We had a wonderful wedding at the Tank Museum in December 2021. I started planning the wedding fairly 'late' in the day, such that we only booked it after going for a look around in July. It sometimes took a little bit of time to get answers to my questions but in fairness I was probably being a bit impatient and asking a lot of questions! We had just over 60 guests and the Cold War Hall was easily big enough to host the ceremony, reception, and evening entertainment, with plenty of space so guests didn't feel cramped. The booking including use of a conference suite for the wedding party, so we had somewhere to get ready and/or change during the day. The Museum has a large hexagonal wooden arch which we had dressed in flowers and ivy swag garland, and which made a great backdrop for the ceremony (along with the tanks in the hall looming in the background). We opted for the rustic wooden benches and tables as we had a vintage style wedding, and these allowed plenty of elbow space for guests. We used many of the suppliers mentioned in the venue's brochure and the lighting company did a great job of turning a fairly large concrete space into a more intimate and colourful venue. The Museum were very helpful in suggesting a range of wedding breakfast and evening buffet options as well as catering for various dietary requirements. They sourced some very good wine and fizz and were able to provide a full (open) bar, including tea and coffee which was much appreciated by our guests who don't drink. On the day, the Museum staff couldn't have been more helpful and were always on-hand to deal with small issues. Many of the guests told me afterwards how much they enjoyed the food and what a wonderful time they had. The guests had access to parts of the Museum until about 8pm, which meant they got to to enjoy the wedding and still have time to wander round afterwards. Overall, we had a great day and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Tank Museum as a venue for a wedding that's a little bit different.

Our teenager chose the venue as it is his favourite place. We were not disappointed. There's not many people who Cam say we got married next to a world war 2 Tank.
They couldn't do enough for us, went above and beyond, you will not be disappointed.
If you like the tank museum it's the place to get married! Will never forget our special day thanks to these guys.......
