HMS Warrior 

Discover one of the most sought after locations on the south coast; the famous HMS Warrior. Spend your whole day with us, having your ceremony aboard the ship before carrying on into the evening, or hire us for reception only. This incredible venue provides the perfect setting for a truly memorable wedding. Your reception drinks can be held on the upper deck, making the most of the spectacular views across Portsmouth’s famous harbour.

This historic venue blends its original charm, character, and Victorian splendour with the superb service of 21st-century hospitality.

Explosion Museum of Naval Firepower

Tucked away in Gosport, Explosion Museum sits on the historic Priddy’s Hard with fantastic views across the Solent and the naval dockyard. For your special day, you can enjoy the whole space; the camber basin for reception drinks and picturesque photographs, the museum galleries for you and your guests to explore, and exclusive hire of our stunning 18th century Grand Magazine.

The gunpowder store originating from 1771, boasts a magnificent vaulted ceiling and beautiful Georgian wood floors. The Grand Magazine is a large, open space that is a blank canvas for your wedding; the room is divided so that you can move seamlessly from your ceremony to reception.

The Royal Navy Submarine Museum

The Royal Navy Submarine Museum offers a quirky venue for your celebration, home to the HMS Alliance – one of the only Second World War era submarine as the perfect backdrop for evening reception photos.

Immerse yourself in the atmosphere and the unusual setting of the museum for this once-in-a-lifetime experience. All wedding receptions are held after 6pm and offer comfortable surroundings for you and your guests. The John Fieldhouse building can hold 60 people (with a DJ) or 80 people without. The space can also accomodate 180 people standing for a drinks reception.
