Testimonials
What they said!
We had our wedding ceremony at the Maritime Museum and it is the most wonderful venue. A big thank you to Siobhan and Declan who were so kind and helpful throughout the whole process. Planning a wedding in the middle of a pandemic is no easy task and they made everything as straightforward as they possibly could. This is such a stunning and unique venue for a wedding ceremony – the photographs are absolutely stunning particularly with the Baily Optic in the background.
The most wonderful place to have a wedding. Myself and my now hubby got married in the Maritime last Friday it couldn’t have been any better. Siobhan and Declan were fantastic thanks so much for making the whole process so relaxed and special.
Just to say thank you all so much for last Thursday. We had a fantastic day at the Maritime Museum. Your professionalism and relaxed manner was outstanding. You really helped to calm the nerves. Everything was absolutely perfect. We will be recommending the Maritime Museum to everyone.
The National Maritime Museum truly exceeded all of our expectations when searching for somewhere to hold our wedding ceremony. A beautiful setting, we continue to have guests compliment how spectacular a venue it is. The staff were beyond friendly and helpful, with plenty of experience, placing us in capable hands to help organise our big day. Of all the hundreds of decisions you are faced with when planning a wedding choosing the Maritime turned out to be one of our very best!
