At The Shipmans in Northampton, we have had the pleasure of hosting many beautiful wedding receptions following Registry Office ceremonies at The Guildhall – just a stone’s throw away from our historic venue.

Set in the heart of the town centre, The Shipmans is a stunning pub dating back to the early 1700s. Following a full refurbishment in 2021, the building now offers modern facilities while proudly retaining and restoring many original features, giving you the perfect blend of character and comfort.

Weddings are something we are truly passionate about and highly experienced in, having successfully delivered many celebrations over the years. We offer a range of bespoke options for your special day, including unique photo opportunities, an open cocktail bar, and from-scratch menus designed entirely around your tastes. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a larger celebration, The Shipmans is perfectly suited to a variety of wedding styles.

Your dedicated wedding coordinator will be with you from start to finish, ensuring every detail is flawlessly organised. With extensive knowledge of the wedding industry, we’ll support you as much or as little as you need, always with care, expertise and attention to detail.

Embrace your heritage with a Northampton wedding day, and let The Shipmans host your wedding reception.
