      The whole package!
      As other plans had fallen through (due to ash clouds), the SS Great Britain and its amazing team were the perfect choice! We wanted something a little unusual and we got it and much, much more. Everything ran so smoothly from the very first contact right through to the big day. There was never a time when we had to worry about anything. An wonderful team gave the highest level of service putting a very stressed couple at complete ease. The ceremony on the promenade deck was full of character and allowed our small party (40) to feel very intimate. The ship as a whole was a perfect venue for us as the whole family; young and old, had a wonderful time exploring. The SS Great Britain gives you everything you could want from a venue, including amazing food and refreshments but the service of the staff really makes it stand out from the rest. Staff were extremely helpful from the off set, guiding us throughout the whole process; before hand- guiding us to what we should be doing when, assisting us with food and drink choices, during the day stealing us away for the opportunity for fabulous photos, giving my new husband and I time together! Our guests had a marvelous time and all have commented on the wonderful venue. The whole package, (venue, food and especially staff) far surpassed all of our expectations!!!

      Truly memorable with a huge sense of occasion.
      Everything was perfect; the staff were fantastically friendly, the food was delicious and the Ship was a beautiful backdrop for all our photos. Would recommend it without hesitation.

      Our wedding on the SS Great Britain was perfect.
      We chose to have our wedding on the SS Great Britain on 20th march 2010, as we wanted something a little different. The promenade deck where the ceremony took place is extremely atmospheric and accommodated our 120 guests comfortably. We only spent a short time on the deck due to the weather but it didn't spoil our day in any way. The first class dining saloon is incredibly grand, the tables were beautifully laid and the food outstanding. The staff were all very friendly, professional and courteous, and ensured our day ran smoothly throughout. Our guests had a fabulous time and many have commented on the wonderful venue. We look forward to returning to the SS Great Britain to relive our special day. If only we could do it all over again!
