What a great day

Everything went so well and most people were surprised at the transformation of the Ship. The food was great and it was an excellent venue.

Utterly unique!

I attended a wedding on the Tall Ship back in October and it was just beautiful! It's so unique and honestly amazing how the ship was transformed for the ceremony and reception.
The staff were all so nice also, nothing was too much, and the wee bar onboard had a nice selection too.

Definitely recommend and hope I can come back to ceilidh down the deck again soon!

Brilliant Wedding Experience

Recently I was a guest at a friends wedding which was on The Tallship! It was a really brilliant evening. The quality of food was great, and being able to get a pint of beer on a ship which is over a 100 years old was wild to me!

The way the wedding was organized outside on the deck and then downstairs for the food and ceilidh was really well managed.

It was a lovely day being able to celebrate their marriage on The Tallship!

Would definitely host my own events here in the future.

Incredible!!

Such an incredible venue to host a wedding. The staff are so lovely and accommodating and the ship itself is just magical! Can’t recommend it enough! From the atmospheric cargo hold for the ceremony to the top deck for stunning views of Glasgow on the Clyde with drinks, nibbles and a piper - it was just glorious!

The best day! Thank you!

Thank you to the Tall Ship team! We booked the venue two years before our wedding and felt in safe hands throughout that time. We were able to visit as often as we needed, and all the staff were so helpful. I had the best day, and my partner and I were both able to truly relax and enjoy it. Highly recommended! Thanks again to the team
