The Story

Say ‘I do’ on board Brunel’s SS Great Britain, for a truly unique wedding celebration.

Celebrate your wedding aboard Brunel’s SS Great Britain, a truly unique venue set in the heart of Bristol’s lively harbourside. Just a stone’s throw from the city centre and convenient transport links, it’s an ideal setting for couples with guests travelling from near and far. Licensed for civil ceremonies, you can exchange vows on the Promenade Deck beneath the beautiful skylight, with unforgettable opportunities for wedding photography throughout the ship and its stunning waterfront surroundings.

After your ceremony, soak up the late afternoon sun on the Weather Deck, with the ship’s fluttering flags and the colourful houses of Clifton Wood as your backdrop. Host your wedding breakfast in the splendid First Class Dining Saloon, where all food is freshly prepared on board with careful attention to quality, wine and champagne. Later, dance the night away in the Hayward Saloon, which can accommodate a DJ or band, whilst enjoying exclusive use of the ship for the entire evening.

A dedicated wedding co-ordinator will ensure your day runs smoothly, while the award-winning stewards are on hand throughout the evening to offer your guests tours of the ship. With its central location, the venue is close to Bristol’s best hotels and accommodation options, ensuring convenience for all your guests.
