    Couldn’t even book!

    When we went to view this venue, we fell in love with it. We had a lovely chat with one of the team, explained dates, what we wanted and we left with all intentions of booking.
    However it has been 8 weeks since we went and they cannot give us an idea of when we can book! We gave our date, gave alternative dates, tried to see if we could book Friday instead of Saturday.
    While I understand they are a yacht club and that comes first for them, it was very disappointing. Especially when it would take up to a week to hear from them, just to hear them say we have no idea still when you could book in!

    Absolutely Amazing

    Zoe and her team were amazing. Nothing was too much of an ask. They helped so much through the planning. The tasting menu was great! A lot of food!! Then when it got to the day every member of staff helped made me feel relaxed and calm. It all ran to plan and we had the most amazing day in a beautiful venue.

    A hidden gem

    I could not recommend The Royal Southern Yacht club more. The venue itself is beautiful, not only the gorgeous backdrop of the River Hamble, but fabulous spaces for ceremony (whether you want it inside or outside), dinning and evening party.

    I could not fault the amazing staff once. Zoe and the events team were so accommodating and well organised. In fact, I work in corporate events and was worried I would go into work mode on the day, but I had so much confidence in Zoe that I didn't stress once as I knew everything was in hand. Equally the catering staff were so professional and helpful and every member of staff we came into contact was just lovely.

    The food was delicious, the addition of accommodation of site was so useful and the price, in my opinion, was an amazing deal.

    I could honestly go on forever about all the positives of this venue - thank you Royal Southern Yacht Club for creating the perfect wedding day for us.

    outstanding

    The team at the Royal Southern Yacht Club were fantastic from start to finish. They took the time to get to know us and where always quick to answer our questions and extremely helpful with all our queries. When we had to postpone due to Covid they were understanding, flexible and accommodating which made postponing much easier. They looked after us so amazingly well. As we got closer to the wedding they were fabulous, getting the day sorted as we had envisaged and the day run so smoothly and so perfectly. Beyond what we had hoped for. The team were amazing, so helpful and on the day just brilliant with ensuring all went well and the guests were looked after. They all commented on it. The venue itself is beautiful, we got married outside with the river behind us and then we had drinks and music out on the patio ahead of our wedding breakfast. Food was amazing, venue gorgeous, team fabulous. We had the best day ever! Outstanding

    Beautiful wedding ceremony with a lovely sea breeze

    Becky, Zoe and the whole team at the Royal Southern Yacht Club were amazing at organising and holding our wedding ceremony just as the lock down rules were lifted on weddings. The team streamed the wedding to our loved ones in Sweden and Spain which was so important to us. The upper deck is gorgeous for a ceremony with an amazing view of the river Hamble, the Solent and the sail boats. After the ceremony we had bubbles on the balcony and enjoyed being together with our guests. No one wanted to leave when we headed off. It felt very open, airy and friendly and the light from the sea makes for lovely pictures. (Pictures by Matt Parry Photography)

    A delight to be with

    My sons wedding to our now daughter in law, Oliver and Samantha, was an exceptional event due to the work by your staff and self on Friday,Saturday and Sunday morning. The room was a delight when guests walked in, and during the setting up on Friday nothing was too much effort. Your management team were a delight to be with, helpful in every way.

    The catering on Saturday was of a very high standard, and the comments from many many guests was of delight at such fine food from a private members establishment not a commercial restaurant. The competitors in your local have a great deal of work to do to catch up!

    May I also ask that you pass on my thanks to the upstairs staff who put in such sterling work to get rooms ready before the allotted time which allowed guests to get ready for what was a most wonderful day.

    I will most certainly recommend your venue to our friends as the place to stay when in the Southampton area
