Weddings
Set on a small, private marina with a striking ’super yacht’ style design, stunning contemporary interiors throughout, and first-class facilities, Southampton’s only 5-star hotel is also the city’s stand-out wedding venue. It’s ideal for wedding ceremonies, breakfasts and receptions up to 300 guests.
An exceptional venue
Set on a small, private marina with a striking ’super yacht’ style design, our critically-acclaimed flagship hotel is known for its stunning contemporary interiors, luxury facilities and outstanding customer service. Open in 2017, it has earned Southampton’s only five-star designation to date, and is arguably Southampton’s premier wedding venue, and one of the best venues in the south of England for a city wedding.
The hotel has two impressive event rooms, listed below, suitable for any size or theme wedding ceremony, wedding breakfast or reception up to 350 guests; both rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows and views over the Solent seascape.
For exceptional eating and drinking throughout your wedding day, our passionate chefs have prepared a selection of special menus – or you may of course create your own. We use only the highest quality, locally-sourced ingredients, that will delight your guests - to prove it, we’ll give you both a tasting session first. And to ensure your special day runs smoothly, and to take away the stress of organising it, we provide a dedicated wedding coordinator who’ll help you every step of the way.
For before and after your event, we can offer your guests discounted room rates for those wishing to stay, an award-winning restaurant, a destination rooftop bar, plus access to the luxury spa and state-of-the-art gym. There's also a selection of great, locally-themed activities and experiences. See our staff’s recommendations of the best activities, attractions & events in Southampton and the wider Dorset and Hampshire area here.
The hotel is readily accessible for your guests coming from near or far. It’s located close to the city centre and cruise terminals, a few minutes’ drive from Southampton’s central train station and airport, and is easily accessed from both the nearby M27 and M3 motorways.
All of our hotels are accessible, and help is always on hand for any of your guests who need assistance.
