Princess is most pleased

We both work in the maritime industry and so we thought HMS Warrior was a venue "on-brand" for us. Despite being a ship of war, we were so pleased with how it looked on the day. We couldn't believe how romantic and special it was. Of all the weddings/ wedding venues our guests had been to in their lives, I am sure attending one on HMS Warrior would be hard for them to forget.

The events team at the museum were outstanding with their organisation, professionalism and communication. They made the planning process a lot less stressful.

Events Team - Laura

We were very much struck with the professionalism of the Events team, in particular Laura who managed the day for us. She was extremely responsive, helpful, supportive and ensured that we had the most wonderful wedding day, including ensuring the Captain’s Cabin was warm enough for us. She struck the right balance of support on the day to reassure us our day would run smoothly. A perfect wedding day for us.

Perfect day

The staff were brilliant before, during and after the wedding. They were very helpful and accommodating when we had to postpone last year- they provide so much that they are great value for money. The day was perfect and just what we wanted!
