-perfect location for your wedding ceremony. This intimate space transforms into a romantic aisle lined with honey-toned timber panels and beautiful mirrors. With friends and family gathered around you, vows are exchanged below a glass skylight which floods the space with soft light.

Enjoy a Champagne reception either on the Promenade Deck or head up to the Weather Deck which boasts one of the region’s most striking views.

 

First Class Dining Saloon

A sumptuous dining room for you and your guests to enjoy delicious food, fine wines and Champagne. Here you will be enchanted by the best in early Victorian design, with marble pillars, Rococo mirrors and candle lamps. Every need is catered for by the ship’s discreetly hidden technology, which includes flexible air-cooling and a PA system for speeches.

 

Hayward Saloon

A versatile space, next to the First Class Dining Saloon, the Hayward Saloon has its own bar and dance floor. Whether rounding off the evening with a disco or a band, this space will work for you.
